Russia Says Syrian Cease Fire Deal in Jeopardy Due to U.S. Demands of Secrecy

You know things aren’t right when the fucking Russians are calling us out for lack of transparency.

J. Kerry has been trying to broker a cease fire agreement with those hacking devils in Russia and appear to have been trolled by them. In an embarrassing press briefing released by the Kremlin, Russia said they cannot endorse the deal because Washington refuses to share the documents with the UN.

“The main problem … which in my mind makes it impossible to produce any resolution, is that they are refusing to give those documents to members of the Security Council or even to read those documents to the members of the Security Council,” Ambassador Churkin told reporters.

“We believe that we cannot ask them (council members) to support documents which they haven’t seen,” said Churkin, suggesting there was lack of unity in U.S. President Barack Obama’s administration toward the agreement.

The U.S. mission to the United Nations said it could not agree with Russia on a way to brief the council that would “not compromise the operational security of the arrangement.”

“Right now we are focused on the implementation of the agreement brokered by Secretary Kerry and Foreign Minister Lavrov, particularly the urgent need for humanitarian aid to reach Syrians in need,” a U.S. spokesperson said in a statement.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry reached agreement on five documents, which they said would not be publicly released. However, France on Thursday called on the United States to share details of the deal.

“They, in their typical way, came up with a completely different thing, which is trying to interpret and reinterpret the agreement,” Churkin said, referring to U.S. officials.

    The Reset button is on Hillary’s phone but it was smashed to pieces with a hammer.

    I hope we didn’t let the Russians see the “Big Board.”

    Besides supporting the Arab Spring Obama’s worst foreign policy decision was not sticking to the red line in Syrian and failing to support the rebels.

    Obama and Kerry constantly get played for fools. Everybody Rick-rolls them.

    What Powell’s line about Hillary? “Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.” A similar thing.

    You used to laugh at my comments about Obama being the enemy. Now you know it’s fucking true.
