The Syrian Question: Moscow’s Success on the Geopolitical Front

146
The goal of this review is to go as far as unnecessary detail as possible, to give the most complete geopolitical picture of the events around Syria. Especially important (frankly, outstanding) today is Russia's diplomatic success related to the proposal for international control of chemical weapons in Syria, already supported by Damascus and highly appreciated by political scientists and analysts. There is even an opinion that comrade Putin rescues hapless Obama from the “Syrian trap”.



Russia's proposal to transfer Syrian chemical weapons under international control caused a huge stir among the world community. Barack Obama said that such a measure could be a breakthrough in the protracted conflict, reports Interfax.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov explained that the proposal was not a complete Russian initiative, but was born during Russian-American negotiations. At a joint press conference with Foreign Minister of Libya Muhammad Abdel-Aziz Lavrov said: “It grows from contacts that we had with our American colleagues from yesterday’s statement by John Kerry, who allowed the possibility of avoiding strikes if this problem is resolved.”

Since Russia, according to Comrade Lavrov, is always trying to use the slightest chance for a peaceful settlement, “we took advantage of the stay in Syria’s Foreign Minister Walid Muallem in Moscow to invite him to consider this opportunity.”

Currently, the Russian side is preparing a plan for putting the Syrian arsenal under international control.

As for official Damascus, he approved the initiative to transfer his chemical weapons under international control.

As transmits RIA News", Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said: “During our talks with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, he put forward an initiative related to chemical weapons. I listened carefully to his statement. In this regard, I declare that the Syrian Arab Republic welcomes the Russian initiative, based on the concern of the Syrian leadership about the lives of our citizens and security in our country. We are also confident of the wisdom of the Russian leadership, which is trying to prevent American aggression against our people. "

Later, Comrade Muallem added, Interfax notes that Damascus is ready to make public the location of the warehouses with toxic substances and show these objects to representatives of Russia, other states and the United Nations.

By the way, the Russian proposal has already been approved by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

Concerning Syria, Barack Obama spoke on American TV last night. As expected, the president did not abandon his aggressive plans. Also, he did not put the slightest doubt that the Assad troops conducted Himatak 21 August.

As the correspondent ITAR-TASS Dmitry Zlodorev, Barack Obama, speaking with a televised address to the Americans, said that the US administration was confident that the Syrian government was responsible for the chemical attacks in the Damascus 21 region of August. Obama stated:

“No one disputes that chemical weapons were used in Syria. The world has seen thousands of videos and photos testifying to the attack. And humanitarian organizations have reported hospitals overflowing with people with symptoms of gas poisoning. ”


To this he added:

“Moreover, we know that the Assad regime is responsible. In the days before August 21, as we know, Assad’s supporters prepared for an attack in the area where they sprayed sarin gas. They distributed masks to their servicemen. They fired rockets from territories that were controlled by the regime in 11 suburbs, from where the regime tried to drive out opposition forces. ”


According to Obama, the United States "studied the blood and hair samples of people who were diagnosed with sarin poisoning."

He further said that the United States would study Russia's proposal to transfer the chemical weapons in Syria and will continue to consult with Moscow.



In addition, the president said: "If we do nothing, the Assad regime will have no reason to stop using chemical weapons." Obama is still seeking aggression. This is proved by the following words: “When a ban on chemical weapons is relaxed, other tyrants will have no reason to think twice before receiving poisonous gas and using it.” Obama added: "Over time, our troops may again face a chemical attack on the battlefield, and it may be easier for terrorists to acquire such weapons and use them against civilians." Well, and then Obama's speech turned to the traditional topic - Iran, without which the Syrian issue is incomplete and plunges the Israeli lobby in Washington into disheartened:

"Failure to combat the use of chemical weapons will lead to a relaxation of bans on other types of weapons of mass destruction and strengthen ally Assad - Iran, which must decide whether to ignore international norms and create nuclear weapons or go on a peaceful path."


Finally, there was a familiar argument: the United States does not attack, the United States defends itself. Obama is sure: Washington’s response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria "meets the interests of America’s national security":

"After careful study, I came to the conclusion that it is in the interests of the US national security to take retaliatory measures to use the chemical weapons by the Assad regime."


The retaliatory measures will be expressed in a “targeted military strike”. Obama explained:

"The result of this strike should be to deter Assad from the use of chemical weapons, reducing the ability of his regime to use these weapons."


The president promised that Washington would not send ground troops to Syria. "I know that after the terrible price we paid in Iraq and Afghanistan, the idea of ​​any military action, no matter how limited, will not be popular."

