Syrian Middle Eastern knot

A restraining factor in the exacerbation of the situation throughout the Middle East is the "Syrian equilibrium"

The weekly "MIC" has repeatedly referred to the events in the Middle East, in particular in the articles "If Ankara Angry ...", "Six Arab Monarchies Against Iran", "Syria: Intervention Is Eliminated" (No. 30, 2012). However, the situation in this region is constantly changing, as there are many hot spots here. But the Syrian question remains the most acute. The tenacity of Assad, the relative neutrality of the United States, the rejection by Russia and China of the forceful way of resolving the crisis preserve for an indefinite time the situation in Syria, which is closely watched by the West, Turkey, Israel and the Sunni monarchies. Decisive actions in this direction of one of the parties can be a catalyst for the exacerbation of the situation throughout the Middle East.

In the civil war in Syria, there has been a new turn. The Syrian opposition at a meeting in the capital of Qatar - Doha announced the unification under the auspices of the specially created for this Syrian National Coalition (SNK). After lengthy persuasion, the Syrian National Council (SNC) also joined the CPC, which for a long time sought to present itself as a spokesman for the interests of the entire opposition. In fact, the SNA consisted almost exclusively of emigrants, almost forgotten in their homeland. Under pressure from the West and the Arab monarchies, they agreed to enter the SNK. It is believed that the coalition united at least 80 percent of the forces fighting against Bashar al-Assad, or rather, its leadership wants to think so. The Islamic radicals, who form the basis of the rebel forces, immediately declared that they did not intend to submit to the CPC, but wanted to create an Islamic state on part of Syria.

Nevertheless, the external forces behind the Syrian opposition now have a formal opportunity to repeat the Libyan option, declaring the CPC to be the “legitimate government” of Syria to begin with. True, the Arab League has so far not gone so far, recognizing the coalition as the legal spokesman of the interests of the opposition. But all six monarchies - members of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) said that the SNK is the legitimate force representing the Syrian people. Soon, France joined them. Paris (still under the former president Sarkozy) was also the first to recognize the Libyan opposition. And it was France that was the start of hostilities against Gadhafi’s troops, having drawn other NATO countries into the war.

True, this time it is unlikely to succeed. From France “Rafali” and “Mirages” will not reach Syria, and it’s unlikely that they will venture to send their only aircraft carrier Francois Hollande to the Syrian coast. All carrier aviation France today includes only 23 Rafale M F3 aircraft (another 9 Rafale M F1 are in storage pending modernization to version F3) and from 30 to 40 extremely obsolete Super Etandars. This is too little to fully combat the Syrian air force and air defense. Moreover, for the Etandars, even the MiG-21 poses a mortal threat. Yes, and Charles de Gaulle and the security ships are at risk due to the presence of the Bastion SCRC. And drawing NATO allies into war this time is risky. It was safe to fight with Libya due to the fact that it did not have an air defense system. Syrian air defense is still quite combat-ready, so if the French climb into battle again without asking allies, they may not understand them.

Syrian Middle Eastern knotThe leadership of Israel quite openly declares that the conflict in Syria must be resolved by the hands of the Arabs, that is, it calls for the intervention of the monarchy of the GCC, which, of course, themselves will suffer very significant losses. For Tel Aviv, the best option would be to defeat direct enemies (Syria and, maybe, its supporter - Iran) tactical allies (according to the principle of a common enemy in the face of Iran) - Sunni monarchies, but strategically, enemies are no less. But the monarchies made the first step, recognizing the CPC, but in no further rush to go.

However, it is clear that Hollande, the Arab kings and sheikhs are waiting for the United States to start fighting against Assad. After all, the winning Barack Obama’s hands now seem to be untied. However, while Washington does not show any enthusiasm, their support for the Syrian opposition remains exclusively political.

Turkey remains another potential organizer of aggression. She wants more and more, but is still very prickly. Nevertheless, the Turks begged the NATO Patriots for NATO allies to be located near the border with Syria.

This, like any other, air defense system is purely defensive weapons. However, in this particular case, everything is somewhat more complicated. The firing range of the first modifications of the "Patriot" is 70, later - 160 kilometers, which means that from the territory of Turkey they can shoot down planes over most of Syria. What will become in fact aggression and the Syrian side will receive the right to respond. Moreover, such a step can be quite successful in the first place with regard to air defense missile systems, which are very vulnerable. The result will be a classic escalation to a state of full-scale war. Moreover, no one is going to manufacture new “Patriots” specifically for Turkey and train Turkish soldiers, there is simply no time for this. The air defense system is likely to come to Germany or the Netherlands, and with personnel from these countries. Accordingly, a blow to them will be a blow not to Turkey alone, but to the North Atlantic Alliance as a whole.

