Well, the teleconference is more of a face-saving show by the US. The backlash is getting high by the hours. The American people back home and abroad are begining to question the US role in the whole Syrian bruhaha. They aint buying it any longer, not even the usual MSM steroetyping of Russia killing civilians. Is no longer working, hence the need to have this panick-mode teleconference (you don't just mess around with a nucluear armed power). The truth is, the US knows for sure that with Russia on the ground in Syria, it's plan for the country and the Middle East as it stand, is doom to fail. There is also the fear of possible clashes between the two super powers over the air in Syria, which could definitly lead to open confrontation. Again, the Yankees also need to save face especially now that most of it key players/allies are gradually shifting poles - seeing Russia as an indispensible player when it comes to any decision regarding Syria. France is inviting the Vladinator to address the EU paliament. Cameron is saying Russia's involvement in Syria is a good one. Melkel (though talking from both side of the mouth,) is now saying the Syrian issue can never be solve without Russia. Iraq is fed up with the US double standard, and is now sharing intelligence and coordinating with Russia over ISIS (so much for isolation). Iran is already on ground, any where Putin puts his foot, the Iranians will stick in their heads and butts; while China is tacitly warming up to openly join the fray with the Uyghurs and Xianjing province in Xi's mind, the N.Koreans may just be tempted to gain some international credibility and get some pound of flesh in revenge against the US, especially if Key ally, China, openly joins the blood party. The Serbs and CSTO members (in the event of things getting high up) are most likely to join the Putin gradually forming coalition-all in the name of fighting this hostis humanis generis (ISIS - an enemy of all mankind). And once China is openly involve in the conflict (which is becoming possible by the day), you can bet your money on it that most of, if not all of the entire SCO member states, would be seen throwing up planes and feets over Syria, not to mention that Syria is just a starting point for now. Soon it would be Iraq. Such is the powerful influnce of China and Russia in the geopolitical arena in the East and deeper parts of Asia.

And as it stands, the US has no virtual ally anymore regarding Syria (apart from Isreal, Saudis and Qatarist vassals), its European key allies are tired of the US, though they won't openly allude to it. But on the other hand, Russia's position is getting firmer and stronger, no matter how the MSM tries to paint it; couple with the Putin Rugged stance in his speech at the UN, the hand writing is very clear: Russia will never consider Assad defeat, and if anybody tries to bring that into reality, then he must first get past the Russians. And you know what that means,
These much the US understands, and the sudden need to have this conference and military to military rapport with the only Nation that can reduce the continental US into a radioactive ash. No joking!

That Putin body language at the UN said it all.

The Russians will go tooth and nail all the way in Syria. The US military brass sees beyond kerry, and the white house foreign secretariat, and thjose bunch of misinformed lunatics aspiring for the White House.

The world is currently seating on a keg of thermo nuclear warfare vis any miscaculations in Syria.

Therefore, i am expecting some compromise to come from both sides, particularly from the Yankees side. They just have to let go the stupid temerity that Assad must go, otherwise, anything can happen. But i don't see any more meaningful outcome from this teleconference. Putin has already made his point known. Is now left for The US to compromise.

Exactly US policy of supporting rebels to overthrow so called oppressive rulers against the resolutions of the UN security council have created even worse situations in its wake. Iraq, Lybia, Afghanisthan easily comes to mind. Now terrorists are being exported as refugees to Europe Russia's neighbors.

Russia is saying enough is enough!

If the US wont respect the resolutions of the UN ......whats the point of the organisation? We(RUSSIA) will support Asssad against ISIS and any who stand in our way will have themselves to blame.

Europe generally doesn't have any stomach for war - after fighting two brutal world wars and nations were carved out to maintain territorial integrity and for prosperity. The elephant in the room is the US which is hellbent on world domination. And for the US to achieve total domination - Russia has to fall under its sphere of influence - especially Siberia, hence the US always label Siberia as the second biggest prize in the world. Also, the road to Asia, goes through Russia and the whole of Euroasia is very strategic to the US. Another reason why the US wants a weak and fragmented Russia.

Let to Europe - most Europeans want a unified Europe, with Russia as part of it. But the US won't let that happen. Europe is a very small continent and adding Russia to it, would increase its size and reach - and open a lot of doors to Asia. That's what Europe wants.

Militarily, at the moment, European countries aren't that strong (compared to other world powers). France is France - the country will always cower under intense pressure militarily. With the UK - the empire died time ago and the country cares more about the money coming through London than war...and apart from creating an effective and small military, the UK has no stomach for war. Germany hasn't recovered from World War 2 and its military is in a very bad shape due to the never ending occupation by the yanks. Ditto Italy and its 3rd rate military.

innervoice:


The UK is ranked fifth in military strength. France is ranked sixth. Germany is ranked eighth (it has recovered well). Moreover, Germany is one of the biggest weapon manufacturers and exporters along with France and the UK.

Shymm3x:


Ranked on paper.

doncaster:
Guy you killed this analysis. Vlad just made a bold statement that he don't need any ally to do what he outh to do to protect Assad. Like he said at the UN that the world can not keep quiet any longer while US destroy the world. While sharing wine with Obama in US his army are preparing for the mission ahead. The worst part is he concealed his next move like a mafian, took everybody unaware. I so much love that man.
