US urges Turkey to abandon Russian S-400 amid events in Idlib

In the US, they commented on the situation in Syrian Idlib. At the same time, the comment eventually touched upon the issue of Turkey’s purchase of Russian Triumph S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems.

Thus, Kay Bailey Hutchison, the United States Permanent Representative to NATO, stated that “in connection with what is happening in Idlib, Ankara, one should refuse to purchase and deploy Russian S-400 air defense systems.”

Hutchison:

I think Turkish President Recep Erdogan now understands who is a reliable partner for Turkey and who is not. They see what Russia is, what Russians are doing now (in Idlib). They attack the Turkish troops.

According to Hutchison, "this fact should be decisive in relations between Turkey and Russia."

Thus, it should be noted that in the USA they no longer hide their direct interest in pushing Turkey and Russia between their foreheads. It is extremely beneficial for the US that the conflict between the militants and the SAA develop into something more - with greater involvement of Ankara and Moscow.

Recall that earlier in the United States announced "full support for the actions of Turkey."

In a few days, a quadripartite meeting (Russia, Turkey, Germany and France) will be held on the issue of the Syrian province of Idlib.

VO as always late, there in the idlib at least 33 Turks swayed, the Turks today can declare war on Syria.

Yes, and Peskov, yesterday, disavowed the previously announced Erdogan meeting on March 5.
So what about

A four-day meeting will take place in a few days (Russia, Turkey, Germany and France)

- still the grandmother said in two.

[Terenin]

By the way, Turkey does not hold back any "millions" of refugees to the European Union the sultan can tell these stories further.
And in Syria, everything happens as planned and logical. We understand everything. Russia sent there not a team ... chess players

Well, Gennady, it’s in vain, they’ll just put everything in its place like on a chessboard.

a new type of troops - combat chess players. Fine.

[Ros 56]

And why not, if there is an armored Buryat cavalry? It’s quite acceptable.

[Far B]

But Russia has not yet called on Russia to refuse to supply Turkey with these same S-400s (it’s hard to believe for some reason that it’s implanted into this complex), but at the same time also from oil and gas supplies, and from continuing the construction of Akkuyu? No, we are partners ...

[bayard]

The Turks have so far received only one regiment set (2 divisions), the second batch is still in Russia. And of course, until the settlement of Turkish ambitions, there will be no supplies. As there are no Turkish tomatoes. But they began to buy more oil (it fell in price), and that’s good. We will have more money in the treasury, but if we refuse, they will buy from others.
But if we block the straits ... then everything is possible.

[Scipio]

I think Turkish President Recep Erdogan now understands who is a reliable partner for Turkey and who is not.

Directly the most reliable partner of the USA) this is for us with tomatoes, everything is clear!

[Thrifty]

At Erdogad, earlier a meeting with Satan himself will occur when the next large batch of his 200s from Syria will be brought home to Turkey. And then I’m used to fighting with the hands of militants, hiding behind someone else’s backs! No, Sultan, by relics and vegetables! !!

[TatarinSSSR]

While he is fighting himself. And very effective. The losses of the Syrian army are huge at the moment.

[Odysseus]

Damn, no matter what they say, and the Americans about money ...
Meanwhile, there will be no meeting, really serious battles started. Today it will be decided whether Turkey is ready to negotiate or in response to air strikes it will start not a "hybrid", but a real war.

[g1washntwn]

If the Turks get involved in the conflict in a serious way, it will already be called intervention, aggression and illegal invasion. Quite different "tomatoes".

The shortest anecdote "USA is a reliable partner" !!! True, it is not funny, because from "partnership" with USA a mile away it smells like a dead body! Either this is a "residual phenomenon", or confirmation of the fact that the Yankees are the primary messengers of Satan in our world. ..

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Who about what and bald, about a hairbrush.

[ichudov]

I don’t understand what is the point of risking so many things, in which Russia cooperates with Turkey, for the sake of a piece of land called Idlib, which Russia needs like a runny nose. You can lose everything, but what? What Assad will regain some Idlib?

I explain that from a historical and ethnic perspective, Idlib for Turkey is about the same as Donbass for Russia.