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that it was not planned to establish a no-fly zone over Syria, the purpose of deliveries to the air defense system was solely to cover the Turkish airspace. Most likely this is true, since neither the Dutch, nor even the Germans will not substitute their servicemen for a possible Syrian strike. Too much scandal in their own countries, this will turn out.

Therefore, everyone will continue to wait for the rebels to destroy the Assad regime without open external intervention. However, the possibility of a NATO military invasion of the monarchy is kept in mind. That is why the rebels constantly attack Syrian air defense objects and sometimes even capture them. And the opposition itself gives almost nothing, with the help of MANPADS no more than a dozen government aircraft and helicopters have been shot down so far. It is quite obvious that these attacks are carried out on external orders in order to eliminate the factors that could prevent the intervention. But the conditions for it, including the destruction of the air defense system and the general collapse of the armed forces, have not yet been created, so the war will remain civil.

Against this background, the “eternal” conflict between Israel and Palestine suddenly intensified. Israeli armed forces destroyed the Hamas military leader Ahmad Jabari, and then launched massive air-missile strikes on the military infrastructure of this movement. In response, the Islamic group fired several hundred missiles from the Gaza Strip under its control through Israel, some of which reached the Tel Aviv and Jerusalem neighborhoods.

It seems that the Israeli leadership decided that Obama’s hands were now free, and they began to seriously prepare for a strike on Iran, clearing the rear. Hamas is considered one of Tehran’s main resources for delivering an asymmetrical counter strike to Israel. By destroying the group’s military infrastructure, destroying its stockpiles of missiles, including knocking them down with anti-missile defenses, the Israelis removed this problem for a long time. Accordingly, the risks are reduced when solving the main task - the destruction of the Iranian nuclear infrastructure.

However, the capabilities of the Israeli Air Force are objectively limited by the lack of strategic bombers, heavy air bombs, cruise missiles, and lack of tanker aircraft. Therefore, in Tel Aviv, they very much want that for them in Iran a part of the work, and even better, all the work was done by the Americans, who have just enough of the above.

But there is no enthusiasm for the US president here. Moreover, the Americans made every effort to prevent the Israeli ground operation in Gaza. Their main ally was the new president of Egypt, Mohammed Mursi, who was rapidly gaining political weight in his own country and in the Middle East as a whole. He very quickly turns into the same dictator as Hosni Mubarak, only less pro-American.

In addition, the Americans reported that the repair of the aircraft carrier "Nimitz", which was supposed to come in January 2013, to the Persian Gulf to replace the "Dwight Eisenhower", is delayed at least until summer. “Eisenhower” will leave the Persian Gulf before the end of the year and will undergo deck repair in the USA in order to return to the Middle East for four months in February of 2013. Thus, in December 2012 - January 2013, only one US Navy aircraft carrier, the “John Stennis”, will remain in the region. And despite the fact that even for a limited strike on Iran, at least three aircraft carriers are needed, and for the destruction of the entire nuclear-missile infrastructure and the main objects of the Iranian armed forces, at least five.

It is possible that the Nimitz reactor, which in any case will be written off in the 2018 year, after serving the “fifty dollars” it has served, is really faulty. But maybe Washington makes it clear to Tel Aviv that even substituting it by striking Iran without prior arrangement (like France in Libya) will not work. Let Israel itself do everything without any American help.

Obama does not need to think about re-election, his hands are now actually untied. But for some reason all over the world they cannot understand in any way that Obama is not Bush, but quite the opposite. At least by American standards, he is an outspoken pacifist, and he also works off the Nobel Peace Prize awarded in a clear advance. Hence the withdrawal of troops from Iraq without retaining military bases in that country, the steady curtailment of the Afghan operation, and almost complete withdrawal from intervention in Libya. Losing hands does not mean that Obama, like Bush, will start bombing everyone, but that he will even more avoid participating in any wars and conflicts without looking back at the opinion of conservative Republicans. Moreover, the administration’s intentions were announced to significantly reduce the military budget. Consequently, the reduced US capabilities will be reoriented to East Asia in order to contain China. And all the aspirations of Paris, Riyadh, Doha, Ankara, Tel Aviv about the fact that the Americans will soon begin to fight against Syria and / or Iran, appear to be groundless.

