A VERY BIG WAR

Perhaps to cover up being out-manouvred at Geneva last weekend, Sergei Lavrov has thrown the weight of Russia behind Syria by warning or maybe threatening "a very big war".
Moscow lashed out on Thursday at the Western position on Syria, saying it could aggravate the situation to the point of war.

“Their [Western] position is most likely to exacerbate the situation, lead to further violence and ultimately a very big war,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

The West has also distorted the Russian position on Syria by suggesting Moscow should offer Syrian President Bashar al-Assad asylum, he said.
