The Obama administration has set about redrawing its relationship with Russia amid this weeks diplomatic breakdown over Syria, taking on one of its most complex foreign-policy challenges just three months before a new president takes office.

Now already scrabbling to find a way to renew talks because gee. what is the alternative? D’oh. Maybe someone shoulda thought of that ...
ISIS and jihadis...bad.
Assad.... about 20% as bad.
Guess which one we support.
Jeez... now tell me again what we were hearing, what, about 22 hours ago?
Depends on whether one receives news from the Kremlin, I suppose.
Are you suggesting we are supporting Assad?
When did we declare war of Syria, again?
He and obozo acted like spoiled brats so now they’re going to go back to the Russians and grovel after they had their bluff called....
Apparently in an alternate universe somewhere, It's what you get for screwing around with time travel to revise history.
Supposedly, Obama and Kerry would no longer negotiate with or talk to the Russians, because they refused to interfere with Assad's current campaign to capture terrorist insurrectionists hiding among civilians, in their primary stronghold of Aleppo.
