U.S. breaks off diplomatic talks with Russia to end bloodshed in Syria
The Obama administration made good on an ultimatum Monday and withdrew its cooperation with Russia over Syria, while Moscow suspended a key nuclear weapons treaty it had signed with Washington more than a decade ago.
With the two governments signaling their anger at each other, U.S.-Russia ties hit one of their lowest points since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.
Exasperated over relentless Russian and Syrian airstrikes on the battered city of Aleppo, Washington announced it was breaking off bilateral talks with Russia over Syria's fate and canceling plans to share military intelligence and operations-related information with Moscow.
"This is not a decision that was taken lightly," State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.....

Israelis and Palestinians have a bloody history. Where is there any similar history between Russia and the USA? Cold war hate propaganda does not form an equivalence with a bloody history. The current hate propaganda about Aleppo doesn't either.

During 1919-1920 the USA sent troops to northern Russia to aid the "White Army" or the Republicans that was fighting the "Red Army" of the Communist in the center of the country and the "Black Army" of the Anarchists fighting in the southern area.
Lenin. Trotsky and Stalin to name a few leaders never forgot nor forgave those actions by the UK and USA. Russia is nearly the only country in Europe where American military personnel came under arms but did not succeed in dominating the country for a generation or more. I don't know how Putin feels about it, but I doubt he has warm fuzzy feelings towards the USA.
we have Russia surrounded with our military bases.

The yard of the American rooster is about six times larger than that of Russian rooster and it is feeling threatened by the shrinkage and thinks it can stave it off by attacking the other rooster and grabbing his turf.
