Russia will not stop its operations in Syria before it defeats the terrorists, Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov said Tuesday in a press conference in Muscat, Oman.

“The raids will not stop in Syria before we defeat terror groups like Al-Nusra and I don’t see a reason to stop,” Lavrov said.

US Secretary of State John Kerry previously said that Moscow must stop its military operations against the opposition troops in Syria since peace talks have started in Geneva between the Syrian regime and the opposition.

Lavrov also said it will be difficult to agree a ceasefire without controlling the Syrian-Turkish borders to stop the influx of new fighters. “Regarding a ceasefire, we have ideas and we spoke with the US, who head the Syria support group, and we look forward to discussing those ideas,” he said.

1. Putin is CIA.

2. Good.

3. I agree with Hammond (the UK Foreign Secretary) - Russia is just making the situation in Syria worse

4. One might ask how that is possible.

3/4 of the nation is controlled by terrorists and Islamist radicals. 1/4 is controlled by a dictator. The world has two options...Syria becoming a terrorist state, or Syria continuing to be run by a dictator.

One might argue that, in a lose/lose scenario, Russia correctly chose the lesser of two evils.

5. Assad isn't even remotely a benign dictator.

Any solution to this mess must include his removal. He is one of Syria's biggest enemies.
