U.S., UK say support is weak for military action against Syria

Lol, other countries huh? Writings on the wall moron. This isn't the 90s anymore!!

“When a great power is involved in a fight like this, as Russia has chosen to be by going there and then putting its missiles in place in order to threaten people against military action, it raises the stakes of confrontation,” Kerry said after the meeting in London.

No, Mr Kerry! Russia has engaged against terrorism by blocking funding and by rooting out Islamic fanatics ie Isil.

The US has only contributed to the problem......

Support it weak for a reason. The rebels that are going to take over behead kids and hold rights workers hostage. How are they going to form a better government?

Most of the west pop is behind Putin killing these animals.

Mr. Kerry in the last paragraph: "It's easy to say, 'Where's the action?' But what is the action?" he asked. "I have a lot of people who have a lot of trouble defining that." ... .... If HRC raised the prospect of establishing a no-fly zone in Syria in the 2nd debate (as reported in Huffington Post) though several years ago she herself admitted that enforcing that zone might kill a lot of Syrians, then she apparently has no trouble "defining that". And it will be a direct challenge to the Russians. So, Mr. Obama, who has stayed away from establishment of such a zone, has such great confidence in Hillary Clinton as a leader and Commander-in-Chief? I need to ask the President if I can fit my family into his bomb shelter.

A US/West led military intervention against Russia & Al Assad in Syria NOW would only add to the confusion in the region. The n1 enemy of the West is IS, I don't think we need another open war with/against Russia and Syria, diplomacy has to be the best and only solution for now. Al Assad will eventually be removed.

The West can back the FSI and other rebel groups without getting more involved in the Syrian conflict, Russia being Russia doesn't mean we should all interfere, pick a side and fight.

The problem is ridiculously stupid. To many cooks in the kitchen and hands on the pot. The US goal is to prevent a long and drawn out civil war in Syria that lasts for decades, but stupidly supported "rebels" who want Assad out and still have to weed out IS. Russia only wants to keep Assad in power, but at the same time is extending the length that a Civil war will last even if IS wasn't in the region. Turkey wants to kill all Kurdish rebels, and IS is not their top priority. Assads top priority is killing off those who want him out of power, and not IS. Since IS is not the first priority to any of them IS just sneaks in during all the stupidity and tries to implement itself in regions that are not being taken care of due to all the secretarian/tribal/civil wars happening everywhere. Saudi and other rich ME countries aren't putting their priority on IS or Syria because they're thinking it's better to eliminate their old secretarian rivals in Iran and their proxy groups.

The US wants everyone to focus on IS first, but obviously all other countries aren't going to make the US's first priority, their first priority. And it all devolves into the mess we see today because too many ignorant leaders making stupid choices and going off old hatreds and rivalries.

Ain't humanity just amazingly @#$%ed up?

Syria is the biggest tragedy in this century. so many people die, suffer, and lose their home because of America can't deal with the fact that its world policing are in check by another power. This isn't even about oil, as the country doesn't have any. this is America/west can't swallow its pride. I hope Clinton pull it out when she takes office, damn even Trump would make sane decision than the current administration. Let the Russians have that country, at least the people will have peace.

This isn't even about oil

You're right, it's about natural gas and maintaining the petrodollar and US hedgemony.

I hope Clinton pull it out when she takes office

Read up please. Hillary wants a no-fly zone which could spark a conflict between the US and Russia. Hillary blames Russia when her hair is messy. She will definitely escalate Syria. She is the globalists chosen one and keeping Russia and China down is at the top of their list.

Did't the Syrian uprising start as part of the America-inspired Arab Spring? I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, but would Syria be in the state it's in if the protests had never started?

The West needs to back off. Allow Russia to wipe out all rebels, ISIS or otherwise to bring the civil war to a quick end and so end the humanitarian crisis. Once the civil war is over then the diplomatic solution can be explored, but for some reason the West want to pick and chose who they fight, could it be due to the enormous profit for Western arm manufactures? We have already seen what happens when the West destabilises countries. Iraq, Libya Afghanistan total Cluster Fcuk. So, Kerry get back in your box.
