John Kerry launches blistering attack on Russia at UN

John Kerry took the UN floor during the United Nations General Assembly and berated his Russian counterpart for actions taken by Russian forces in Syria. Russian aircraft engaged what they thought was either an ISIS or rebel convoy, it turns out the convoy was actually an aid convoy attempting ti deliver necessary aid to the people of Syria. This comes during a very heated moment in the Syrian conflict as the most recent cease fire beings to crumble. The Russians did not claim the bombing instead tried to pass it off with excuses my favorite being spontaneous combustion. This eventt further puts strain on the fragile environment that is Syria as well as places an even greater strain on the relations between the United States and Russia.
