In a must-watch interview with the BBC, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says the Obama Administration has protected and supported Al-Nusra in Syria

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov granted the BBC an exclusive 20 minute interview, probably in an attempt to reach out to not-completely brain dead western television viewers.

The questions asked by the sniveling BBC anchor were predictable:

  1. Will you stop murdering babies in Aleppo with cluster munitions and bunker busters?
  2. Will you apologize for bombing the aid convoy?
  3. Will you apologize for shooting down MH-17?
  4. How will Russia survive more sanctions?

True to form, Lavrov very succinctly laid out Russia’s positions on all these « issues ». Oh, and he added a few zingers, like the Obama administration « gave rise and support to Al-Nusra ».

Actually, throughout the interview Lavrov repeatedly points out how the United States has steadfastly refused to distinguish between Al-Nusra and the « moderate rebels », insisting that they’re all moderate and therefore should not be bombed or hurt in any way.

Imagine, that just a week ago the U.S. agreed to weed out the « baddies »; now that the cease-fire has failed, the Pentagon is arming the same groups they vowed to destroy along with Russia. Incredible.

Oh, and here’s the takeaway: Moscow is tired of Washington’s games. Aleppo will be cleansed of Al-Nusra, with or without Washington’s « help ».
