لافروف يعلن عن موقف موحد مع إيران حول سوريا: واشنطن هي من تسلح المقاتلين

Sergey, You were much more appreciated when you were the Russian Ambassador at the UN in NY... Cut a deal with the Free Syrian Army so you may keep your naval base in Tartous and let the Syrians live the way they want.

This Sergei Lavrov should join the Moscow circus as the lead clown. Russia accusing the US but meanwhile they've been stuffing Assad with their own weapons for decades. Maybe he is worried that the US is trying to cut into their arms market with far superior weapon compared to their inferior goods.

If he thought the opposition were going to win, he might have.

This is a clear and honest assessment of the real situation. The USA, ksa, gulf states, jordan and Israel are fighting a proxy war against what king Abdullah of jordan said is a "Shiite crescent, from Iran, Iraq (thanks to the us invasion) Syria, hezballah and Hamas. The Russians and Chinese are siding with Syria and the west with the rebels. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. This is not just the people against a tyrant... the rebels and anti regime forces struggle to command 50% popularity amoung the Syrian people. I am not for or against any side, but only wish lebanon stays free of any spill over conflict. The problem is, when it becomes so sectarian, like it has become... The end game is war in Lebanon. We can't blame anyone else but our selves. Lebanese are idiots.

They are so deep into the king size bed with the Syrian regime that by the time they realize they are on the losing side it will be too late. Also they have to account for Iran who is also their patron. They will have to ditch Iran if they side with the rebels in Syria.

This conflict is a wonderful opportunity for Russia and the US. They're both selling their filthy destructive weapons.

Hey Mr. Lavrov, freedom will prevail in Syria just like it did in the USSR, it's a matter of time, you're on the wrong side of history sir.

This is a lie. The rebels are manufacturing their own weapons: bows and arrows, slingshots, sticks, stones, ropes.... and things like that.

He accuses the US of arming the Syrian Opposition while Russia is unloading weapons and attack helicopters at Tartous to be used by the Regime against the Syrian people. The fact that Russia is arming the Regime is without dispute.
The role of the US in arming the Opposition is not so clear. In fact the US has refrained from directly arming anyone, instead, the Saudis and Qataris are providing the money and the arms dealers are doing the rest with, I am sure, Russian arms dealers cashing in on the largesse.
Another hypocrit, Lavrov, to go with the one in Damascus, the one that's in the hole in the ground in Dahyieh and the one in Rabiah.

The Russian alliance with Assad is giving him false hopes and will end up hurting him more then the US could.
