President Putin has just announced that he will oppose any new efforts by western governments to impose further sanctions on Syria.
In a clear indication that the Russian led peace process will not involve any measures which weaken the legitimate government of Syria, Putin said,

While he faded from view somewhat following his failed bid for the presidency in 2008, McCain remains a very active senator, particularly in regards to the Syrian conflict that has raged on for the better part of six years.

Three perspectives on the Syrian conflict formation
The Syrian conflict formation is hugely more complicated than we’ve been told by Western politicians (all mainstream in spite of democratic features) and mainstream/dependent media.
To some there are only internal aspects and it’s called a civil war only. That’s a necessary but not sufficient aspect.

(REPORT) — Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told nations opposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that the US would not cooperate militarily with Russia until it stopped labeling all Assad’s opponents as terrorists, a Western diplomat said on Friday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be in Washington on February 15, 2017, for an official visit with United States President Donald J. Trump.
On the 7th of February, 2017 Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told Belgian media that their country and the EU merely obey ‘the American master’ when it comes to Syria and political decision-making in general.
Once again Assad shows that he is far from the dictator the western media paints him to be.
What Assad shows is that he is a well educated, well spoken, leader of a sovereign Syria that has undergone a massive and brutal US/EU invasion using Wahhabi jihadist forces masked as “moderate rebels.”
In an exclusive interview with Yahoo News, President Bashar al-Assad has declared his agreement with Donald Trump’s views that an open-door refugee policy can necessarily lead to terrorists coming into a country like the United States.
Assad calmly addressed the interviewer and assured him that “definitely” some of the self-styled refugees are in fact terrorists. The Syrian President went on to say the following,
“Those terrorists in Syria, holding the machine gun or killing people, they (present themselves as)peaceful refugees in Europe or in the West”.
–The Syrian People Want Him
Prior to the conflict which ignited in 2011 when foreign players started to destabilize Syria with armed terrorist groups, Syria was a peaceful, secular, tolerant, prosperous, largely self-sufficient state. In areas controlled by the legitimate government, this is still entirely the case.
