The United States recalled its ambassador from Syria.The US recalled its ambassador from Syria for security reasons. According to US State Department spokesman Mark Toner, the US embassy in Syria and the residence of Ambassador Robert Ford have been attacked by supporters of President Bashar al-Assad because of the condemnation by the US of the actions of the Syrian authorities. R.Ford left Syria on the morning of October 22 after a series of unpleasant incidents indicating growing aggression in parts of Syrian society. It is not yet known when R.Ford will return to Syria. This will depend on the development of the situation in the country, the State Department spokesman concluded, reports Associated Press.

Earlier, American diplomats reported that recently articles in the Syrian press began to appear more often with reproaches and criticisms of R. Ford.

Meanwhile, the United States has not yet decided on further decisions on the Syrian issue. According to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the opposition has not yet asked for help from the United States in the fight against President B. Asad.

In Syria, since March 2011. mass demonstrations of those displeased with the ruling regime continue. Participants in the unrest demanded the resignation of the country's President B. Assad and political reforms. Syrian authorities suppress unauthorized protests, including using army units. The United States and the European Union imposed a series of sanctions against the Syrian leadership, and the UN Security Council condemned the open violation of human rights and weapons against civilians.

However, the adoption of a resolution on Syria in the UN Security Council failed, as Russia and China, opposing interference in the internal affairs of the country and the unilateral use of sanctions, put a veto on the document.

Syria continues to receive information about alleged reprisals against the opponents of B. Assad. However, this data is often not confirmed.

      the opposition has not yet requested US assistance in the fight against President B. Assad.

      This is not a show, this is some kind of circus, only harlequins are real killers, and the states seem to have any opposition to the existing legitimate government causing an attack of inadequate mutual assistance
      For example, the United States annually allocates about 10 million dollars. For the needs of the "Belarusian" opposition, the Cuban opposition $ 80 million, $ 25 million for the Libyan opposition. The States allocated $ 28 million for the Kazakh opposition. Even the Georgian opposition is $ 26 million.

        the circus has left, the clowns have been forgotten, only the entreprise is no longer funny. I wonder how much we have allocated for the information struggle, or is this direction already forgotten?

    And I wonder if in the state of Idaho the Indians decide that the president is shit and he must be overthrown, Obama will feed these Papuans with buns and throw bucks on "democratic reforms"? Or all the same, he will loathe the separatists, not giving a damn about the "will" of the people? Syria has long been like a bone in the throat of the Yankees, and to gouge it is the sacred right of the United States (as well as any other country).

    But what about the Occupy Wall Street action? It is understandable that they just started, they got over it later, but this is purely due to lack of experience.

    Spins the next gadstva. And I think that now it will be unwound forcefully, because in the states and in Europe, to say the least, it is restless. Sarkozy won as naskienny rushes about, and why? Germany has its own views on Europe, which do not really fit together with the Kolyanovs.

    Be a show, and soon.

    Two things are alarming, the first is the recall of the ambassador, the second is that "the opposition has not yet asked the US for help in the fight against President B. Assad." That is, in translation from the political language into the military, we are ready and waiting for the go-ahead to start a war. And any far-fetched provocation or statements of dissatisfied about protection from the tyrant Assad will be enough, and democratic bombs will begin to sow freedom, kindness and happiness in the country enslaved by the tyrant-Assad.

    Rzhunimagu !!!
    In Russia, the US Embassy fired from military weapons 2! times !!! Once pissed by the crowd!
    In Syria, the US Embassy was showered with tomatoes! And they immediately tensed in a childish way and recalled the ambassador: "Oooo, how offended we are !!!"
    Against the weak "gut is not thin"!

      pissed - yes it is hooligans !!! They shot from the border - it happens, but the weapon is understandable as a crowbar! Why should an ambassador be afraid? But tomatoes are horror and horror of the 21st century !!!!! These were clearly "vegetables from Europe" that could be infected with the new "Eurovirus" am You can simultaneously accuse the regime of using a weapon (do not care that this is not so), and supporting dissatisfied farmers who are offended by such treatment of tomatoes to bomb another country wink NATO will more than once lead the troops to the victory of "democracy", although they are still following the path of insanity.

    The "opposition" is probably waiting for the states to finally finish with Libya. Why overextend the "virtues"? "Good" deeds also tire, let them rest a bit and then further improve the lives of oppressed peoples, shooting and bombing - pleasant and useful.
    And this is done by a country in which the uninhabited local population in the reservation was driven up, and even 60 years ago the Negroes even had seats in public transport in the back, as in the lower class.

    If the ambassador is recalled, it’s bad. War is getting ready. Moreover, full-scale, with the involvement of third forces (NATO member states).

    The series continues - we just watched the "Libya" series. How do you like the script, the direction and how do you like the acting? Sit comfortably, a new series called "Syria" begins, but the "TV people" are in a hurry where there is neither a commercial break, nor a social video for you - "bloody Assad chops off the heads of babies" soon you will completely lose all your professional qualities. Cheap serials are, at the very least, an average man hawking, but a cheap non-professional serial is a direct blow to ratings.

    Yes, I'm not funny either.

    If a NATO military operation in Syria begins, Iran is likely to be drawn into it.
    The war may drag on for more than one year.
    This will allow the Russian Federation to gain time and rearm.
    We should not forget that the PRC (potential US adversary) is also arming intensively.
    It is doubtful that the United States would give us time to rearm.
    Too expensive, then, this gift will cost them.

    So the war does not wait long! The Americans always carry out the evacuation of their deep missions before the military operation. And the reason for the evacuation, you can call any - even diarrhea !!!

    Yes, it’s not easy that the American ambassador escaped from Syria. Something they stir up. Truth in Syria is our naval base in Tartus. It is unlikely that they will risk slipping in without UN sanction if our iPod lovers do not surrender.
