Russia and the intensification of the Syrian issue

Against the backdrop of increased violence in Syria, Russia is beginning to sag under pressure from the West. Earlier, Russia invariably blocked the adoption of the UN resolution on Syria. Although Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, after meeting with British Prime Minister David Cameron (12 September), has already said that Russia will support the resolution if it is addressed to both parties to the internecine conflict.

Now the representative of Russia in the UN, Vitaly Churkin, declared that Moscow could support the Syrian resolution. According to him, the main thing is to “stop the violence and start a political process,” which will lead to the reform of the system and calm the people.

The West demands a resolution that will condemn violence. Thus, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe believes that the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad has completely lost its legality and was late in reforming the country.

Currently there are two draft resolutions on Syria - proposed by Paris, London, Berlin, Lisbon and the second, softer, Russian. The European option offers a condemnation of violence and the imposition of sanctions if violence in the country is not stopped. Moscow supports only the call for an immediate cessation of violence, but not the imposition of sanctions in any volume against Syria.

Beijing supports the position of Russia, considering that unilateral sanctions against Syria may contribute to the development of events according to the Libyan scenario.

Increased violence in Syria

- On September 26, several soldiers were killed and 14 captured army officers, they were ambushed in the town of Kusayr near the Syrian-Lebanese border. This city is located in the region of Homs, which for Syria in recent months has become the scene of the fiercest clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement forces. According to the Syrian government, there are “armed gangs” of Islamist rebels in this province who are planning to build an Islamic state in Syria. The Syrian opposition claims that armed soldiers and officers who deserted from the army have armed resistance to government troops because they do not want to kill their fellow citizens and have gone over to the side of the rebels for the sake of protecting civilians.

- Colonel of the Syrian Air Force Riyadh Musa Asad announced the creation of the “Free Army of Syria”, which will lead the armed struggle for the liberation of the state from the regime of Bashar al-Assad. According to him, the basis of the rebel army will be deserters, Sunni soldiers who fled from the Syrian armed forces in protest against the use of violence against fellow citizens.

- For several days now there has been a military operation in the city of Rastan (the city was surrounded on September 26): the army is trying to crush the resistance of deserters from the Khalid bin Walid brigade. According to the opposition, up to a thousand people put up armed resistance, government troops inflict artillery strikes and use helicopters, air strikes.

“According to Al-Arabia, the command of the Syrian army brigade, Al-Kharmush, has taken over the opposition. The rebels reported the murder of 80 people from various power structures of the country - the General Directorate of Security, from the Shabiha units (these are pro-government Alawite militias).

Syria needs to be harnessed with arms and legs, otherwise in the west, in America, they have completely lost their fear. Medvedev for such things, too, then wash his snot. What is politics? Toli thinks, like Stalin, the time to win for rearmament, is it easier to lick, will they take him for his own? I don’t understand what he wants, if only he said it in my ear.

[Vadivak]

It seems war has begun

[Roman Skomorokhov]

Seem to be...
The only pity is that now ... If you were to stretch until March, then there would be someone with weak character removed from the Supreme Command, you see, and the position would become harder.

B% I, is it really only here that we are so "smart" that we understand for Syria?

[DEfindER]

Yes, damn it, once again I’m convinced that our government acts absolutely against the will of the People, our whole country was against aggression in Libya, and our prez licked again .. And at the expense of Syria, this is generally a complete fucking dad. there’s not even an information war, and so it’s clear that the Syrians do not want any invasion .. If he supports the next aggression, then he will be just an enemy of People No. 1 !!!
Although his policy is in full view, everything is clear, even Iran’s refusal to S-300 contrary to all the rules, he wanted to take the initiative damn it to wag his tail in front of his puppeteer, it didn’t work ..

[Marat]

I may repeat myself again - but all of Russia's current troubles have only 2 reasons

1. The collapse of the Union - an empire - capable of pursuing a policy independent of the pendostan (both external and internal)
2. The coming to power of the oligarchs and their privatization of strategic industries - which even under the most "free capitalism" should have remained in the hands of the people (state)

Therefore, I am campaigning for the revival of the Union (to become stronger - more) - and secondly - for the Communist Party (to become fairer - more honest)

Even if we correct one of the problems - it will already be possible for the people to live better - both the army will be strengthened and the Syrians and Persians will receive support and breathe calmer

[ytqnhfk]

I’m bastard before these S-300s would be sold through 3 countries, and then prove everything then that it’s not a ram!

[Siberian]

Quote: "Colonel of the Syrian Air Force Riyad Musa Assad announced the creation of the" Free Syrian Army "...".
I remember that we also had an Air Force general who announced the creation of an independent republic.

[Volkhov]

Russia is not sovereign, as they order, they will vote - the word We are 25 years behind the state in relation to the state. The army is being prepared for war, but for foreign purposes - the Foreign Legion at the place of residence.

[Mesniy]

All regimes denying democratic principles come to an end, merge one after another, and that’s great.
Soon, edrososia - medveputia will grunt. The last komunyak can smell it and bliss.
When feudalism was falling apart, there was probably the same panic.

Not by washing, so by skating the Pindos will first incline the Russian Federation, then the PRC for sanctions against Syria. It is a matter of time, and apparently short. And then a military operation as an obligatory attribute of the modern "democratic" time. The point is different. World imperialism is really spreading its wings. If Karl Marx lived now, he scientifically substantiated the next phase of the predatory struggle of world capital for spheres of influence (resources for development) in the post-socialist world. There are many capital centers in the world, including Beijing and Moscow. Currently, there is a struggle for leadership on a global scale in the long term. And here it will not do without a world war, into which we are smoothly entering, as it was in 1914, 1939. The cost of war is global leadership in a global world ruled by transnational corporations without a clear link to nation states. Despite the views of the theorists of Marxism, capitalism managed to survive the socialist era, did not adapt badly and hid for a while, showed its sociality in a number of prosperous Western countries (Scandinavian countries of Europe, etc.) And today it has changed again and shows its true (bloody) face ... The world business and political elite decides the fate of the world without regard for the rights of a free person, hiding behind democratic values ​​and conducting military operations against rogue states. Sooner or later, Russia will become an outcast country. If he does not vote against Syria at the UN, if he delivers the S-300 to Iran or another "non-democratic" country. The transformation of the world is in full swing, and the goals are the creation of a global center of control, a world government and the subordination of all to this world evil. Western capital today is fighting against the capital of the East for future sales markets and resource base. Peacefully, Western civilization may simply collapse with the simultaneous flourishing of Eastern civilization, which is what the West fears. And Russia, in the opinion of the West, should become a platform for the struggle, a participant in the battle as it was in the 1st and 2nd World War. It must be admitted that Russia, having become a capitalist country, has itself become a cog in the global mechanism of capital management. And our leaders (be it Medvedev or Putin) do not really control the situation, because they play the game not by their own, but by someone else's rules. World capital has penetrated into the Russian Federation and forced all of us to live according to the same strict rules, for the sake of the profit of capital owners. And who is the owner of capital in Russia ?! Why is capital flowing out of the country on such a scale?
You should not abandon Syria, it is necessary to resist to the last attempts of the West to bring down the country and stability in the region, because Israel, Iran are strategic strongholds nearby, on which stability in the region remains.
