Lavrov saying US wants to wreck Syria deal.

On Sunday Lavrov accused Washington of trying to sabotage the deal with Syria, doing so would allow them to take military action against Syria. “Our U.S. partners are beginning to blackmail us," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Sunday in an interview with the First Channel, a state-owned television network. He charged that the United States was threatening to "fold up the work" toward securing the chemical weapons if Russia won't back a United Nations Security Council resolution based on Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which allows the use of force against nations that threaten international peace. Basically the US is saying they will agree to the deal if they can use aggressive force on Syria. This is absolute stupidity and frankly desperation, Washington's rush full need to take military action on Syria was never to "punish" Assad it was clearly because they want to Syria to be completely destabilized. Lavrov said. “Our partners are now blinded by the ideological task to replace the regime because they said a couple of years back that President Assad has no place on this Earth and he must go.” Lavrov further charged that the United States and its allies are not seeking a peaceful solution in Syria but trying instead to sabotage the plan for Syria to abandon its chemical stockpiles because “they want to prove that they will be ordering the music in the Middle East.” Washington, you no longer call the shots in the Middle East. In fact the reason you want to take military action is to prove in some sick way that you control Syria and Iran even if they have said no to the West time and time again. Lisa.
