Russia on the policy change set out in the annual defence policy bill signed into law by US President Barack Obama last week (Washington's decision to supply weapons, including portable air defense missile systems, to militants in Syria):

Moscow views the decision as "hostile," the outgoing Obama administration "appears... to create problems for the incoming Trump administration and complicate its relations on the international stage, as well as to force it to adopt an anti-Russia policy."

"Instead of joining forces to cut short the sway of all forms of extremism there, as we suggested long ago, Washington has decided to deliver military assistance to anti-government groups, which are not much different from the terrorist cutthroats," Zakharova said.

By introducing its new Act, Washington "is bound to see" that its weapons provided for the so-called "moderate opposition" will "soon find their way to the jihadists" from Al-Nusra Front, which is an offshoot of Al-Qaeda, Moscow warned.
"This can only be described as sponsoring terrorism,"


US move to ease arms sales to rebels 'a hostile act'

"Throughout the Syrian civil war, the US has funded several Syrian rebel groups and provided them with logistical support as well as weapons.
Russia, on the other hand, launched a campaign of air strikes last year in support of its ally Assad and his government forces to battle the Syrian opposition groups, some of which are supported by the US.

Zakharova accused the Obama administration of trying to "put a mine" under the incoming administration of Donald Trump by attempting to get it to continue what she called the "anti-Russian line" of the US.
She said that the policy change set out in the annual defence policy bill signed into law by US President Barack Obama last week, would lead to weapons ending up "in the hands of jihadists with whom the sham 'moderate' opposition have long acted jointly".

Assad:


Syria: Western countries only sent aid to terrorists - Assad in exclusive RT interview

"Reporter: President Obama has lifted a ban on arming some Syrian rebels just recently. What impact do you think it could have on the situation on the ground?

Assad: Maybe he lifted it before, but he announced it for the political legitimacy, let's say.
Second point; the timing of the announcement and the timing of the attacking of Palmira directly links these two.

But the question is : where are theae arms going to? in the arms of hands of isis and Al Mussa.
So the announcement of this lifting of this embargo is related directly to the attack on Palmyra, and to the support of other terrorists outside of Aleppo.
Because when they are defeated in Aleppo, the US need to support their proxies somewhere else, because they don't have the interest in solving the conflicts in Syria.

So the cracks of that announcement is to create more chaos. Because the US create chaos in order to manage this chaos, and when they manage this chaos, they wanted to use the different factors in that chaos in order to exploit the different parties of the conflict, whether they are internal parties or external parties."
 
It was a bad idea the first time and remains a bad idea.


If the US government wanted weapons in Syria to enforce its 'red line,' then it should have sent them in with boots...
 
The board looks so wacky at the moment:

Only your solitary name up there bumping up and answering LJ's, BB's, my and water505's threads :)