[Tzar]

Quote: ichudov

for the sake of a piece of land called Idlib, which Russia needs like a runny nose.

1. Terrorists from all over the CIS hang out on this patch of land, study at training camps and will probably someday return to their native countries with bad intentions.
2. They are constantly shelling adjacent territories controlled by the official government, the Khmeimim airbase, and do not go to any negotiations on a cease-fire.
3. Idlib - a large agricultural province, these lands will be very necessary for the restoration of Syria after the war.

Quote: ichudov

I explain that from a historical and ethnic perspective, Idlib for Turkey is about the same as Donbass for Russia.

There are no terrorists in Donbass, and Russia did not send military convoys to Donbass and did not establish any observation posts. And if now we begin to satisfy the historical and ethnic ambitions of all states, then we will have to redraw half the world.

[TatarinSSSR]

I subscribe to your every word! Finally, then someone knows how to paint everything correctly, and not write stupid urakrakalny squeals.

[Graz]

Quote: ichudov

ichudov

and now tell the same thing about Turkey what they will gain and what they will lose, is it worth it to the Turks?

[Sarmat Sanych]

ichudov, hare to repeat jaded snot, these Goebbels propaganda about "we will lose everything and gain nothing" were thrown in thousands of copies to the population of the front-line regions of the Union. And yes, Idlib has nothing to do with Turkey, the Syrians lived there thousands of years before the Ottoman Empire appeared on the map. Everything is simpler, the process of taming the obstinate Erdogashi is underway, she will understand reality and accept all the conditions of Russia, as it has done dozens of times in the 300 history of Russian-Turkish relations.