On the other hand, it is extremely difficult to admit that the situation in the Middle East will be resolved without a big war, the situation in the region is too tense. On one flank - the West, Turkey, Israel, Sunni monarchies, on the other - Syria (while Assad is in power) and Iran. If the United States is included in the concept of “West”, then the outcome of the war is obvious (even without the participation of Israel). But with the self-withdrawal of Americans, the outcome is absolutely not obvious. Even more so, Israel and the monarchies equally hate Iran, but they will not openly conduct joint operations against it or against Syria, their people will not understand such a peculiar union. Egypt, having the most combat-ready armed forces in the Arab world, is unlikely to take part in the war on the side of monarchies. Mursi, although Islamist, but with his plans and ambitions. The armies of the monarchies themselves are well armed, but their servicemen were not hired there to die in a real bloody war, but also against the co-religionists. The European countries of NATO, as the Libyan experience has shown, can only participate very limitedly in a purely air operation (more than 100 planes are totally incapable of aircraft), participation in a ground operation is out of the question (except for small special forces units). And in such a situation, Turkey does not want to be stupid of all and to be lost essentially alone.

As a result, the sustainability of the regime of Bashar al-Assad becomes a decisive factor. The Syrian leader, by the way, is by no means engaged in the destruction of his own people, as claimed in the West, and what is particularly funny - in medieval Arab despotisms led by Wahhabi Saudi Arabia. It reflects the interests of a significant part of the Syrian people, especially minorities (Alawites, Christians, Kurds), which together make up almost half of the country's population. In this regard, he is very similar to Obama, who also won the election with the votes of various groups of people who are not dominant in the country. Moreover, apparently, for him and a considerable part of the Sunni majority, who see how many radical Islamists among the rebels, mostly foreigners. And this, despite the seeming hopelessness of the situation, gives Assad this very stability. In addition, the Syrian leadership, apparently, was able to adequately assess the external situation, not falling into the superstitious horror of the "omnipotent" NATO and seeing in it only a "paper tiger".

If you refer to the recent stories, it can be noted that the concept of aggressive nature and the gigantic power of NATO greatly captivates all opponents of the alliance and deprives the will to resist. In 1990, NATO, of course, was many times stronger than it is now (both militarily and psychologically). When the deployment of the Western grouping in Saudi Arabia was just beginning, it was already clear: this was not for intimidation (if only because it was too expensive), but for a war against Iraq that had seized Kuwait. Nevertheless, the massive attack of the Iraqi army at that moment would be extremely difficult to repel. However, Saddam Hussein, like the overwhelming majority of dictator-aggressors, was stupid and cowardly. It did not prevent the full-fledged deployment of the grouping of the armed forces of the United States and its allies, and only watched in a spell of the process. Then, having shown absolute passivity during the war, naturally doomed itself to a crushing defeat.

At the end of the decade Slobodan Milosevic behaved in a similar way. He was confident that he had bought NATO's favor with the Dayton Accords and the surrender of the Serb Krajina to the Croats. And he didn’t even bother at least strengthening air defense. For this, it was logical to receive the NATO aggression in the 1999 year, during which it capitulated at the very moment when the operation essentially reached a dead end, because it did not reach its goal. The only way out for the alliance was the start of the ground operation in conditions when the Serb ground forces, unlike the Iraqi, practically did not suffer losses and did not lose their morale. But the Serbian president of NATO saved, surrendering at that very moment. Moreover, even during the air campaign, Milosevic could launch active hostilities against Albania and even try to launch air strikes against NATO air bases in Italy. This could give an extremely significant military and, most importantly, a psychological effect. The enemy would face the threat of unacceptable damage. However, this chance was not used.

Well, in the last years of his life, Gaddafi very actively spread out before the West, forgetting about the strengthening of the Armed Forces. And also got his. But he would have bought, like Asad did, at least a couple of divisions of the Buk-М2 air defense system, most likely would not only be alive, but would still lead Libya. It may be recalled that France began to strike at government forces at the moment when they launched an attack on Benghazi, and with very good chances for success. There would be a "Buk" - there would be no strikes.

Looks like Assad decided to be an exception. Perhaps there were adequate people in Damascus who were able to look at NATO realistically, and not through the prism of the concept described. Perhaps there they managed to adequately assess the misery of the Libyan campaign of the alliance and understand that even a relatively small number of “Bukov” and “Pantsira” is enough for the desire to fight the Europeans to disappear. And if the United States is not going to participate in hostilities, then there is absolutely no need to be afraid of everyone else.

