Russia to U.S.: cooperate with us or risk ‘unintended consequences’
September 12, 2015 - Russia warned there could be ‘unintended consequences’ if the U.S. does not engage in military-to-military cooperation with Moscow, as the Kremlin stages navy exercises off the coast of Syria.

Russia’s military build up in the region has drawn concern from the U.S. and NATO. Moscow says their goal is to help end terrorism in Syria, but the U.S. has warned that Russia’s involvement could exacerbate Syria’s multi-sided civil war and is concerned over Russia’s support for Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Speaking at a news conference in Moscow, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov blamed Washington for cutting off direct military-to-military communication between Russia and NATO after the crisis in Ukraine last year.

He said such contracts were “important for the avoidance of undesired, unintended incidents,” Reuters reported. “We are always in favor of military people talking to each other in a professional way. They understand each other very well,” Mr. Lavrov said. “If, as (U.S. Secretary of State) John Kerry has said many times, the United States wants those channels frozen, then be our guest.” In recent days, U.S. officials have described what they say is an increase of Russian equipment and manpower, Reuters reported.

President Barack Obama meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, Monday, June 17, 2013. Obama and Putin discussed the ongoing conflict in Syria during their bilateral meeting.

President Barack Obama said Russia’s involvement would not change U.S. strategy in the fight against Islamic State terrorists, which included U.S. planes leading an international coalition in airstrikes in Syria. “But we are going to be engaging Russia to let them know that you can’t continue to double-down on a strategy that is doomed to failure,” he said at an event with military service members during a visit to Maryland, Reuters reported.

Recent intelligence reports have indicated that Moscow is sending anti-aircraft missiles to Syria. The system would be operated by Russia troops, rather than Syrians, a Western official said, Reuters reported. U.S. officials have also said they believe about 200 Russian naval infantry forces were now stationed at an airfield near the Syrian city of Latakia, an Assad stronghold, and that number has increased in recent days. Mr. Lavrov has said Russia was sending supplies to help Mr. Assad fight extremists and said Russia servicemen were in Syria primarily to help service equipment and teach Syrian soldiers how to use it.

France tells Putin to confine airstrikes to Islamic State
Oct 2,`15 -- With Russian warplanes bombing Syria for a third day, French President Francois Holland told President Vladimir Putin on Friday that Moscow's airstrikes must be confined to attacking Islamic State militants, not other rebels opposing the Damascus government.

Hollande used a meeting on Ukraine to address Western concerns that Russia's airstrikes would serve to strengthen Syrian President Bashar Assad by targeting rebels - perhaps including some aligned with the U.S. - rather than hitting IS fighters it has promised to attack. Allies in a U.S.-led coalition that is conducting its own air campaign in Syria called on Russia to cease attacks on the Syrian opposition and to focus on fighting the Islamic State group. A joint statement by France, Turkey, the U.S. Germany, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Britain expressed concern that Russia's actions will "only fuel more extremism and radicalization." The Russian Defense Ministry released images showing that its jets hit an Islamic State-held area near its de facto capital of Raqqa in northern Syria on Thursday. It said there were 14 new missions Friday, including targets in Idlib and Hama provinces.

Hollande said he told Putin that only one of Russia's strikes in three days hit at the Islamic State, also known as ISIL, ISIS and Daesh. The other strikes, Hollande added, were on areas controlled by the opposition. "Russia has always been involved in Syria. Since the beginning, Russia has supported the regime of Bashar Assad and furnished him weapons, even if it goes further now," Hollande told reporters. "But what I told Mr. Putin is that the strikes must concern Daesh, and only Daesh." German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who also attended the meeting with Putin, added that the leaders "said very clearly that Daesh was the enemy that we needed to fight." "We also said that we needed a political solution for Syria that should take into consideration the opposition's interests and that opposition has always had our support," she added.

In Washington, President Barack Obama said Russia's military campaign fails to distinguish between terrorist groups and moderate rebel forces with a legitimate interest in a negotiated end to the civil war. He called Russia's military involvement, including airstrikes, a self-defeating exercise that will move the Syrian conflict further away from a solution. Obama also said that Syria would not turn into a "proxy war" between the United States and Russia. Putin left the Paris meeting without comment - and without appearing alongside the French and German leaders.

Let me see.
Russia is operating in Syria at the request of the government.
America is operating in Syria against the wishes of their government.

Yep, Russia has every right under international law to give you the finger.

The US is accusing Russia, without the slightest evidence, of what America is doing in other countries.

Three Médecins Sans Frontières staff killed in suspected US airstrike on Afghan hospital

A US airstrike appears to have hit a hospital run by Médecins Sans Frontières in the Afghan city of Kunduz early on Saturday morning.

MSF said its hospital in the war-torn northern city was bombed and badly damaged in an aerial attack that killed at least three staff members. Thirty staff were still unaccounted for.

“We are deeply shocked by the attack, the killing of our staff and patients and the heavy toll it has inflicted on healthcare in Kunduz,” says Bart Janssens, MSF director of operations.

Russia is attacked US armed extremists whilst American forces murder doctors.

If anyone has been paying attention - Russia used to be two generation behind everyone else, especially the United States; now they are a half a step behind......if not next to the United States in Military technology and equipment.

This should worry us, especially the eastern bloc.
