Russia left Syria to stay for long

42
Interesting things happen today in the interpretation of events. Not those who were once again today "rethought." And those whom we all witnessed. Witnesses and participants. One of these events is the withdrawal of the Russian military from Syria.





On the one hand, we see the joyful faces of soldiers and officers. Joyful from the consciousness of the significance of what they have done. From the assessment of the country's leadership, the assessment of the people of the country, the assessment of their own family The Russian army has done a good job. Completed the tasks set by the command. And in Syria, the happy faces of the residents who were able to return home after many years.

On the other hand, estimates by Western military experts and analysts. On the other hand, articles in some of our media. Terrorists broke coalition. Russia has done a lot less. All Russia's victories are nothing more than PR. And the withdrawal of troops is nothing more than capitulation. Events in Syria are just beginning. And the main violin in Syrian affairs will be played by the United States.

I absolutely do not want to argue on this issue. An understanding of simple truth has long been born in the country. You can not make a person happy. You can help with some issues. You can get rid of evil. But a happy person will not do it. Happiness is obtained by everyone on their own.

Russia is doing the same in the situation with Syria. We helped break the enemy. We saved people. But the rest is up to the Syrians themselves.

Naturally, no one hides this, Russia for its assistance has received some advantages over other countries. This and some economic benefits. Any political. But we are interested, in this context, purely military. The Russian army left Syria, but ... The Russian army remained in Syria. We got two bases on the Syrian territory for rent for 49 years. The base of the Navy in Tartus and Hmeimim airbase.

Again, it’s not worth talking about both of these bases. Let's talk about the future naval base in Tartus. Why the future? Yes, simply because what is in Tartus today is nothing more than a logistics point. With the corresponding status and territory. And, having received the consent of the Syrian government and having ratified the agreement, we will now increase the territory of the site, build the infrastructure and create a full-fledged base of the Navy.

Regarding the significance of this base, Admiral Viktor Kravchenko, the former NSH of the Russian Navy, said well: "The base assumes decent territory, all types of guards and defenses, ships call before the first rank cruisers. They will be able to replenish their stocks, and let their personnel rest."

Naturally, it is necessary to slightly open the veil of secrecy over the events that occur at this point. Explain what Admiral Kravchenko meant.

Today, the base in Tartus is already completely covered by air defense. In this area is the C-300B4 battery. Coast cover coastal complexes "Bastion". Thus, ships that are even in the coastal zone are protected quite reliably. The availability of these funds is known to Western "partners". What discourages any desire to check the Russian sailors on the "subtlety of the intestine."

What needs to be done "already yesterday"? First of all, it is necessary to broaden and deepen the fairway. With the existing fairway, the entry of cruisers of the first rank into the port is impossible. Therefore it is necessary to use a large number of auxiliary vessels for the supply of such ships.

The next or parallel step will be the construction of at least two more new piers. Naturally, for ships with a large displacement. For today the task is not to make the base convenient for any ships. Alas, the big ships will supply according to the current scheme ...

Well, the last, or, again, most likely, a parallel task is the creation of normal living conditions for the life of base staff and crews of ships. Simply put, we will build houses and other necessary premises for a normal life.

В stories contemporary Russian fleet there were no such bases. And in the USSR, such a base was only in Vietnam. It is significant that the appearance of this base radically changes the situation in the Mediterranean. The dominance of the American Navy in this region is coming to an end. But, to be precise to the end, the base in Tartus will help our ships and some other water areas to get comfortable. Where we were guests, our ships will be able to be on a permanent basis.

No matter how much the same Americans want to belittle the role of our fleet and army in solving some issues, their memory is good. And an understanding of the power of Russian ships, too. Remember about the Russian capabilities in military affairs, which we demonstrated during the fighting in Syria. "We can all" is no longer relevant. You can exactly as much as allowed. Including the Russian fleet.

I’m not afraid to be a patriotic cheer, saying that today Russian ships are again becoming the guarantor of peace in the region. Russia in reality becomes a stopper for the lawlessness of the United States.

Well, the last. Today, voices are being heard from our fellow citizens offended by the whole world with gloomy predictions of the future. We will build the base again. We will invest a lot of money. And then we will be expelled. As it was more than once. Answer is a must.

