After talks with Putin and Lavrov, Kerry announced the United States' new Syria policy. It excludes a "regime change" and rejects the "opposition" groups' demand for Assad's resignation. The following article, however, translates his words not correct. Kerry said that the US and its partners do not seek a regime change but do not believe that Assad will be able to govern Syria in the future.

"After talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry claimed that the United States are not seeking a regime change in Syria.

“The United States and its partners are not seeking regime change in Syria,” Kerry said in a news conference inside the Kremlin. He however emphasized that the U.S. believes President Assad cannot remain the leader of Syria in the future.

This statement however shows a change of outlook when in the years since 2011, the U.S. were adamant for the immediate removal of President Assad from power. They have called for this ever since till now.



“Despite the different positions of our countries, we have shown that Russia and the United States are moving in the same direction,” Kerry said.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the talks “substantive.”

“No one should be forced to choose between a dictator and being plagued by terrorists,” Kerry said. He stated that the Islamist rebel demands that Assad must leave immediately as a “nonstarting position, obviously.”

“The world is better off when Russia and the U.S. work together”, he added, calling Obama and Putin’s current cooperation a “sign of maturity.”

“There is no policy of the United States, per se, to isolate Russia,” Kerry stressed."

The regime change (or not change) in Syria should be none of Kerry's business.

"It should be only up to Syrian people." (Putin)

I think that's the concern. There's a high likelihood that a Hezbollah coalition would win an election out there. Bathists are the only strong alternative. People talk about the security vacuum... look how the political vacuum can go wrong: see Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. They had a fast and fairly bloodless junta/coup. Syria is in smithereens.

Hezbollah is not a political opponent of the Syrian government but a military ally. Hezbollah also does not fight secularism, while the Syrian government represents secularism.

There's a Bathist regime, so there's no political opponent, particularly any non-secular opponent. What happens when the Baths fall? Hezbolla is political. They run Lebannon for many intents and purposes, but they don't have that access to Syria. ...because of Assad.

There is of course legal opposition in Syria.
Syria's tolerated opposition due in Moscow for talks

Hezbollah is a Lebanese political party that also has a strong military wing. Their main objective is the independence of Lebanon. They fight with Christians against Islamist terrorists in Lebanon. Hezbollah does not plan to take over other countries.

That shit doesn't work, bringing these exiles back for an election. Again: look at Iraq.

The reason why I finger Hezbollah here is that it's more accurate to say that it was founded because of Lebannon, not that it is limited to that country. Which of these exiles are prepared to administer order like ISIS or Hezbollah or the current Syrian Regime? Each are de facto countries, not just disenfranchised politicians.

These 'tolerated' clowns couldn't even form a militia in a civil war where everyone's got a militia.

You don't realize what Hezbollah is. Of course it is also fighting in Syria and Iraq but it is not establishing its own governance there.

As for the mentioned opposition parties, they are normal political opposition and not after others' throats.

I appreciate your help. The gameplan that Iran has is to affect their interest through this "by Syrians" method not through Hezbollah invasion. Does that help you to understand my original point:

for real information on HEZBOLLAH----talk to Lebanese Christians in the USA and ALSO Yemeni muslims in the USA. Hezbollah is an Iranian Shiite Terrorist militia. Hezbollah likes to execute people via obscene mutilation for the
glory of allah al Shiite. The organization is Iran's answer to Al Qaeda------it is far more CLOSELY under the control of Iran than Al Quaida is under the control of
any foreign government