When the cannonade in Idlib calms down and the Turks count hundreds of their dead soldiers and private mercenaries, looking bitterly at the iron sky, thousands of curses rush towards Russia.
Russia stood as a stumbling block on the path of the Ottoman Empire, as it had risen more than once in the history of the two powers. But today, she is in her prime and her triumph and power over the World are not yet visible to myopic dictators, blinded by greed and imperial ambitions, and therefore Erdogan still has a hope that the West and NATO will help. 
However, this hope melts uncontrollably with every iron rain flying from the Idlib skies. And to admit that this death for the Turkish mercenaries in Idlib is borne by Russia, for Erdogan it is equal to suicide, because why then did the Sultan personally start many joint projects and concluded with Moscow? Now try to explain to the Turkish plebs, who will rise overnight and sweep away the treacherous power? Therefore, the Sultan is forced to attribute all the bitter defeats of Erdogan on the Idlib front to the Syrian aviation and to write off all his killed on the Syrian army, but secret curses still rush to the North and descend along with the rains and morning cold on the streets of Moscow. 
What remains for Moscow to do? 
The Sultan is trying to take "hostage" all the brightest hopes of the Kremlin for cooperation and for the accomplishment of all joint projects that have already been implemented and are only being implemented.
The most important one that has been completed is two strings of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline, and the one that is underway is the Akkuyu NPP. And that's not counting all the others, smaller ones, including the notorious Turkish tomatoes, dozens of Turkish construction companies on the Russian market, as well as 7-8 million Russian tourists annually. And therefore the Sultan in the struggle for power is forced to lie to his own people, and Moscow is forced to remain silent and reluctantly kill the Turkish janissaries.
Libya is another matter. There is no Moscow there. There is a type of civil revolution where the Americans have already shit and the whole West has shit. And apart from the local, there is none of the "thieves and cool" of this world, for the force of Russian weapons has not yet been canceled. 
These weapons helped General Haftar to squeeze 85% of the territory of Libya, including all oil fields, only a little remained - the ports of transshipment of energy carriers. They are now under the Turks, which means under the West. For Erdogan appeals to the United States, Germany and France for support and help, but they cannot help. It is Erdogan who, due to his limitations, does not understand that Putin has bent the entire "civilized world" with his hypersonic weapons and Poseidon submarine drones, and therefore the West only squeaks powerlessly.  
And what should Erdogan do now? He really wants to close off the Bosphorus, but it is clear that there will be no sense because Iran is ready to help Russia and let ours go to Syria through Iraq, and there in Iraq, the American bases, which seem to be Turkey's allies and should help Erdogan, but will not help, because Iraq rebelled against the American military bases and only with the motto - "We are for peace", they are still trying to hold on there, although they bomb American bases regularly.
It is hard for Moscow to make supplies to Syria through Iran and Iraq if the Bosphorus is closed, and to beat the Turks in Syria, on whom there were so many hopes, is also hard and then there is only one way out. While it is still possible to cover up Russia's successes in Syria with the Syrian army, they will thus be covered. 
But in Libya, there are no obligations. There is no Russia, only PMCs. Moreover, different countries, guess which ones are left? Right. There are only Russian PMCs. And they do not obey Putin. 
And in the port of Tripoli, a Turkish ship with weapons was destroyed, at least 16 Turkish military and 100 mercenaries from Syria were killed in Tripoli. There is nothing to be done - Erdogan, well, he is such a person. I have already forgotten who saved his life during the coup attempt. And therefore, unfortunately, this is the only way to influence Erdogan's worldview, his natural greed and recklessness. 
That is why we are waiting for the Libyan Express in the near future. 
How will it start? 
Maybe very meager reports from Libya about the next victory of General Haftar, or maybe loud reports about the complete destruction of Libyan militants? 
The complete defeat of Erdogan’s ambitions in Libya could very well push the latter towards a reasonable and adequate dialogue on Syria, which the Sultan is still not going to. 
Only after accepting and realizing the inevitable defeat will the Sultan find the right words, as he had once found when he had to apologize to all of Russia for Oleg Peshkov.
Moscow, as the Russians are used to, will silently do its job. Spit on the sultan with his hypertrophied ego. Don't give a damn about Turkish citizens since Ostap Bender. Don't give a damn about everything - we just need both Syria and Libya, and then Palestine with the ultimate sacred "assemblage point" - Jerusalem. 
Then the puzzle will develop, then the omnipotent petrodollar will stagger. 
For oil and the most important areas of its production, including Iraq and today occupied by the States of Saudi Arabia, will already be in the zone of influence of the Russian S-400 and S-500 with Russian combat crews. 
And only in this development of events, only when the meaning is changed and instead of the concept - "oil in exchange for dollars" the whole World will accept the axiom - "oil in exchange for gold", only then Russia will acquire "true Truth and true Freedom".
Only then the whole World will believe the axiom that "Power is in Truth", but behind this truth, Putin's genius will be carefully and purposefully hidden. 
And you can't even imagine how I want it to be hidden, securely and deeply ... Because that's right, let these creatures be afraid.

[TatarinSSSR]

Of course, everything is beautifully written, it's straightforward to read ........ But at the moment, the Syrian military are dying in hundreds under the blows of Turkish troops. The Syrian army, which is already small and weak, is now being destroyed to the delight of the barmaley and the Americans. How is this connected with your text glorifying "Putin's genius"?

[Sarmat Sanych]

TatarinSSSR, why not "millions"? The Turks took the joke of the great Suvorov seriously ("Why should they feel sorry for their bastard - write more"). The Syrians don't have as many people and technology as the Erdogashniki fantasize. But the fact that over the past month several thousand babakhs have been disposed of, plus about 250 Turntsi military men went to the gurias - these are real facts, Turkish IVECOs loaded with bodies have been rolling back since January. The problem is that we are Soviet in consciousness people are both maximalists and all-consuming people, so either we are waiting for a deafening victory right now or we cannot compare what happened a couple of years ago. And in 2015, I will remind Assad controlled only 12% of the SAR, Idlib and Aleppo I do not mention at all, while now more than 80% of the country and over the last month have squeezed out of Idlib from the barmalei, and even the Umerikos, with our participation, have squeezed out 6 military bases and a noble piece of northern Syria ...

Laziness to press letters? So just paste the copied text into the comments on different articles?

Have you compared Donbass to the nest of pro-Turkish and pro-Tatar terrorists in Idlib?
Are you out of your mind my friend?