The main thing here is that psychological stability is impossible without a powerful army, even if it is equipped with mostly obsolete weapons and military equipment (IWT). This is the most important Syrian lesson. The supply of weapons and military equipment of the 90s is sufficient both for a full-scale war with rebels receiving weapons from abroad and for deterring possible aggression from outside. How long is enough - that is the question. After all, aid with weapons and that extremely insignificant (due to the limitations of their own capabilities) is provided by Assad only by Iran. Russia and especially China only talk a lot. But Turkey, monarchies and Libya who joined them, are very actively pumping the opposition with arms and people. At some point, their quantity may turn into quality ...

    adequate people were found in Damascus who were able to look at NATO realistically, and not through the prism of the described concept. Perhaps there they managed to adequately assess the squalor of the Libyan campaign of the alliance and understand that even a relatively small number of “Buk” and “Carapace” are enough to lose the desire to fight the Europeans

          At least there would be such meat in the world, there would be money, and Assad simply could starve them. Shooting, explosions, deaths, sanctions, a gradually declining economy will simply destroy the country without outside help, a matter of time. Iran itself is in sanctions , it won’t help much. Russia and China are mostly verbal. So I think the fate is sad. There is no power in the world that can withstand 100% chaos.

            But most importantly, the author calls this war a civil war and here claims that Assad does not fight with his people. Let the civil war be already determined or not.

          a lot of mistakes
          1. Syrian rebels attack everything ruled by military bases (they need weapons and equipment), special emphasis is placed on air force bases since it is the air bombs that cause the most damage and casualties
          2. Kurds-Christians-Alavites do not make up half of the population of Syria. This is, to put it mildly, an incorrect assumption. And not all of them unequivocally support Assad.
          3. not to intervene now means to let the situation take its course and "God forbid" the Syrians themselves, who are not controlled by anyone or anything, will get to power in Syria ... because the West is in a hurry ... although, I hope, it will not have time ...

              Yes, Israel will not get better from the fall of Assad, and therefore all outsiders messed up with missions / interventions. the rebels are squeezing the ring around Damascus, and neither the West, nor Russia, nor anyone else intends to allow them to power.

        - while you do not agree that Syria does not have the supply of new technology. The repaired MI-25 helicopters never arrived - and this is a shame for Russia. since they did not deliver it, it means that they de facto agreed that the States have the right, according to their own understanding, to dictate to Russia who to supply weapons and to whom not. Precisely "according to their own mind" - no official sanctions against Syria through the UN (and only along this line are the sanctions legitimate). And Russia agreed with this! Important components for radars have not been delivered to Syria either - Putin did not even set himself the goal of knocking them out of Turkey, at least back to Russia. This means that the combat effectiveness of many air defense units is in doubt. It is possible that even some of the 36 "Carapaces", which are more or less modern in the Syrian air defense, are even among the faulty ones. They have been there for several years already, and some individual units may well fail. And the products are radar and from the manufacturer "Pantsirey". The conclusion is simple - in fact, there are not 36 shells, but less.
        Not, of course, I would like to hope that I do not know much and cannot know, but supplies are carried out through secret special multi-step operations at the level of large special services, political support is actually carried out through diplomatic channels, and "we are not Assad's lawyers" - all only rhetoric aimed at reducing the hostility of anti-Assad-minded countries. Hopefully. But firstly, the Russian top political establishment has long been demonstrating transparency in foreign policy (such transparency in domestic policy), and the events in Libya have clearly shown that if Russia is “merging”, then “merging” directly and honestly, so to speak , so bluntly and declaring - "Amanita is not shaking hands". Secondly, the Russian special services have long lost the ability to conduct special operations in such a way that not a single dog is in a dream. Or foreign intelligence services have become so skilled, while the Russian one has remained at the same level of Soviet times. Whoever likes it, but the result is still the same - I am sure that nothing is being supplied to Syria.
        And now the conclusions -
        Quote: Alexander Romanov
        While the financial conveyor is operating, how much urine there is, new meat will be delivered regularly and in the required quantity
        - Syria is only wasting its resource and no one but Iran is trying to help her make up for losses. Neither finance, nor weapons, nor meat.
        And if so, then the end is completely predictable, and I am almost sure of it. The point is the timing. It may be long enough, but still the end of this story will be unambiguous. Syria is a poor country, and this is its main weakness.