Further, the President of America stressed that "this will be a targeted strike aimed at solving the precise task of preventing the use of chemical weapons and reducing the capabilities of the Assad regime."

And then Obama stressed that

“Israel’s ally, Israel, can protect itself, also with unshakable support from the United States.”


About how the United States and other countries responded to the proposal of Sergei Lavrov to take international control of the Syrian chemical weapons, "Voice of Russia" Experts told Boris Dolgov, Vyacheslav Matuzov and Stanislav Tarasov.

Boris Dolgov, senior research fellow at the Institute of Oriental Studies, RAS, believes that the anti-Syrian policy of the United States has failed. A scientist does not think that senators in the United States will vote for a military solution. As for the negotiations on the proposal to control chemical weapons, they will be successful. This way is the most acceptable way out of the crisis. Moreover, Russia's proposal to control chemical weapons is “a way for America, for the leadership of the United States, to save face, to get out of this situation with the least moral losses. Of course, the lobby of the US military-industrial complex will defend the decision on military strikes. But at the moment, I think there will be no military strike on Syria. ”

As for the chemical weapons themselves, for example, Russia itself destroyed chemical weapons under international control. And other countries did the same.

The head of the Society for Friendship and Business Cooperation with Arab countries, Vyacheslav Matuzov said:

“I have been following the publication of the Russian position on the transfer of Syrian chemical weapons to the UN control. I spoke on five Arabic-speaking channels. This news was perceived in the Arab world by almost everyone as a sensation, as a powerful diplomatic breakthrough made by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I would say that in the Arab world there was not only a sigh of relief when they heard this news from Moscow, but also stormy and prolonged applause from all Arabs who were opposed to military action. Nobody wanted to fight in the Arab world, to destroy the Arab country. The fact that Russia found a way out of the impasse created by the United States was perceived absolutely correctly. ”


The expert added:

“I think this is a great success for Russian diplomacy. The main thing now is to bring the investigation into the chemical attack of the militants against the peaceful Syrian population to the end. The criminals who committed this inhuman act in order to draw America into the war on their side should be punished to the fullest extent of international law. ”


As for the initiative of Russia, the analyst here believes that “it seems that the Russian Foreign Ministry took the initiative without an agreement with the United States. As the saying goes, this initiative was taken "off the wheel", in stride, it had a phenomenal impact on the world community. " Eventually

“Americans were taken aback by the initiative of the Russian Foreign Ministry. I think that now it will be very difficult for them to continue on their way to escalating hostilities, to making a limited or unlimited strike. The Russian Foreign Ministry knocked the sword out of the hands of the American rider. "


However, the American strategy, the expert believes, "definitely will not be changed." Why? Here is the answer:

“It is based on geopolitical changes in the Middle East, new borders between states. They want to destroy everything and build new states on these fragments that are completely loyal to US policy. ”


The US line on reforming the Middle East will continue, but in a different form. Because of Russia. She says the scientist, "entered the diplomatic arena as a powerful state, not so much from a military point of view, but from a political and diplomatic point of view." Our country

“I showed that she is professionally head and shoulders above all American and Western diplomats, because she completely beat the Americans in this chess game.”


Stanislav Tarasov, director of the Middle East-Caucasus Center at the International Institute of the Newest States, notes that the Americans could not achieve the creation of a “traditional” scheme - a coalition invasion, bypassing the UN Security Council. The operation failed. Now, historians and political scientists will have to investigate what happened in Washington: why Obama found himself in a Syrian trap. After all, he refused to make an independent decision, "throwing everything to the Congress." The expert has the impression that Putin is helping Obama "get out of this situation."

After the Russian proposal and its assessment by the international community, the situation in the United States developed as follows.

Senate voting on the resolution authorizing a strike on Syria was postponed from Wednesday to a later date, reports "Russian newspaper" with reference to ITAR-TASS. This decision was made due to the fact that discussions about the use of chemical weapons in the SAR continue.

Previously it was expected that the Senate will vote on September 11, and the House of Representatives will do it next week.

About "pause" said Obama.

The US President explained to Washington the position of Washington on the Syrian issue in connection with the new initiative of Moscow.

“If the international community gets a verifiable and implementable mechanism for controlling chemical weapons in Syria, then I’m entirely for it,” they cite "Vesti", referring to ITAR-TASS, the words of the head of the White House.

Obama noted that he had already spoken about this with the President of Russia and instructed the State Secretary to continue the dialogue on this topic with the Russian side.

