RIA News:
They (a coalition led by the United States) are using for their own purposes the forces of international terrorism and extremism. As an example, I will give Iraq and Syria. For a long time, the most powerful coalition grouping of more than thirty militarily advanced states led by the United States could not cope with the militants, and the territories controlled by ISIL (* banned in the Russian Federation) only expanded. Apparently, the goal was different - to loosen the situation in the region, to consolidate in it its military and economic presence.
Recall: in the United States they declare that in the SAR "ISIS * is about to win," but at the same time they add that they are ready to withstand the growth of Iran’s military presence. That is, the reason to stay has already been found. Moreover, French President Macron has already appealed to Trump so that he would not withdraw the American contingent from Syria.
