Jeffrey Feltman: "Russia's interests will sink with the Assad-Makhlouf Titanic!"

"JEFFREY FELTMAN: We don't know for sure when the tipping point, the breaking point, will come in Syria but it will come.The demise of the Assad regime is inevitable. It is important that the tipping point for the regime be reached quickly because the longer the regime assaults the Syrian people, the greater the chances of all-out war in a failed state.
JILL COLGAN: Assistant Secretary Feltman appealed for every possible pressure on Russia and China to stop blocking action by the UN Security Council to oust the al-Assad regime.
JEFFREY FELTMAN: We think it is time for the Security Council to act. We think it is past time for the Security Council to act.This is the type of situation in Syria that deserves Security Council action so we are still in discussion with the Russians in an attempt to persuade them they can be part of a solution. They can use their influence inside Syria to be part of a solution rather than continue to block.
JILL COLGAN: He says Russia's ongoing shipments of arms to the Syrian government will only prolong a regime that should fall.
JEFFREY FELTMAN: Russia is not going to preserve those interests that Russia deems to be important if it basically rides the Assad-Makhlouf Titanic all the way to the bottom of the Mediterranean...."