The confrontation between Russia and Turkey and the United States, Iran with Israel and the United States in Syria only intensify ....
If you believe the media, the Syrian army does not exist: Russian crews of instructor advisers land at the helm of the Syrian air force aircraft.
With the exception of the Russian Federation and Iran, no one in the world considers the Assad regime, guilty of monstrous massacres and crimes against humanity, the legal representative of the Syrian people.
Until the United States, Iran, Russia, Turkey withdraw their troops from Syria and the UN-sponsored elections are held, the war in Syria will not end

[Thrifty]

Alpha - stop talking in clichés about “a monster named Assad, who must leave!” The people of Syria will decide for themselves who owes what to whom!

[Sarmat Sanych]

Stop suffering from infantilism and repeating the worn-out mantra, in Syria there is a legitimate Government, and Assad is a legitimate president, which the UN recognizes. And yes, Assad already controls 80% of the country, freeing the rest is a matter of the near future, regardless of the squeals of the staff. They would have to save their asses in Iraq, otherwise the Iranians have recently significantly reduced the number of mattress mats, but they regretted showing all the cards, although they drive the "hegemon" with rags all over Mesopotamia.

[Cottodraton]

There the civil war has been going on with the filing of the USA, Israel and Turkey since 2010. The massacre was many years before the entry of the Russian military. Stop talking nonsense

[Guillon]

The United States was the first to enter - let the first come out, weak !?

[rocket757]

In a few days, a quadripartite meeting (Russia, Turkey, Germany and France) will be held on the issue of the Syrian province of Idlib.

Will this be the question?
That's about the reliability of yourself, as partners, minke whales can not say anything, everyone is in the know.

[Prisoner]

These striped jackals are right there. Although the situation of our military and diplomats in Syria is worse than the governor’s. Shoot here, don’t shoot there. But somehow, after all, they are raiding. Well done.

[nikolas 83]

Nedosultan sits on two chairs, but may surrender With 400 Americans in exchange for support in Idlib.

[KCA]

Even the most naive person cannot fail to understand that this is an American buzz about the S-400 for a reason, and even more so will not refuse them, because the Americans don’t even claim that the S-400 is worse than the Patriots, they simply say that it’s impossible for the Russian one that it is incompatible with NATO air defense (although the S-300s fit well), you can’t buy from Russia, but they don’t give a single reasonable argument

[g1washntwn]

The Americans quite unequivocally expressed themselves - "This is our cow and we milk it! ", but some" partners "still associate themselves with tigers or with other representatives of the free fauna.

[telobezumnoe]

okay, we bought it from 300, then all NATO and the Jews trained on it how best to overcome it, it was only in their favor, but in the media they shouted this offensive, it can be used for targets and on the ground (which we confirmed a couple of years ago) from 400 the same, they need it, to practice, to clarify its performance characteristics at what distances and what it sees, weak points. like in a children's fairy tale, "just don't throw me into the thorn bush"

[Butchcassidy]

The Greeks need S-300 in order to bring down Turkish planes.
The Turks need the S-400 so that they themselves aren’t outfitted with mattress covers.
And they live like that - a terrarium of like-minded people

[KCA]

And let them train on export options, and as carefully as possible, there will be a surprise when they come under the complexes that are in service in Russia

[Retvizan 8]

... "They see what Russia is like, what the Russians are doing now (in Idlib). They are also attacking Turkish troops."
Ha ha ha! Keyword in Idlib!
And what do Turkish troops do there, doesn’t bother anyone?)))

[1536]

And here are the berries of unfair competition in the technology sphere. The US government dragged the Turks into the war with the Syrians, promised help, and when it came to the conflict with the Russian troops stationed in Syria at the invitation of the local leadership, I would not be surprised that it promised the Turks to "return" the Crimean peninsula to deploy their military bases there. as the Ukrainians, sorry, did not cope with the task. Along the way, all this will mean the rupture of all economic ties between Turkey and Russia, the rejection of existing contracts, etc. Turkey, in deep burnout, as in the XNUMXth century, fulfills the will of others. Where is the sultan? Became overnight the "vizier" "Would you please" at the armchairs of American old men?

[Evgeny Zhukov_2]

Let them refuse oil, Russian gas, tourists. And stop supplying fruits and vegetables ... They will take their construction companies from the vastness of Russia ..