So, not only the leadership of Syria, but also other countries in the region, is well aware that the presence of Russian troops on an ongoing basis is a guarantee of peace in the region. I'm not talking about the big war. Talking about those groups that until recently could not only rob and destroy civilians by hundreds, but also destroy entire states. The understanding of this among the Arabs came through a lot of blood. But it is. And this is the best guarantee for us.

On the whole, Russia, by its operation in Syria, really changed the balance of political and military forces in the region. And even Trump's provocative statement about Jerusalem after an explosion of emotions among Israel’s opponents, by and large, did not unleash a new war. We really won. And in the near future we will enjoy the fruits of this victory.

A wolf howl from across the ocean and from Europe is familiar to us. Like singing snow with a decent frost. Crunch-crunch-crunch ...

    Once in Spain, in 1936, our bombers flew unaccompanied by fighters. They were faster, much higher than the most modern British and German fighters used by General Franco. Does this not remind us of the actions of our videoconferencing ?? But by 1941 they were out of date. The West, which was economically stronger, could easily arrange the release of other, more technological models. Of course, the availability of bases is encouraging, but not less, but even more depends on the strength of the economy.

      Not everything was so beneficial for our SBs, as you describe. The first combat flight in Spain they made on October 28, 1936, and already on November 2 a single SB of the 2nd squadron was sent to reconnaissance of enemy airfields. In the Talavera area, the aircraft was attacked by a pair of Fiat patrolling 1000 meters higher. As a result, the plane was shot down. The crew of P.P. Petrov, navigator A.F. Vlasov and arrow-radio operator N.P. Tsiguleva died.
      In total, in the first 15 days of operations, Group 12, according to military adviser to the brigade commander Alekseev, lost 8 vehicles (2 in combat and 6 in accidents and disasters). During this period, mainly Soviet pilots flew to the SB.

    Unfortunately, all this can be very short-lived. After the Chekist some sort of regular Gorbachev will come and write-gone. We will reconcile again, we will bring everything out and everywhere and forget about the former military power. Already passed it. And our supreme is not eternal, and the continuity of power raises questions. But in general, our honor and glory to the soldiers and officers who fought in Syria.

    We will build the base again. We will invest a lot of money. And then we will be kicked out. As it was more than once.

    And so it will be. Assad should be removed (and he will be removed, no doubt) and Russia will not have a place in Syria. Americans and Israelis need a fragmentation of Syria, which they will spend over time, and then the United States will already establish relations with the newly formed states as they become "useful." Now Syria is uninteresting for the United States and its allies - they no longer consider it a state and therefore are not going to "invest" in it. That's when it falls apart into enclaves, then another thing. The Russians, on the other hand, believe that Syria will survive as a mono-state, and are already beginning to conclude some kind of contracts with this state there, to help it with weapons, etc. What do you think Syria will pay for all this? If you have nothing to pay? She will pay by "promises" and "preferences." But what are they worth? Nothing, any contract with Syria now can not be short-term due to the complete destruction of the country, you will start to do one thing, and then it turns out that you still need to do this and that, restore the infrastructure, build logistics, etc. And Russia will have to spend its money on this, spend and spend and get nothing in return, except for smiles and a friendly pat on the shoulder- "Well done Ivan! Thank you!" Does Russia have so much money? No. Funds taken from Russian citizens will go to restore Syria. This means that the Russian government will have to figure out how to ease the pockets of its citizens and this will contribute to more tension in Russian society, which again is in the hands of the same Americans. Something like this...

    Everything is fine in the article, and it's true. In that part that is good to hear. We could stop here, but in this barrel of honey there is an elusive presence of tar, namely:
    1. This is the third final victory over ISIS, after the first slippers took Palmyra back.
    2. This is the second withdrawal of troops.
    3. Shortly before the withdrawal (about a month), an epic fake slipped from OUR MO (NOT the Pentagon) with a video clip from a computer game issued as an evacuated ISIS.
    4. Even earlier they showed the crossing through the Euphrates. Qualitatively, powerful, as in large exercises. And silence. What happened to the crossing, that they agreed with the ferrymen or again about something?
    5. The base of the Navy, which will be - it is already there, and what and how they are building with us - see Vostochny Cosmodrome. Do we have ships for this base? According to reports, our fleet consists of Varshavyanka and Admiral Essen. Well, the Caspian flotilla, which will not go to Tartus.
    In general, everything is sad somehow. It seems that everything is very bad, but we smile with all our strength so as not to cry. I ask you to understand correctly - I’m not a white puppy and I’m not at all happy or looking for it. This is what everyone sees. Who does not look through his fingers.