If Assad refuses chemical weapons, the attack on Syria will be put on an indefinitely long “pause”. International control over the stockpiles of chemical weapons in Syria will not solve the conflict in this country, but it will probably avoid military action, Obama assured. Obama also said he was ready to consider any opportunity to avoid military intervention.

Obama himself has not decided whether to use military force if Congress votes against the strike against Syria. An assessment of the situation, he said, will be given after the vote in Congress.

Everything is clear with Obama, but the American people and congressmen definitely do not support a blow to Syria. He writes about it Mixednews.ru with reference to Global Research.

Americans call and write letters to members of Congress, urging lawmakers not to agree to a military strike against Syria.

Republican Party member Jim McDermott writes: “Calls and emails from my voters make up one hundred to one AGAINST intervening in the affairs of Syria. The American people speak out. ”

Republican Elijah Cummings wrote that the topic of 99 percent of calls to him was a protest against the attack.

Another Republican, Andy Harris, points out: "Voters who contacted my office by phone or email speak out against actions in Syria in the ratio of 523 to 4."

Republican Tim Griffin tweets: “Within a week, 225 received letters about Syria on my site, and of all 255, only three were in support of military actions.”

Republican Alan Lovental received more than 653's emails, calls and social media posts. Only eleven comments were in favor of the attack.

Republican Justin Amash tweeted: “I talked a lot with members of our armed forces. What I heard all the time was: “Please vote against the military actions in Syria”. ”

Finally, a survey conducted by one of the most popular sites in America showed that the overwhelming majority of the country's population are against military action in Syria: 78 to 1.

            In my opinion, this is obvious, Russia defended Syria - the situation is such that the United States will lose much less if they refuse to strike, otherwise their fate is unenviable.
            War like in Iraq will not work - because None of the developed countries helped Iraq; more likely it will be more like Vietnam.

        So they will still bomb Syria, what’s good here ... as they said there:
        "The result of this strike should be to deter Assad from using chemical weapons, reducing the ability of his regime to use these weapons." Well, they will deliver point strikes, and where there are point strikes and not point strikes (as a result of civilian casualties), they will bomb for a week, and where there is a week there are three (the appetite comes with eating) ....
        And look what happens ... Syria will be disarmed (chemical weapons will be taken away) but they will still be bombed, as a result the "opposition" will be able to deploy normally, and then everything will be like in Libya ... No, if you take away chemical weapons, then no bombing ... ..

            This is the whole trouble. America is such a cesspool that they will find some other reason for the bombing. Do not forget that the next US president will most likely be Clinton, Hilary. Just the man who brewed this porridge. And the pig, as you know, will find dirt everywhere.

            The following chain can be traced: Syria does not have chemistry, in fact, there is no strategic deterrent against aggression. Turkey and Israel have anti-aircraft defense and an Alkaid wing - the United States. The bearded take and deliver an artillery strike at the checkpoint on the Turkish border and say through aljazira that it is Assad. Turkey in response mobilizes the Air Force and bomb Damascus, the third world war begins. Or, for example, another Israeli submarine strikes another military object in Syria and is drowned by the Syrians, but it’s even gouging on it, even samapotent. Israel declares aggression and, together with the US, begins to bomb all of Syria, what begins ?? Right third world ... etc

            So, there is practically no chance that Syria will be just released and allowed to grind all the bearded lads. Money invested indecently many. Now the endos will begin to prepare even more in detail the provocations. I think the next will be an artillery strike on Turkey and as evidence they will show a battery with people in the form of the Syrian army destroyed in the Syrian territory. Everything will be presented in such a way that Assad himself gave the order. I will not be surprised even if the text of the order is found. And no UN can stop NATO from attacking a country that hit a member of the alliance.

        There is no chance to prevent a blow. the United States will still bomb Syria and try to overthrow Assad. If he takes away chemical weapons from Assad, he will have nothing to answer and restrain the nuclear potential of Israel. So strikes are inevitable - the United States will do everything to take control of the region and expand the borders of Israel. And all attempts by Russia to avoid conflict are on the side of the United States and others. It's time to understand - the United States is not interested in anyone's opinion.

          "International control" is a very tricky term. It does not imply the immediate destruction of chemical weapons stockpiles, and this will not work out quickly for purely technological reasons. This is the creation of commissions, controllers, reports and calculations, resolutions and reports, as a result, this event is very time-consuming, which gives Assad a huge temporary head start, the opportunity to deal with the militants and the moral uplift of the entire people.