There are rumors on the Internet about the cash being transported by Assad by air, possibly by arms, but then at least let me be glad that the Russian special services are able to carry out such operations -))))). At least later, after a fight, when you no longer need to wave your fists. After the conflict of the two Koreas, our pilots had to be proud only after fifty, but no, even more - years. Somehow the joy after such a long wait is not the same.
            But it seems that our and Iranian assistance can not be compared with the help of that side. Already 40 fighters belay under Damascus! You wet them, you wet them, and there are more and more of them! As in the film "Evolution" (remember the silly film with David Duchovny?) - there aliens could not be burned out with fire, they only grew from fire!

            On the whole, I agree with the statement, but I do not agree with your "main factor" - Russia does not follow in the wake of the United States. It was the West that managed to impose "Assad's bloodthirstiness" on the world, while Russia is now unable to support the "bloody dictator" - such support can go sideways. They break all contracts, even those already concluded, and sue them in international arbitration. They are expelled from all concessions and deposits. Moreover, this will be done by third countries that have little to do with the States, except perhaps those under their informational influence. A lot of losses are shining. From this already "yulenie" - like, "we are not lawyers and did not subscribe to lawyers!" I will clearly indicate that Russia has interests in Syria, but unfortunately it is unable to defend them. And I will just as clearly indicate - this is not following in the wake of the amers' policy, this is a manifestation of Russia's weakness. Geopolitical weakness. From this, and yulenie - in fact, lost, so at least save the image and save all the deals with Turkey. Sadness, in general. We are not the USSR, we are not the USSR. All the more it is necessary to unite and unite their potentials - the weak has no place in this world. Or a place, but in a remote corner, for some reason it doesn't smell good.
            I’m not very upset and not in a hurry to draw conclusions, I’m not in a hurry to write off Assad - I understand that this is exactly the impression from my post. Just stating the facts based on the available information material. And I just conclude - you need to become strong. Even if for this you have to tighten your belts. And I also hope that juvenileism will cease, and that Russia will directly make it clear to those who finance the bandit bacchanalia in Syria that it will not tolerate ... Although this is unlikely to help. Qatar carried away unless you have to erase from the map of the Earth, but who will? Under the roof of the hegemon sad

At a meeting with Vladimir Putin, the Syrian leader showed documented evidence, testimony of captured extremists, as well as photo and video confirmation, etc. At the meeting additional agreements were signed on the supply of mi-25s, and weapons in terms of air defense, also Assad, expressed a desire to join the CSTO and the Customs Union, and proposed (after the end of the confrontation with the militants) to invest in the Syrian economy, with the provision of benefits and discounts.

      It is necessary to strengthen Syria’s air defense, because NATO aggression will begin from the air .... this is the standard scenario ..... of course, this cannot be allowed, the faster the Syrian army breaks the mercenaries, the less chance of invading from outside

      - there will be no strengthening of the air defense of Syria. After the words “we are not Syria's avdocats,” and after we called Turkey into the customs union with the signing of a number of major economic deals, I got the impression IMHO - Syria is being dumped in exchange for getting Turkey.
      The exchange is attractive only at first glance. But Syria has already proven its ability to be a loyal ally, it has never demonstrated eastern cunning and eastern cunning, and it does not have its own imperial ambitions, which go harshly against Russia's plans. Turkey will not be an ally, at the first opportunity it will take a stone out of its bosom. Or it will simply "pretend" to be an ally, but exactly until the moment when it dampens Syria - after all, as an ally, it will be given such a right. And then the rhetoric will change dramatically up to the demands of Crimea back.
      Anyway - I understand everything, no friends are needed, there are interests. But you can’t betray, how then to look in the mirror?

              Syria has a dictatorship. In Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, constitutional monarchies are implicated in the orthodox religion. Syria has proclaimed itself a republic, but there are no free elections there. Constitutional monarchies do not provide for elections by constitution. There is the hereditary power of kings.

              To overthrow power in these countries from the outside, by military means, the West will not do that. They do not need the victims of their soldiers, goals and objectives are inadequate. Now, if the peoples of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain rise against the power of the hereditary kings on a Syrian scale, and the kings start bombing their people, then the West will support the peoples of Arabia and Bahrain both morally and financially. As it was in Tunisia and Libya. How this is happening in Syria.

                  Once again I confirm. The West is not enthusiastic about the monarchies of the Middle East. And forcedly has business with them. Because the people themselves do not oppose these monarchies in large numbers. Applying the presumption of innocence, it is quite possible that these peoples themselves want to live under the kings, if they do not speak.

