Nikki Haley: US 'prepared to do more' against Assad in Syria

Nikki Haley Rips Into Russia For Their Role In The Gas Attack

President Trump is "prepared to do more" to stop the ongoing civil war in Syria if Russia cannot convince Syrian President Bashar Assad to abide by ceasefire agreements, a top U.S. diplomat warned Friday.

"The United States took a very measured step last night," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley told the Security Council on Friday. "We are prepared to do more, but we hope that will not be necessary. It is time for all civilized nations to stop the horrors that are taking place in Syria and demand a political solution."

She largely implicated Russia's actions or inactions as being a part of the attacks.

Is she for ISIS or Al Qaeda, because that's pretty much the choice

It seems Haley is largely saying what many have for some time, Russia is not really fighting ISIS there or maybe that is in reading between the lines.

Russia isn't fighting ISIS as such. They are fighting the rebels. Sometimes ISIS gets in the way of that and gets swatted, but it's rarely a deliberate action. Assad's forces have currently pretty much given up on the eastern parts of Syria and have been concentrating on the populous western half.

So you are saying that the peace negotiations that have gone on involve ISIS or Al Qaeda sitting at the table.

Comrade Putin thanks you for disseminating Iranian/Russian propaganda.

Putin is your comrade, not mine. I was against Putin when the Trumpists were fawning all over him