            Obama clearly spoke out today - they will bomb and in the near future - there is no time. Yes, it was clear even without his speech. Regarding the procedure - in the know, to paint for anything, but there will be no lengthy procedure. No need to keep the United States for idiots. Not only will they bomb, but they will also try to pass a resolution through the UN Security Council and force Assad to abandon chemical weapons.

                  Thanks for the young of course. He didn’t lag behind the tape, we are quoted in isolation from the context, the monkey said that she did not refuse attacks on Syria, but only postponed, in the morning it was completely. But for a long time - I think not, as soon as they can’t agree on chemical weapons, and it will be so, or another provocation will not happen - they will start right away.

                    Kerry ass crawled and knuckles constantly wrinkled from pressure. Hagel as it is little touched. But Dempsey seemed to me to feel guilty for everything that was happening and quietly disagreeing with Obama's decision. But he is a servant and he has an order, and this can be understood.

                  The heavy flywheel of the striped military machine is untwisted. To stop it, serious efforts will be required. Transferring chemistry under international control will delay the attack for a short time, but will not stop it. The United States does not want to listen to the voice of reason, manic trends are visible, something serious should happen so that they have no doubt that a blow to Syria could ricochet in the opposite direction . fool

There are healthy people in the USA and many of the vegetables there have seen their sight. Even the unspoken censorship of the media could not stop it.

              And after the adoption of the resolution, a rocket with some kind of chemistry will fly to Israel from the territory "controlled by Assad", and that's all. It will be possible to legally bomb as many as necessary. And then no one will say anything.
              All this looks like Israel’s cunning plan, Kerry accidentally mentioned the possibility of not striking in exchange for control of chemical weapons, and the whole world immediately picked up this idea. And then the question is, didn’t we fall into a pre-planned trap, or was they just waiting for this? (Lavrov answered too quickly, and forced the Syrians to agree to these conditions).

                It seems to me that just the opposite, Kerry (something like a dog), gradually encouraged to make such a statement. It is important that the initiative came from a striped corner, Russia and Syria agreed to it. Now, if the United States continues its policy of aggression, it will expose itself in an idiotic position and add another brick to the wall that has been erected around itself for a long time, and which will eventually become their prison.

          In any case, chemical weapons as well as nuclear weapons of those that you can’t fight. Unless, of course, a politician is sane, and not yesterday’s cannibal. The problems with such weapons are a wagon and a small cart. In this region, it was not WMD that served as deterrence, but a fragile balance of forces and unwillingness to engage in another major confrontation. WMD remained as the most extreme argument when the rest were exhausted. Israel itself would hardly be the first to use nuclear weapons. It’s already not 1945, and they wouldn’t get away with it. So the decision to transfer chemical weapons under international control is absolutely correct. We Syria will compensate for the absence of chemical weapons by conventional weapons. Now we need to buy time. And there you look and the investigation of the gas attack will advance, or the militants will get something else - after all, rams fool . Only now it is necessary to immediately cover chemical depots with air defense, and possibly by UN forces. Amerikos reptiles are so insidious that they can strike right after Assad unveils the placement of XO warehouses.

              It is clear that the United States is implementing a long-standing plan of action, the starting point of which, apparently, should be considered Iraq.
              Too much money and effort has been expended, and either a high probability of a military defeat or a consolidated rebuff to the world community can stop them.

              What step they will take can only be guessed.
              But there is no doubt that the United States will find a reason to launch an attack.

            Yes, you yourself know it - an example of the construction of settlements on Palestinian territory, and indeed the occupation of Palestine. The world community could have done a lot to stop this seizure of territories and who is the master there? As soon as the United States frees Syria from chemical weapons, overthrows Assad, plunges the country into chaos, someone will need to control the region and this will be Israel. I hope you will not argue that the main objectives of Israel are to expand its territories at the expense of neighboring states and control over the region? Or did Israel run to the UN to get permission from the world community to build their settlements on the land of Palestine?