                  There are elections in Iran, but the Thai opposition will never win, since the ayatollahs will not allow this to be done. For this there is an administrative resource and Guardians of the Revolution. As Allah and two machine guns say to us. In Venezuela, the elections are in power and the one whom the people chose. Although Hugo is not a gift for the United States. But precisely because Hugo chose the people of the United States and do not climb into Venezuela. By the way, Venezuela refutes the postulates of cheers-patriots that the United States climb into all holes only for oil. If this were so, then the amers know how to count, it would be much cheaper for them to get into Venezuela, and not into Iraq. It’s more profitable and cheaper to transport oil from Venezuela several times than to distant lands from Iraq. But in Venezuela, a legally elected president, albeit an eccentric.

                    - the communists have laid down everything that is needed for advanced technologies and industries. They just lost. We lost the war. The States managed to become the emission center of the world currency and enjoyed all the advantages of the emission center. This system includes all the strongest states. The inventions and scientific achievements of Germany (FRG), Japan, France, England, Isaril and others automatically became the achievements of the States in the confrontation with the USSR - all these achievements were applied in the military sphere, primarily in the military sphere. And the USSR, in scientific and technical terms, stood alone with practically the entire technically developed world. And he resisted successfully for many years. Then he began to lag behind in the information field, that is, in the field of computers. But the gap began precisely in the mid-80s, and it was the hump that began. Before that, the USSR even in the field of computers - "Elbrus", "Iskra". The EU 1500 lagged behind uncritically. I'm not asking for the communists - I'm not a communist. I ask for objectivity.

In itself, they do not really need them - for printed candy wrappers they will buy them as much as desired and in any quantity. And Texas has its own oil. Oil is control. Wanted - pinched Russia through prices. He wanted - he suspended the growth of China again through prices. Or simply through non-sale. And Venezuela is not at all at all - there were already a couple of assassination attempts on Hugo, Colombia is ready to declare war on Venezuela just about. Colombia is a state completely controlled by amers. Stay informed, believe not only what you want to believe. And yet - you forgot to mention Nicaragua.

            On any scales of economic, political and especially strategic Syria is a more profitable partner for Russia than Turkey - Syria will never even be a competitor to Russia in the long run and has no plans either for the Caucasus, the Caspian Sea or the Black Sea ... Syria, in contrast from Turkey never supported the Chechen separatists ...
            Anyway, having a small and strong ally close to Turkey is strategically beneficial for Russia and not beneficial for Turkey and Ankara is well aware that this is all the buzz and all these rebels ...

            And who told you that there is a dictatorial regime in Syria? And Turkey has been oppressing the same Kurds for many years, and they simply slaughtered Armenians at one time ...

            The fact that the Russian Navy base is not developed and equipped is a problem mainly of Russia itself ....

            And you can invest in the Syrian economy and develop infrastructure and industry ... In Syria, the huge gas reserves it develops among other things with the help of our specialists - that is, it gives our citizens excellent income. My relative has been working under a contract in Syria for many years on a gas field - in that part of the country where he works quietly - there are no scumbags - everyone is quiet and peaceful, people are happy and work peacefully ...

            In Syria, a lot of goods attractive to the Russian market and as a whole for the CIS market - there would be a desire to develop trade ....

            the support of a dictator who is at war with his people is so between things.


            Maybe you forgot that Turkey has been fighting for many years with part of its people - called the Kurds ...

              Do you have the text of official statements by Turkish leaders that they support the Wahhabis of the Caucasus? Some public, religious organizations may support, but this is not the Turkish government. In the 90 years, many free schools and madrassas sponsored by religious organizations of the Bloc of East and Iran were opened in Kazakhstan. They taught the basics of Islam and trained the Quran. (Then these schools closed). But those boys who studied today became young men and took up arms of extremism. And, what am I now to blame the governments of Iran, Syria, Bahrain, Egypt for the increasing incidence of extremism in Kazakhstan.

              This is a very big question, to discuss it it is necessary to the appropriate topic. The Kurds fought not only in Turkey, but at one time they fought in Iraq, and in Syria, and in Iran. Here, with the collapse of colonialism after the Second World War, the UN for some reason did not endow the Kurds with its state, as it endowed the Syrians, Jordanians, Lebanese, and Jews.

              I have already written about this several times. Russia from the USSR inherited a great influence in the Arab world. The main buyers of Soviet weapons were from there. But Russia with its support of the dictatorial regimes of Libya, Egypt, Tunisia has lost this influence. Now losing the last in Syria.

              Only now has the Kremlin realized this. Therefore, Putin went to Istanbul to have at least something in the region represented by Turkey. The Arab world for Russia is lost for many years. And you will have to make a lot of efforts to restore at least part of the past.

