Russian Defense Ministry responded to criticism of the head of the Pentagon

The Russian Defense Ministry responded to the statement by the head of the Pentagon, James Mattis, that the Syrian President with the support of Iran and Russia led his people to a catastrophe. At the same time, Mattis criticized the actions of the Assad government army, as well as the Russian VKS and Iranian units, saying that only the Kurdish forces of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDS) supported by the United States were able to defeat the ISIL grouping banned in Russia.

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov, commenting on Mattis, said that it was the criminal inaction of the United States and the coalition led by them that led to the expansion of the Islamic State terrorist group (banned in the Russian Federation) to Syria. It was thanks to the US that the militants quickly gained control over the oil-bearing regions of Syria and the influx of huge sums of money from the sale of this oil. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation was reminded that it was the United States that had a hand in the emergence of ISIS, and this is not disputed by anyone. The invasion of American troops into Iraqi territory under the false pretext of the presence in Iraq of a chemical weapons and led to the creation of a terrorist organization.

In addition, Konashenkov recalled that much of the weapons supplied by the United States to the alleged opposition in Syria were in the hands of the militants of the Dzhebkhat al-Nusra and Islamic State banned in the Russian Federation because the United States had been pouring in all this time "hundreds of millions of dollars in a non-existent" Syrian opposition. " The weapons were supplied to those terrorist groups, which, like the United States, had as their goal the overthrow of the regime of the legitimate president of Syria, Bashar Assad.

Konashenkov also advised the US Secretary of Defense to carefully study the map of Syria to make sure that all the centers of resistance of terrorist groups are located in areas controlled by the US and the "international" coalition.

At the same time, noted in the Ministry of Defense, the United States has not invested a dollar in the restoration of the destroyed areas of Syria, liberated from the militants and located in the territory controlled by the legitimate government. Apparently they have no money for this ...

... Konashenkov advised the US Secretary of Defense to carefully study the map of Syria to make sure ...

Having assured themselves of their own greatness, geldings do not strain your brain by studying geography.
The interest of the "democratizer" in the catastrophic consequences of their activities - the whole world is in ruins, and happiness is beyond the puddle.

[siberalt]

I wonder who Konashenkov is talking to, and even more interesting who hears.

[Vard]

Unfortunately, you are right ... So no one will hear Konashenko ... He needs to say something at a press conference ... I just announced ... well, for example, Qatar is illegal ... the planes are already in the air ... I assure you you ... everyone will hear this news!

[andron-30]

this is exactly the point.

who hears it.

It is much more interesting to see not the one who is listening ...

Why are there many allies, but the enemy is always one?

Konashenkov also advised the US Secretary of Defense to carefully study the map of Syria to make sure that all centers of resistance of terrorist groups are located in areas controlled by the US and the "international" coalition. --- This suggests that Russia is for peace, and the United States, for the war!

[andron-30]

is this a discovery for you? Congratulations .

[KVU-NSVD]

It is said correctly, but only those who want to hear it, and to those who are addressed to it like peas against a wall ... However, this did not start yesterday and will end tomorrow. The main thing is to do what should and must not concede under this pressure ..

[rpuropuu]

all centers of resistance of terrorist groups are in areas controlled by the US and the "international" coalition

By the way, yes, the argument

Mzttis ... stating ... that only the Kurdish formations of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDS), supported by the United States, were able to defeat ISIS banned in Russia in a bitter struggle

Better tell me what's up with Afghanistan? They say today \ yesterday 17 soldiers died at the hands of the Taliban, and the USA have been fighting with them for 17 years

[Alexey-74]

Well, in general there is nothing new, as always we are poured with mud, as always we kick back .........

[mari.inet]

An honest person, for whom honesty and honor are inseparable, will not throw mud at his opponent, even his opponent. And the fact that Russia is not in a hurry to blame the West is not looking for dirt to splash in the overseas direction, speaks of Russian nobility.
Well, the United States and its military ranks have slipped to the level of bazaar women, when gossip and dirt become the only meaning of existence.

[Chicha squad]

Konashenkov is a true general, a professional in his field

[Charik]

this is the uncle’s left hand

[seacap]

Mattis is quoted by all world media, heard on all continents and countries, all news channels, and Konashenkov exclusively for personal "consumption" and a very narrow, well, very narrow circle of people, that’s the whole difference, respectively, and this attitude to overseas partners as Power No. 1, and to us, so-so, something can. Against this background, the passivity and slurred actions of our respective services and ministries are incomprehensible. An active war is being waged against us, and today we are not playing in a dull, non-initiative defense, in white gloves, this is a deliberate defeat.

[mari.inet]

Well, Putin plays in white gloves. And he's doing pretty well. China likes it.
And Trump is playing without rules. And where is Trump now? He sits with his Zhi7 by the fire, warms his legs, hopes that Europe will agree to its own strangulation.

Again, oil and oil-bearing areas. The experience of the Wagner group again does not teach anything ... Why should the MO "head" break about oil-bearing areas? I don’t have my own ...

[V]

As you know, the Middle East is a US gas station, and Syrian oil would be very useful for the Americans. I tore the country to pieces, put on every piece of the local "baron" and in exchange for weapons, food and medicine pump out as much oil as you like. Profit

[rruvim]

Well, what do we have to do with it? We have proven reserves only in Siberia for 100 years. Why is Konashenkov worried about the oil districts inherited by the “Washington puppets”?

Only in good fairy tales does good conquer evil, in reality everything is somewhat sadder. It’s too early to draw conclusions, the game has just begun and for the overseas uncle in reality not everything is as sad as it looks from the outside and is presented, it also solves its tasks very successfully, relying on the enormous economic and military potential, incl. it’s too early to jump from joy and not everything is so rosy, because if you look back, then American tanks stand at our borders and several hundred kilometers from the capital, and not ours in Mexico and Canada in the daily passage from Washington. Europe is too dependent on the states, they will lie and calm down otherwise they will get it completely and seriously. And we, because of the betrayal of the elites, are too weak and dependent, apart from nuclear potential, we have no real power and the measures for influencing global decisions are not great, robbery and weakening of the country still coming

[Snail N9]

And why doesn’t Konashenkoff say directly that the United States, Israel and the Saudis unleashed a civil war in Syria, finance and supply ISIS and other terrorist groups in Syria, why doesn’t it say that Russia, from such and such a time, considers all of these countries of the accomplices of the terrorists behind the plans for the dismemberment of Syria and the creation of terrorist enclaves on its territory?

[rruvim]

Are these enclaves of terrorism another question? For example, Israel and its US ally believe that Russia is an accomplice to terrorists. Therefore, it "warmed" in Syria the regular and irregular groups of the IRGC and other "pro-Iranian terrorists." So that the charges are mutual.

[Snail N9]

The question is not who is “more right”, the question is why, if you consider someone “wrong”, “liar”, etc. you do not call him “wrong” and “others”, but continue to carry nonsense about then the "unknown", "impersonal" and "unnamed" "aliens" ...

[Charik]

it has long been said and turkey including

[net0103net]

Wow, the stupid man is what this General Mattis is, or whatever his name is. ! )))
And on our portal, AutoCorrect works, because a "stupid person" is very soft in this particular case! ) Initially, I wrote a lot easier and more accurate! )) But I will not fix it))

[net0103net]

Konashenkov answered well.

[Ros 56]

Although he is mad, he is still a dog. And from his bark we are neither cold nor hot. The dog barks, and the Russians do their own.

[Evil 55]

Well, not bad ... The Russian general raped the US Secretary of Defense ...

[Wolf47525]

Good nonsense. Thank.