            And what not?
            One of the main goals of the war unleashed against Syria was the elimination of its chemical weapons, since only it was Israel’s last deterrent in the region. This is written by Mikhail Osherov in the article "Syrian chemical weapons - a deterrence factor for Israel", published on the website of IA REX.
            Thus, the United States and Israel, without actually doing anything, achieved this goal for free, and with the wrong hands - the hands of Syrian bandits and international terrorists.
            This is a bit like a famous joke about how an American and a Russian tried to make a cat eat mustard. The Russian won the joke by spreading mustard on the cat's causal places, which she began to lick herself with a rumbling. “See how she eats mustard,” said the Russian. “Voluntarily and with songs.” In life, Syria and Russia are now voluntarily and with songs destroying the Syrian deterrence factor in the region.
            Syrian chemical weapons do not threaten the United States of America. Syria has no means of delivering it to the United States. The only country threatened by Syrian chemical weapons is Israel. Pay attention to how quickly the US leadership changed its attitude towards Syria as soon as it came to Syrian chemical weapons. Have you watched the film “The tail rotates the dog”? Who rules the United States of America now? Whose interests does her leadership serve?
            After the destruction of Syrian chemical weapons in one form or another under international control, the strategic balance in the region will be violated.
            Israel is not going to force anyone to destroy its atomic weapons yet.
            The destruction by Syria of chemical weapons or placing them under international control means the destruction of Israel’s last deterrent in the region and opens the door for Israel to attack Iran.http://n-idea.am/ru/comments.php?id=34698

              Actually, it’s written well and with meaning. What is Syria before the rest of the world, in many respects spitting and not noticing it. Israel? - not just a country, geography and neighbor live in a hostel. You need to have the greatest history, dignity, patrons, so that t. country to confront. This, if pleasing all the same, is the opposition of the Old Testament and its beliefs and the New, both from Jesus the Lord and regionally meaningful, conscious, and accepted from the followers of the religion of Islam. Therefore, any conflict in that region will always be the sum, the result, the component of the struggle of all these 3 possibilities and realities, exacerbated by the complex component of the mystery of the real forces behind it all. Although, there are only two of them in their purity and real power - light and darkness. Russia, as an external ideologist, is undoubtedly light. But as a real urgency in itself and in itself, something dubious for itself at the moment. Here is such a difficult game of sleep with sleep sleepy Spirit

              One of the main goals of the war unleashed against Syria was the elimination of its chemical weapons, since only it was Israel’s last deterrent in the region. This is written by Mikhail Osherov in the article "Syrian chemical weapons - a deterrence factor for Israel"

              Who knows what writes. This is a personal opinion of Osherov. How could Syria's chemical weapons harm Israel? In Israel, gas masks are distributed at every corner and a strong missile defense. There are almost no chances to strike at Israel, but the retaliatory strike of the USA and Israel will destroy Assad. So what's the point of this chemical weapon?
              Quote: Ruslan_F38
              In life, Syria and Russia are now voluntarily and with songs destroying the Syrian deterrence factor in the region.

              Nobody is going to destroy anything, but they are going to establish control and no chemical weapons are a deterrent. The nuclear weapons of the USSR were a deterrent to the United States; they did not start this third world war. And how can the chemical weapons of Syria be a deterrent if Israel has already applied air strikes in Syria 3 times ?!
              Quote: Ruslan_F38
              Pay attention to how quickly the US leadership changed its attitude towards Syria as soon as it came to Syrian chemical weapons.

              It was forced to do so. Obama has neither international support nor support for his own people. Under such circumstances, Obama does not want to start a war, all the same, he is not Bush and does not want to wave his saber much. A politician who associates himself as a peacekeeper who went to the polls with slogans about the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan cannot start a war. He wants to get out of the situation with a decent view. On the one hand, it seemed as if he had crossed the red line and he, as promised (otherwise no one in the world would take him seriously), was about to strike, on the other hand, as soon as he was offered a way out of the situation, he immediately agreed, it seems like we don’t want to fight and we can go to such conditions. Just today I watched on Euronews the rhetoric of Obama, Cameron, Holland before the proposal of the Russian Federation and immediately showed the current rhetoric.

              No, you are absolutely right, the voluntary transfer of chemical weapons under "international control" is exactly what the United States needs. At the same time, they achieve their goal without any war, and at the same time do not give anyone any guarantees.

        And this is about the same as nuclear weapons, everyone understands that retaliation will destroy the entire planet, and therefore do not attack Russia. I think the Jews will not particularly like it if chemical weapons, in the event of the start of the bombings, "accidentally" fall into the hands of Hezbollah or other terrorists, so the best thing is to take control of it in advance. And then you can again concoct some accusations and attack.

          The provocation will take place after the Amers push through a resolution in the UNPO on the elimination of chemical weapons by Syria - a "new red line". And then, after another provocation (a rocket with chemistry at Israel from the territory controlled by Assad), they will legally bomb as many as necessary. And it will be difficult to argue.

            I do not agree with you, although, of course, you can expect anything you want from them, but I think the RF proposal on chemical weapons is just an opportunity for the United States without losing face, so to speak, to "retire horses."

