Kerry will do a google hangout with the NYT Kristoff on Tuesday

[JI7]

5. i didn't watch all of the Senate Hearings, but a small part i caught involved

discussion of Russia. i noticed that Kerry seemed to go out of his way to not be so negative towards Russia. he mentioned how there have been many things we have worked with Russia on and their relationship to Syria is more of some economic than some long term alliance or ideological .

and blm has posted about Kerry continuing talks with the russian foreign minister through all of this.

when i caught the first part i mention in the hearings i was wondering about whether they were going to try to pressure russia. russia has always been the key to getting something done in this.

i really do hope this attempt at diplomatic solution to get rid of the chemical weapons works.
