: US Suspends Bilateral Diplomatic Relations With Russia On Syria

US Suspends Bilateral Diplomatic Relations With Russia On Syria Oct 3rd 2016, 17:34, by Tyler Durden What last week was just a not so thinly veiled threat lobbed by John Kerry has, now that Russia suspended its participation in a Plutonium cleanup accord with the US, is now official, and as reported moments ago, the US has now suspended bilateral discussions with Russia over Syria, escalating the conflict in the war-torn nation to a level last seen in late 2015. U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS SUSPENDING BILATERAL DISCUSSION ON SYRIA WITH RUSSIA RUSSIA FAILED TO LIVE UP TO ITS COMMITMENTS, STATE DEPT SAYS U.S. WILL WITHDRAW PERSONNEL WHO HAD BEEN DISPATCHED TO WORK ON PLANNED JOINT IMPLEMENTATION CENTER U.S. WILL STILL USE `CHANNEL OF COMMUNICATIONS' WITH RUSSIA While we await more, we can't help but note that the drums of (global, non-proxy) war in Syria are beating ever louder. The next escalatory step from the US at this point would be to send US troops in Syria, which would be promptly met with a retaliatory response by Russia and perhaps China too, which as reported several weeks ago, informally joined the conflict... on the side of Syria's president Assad.
