Secretary of State John Kerry has as much influence over Vladimir Putin as a yo-yo has with a shark. Putin has totally ignored Kerry's supplications to cease bombing non-combatant Syrians and allow them to receive critical humanitarian aid lest they starve to death.
As a response to Kerry, Putin has escalated the air sorties and deployed Russia's most lethal fighter jets to Syria, the Su-35S, with air-to-air and air-to-ground capabilities.
The Russian airstrikes hit Syrian opposition forces, some of which are CIA-backed. These attacks have derailed proposed peace talks in Geneva Wednesday, but perhaps Kerry can 'do a Hillary' and send them another reset button.
Putin backed two U.N. resolutions supporting a ceasefire, but has broken its promise to stop bombing civilians--much like Iran will likely do once they develop a nuclear weapon they say they will not develop.
Kerry was optimistic when in Rome: "[T]here will be a ceasefire. We expect a ceasefire. And we expect adherence to the ceasefire. And we expect full humanitarian access."
And unicorns.
Two days after Kerry spoke, the Russians were bombing like a Mohammad YouTube video. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have no access to food supplies and are literally starving.
Kerry claimed he was assured by his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, that the bombings would stop. Big surprise--Lavrov lied. (See also Iran Nuclear Talks for more of the same.)
"I talked to Foreign Minister Lavrov a couple of days ago," the naive Kerry said, "and I specifically discussed a ceasefire with him, and he said they are prepared to have a ceasefire."
The very next day Lavrov figuratively flipped him off and told him the strikes would continue. "Russian strikes will not cease [in Syria]," he said. "I don't see why these airstrikes should be stopped." A few hours later the U.N. talks went south, but Kerry continued to whine.
"It could not be more clear. That is an obligation that is not tied to talks. It is an obligation accepted by all parties in the United Nations resolution. Russia voted for that; Russia has a responsibility, as do all parties, to live up to it," Lavrov said.
Since Monday, Russia has already carried out over 300 strikes, none of them perfunctory like ours.
The State Department has denied the peace conference was a waste of time, but they are the same idiots who wanted an extra month to produce more of Hillary Clinton's emails due to a snow storm.
Our administration is run by liberals who use cries of "politically motivated" to give cover for their rank incompetence.