    I will allow myself to state my vision of the situation. I already said that the United States should have struck the previous night. Otherwise, the collapse of kaolitsiya. But Russia struck first. And much more painful for Americans than missiles. The blow was inflicted on the image of Abama and the United States as a whole.
    What happened? Why did they postpone the strike? Yes, everything is simple. We played to the Americans. Why hit? All these snot about the civilians of the filmkin letter. Where were the Americans when they bombed the same civilians in other countries? The task was completely different - destroy the chemical weapons of Syria as an alternative to the atomic weapons of Israel.
    As we see, the goal is almost achieved. And by much less means than planned.
    Yes, and the economy turned out to be a bummer for Abama. The Americans are mercantile and will consider every cent. The LAG agreed to finance the strikes, but on one, very important condition, is a ground operation in Syria. And this is for Abama a complete loss of American confidence. So now they go somewhere negotiations to the fullest about bucks for war.
    But in general, I agree with the author. We did not allow, although perhaps at the time of the killing of innocent people. We bought time to strengthen Syrian air defense. We forced the Americans to pay attention to the UN again.

    There is no chance to prevent a blow. the United States will still bomb Syria and try to overthrow Assad. If he takes away chemical weapons from Assad, he will have nothing to answer and restrain the nuclear potential of Israel. So strikes are inevitable - the United States will do everything to take control of the region and expand the borders of Israel. And all attempts by Russia to avoid conflict are on the side of the United States and others. It's time to understand - the United States is not interested in anyone's opinion.

    "The result of this strike should be to deter Assad from the use of chemical weapons, reducing the ability of his regime to use these weapons."

    And the increase in the possibilities of using chemical weapons by militants, and so-called allies of the United States, and not only Syrian citizens, are under attack.

    "The US ally - Israel - can protect itself, also enjoying the unwavering support of the United States."

    And this will be true until, in the end, the militants use the buried stockpile of chemical weapons in Israel, when the intensified surveillance abroad has weakened. Honestly, it is possible for militants to spit on Syria - the main thing is to take away chemical weapons and use them against sworn enemies - Gentiles.

    Where will the face of the United States be then? To put "friends" at risk - sorry ...

    I wonder why the ratio for / against 78 to one? Good mass media PR against war? But the Americans have more experience in this, but they didn’t succeed. Or is this the long-awaited manifestation of the beginnings of reason in the American people who do not want to fight? Or maybe the money is a pity?

    This is not a PR failure, here is the failure of the advocacy campaign.
    As you can see, in globalization, in this case information, there are pluses. People have a ton of alternative sources that Washington Glavpur has no power over.
    But the main thing, IMHO, is different. The amers and NATO, initially, did not have a unity of opinion and a single consistent line regarding Syria.

Motivation: In view of the fact that the countries included in these organizations consistently stand for the non-use of force in Syria. And within the UN, letting stripes into such control is certainly not a white flag at gunpoint, but almost.

The United States, through its mercenaries, provoked the genocide of the Syrian people. No excuses for the "opposition" can be accepted after such a bloody terror unleashed by al-Qaeda bandits with the direct participation of the US and EU countries.
    Russia, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, should take the initiative to investigate the crimes of the atrocious mercenaries of al-Qaeda and its subsidiary groups in the SAR.

    I read the article, and immediately realized that everything is much simpler than everything is stated. The USA and Russia divided the world into spheres of influence for a long time. Now it had to be fixed. All this many-way chess game, as I wrote earlier, was conceived by Two countries. One that would raise your tarnished image, on the other hand, in order to consolidate your influence and presence in the region. Let's see what happens, not to bomb Syria.? If you bomb, how will Russia look at it? If you don’t bomb, then again how will the observers react to this? party of the country.
    Russia currently does not have resources like the USSR, the states do not have the opportunity because of a colossal debt. (After all, war is not toys, but huge sums are thrown to the wind) The States drove their grouping into the Mediterranean Sea under the Syrian noise, and Russia drove its grouping , Now the question is when will these countries withdraw them? Yes, there is no time. A new operation is being prepared by the US Coalition Russia. Against whom? Against Iran, (it turns out like in a fairy tale about a bad uncle and a good one)
    What is it with Syria, yes on Wed ... it’s on her, she’s already in the Stone Age. Does she have a weapon or not? Both sides will have their bonuses in the future. Some will lend green paper, others will start restoring and, as a result, everyone will use the territorial economic and other riches of Syria for free. Assad will silently look at all this as a legitimately elected president, he will even be allowed to have his own toy army. That USA did not lose face and was knocked out under its presence is good, Russia is a true friend of Syria, had concessions for the restoration of Syria. And the development of wealth and territories. Putin and Lavrov are peacekeepers. The fleet will stand to the last as it alone is the guarantor of stability in the Middle East region.

