the wrong message and by that message they have undermined prospects for political consultations and mosco or elsewhere and this is how we will continue to see clashes in syria we will see blood we will see casualties weak teams unfortunately it will continue to happen not due to the russian position but due to the position very unilateral very very unfair position taken by the united states and their allies. i know we have been asking you what you think about the situation in syria and whether peace is at all plausible or you can vote on the poll on our worldwide web site right now r.t. dot com let's bring up the numbers here so far almost half of people leave a peaceful agreement is impossible because the west is determined to control syria a little over a thing that such a possibility exists thanks to russia's determination to avert a libyan style scenario thirteen percent agree outside support for the rebels makes war in ever divil a minority believe the syrian government will defend itself. a u.s. plan to increase its military presence in the philippines is causing uproar china's stat