At the age of 8 years [2], together with his mother, Florence Klein, emigrated to New York. Florence and her brother, Larry Klein, were the only Holocaust survivors. Simmons father - Feri Weitz did not go with his family to the United States. After arriving in America, the young Chaim Weitz changed his name to Eugene Klein (later to Gene Klein), taking his mother's maiden name. In the late 60s, he took the name Simmons, in honor of Jumpin Gene Simmons - the legendary rock singer of the mid-3th century. [XNUMX]

                  In his first group, Simmons began playing as a teenager. The team was first called Lynx, and then changed its name to The Missing Links. In the end, Simmons dissolved the group and created another - The Long Island Sounds. During the game in these groups, he earned extra money trying to earn more money by making fanzines and selling used comics. Simmons studied for some time in college, and then joined the new group - Bullfrog Bheer - and recorded with her a demo song “Leeta”, which later became part of one of the Kiss box collections.

                      In 2006, during the Second Lebanon War between Israel and Hezbollah, Simmons made a television message in English and Hebrew in support of an Israeli soldier seriously injured in a battle in Lebanon, calling him "his hero."

                      In November 2010, during CNN's Parker Spitzer program, Simmons said he regrets his vote for Barack Obama during the US presidential election. He criticized the 2009 American Health Care Reform, also noting that “by looking at the past you will not find someone less competent” than Obama. Gene added: “I do not want to see this government in my life” [9].

                      In May 2011, he directly accused Obama, who called on Israel to return to the 1967 borders, of infantilism and a lack of understanding of reality: "For a president sitting in Washington and saying 'Get out of your 67th borders," I want to pose the question: How about you go and live there, try to defend the undefended borders 9 miles wide? Going back to 67 is a nice idea. But as you grow up, you start to realize that life is not what you imagine. " [10] The musician also named The UN is “the most miserable organization on Earth” [11].
                      After his visit to Israel in 2011, Simmons called “stupid” musicians who, for political reasons, refuse to perform in this state. [12]

About the same KISS they write "Freley created the text logo (where he made the letters" SS "look like lightning bolts) when he went to paint the word Kiss on top of a poster of Wicked Lester near the club in which they were going to play. [14] Later, the visual similarity of these letters-lightning with the Sieg rune, which Nazi troops used in their SS symbols during World War II.In Germany, these symbols are prohibited, therefore, to avoid misunderstandings, most of the group's albums released after 1979 in Germany had a special edition of the cover, in which the letters 'SS' looked like a mirror image of 'ZZ'. Rumors accusing Kiss of Nazism were extremely ridiculous, since Gene Simmons is a native of Israel, and Paul Stanley is of Jewish roots, thus two permanent members of the group are Jews. "

            Ministers are also people. Could and fight. Especially in Istanbul, issues of settlement in Syria were discussed. Russian officials who recently met Bashar al-Assad unanimously say that he has lost hope of surviving. Putin proposed to the Turks and the opposition a plan according to which Assad will leave, and his place will be taken by Sunni Vice President Faruk Hasharaa. Apparently, this is too small and too late.

            What is there to imagine? It is not in vain that the United States is forming a belt of chaos in the Middle East. And this is the zone of Russia's strategic interests. In addition, this is a zone close to the borders of Russia. Of course, it's good to watch from the outside, but what if after all these "revolutions" and "democratizations", Russia gets a seething cauldron on its southern borders, as well as the activation of militants in the Caucasus? And what kind of nuclear weapons can we talk about if the United States is de jure on the sidelines and de facto aggravate the situation by feeding the region with weapons and money? How can nuclear weapons be used in such conditions? And we have to rake this shit! For if the Caucasus, the Caspian and possibly Tatarstan break out, can you imagine the consequences of this fire? So whatever you say, Vanya will have to take up arms again ... Although I completely agree with you that he needs to work and give birth to children, and not to run around the battlefields with a Kalash. But such is our lot ...

WHEN FINALLY THIS SYSTEM OF STATE CONSTRUCTION WHERE A HANDLE OF BUMERS WILL DECIDE THE DESTINIES OF COUNTRIES AND CITIES WILL STOP EXISTING ?! How long will we humans remain a herd? I think that the reason is much deeper than it is customary to talk about it.

      It is true that, as long as there is an army of young and unemployed, they will be hired for green paper and sent to death like meat.