Yes, at all times and constantly there is a struggle for spheres of influence. and "fluffy" Israel including, using every conceivable and unimaginable means. Yes, at this stage, they postponed a military strike on Syria, which most likely would have escalated into a major war across the planet. Personally, I am categorically against the death of my loved ones and relatives, friends and acquaintances, and just the inhabitants of my country. The US had to abandon the strike for now, most likely just postponed. To save his face, Obama will be puffed up to threaten and slowly deflate, he will be crushed by his own "hawks" on the one hand, on the other by opponents of the war. The economic situation in the country will deteriorate, the machine will print greenery in incredible quantities. We must wait for a new round of tension, which country will be next we will see.

    Recently, the problem of an open US attack on Syria has been widely discussed, but the main problem remains: the forces and means of the legitimate authorities are dwindling. Yes, Russia and China help with weapons on the world stage, but what to do with the militants? Even if the entire border of Syria is closed (and the successes about which they write in the press are true), how much will the army be able to defend against the "envoys". Qatar and Saudi Arabia still have a lot of money, alas. Victory (for Russia) will be only when a regime friendly to us remains in Syria. Everyone understands perfectly well that no one is interested in chemical weapons, victims, so this is just a play on words and forms. Another thing is that, in my opinion, there is very little left to wait for the real move, but so far no one knows what it will be (a tomahawk strike or a joker from Putin), so we stock up on popcorn and wait.

    The Republic of Belarus actively supported its allies:

    Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus

    In the context of recent threats from the United States to launch a missile attack on government and military targets in the Syrian Arab Republic, the Belarusian Foreign Ministry declares support for any international efforts that could prevent the outbreak of another conflict in the Middle East.
    In this regard, we welcome the initiative of the Russian Foreign Ministry to ensure international control over Syrian chemical weapons.
    We hope that the adoption of Russian proposals by the Syrian leadership will allow the United States to abandon any UN unauthorized military intervention and to avoid new casualties among Syrian citizens.
    The Republic of Belarus is convinced that the internal conflict in Syria can be resolved only through negotiations, and calls on the UN and all interested states to contribute to a peaceful settlement without the use of military force.

    Americans are able to count. The Americans constantly need a war in order to maintain their typewriter. If they thought it was more profitable to bomb, they would have bombed, and we would have been indignant. The success of our diplomacy is that they took a number of measures in time to make this bombing unprofitable. Till. Well done. And this is a real success. And rightly called - the success of diplomacy. Not a reversal of history, not a challenge of the threat completely, it is a success today. This is the strengthening of international authority, this is a struggle for the minds, in the end. I strongly hope that Assad will be able to successfully resist the bearded scum and his de facto will not be deprived of retaliation. Otherwise, temporary success will turn into the success of our peacekeepers in Kosovo. There is a lot of noise, but the result is the opposite. We will see. They will disarm Assad and strike at Syria - that means the Russian leadership is playing in the same deck. I don’t want to think so. I want to believe. I would like to hope that our grandchildren will not live in countries like Zimbabwe.
    Time has won. Given the current situation, I think a lot of time to replenish Assad’s arsenal of arguments. As I imagine (if he does not lose to the bearded men on land), the farther, the more expensive the action against him. A definite plus. So you can pull the rubber for a very long time. It is unlikely that the Americans will find a way to limit the printing press, so that time, in theory, works for Russia. And as I understand it, the longer, the more Middle Eastern tangle of contradictions will get confused. A definite plus. Later you can’t solve it simply by bombing. Help, help Assad! Doing business is sacred, selling him what he needs. The latest missile defense systems, multiple launch rocket systems ... The longer it stays idle, the higher authority and better commerce.

    The Russian fleet during exercises near the coast of Syria was practicing the interception of cruise missiles

    The Russian fleet, which yesterday started military exercises off the coast of Syria, working out the interception of cruise missiles on the characteristics similar to the type of American missiles "Tomahawk". It is reported by the American portal United States Marine Corps.

    According to the source referenced by the authors, Russian defiantly carried out military exercises and were part of the negotiations on the open radio frequencies, showing that they do not pose any difficulty to destroy American missiles.

    Meanwhile, no official information about the type of exercises Russian naval command is not available.

