Syrian president: Paris attacks a terrible crime

The administration wants first to test Putin’s willingness to follow through on a political agreement to end Syria’s civil war and to stop bombing U.S.-backed Syrian forces seeking to oust President Bashar al-Assad, a Russian client.

Russia, which has conducted an air campaign in Syria since September 30, sharply raised the intensity starting Tuesday following confirmation that the Russian plane in Egypt was downed by a bomb, which the Islamic State group said it had planted. “Terrorists don’t quarrel; they manage to agree pretty well”.

France, too, is preparing to escalate its assault on Islamic State, which has been concentrated on the group’s Syrian stronghold of Raqqa.

Hollande will soon meet with Obama in Washington to urge the creation of a broader worldwide coalition against ISIS before flying to Moscow to talk with Putin about the same thing.

According to Times of Israel report, Putin apparently has agreed with the global community that Assad has to go if the civil war needs to end in Syria.

The Islamic State group only exists thanks to “the support of the Turks and the Saudis and Qatari, and of course the western policy that supported the terrorists in different ways”, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said in a new interview. By taking a more aggressive stance militarily and diplomatically, Putin aims to press an indecisive USA and Europe to cooperate with Russian Federation.

US Secretary of State John Kerry has recently said that the ceasefire in Syria is close, also mentioning Iran and Russian Federation. “And it was notable to us that, you know, those are antiquated tactics”, Warren said.

Left unanswered is the crucial question of whether Assad has a future in Syria.

However, they remained at loggerheads over the role that Assad would play in Syria’s political process.

“We must be implacable against all forms of violence”. Even before the attacks, there were stepped-up efforts to de-conflict operations, and now this thaw offers limited possibilities for military-to-military cooperation, say defense officials.

Hollande stressed that “life must resume in full” and promised extra security to ensure that museums and popular tourist sites can reopen. “Roosevelt didn’t like Stalin, but he had to get a deal with him in order to defeat the Nazis, who were the greater evil”, Garcia-Margallo said. But, after the Paris attack, this alliance seems to be changing.

A number of unlikely allies – including Russian Federation, the United States, China, and many European countries – are joining forces and shared intelligence in what Pope Francis is calling “World War III”. He’s held back from asking Parliament to vote on the issue for lack of cross-party support.

“That said, you know, they were attempting to strike ISIL targets”, which would be a net plus, he said, using the USA government’s acronym for the Islamic State. “Those are people who are in it for the money, they aren’t true believers and could be scared away from the trade”.

“Russian mobilization through proxies as well as with naval and air assets ranges beyond Syria in an increasingly aggressive pattern”, the Institute for the Study of War said.
