Further Russian intervention in Syria’s civil war could make things worse for civilians and the coalition battling Islamic State fighters there, Secretary of State John Kerry warned Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in a phone call Saturday. [...] Reports that U.S. intelligence officials have found evidence of a growing Russian military presence has raised concerns at the White House that Russian President Vladimir Putin is lending even more assistance to Syrian President Bashar Assad than previously known. [...] “The secretary made clear that if such reports were accurate, these actions could further escalate the conflict, lead to greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk confrontation with the anti-ISIL coalition operating in Syria,” the statement said. Syrians have been fleeing a four-year civil war as well as advances by Islamic State militants, who've taken over large swaths of the country. [...] U.S. officials have not confirmed Moscow’s intentions but they are concerned the aid could be used against U.S.-backed opponents of Assad’s government, the Los Angeles Times reported. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a Republican candidate for president, called the developments “a slap in the face to President Obama and John Kerry.” “This shows you how little respect Russia has for us,” Graham said Saturday.

What US backed opponents are we talking about ...the fiction that Graham and McCain call the 'Free Syrian Army ' ? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
No one has any respect for Kerry, Graham, Obama, McCain and the D&R party terrorist "rebels". WE don't even have any respect for us. If we did,we wouldn't keep elected these same globalist shitheads and their clones. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Man, if that ain't the damn truth !!!! Si vis pacem, para bellum
Let Swift Boat Kerry confront Putin personally. Then he can limp back to the U. S. and receive the first Purple Heart that he will have actually earned. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a Republican candidate for president, called the developments “a slap in the face to President Obama and John Kerry.” No kidding?
WE don't even have any respect for us.
McStain did not meet with al-Baghdadi. He did meet with some FSA fighters with al-Nusra (al-Qaeda) connections and including some who were involved in kidnapping-for-ransom plots in the region.
The person in the pic is incorrectly identified? Yes. This is just some Photoshop Run Amok. We have enough to despise the Stain for. People don't need to make up this crap as he's done so many other awful things and constantly agitates for war. Pretty much war-everywhere-and-anywhere-and-right-now. The greater danger is that the Stain is influential at advocating for war but is monumentally stupid about choosing the right fights. Which is fortunate as enough people have finally realized how dangerous he is. It seems pretty apparent that he has some mental problem that lead to this behavior.