    Recall that the U.S. fears that Russia will transfer all the information about the Syrian situation at sea and in the air, which greatly complicate the U.S. aggression against Syria.

    One of these days, the “aircraft carrier killer” missile cruiser “Moskva” will approach the shores of Syria, and in addition to it, the Black Sea Fleet patrol ship “Smetlivy” will approach the shores of Syria in the near future. On September 29, two more Black Sea Fleet ships will arrive in the area of ​​the Syrian coast: the missile boat “Ivanovets” and the small missile ship “Shtil”. On Friday, a detachment of ships, including the BDK Novocherkassk (Black Sea Fleet) and Minsk (Baltic Fleet), as well as the reconnaissance ship Priazovye (Black Sea Fleet), passed the Dardanelles and became available to the command of the Mediterranean squadron, RIA Novosti reports.

    The Russian fleet in any case, regardless of the setting will scan the sea and airspace in the area of ​​deployment of the fleet. However, as already flashed information in the media, Russia, in theory, can transmit this information Syrian air defenses.

    Syria is armed with the latest Russian air defense systems “Pantsir-С1 ″, which are capable of destroying American cruise missiles of the type“ Tomahawk ”. ZRPK “Carapace” was just (and so far, apparently) intended mainly to combat flying Tomahawk type cruise missiles and low-flying (maneuvering) enemy targets, which for some reason broke through the air defense barrier. Tests of the “Carapace” showed that the complex is capable of shooting down low-flying missiles, including at a record low altitude of 15 meters.

    BDK "NIKOLAY FILCHENKOV" WITH ANTI-TERROR GROUP ON BOARD IS HEADING TO SYRIAN TARTUS

    The large landing ship (LHD) of the Black Sea Fleet "Nikolai Filchenkov" left Novorossiysk today heading for the Bosphorus-Dardanelle strait zone, after which it will go to the Syrian port of Tartus - the location of the logistics support center of the Russian Navy. This was reported to ITAR-TASS today by a source at the Novorossiysk naval base.

    “Nikolai Filchenkov,” which has an anti-terrorism group on board, will deliver military equipment and other material assets to Tartus, which it received during a five-day stay at the pier in Novorossiysk,” the agency’s interlocutor said.

    According to him, the Black Sea Fleet patrol ship Smetlivy will accompany the BDK on its way to Syria, which, according to the plan, should leave Sevastopol on September 12. “Smart” will catch up with “Nikolai Filchenkov” in a day or two and will accompany him to Tartus, where he will not go himself, but will stand in the port roadstead. After unloading the BDK, both ships will sail north and become part of the permanent operational formation of the Navy operating in the eastern region of the Mediterranean Sea,” the source clarified.

    According to his information, already this week, after the transatlantic passage, the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the guards missile cruiser Moskva, will enter the Mediterranean Sea and join the permanent operational formation of the Navy, and at the end of September, as planned, the group will be replenished by two more combat units of the Black Sea Fleet - small the Shtil missile ship and the Ivanovets missile boat.

    The interlocutor recalled that last Friday the BDK Novocherkassk (Black Sea Fleet) and Minsk (Baltic Fleet), after passing through the strait zone, became part of the Mediterranean group of the Navy, and the Black Sea reconnaissance ship Priazovye began monitoring the situation directly off the coast of Syria.

    At the beginning of September, the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Defense decided to strengthen efforts to cover the situation near the coast of Syria.

    it's done! our dull mid has at least said something reasonable. perhaps they will be smart enough to finally propose international military intervention in Syria, but under the UN flag, and now, within the framework of such a “legitimate” invasion, to protect their beloved Assad and his pet sect from “international terrorists.”

    This is just the beginning! A correct comparison with a chess game. We made a great move, but the whole fight is still ahead! If they start bombing (they give us a check), it will be interesting to see Volodya’s reaction. It seems like we don’t want our guys to die in war, but we can’t leave it without an answer... Then the (diplomatic) cutting will begin! But I still hope that there will be no war!

    Here's the next move: Russia is sending a couple of battalions to control and guard chemical weapons. YES, not ordinary paratroopers, but brothers in faith, such as the Chechen “West” and “East”! We get a bunch of advantages: hardly anyone will dare to attack very well-trained brothers, the Chechens will get a job they love and well-paid, Assad will free up some of the troops he needs so much! And to touch our peacekeepers is to get Georgia 2008

      the fact of the matter is that in Russia there are no Assad brothers in faith, our Muslims are basically brothers in faith of the Syrian opposition
