Webster Tarpley : Russia will not cave into US over Syria

An analyst says the fact that Russia has stood firmly against the US drive to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power has made Washington unable in imposing its will regarding the issue. The comment comes as Moscow's call for taking into account Assad's three-step plan comes in the face of opposition from the United States and Britain, who dismissed the initiative and insisted that Assad should stand down. On Friday, UN-Arab League Special Envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi wrapped up talks in Geneva with US and Russian representatives, during which he again rejected all calls for a military solution to the Syria crisis. "We stressed again that in our view, there was no military solution to this conflict," Brahimi said on Friday after meetings with US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov at the United Nations European headquarters. Press TV has conducted an interview with author and historian Webster Griffin Tarpley from Washington to further discuss the issue.
