John Kerry: "We Would Prefer That Russia Is Not Supplying Assistance To Syria"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Following up on the earlier report that Israel had warned the US that Russia was preparing to sell "advanced" military equipment to Syria (in False Flag Broken Telephone fashion), it was only a matter of time before the new US Secretary of State voiced his indignation over a development whereby someone else was providing arms to a conflict country's government, instead of the US providing its own weapons to said country's Al Qaeda-assisted rebel forces. Sure enough, he did: "I think we have made it crystal clear that we would prefer that Russia is not supplying assistance," Mr. Kerry said at a news conference after meeting the new Italian Foreign Minister Emma Bonino." While there was no immediate quote substantiating it, there is a rumor that Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov's response was a less than politically correct phrasing along the lines that he "would prefer that the US not supply assistance to Syrian rebels."

From WSJ:

Secretary of State John Kerry said the transfer of advanced missile defense systems from Russia to Syria could potentially destabilize Israel's security, as he announced new humanitarian aid for Syria.

 

Mr. Kerry said the U.S. has expressed concerns about what the S-300 batteries in Syria would mean for Israel's security. He wouldn't address what the missiles might mean for Syria's civil war.

 

Speaking to reporters in Rome Thursday, the secretary of state stressed the U.S. would prefer Russia not to provide military assistance to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The Wall Street Journal reported that Russia was preparing to sell the weapons to Mr. Assad's regime, saying Israel had warned the U.S.

 

Mr. Kerry also praised Moscow for helping try to organize peace talks on Syria.

 

"I think we have made it crystal clear that we would prefer that Russia is not supplying assistance," Mr. Kerry said at a news conference after meeting the new Italian Foreign Minister Emma Bonino.

 

Mr. Kerry also announced Thursday that the U.S. would provide $100 million in new funds aimed at providing humanitarian aid for Syria. He said the funds were "another step forward," in helping support refugees and civilians trapped in the spiral of violence inside Syria.

And the reason why America is beloved all over the world:

Mr. Kerry also reiterated that Mr. Assad cannot be part of any transitional government in the country. "The foreign minister will work with us, as they have, to try to bring all the parties to the table so that we can effect a transition government by mutual consent on both sides, which clearly means that, in our judgment, President Assad will not be a component of that transitional government," he said.

Or, in other words, popular opinion abroad is irrelevant if and when the US has spoken what it believes is best in order to "liberate" said popular opinion.

John Kerry is a.k.a. John Kohn

From the most radical Israeli journalist, Barry Chamish (who has exposed numerous crimes of the Israeli regime, like the Israeli gov't role in killing Israeli Prime Minister Rabin):

«  ... And what did we recently discover; why Kerry is Jewish on his father's side. Kerry was Kohn. Somehow, he forgot the fact that his grandparents were prominent Jewish business people in Prague and that his father is 100% Jewish. Ask yourself, do you know anyone who doesn't know his father's religious background ... »

"Secretary of State John Kohn said the transfer of advanced missile defense systems from Russia to Syria could potentially destabilize his homeland's security, as he announced new humanitarian aid for Syria." - New York Times

 

What it really means is that Israel could eventually be held physically accountable for its actions. That is what he means by destabilize Israeli security. They would be FORCED to finally make peace, and they absolutely do not want to, they want a freehand to make war at any time, and S-300 networks could stymie them in the air, just like Kornet missiles stymied them on the ground, in 2006.

Yup, I can, the ever fierce and warlike kike will use conventional EMP devices to zap the radar antennas and comms, but the network will have a secondary IR passive guidance system. The Rooski's do have a pretty good IR/Laser based medium altitude GBAD SAM system called Pantsir, and Syria actually already has it, in considerable numbers. In which case the wicked kike will launch cruise missiles from inside Israel, fly them in at tree top height, and they will still hit most targets within Syria. It's expensive but it does work if you need to hit something (and obomba will be more than willing to make your taxes pay for it).

That's just what will happen if they need to take on the Syrians, regardless of S-300, they can still be negated.

That's why I said "stymie", not "stop". ;)

I love Sowell. I remember watching him when he was doing the Friedman debates. But I can't for the life of me figure out how he can say things like this as well:

 

Members of the Obama administration have been pointing out how hard it would be to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities, now that they have been built deep underground and dispersed.

That would have been something to consider during the time when President Obama was taking leisurely and half-hearted measures to create the appearance of trying to stop the Iranian nuclear program, while vigorously warning Israel not to take military action.

Time was never on our side. The risks go up exponentially the longer we wait. When the Iranian nuclear program was just getting started, it could have been destroyed before it became so big, so dispersed and so deeply dug in underground. Now, if we wait till they actually have nuclear bombs, the same kinds of arguments for inaction will carry even more weight, when the price of an attack on Iran can be the start of a nuclear Holocaust.

Sanctions busting. Supply to a third party who supply to your customer. (ask south africa)

Takes an extra 8 hours to ship the goods.

So Israel can bomb at any time and kill another 300 Syrian soldiers and injure hundreds more at their whim? Since when did self-defense become a dirty word?

Russian media reported that 300 Syrian soldiers had been killed and hundreds more wounded in Sunday’s attacks alone.

Prefer?  Really?  As opposed to what?

 

Prefer - that's talking tough - as tough as a marshmallow.

"Prefer" = code for "We don't give a crap, but can't say so publicly".

Nuttinyahoo can hang himself if he wants to, as it's all bullish to our and the Russian MICs.  Joint US-Russian brinksmanship to foster MIC-Biz.

I would prefer if Russia was supplying S-400s to the Syrians.

Maybe a nuke too, to the Syrians and the Iranians, and the Hamas Palestinians in Gaza

See how the Israeli and Saudi and Gulf monarchy goons like them apples

Saudi apparently already has a nuke they bought from Pakistan ... so fair's fair

Everyone armed ... maybe everyone a little more polite

"there is a rumor that Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov's response was a less than politically correct phrasing along the lines that he "would prefer that the US not supply assistance to Syrian rebels."

 

errrr

. . . US not supply asistance to Syrian terrorists."  Sounds better, yes?

I know. I've been posting my own wish to see our foreign secretary, William Hague, in prison for funding terrorism in Syria. What more evidence do they need to arrest these "friends of israel" types in our governments sending tax payers' money to al CIAda and violent morons using chemical weapons and kidnapping UN observers? 

Can we just arrest the whole nest of them and throw away the key?

Why does an out of control bunch of US babylonians declare war on terrorism, and then after a mere ten years, turn around (flip-flop) and support the same with millions of dollars?

The Fly on the Wall Heard It.

My friend the fly on the wall told me the conversation went something like this.

JK:  We'd prefer you not supply... (interrupted)
VP:  Oh go fuck yourselves you arrogant pricks
JK:  Wait!  You didn't even let me.. (interrupted)
VP:  No, I don't really even care anymore, you buncha toothless war mongers.  Go kill some more innocent children in the Third World
JK:  Wait!  Hear me out!
VP:  (long pause awaiting something terribly important, a mighty concession)
JK:  What if I throw in a couple thousand single serving Ketchup packets?