      The United States and free tuition at universities, and benefits, and accelerated citizenship, were allowed to fagots, women were allowed access to women where they hadn’t been taken before, and still lack of replenishment and outflow of military personnel. And such grandmas pay.

      And history has shown that mercenaries are fighting for the most part and are winning, and when the situation changes they are the first to run.

    No matter what they say, but to overthrow Assad, they will have to cut out almost the entire Syrian people, tk. more and more often I hear in the news a phrase like: "army units, together with people's self-defense squads, carried out a sweep in such an area, or stormed an area controlled by militants .."
    And the people really have nowhere to go or join squads, or death .. all the more so those who have lost their loved ones go to such popular militias!

    national self-defense squads carried out a sweep

    Shabiha (Arabic: الشبيحة, from the root شبح “ghost”) is an informal term roughly translated as “bandits.” It was widely known during the civil war in Syria, when the Syrian opposition and foreigners began to call Shabiha informal armed groups that support President Bashar al-Assad and used to intimidate the opposition and carry out punitive operations. It is believed that the Alabites make up the core of the Shabih.

      And why such terms - "bandits and informal armed formations" if they support a legitimate government?

      This is very similar to the American style - to turn everything upside down if it suits them ... If the government is not profitable - then we will call it a regime, if the militias on the enemy’s side will call them bandits and illegal groups, if any hired zbrod is fighting against Assad - you can call it noble rebels or even better the opposition, and if the rebels become unnecessary they will instantly be called terrorists or even worse Al Qaeda ...

      In politics, the terms are not important - black can be called white and vice versa ...
      Actions are important ...

        bandits - because before the war, they were the Alawite mafia (organized crime group)
        informal - because there is no such officer. Syrian formations.

        about a rebel mercenary - this is "if ours is a scout, if theirs is a spy."
        a mercenary is someone who receives payment, and in order to call someone this, you need to provide invoices, receipts.
        And such terms as volunteers, internationalists recall.

          And how do you know that they were not formed officially - that Assad himself reported to you?

          Naturally, no one will give an account and a receipt to anyone - it is the same as if the United States had at one time demanded a receipt from the Afghan mujahideen ... Providing a receipt to a mercenary means revealing the secrecy of the operation - there have never been such fools in any country ... Everything is paid simply - in cash - as it has been for centuries ...

            first prove the legitimacy of something, and if this is not in the law, then it is illegal. You know the law on the basis of which "shabiha" is a subdivision of the Armed Forces or the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ?

              Did you even read my post? I wrote that these squads are fighting together, which means that under the control of legitimate army units, where is the illegality? Or do you want to say that the partisan detachments of the Second World War were also illegal? Well, according to Goebels, of course, yes.

    In general, Syria is already an undefeated country, even if Assad is killed by British commandos. For defeat is, first of all, a defeat of the spirit.

    SUPER NEWS !!!
    DONE !!!!
    FINALLY, THE SAUDITES WERE NOSE
    The prince of Saudi Arabia transported 49 falcons to the territory of Russia for hunting, including 16 rare species, according to Rosprirodnadzor. Now a member of the royal family, the deputy foreign minister, is accused of smuggling. Between Moscow and Riyadh, an international scandal is brewing.

    The royal family on their private plane arrived in Russia to participate in the bird exhibition, which takes place in Kalmykia. The scandal erupted after Rosprirodnadzor found out that the Saudi prince illegally transported 49 falcons for hunting - among them were 16 rare species: 4 peregrine falcons, 1 gyrfalcon, 5 hybrids of a gyrfalcon with a booth and 6 hybrids of a peregrine falcon.

    Birds were seized from Mohammad Al Kabir, but Rosprirodnadzor could not detain the prince himself, since he is the deputy minister of foreign affairs for multilateral relations, which means that he is an inviolable person. But the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia was notified of the fact of illegal import by a high-ranking official of another country into the territory of Russia of rare birds.

    Tonight, the prince must leave the country - while Rosprirodnadzor is doing everything possible to prevent him.

    there are a lot of errors in the article. the author does not interfere with visiting Syria
    1. Syrian rebels attack everything ruled by military bases (they need weapons and equipment), special emphasis is placed on air force bases since it is the air bombs that cause the most damage and casualties
    2. Kurds-Christians-Alavites do not make up half of the population of Syria. This is, to put it mildly, an incorrect assumption. And not all of them unequivocally support Assad.
    3. not to intervene now means to let the situation take its course and "God forbid" the Syrians themselves, who are not controlled by anyone or anything, will get to power in Syria ... because the West is in a hurry ... although, I hope, it will not have time ...
