The Western press is discussing the consequences of a possible withdrawal of US troops from Syria

The representative of the London-based think tank Chatham House believes that the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan exposes many questions, and among them the possible withdrawal of the armed contingent from Syria was noted. According to him, some Arab states are taking this into account and are already beginning to form plans for interaction with the government of President Bashar al-Assad.

The White House hardly mentions the importance of Syria in Washington's foreign policy, and the Gulf countries, in turn, are trying to return the state to the Arab world and develop business relations with the Syrian authorities.

- the author writes.

So Muscat did not interrupt diplomatic relations with Damascus, and Abu Dhabi in 2018 reopened the embassy in the Syrian capital.

The Chatham House author believes that states like Oman, the UAE, Bahrain and Jordan will not pour funds into a country that has become one of the topics of discussion at the world level for ten years and where the fighting still does not subside if they are not sure of achieving them. political goals.

The author also explains that despite the personal hostility of Saudi Arabian leaders to B. Assad, intelligence officers cooperate with the intelligence structures of Syria in order to exchange relevant data in the fight against common threats. For the Saudis, building relations with the Syrian authorities is necessary in order to put pressure on Iran's positions in the Middle East, and not to legitimize the Syrian president.

Qatar and Kuwait show no interest in establishing communication channels to improve cooperation with Syria

- emphasizes the author.

According to a representative of Chatham House, the existing probability of Joe Biden's deal with Vladimir Putin to form a transitional government in Syria, which will consist of representatives of civil society, the current leadership and opposition forces, looks quite viable, besides, it suits most of the countries of the Arab world to normalize relations with Damascus.

Nooooo, sixes will now praise him. It is the retinue that makes the king. Nobody wants to admit that he is a donkey!

How to get out of Syria? Where to? What will a USA soldier do? Here we urgently need to unleash a small victorious war. The precedent is not a problem. Well the image must be corrected. To cut the budget.

It was no less viable a year or two or even six years ago. Even during the times of popular protests and before the arrival of assorted bandits and their seizure of vast territories in Syria. Bashar al-Assad could have lived in a villa for a long time, somewhere in a warm country, as has happened more than once with the failed rulers expelled from their countries ...
It's another matter that today, after so many years, hundreds of thousands of victims, millions of refugees, billions of dollars in costs, the world may have become a little smarter. It's hard to believe, but I really want to be an optimist.

But what about oil? That in the United States threw free oil! Here, they will rather impeach Biden, or they will shoot nafig so that he does not get confused under his feet.

There can be only one agreement between Russia and the United States on Syria - the Americans withdraw the occupying troops and stop plundering Syrian natural resources. On the military side, certain agreements exist and are in effect.

The United States will withdraw its troops from Syria only if it incurs casualties and profit from oil costs less. Beat striped and oil production.

I am afraid that the striped teeth will cling to Syria with their teeth, the Afghan shame was enough for them, if we add Iraq and Syria, then the "hegemon" is a complete crap.

The East will remain so because of its incomprehensibility to Europeans and the rest of the world, and even more so with the corrupt, treacherous behavior of the Anglo-Saxons wherever they are. The only country that is capable of disinterestedly resolving disputes in the Middle East and, in particular, the relationship of Syria with the rest of the Arab world is Russia. But this is opposed in every possible way with their vile and selfish policy of the Anglo-Saxons and the groveling Europe led by them ..

[Sergey Sfiedu]

The only country able to disinterestedly resolve disputes in the Middle East

Those. the Russian people should unselfishly pay (both financially and with the lives of their soldiers) for the endless bickering of the Arabs among themselves? And we need it, is it disinterestedness?

But what about "Assad must leave"?

The transitional government implies the resignation of Assad.

[Siberian54]

Until the occupation forces leave the territory of Syria, Assad is not threatened by a deal behind his back. In addition, the Foreign Ministry will not spoil its position with an outright scammer.
