THE TSAR REACHES OUT TO TURKEY...WELL.. .. NOT REALLY!!!! 

Nothing has changed for the Tsar and the Russian Kingdom.

The desire is to keep Assad in power, at least as long as it take to find an alternative that will still " work" with the Russians.

I did find it somewhat amuzing last week when the rebels and the Russians had the same opinion of the US's new requirements for rebel leadership.

These are the same Russians the rebels despise for backing Assad, yet they both lash out at the US for the latest "idea" from the West / US.

Now, it's clear one of the overarching issues for the Russians is to not so damage relationships with Turkey that the price of saving it's relationship with Syria ruins the one with Turkey.

Oh by the way, the two of them have something far more important incommon than Syria and Assad..... .fuel!!!

As for this "Three-member group" concept; well it's nice to see the Russians can get stuck on a deadened theory just as bad as the West.

 I'm not sure Erdogan really believes there is any value in this " three-group" idea, but it does give him a little wiggle room with the Tsar.

So, is this concept going anywhere?

No!!!

Does the Tsar and Erdogan know that?

Yep!!

Does that make it a waste of time?

Well, in the world of international diplomacy, one often doesn't really have to make progress; one simply has to look as if they are trying to do so!
