Any military or intelligence cooperation between the US and Russia to strike targets in Syria would include measures to ensure US operational security and would not be based on trust, Reuters reported on Monday, citing a top US military official.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said on July 22 that he is going to discuss an American proposal for closer military cooperation and intelligence sharing on Syria at the meeting with his Russian counterpart, which will be held in the coming days.

The proposal includes ways in which the US and Russia would prohibit the Syrian air force from attacking moderate rebel groups and share intelligence to coordinate air strikes against the al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front.

Top American military and intelligence officials have met the proposal with deep skepticism.

“We are not entering into a transaction that is founded on trust,” the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine General Joseph Dunford said during a news conference with US Defense Secretary Ash Carter.

“There will be specific procedures and processes in any transaction we might have with the Russians that will account for protecting our operational security.”

According to Carter, the basis of the negotiations that Kerry is having with the Russians is “mutual interest to the extent and when and as we are able to identify that with the Russians.”

According to many US officials, sharing intelligence with Russia could risk revealing US intelligence sources, capabilities and methods.

Russia warns NATO-Turkey about the peoples revolution against NATO.
Then Russia warns the SAS in Syria who support radicals against the Democracy in Syria before they bomb the hotbed of terrorist.
“Russia” must stand for “Cuckold” considering they are cuckolded by NATO and Mi6 completely.
Russia is turning into an obvious desperate bitch of the UK and NATO.
Russia is just going to stay on their knees servicing the UK-Empire till they get a real leader with balls who will take down NATO through Proxy and Coups and listening better to the peoples demands of the West.
Till this day, Putin will continue to service international-Banking and his Queen master of England.
Putin is obviously just as much apart of globalism under the Bilderberg group as the Dictator of the UK-Empire is and Obama.
We The People across the world have been betrayed by the Queen, Bush, Erdoğan, Putin and others.
They are all in on this together for a single global empire.