    So, not only the leadership of Syria, but also other countries in the region, understands perfectly well that the presence of Russian troops on an ongoing basis is a guarantee of peace in the region.

    The presence or absence of desire in the United States is the cause or not of terrorist groups.
    And the preservation or absence of peace.
    And then the author does not understand common truths.

    And the fact that we have people with the opinion that the author called “gloomy” is not surprising.
    The reasons are full.
    They liberated Bulgaria twice. They liberated Poland, Czechoslovakia, etc. So what? Waited for thanks? Under the occupation of the Nazis, they lived more free than under the fraternal USSR? It turns out like this.

    And the memory of the people is not eternal.
    Especially when students of Harvard projects begin to remodel it.
    Ukraine is not much closer. So what? Russian occupiers.
    And then the Syrians! Forget and shove.

    The base in Tartus is awesome.
    Only have a question.
    And the course of our state in 10-15 years will remain the same?
    And if the liberals come to power again?
    And they will start to blow into our ears that the Americans and NATO are quiet and peaceful guys. There were just temporary omissions.
    And in order to get better (there was no interest in understanding in the plan) you give the 90s. Again. To consolidate the past.
    And where is that Tartus, when again the officers of the Armed Forces will go to the wipers?

    State policy is determined not by a person, but by a party that has the support of a certain category of citizens. Which defines its strategy openly.
    And the strategy does not change after the leader leaves.
    Then the population understands why this is done. And he understands that it will not come out sideways later.
    And we have?
    Now let the author reflect on this.
    And then Tartus, C300, etc.

    Preferences and benefits of certain business structures from Russia - what is this? Reason for popular rejoicing?
    Where will the dividends go?
    To the budget of the Russian Federation?

    Dogs bark, and the caravan moves on. To consider GDP short-sighted and indecisive, in my opinion, is reckless. 17 years in the politics of GDP does not prove anything to anyone, but does the job. And he will do another 6 years. I believe that Syria is only one link in the Russian chain of geopolitical dominance. First there was Crimea (let the English thinkers choke on saliva). Now we control the Black Sea, including the Straits. The Syrian express confirmation of this, in Ankara, especially after the July events of 2016, this does not prevent. Without Crimea, there would be no Syrian company. It was impossible to provide uninterrupted supply to the Russian group in any other way. In Syria, our army did not burn dollars, but first burned out the infrastructure of ISIS (thousands of fuel trucks, including Erdoganov’s, confirmation of this). There is only one no-fly zone in Syria - ours. Let the English thinkers think anything. The indisputable result of the Syrian company was the ousting of key players from the region: the US and Israel. Now, Russia, Iran and, having changed its shoes on the fly, Turkey are “solving issues” here. Kurds cannot be independent forces by definition. US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel -
    US desire to destabilize the region, make a good face with a bad game. No more. The next stage is a military and political rapprochement with Egypt and Libya. Why is all this for Russia?

    The basic law of geopolitics is as follows (in close approximation): the one who controls the means of communication must control the area adjacent to them, in the ways that this control was obtained. Syria is mainly not its energy sources, but the geographical location of the country. The one who controls the territory of the country controls the traffic of energy resources from the Middle East to Europe - the main consumer of these energy resources. To do this, we created two bases there (Tartus and Khmeinim). I suppose for a long time. Assad sooner or later (six years will definitely be president) will leave. But something tells me that his successor will not be against our military presence in Syria. Strategic Rocket Forces of the Russian Federation to guarantee ...

      jhltyjyjctw - of course, expecting that we have already achieved everything in Syria is early. Assad is unlikely to leave soon, and what kind of alignment of political forces after his departure is difficult to imagine, but this needs to be worked on. Given the great experience of the United States in pushing its henchmen into power structures, there is a danger that military victories may be disavowed by a change in the political elite, and therefore the political course. But this is the Middle East - and here the power is changing, along with political preferences very quickly, but Russia now has a lot of weight in this region and the situation is still mostly favorable.
