Russia says Syria's Assad ready to share power
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is ready to hold snap parliamentary elections and could share power with a "healthy" opposition.
[...]
Moscow has made clear it does not want to see Assad toppled and has seized on gains made by Islamic State in Syria and Iraq to urge his foreign foes, including the United States and Saudi Arabia, to work with Damascus to combat the common enemy.
[...]
Moscow wants the U.S.-led coalition carrying out air strikes on Islamic State positions to coordinate with the Syrian and Iraqi armies and moderate anti-Assad rebel groups on the ground, as well as Kurdish forces.
Assad's enemies have refused to cooperate with Damascus, fearing that would help legitimize his rule in Syria, where the West and Gulf states say he is part of the problem, not the solution, and must go.

Toisin sanoen: Venäjä haluaa tuhota ISIS ja siihen on rakennettava koalitio jossa on mukana USA ja Assadin sisäinen oppositio.
Veikkaanpa että USA sabotoi tämän koska heille ISIS:n tuho tai demokratia Syyriaan, on vähemmän tärkeä kuin Venäjän kaataminen. Daesh/ISIS voisi Washintonin mielestä taistella Venäjää vastaan ihan siinä missä Assadia vastaan.

The Obama Administration’s decision to get on board with Russian pushes for a negotiated settlement to Syria’s Civil War took a serious hit today, with rebels reiterating their opposition to talks.

Putin ja Obama yhtyivät siis samaan diplomatiaan. Valitettavasti Syyrian "maltillinen" oppositio kieltäytyy yhteistyöstä.
