Ernest: Russian presence in Syria can talk about the weakness of Moscow’s position in the region

White House spokesman Josh Ernest suggested that RF activity in Syria may be a sign of weakness, and not strength, as many assume, reports RIA News.

“Syria is the last support that Russia has in the Middle East. It is difficult to say that Russia's actions are based on confidence in their position in the Middle East ", - Said the spokesman at the briefing.

“Actually, there are many reasons to think that they are reacting in Syria from the position of the weak because they are concerned about changes in the country,” he said.

At the same time, Ernest said that Washington and Moscow "should consider the common interests that they can share in Syria."

On the eve of the White House said that now they are clear goals of Russia in the region - "to protect the Syrian government and fight the IG grouping."

Earlier, Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow "has never concealed that it has provided and will provide the Syrian leadership with military-technical support for the fight against terrorism in accordance with the existing contracts and international law."

Yes Yes. The Russians again surpassed us with their weakness ...

[Penetrator]

And what about the presence of US military bases around the world? Based on this logic, the States are the weakest state.

Perverts are over! There are no Us in Syria, weak, there are We in Syria, again weak ...?!
Masters of distorting information ....., they would say in Russian: "we pissed off with Mighty Russia to communicate, especially together with China and Iran !!!

Still, people in the west are degrading if they absorb such stupid informational slag. You know, this is more like a religious and ideological assurance that you are right than information supported by facts.

True, in Russia, this is also often used in the media, but at least we believe (or do not believe) not in the interests of a "other" state, such as in Europe.

They will fly out much earlier (teeth). They are also inserted in them.

So they live on the other side of the globe, and therefore their logic is turned upside down.

The weakest and the CEST.

[the righteous]

This applies to the United States and not to Russia.

[Now we are free]

Syria is the last pillar Russia has in the Middle East. It’s hard to say that Russia's actions are built on confidence in their position in the Middle East ”
Well, thanks to the United States that even though they didn’t call us Gays ... Usually people who call them Gays do not already have any arguments to answer their interlocutor.

And in fact...
The USA has received at this moment a sickly Buthert in the form of seriously taking up Syria:
-Russia
1. Ensuring the supply of energy carriers to Europe through the territory of the Middle East as Moscow wants and nothing else.
2. The exit of the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean and the breakthrough of the "Black Sea blockade" (with access to Middle-earth, oh Mediterranean) which the United States and its satellites wanted to arrange for Russia.
3. The ability to influence the political and economic processes taking place in the Middle East with the help of "Politely" military bases located in Syria (and then, possibly, Lebanon).
4. Stopping the spread of Islamist terrorism (which was actively fed by "Probable Partners") outside their borders.
-China
1. Obstacle to the US and its satellites attempting to strangle China through an economic / geopolitical blockade (China's aircraft carrier in Syrian Tartus is a VERY VERY ARGUMENT).
2. An exit to the Mediterranean with the possibility of strengthening the grouping of the Chinese Navy / Air Force in the region and increasing the number of bases in the Mediterranean as opposed to US bases, which automatically implies undermining American positions in Europe occupied by them.
3. Reincarnation and strengthening with the help of the "Syrian window" of the new "Silk Road" from China to Europe, as opposed to the US attempts to cut the "Europe money-China commodity" so much needed now by China.
4. As in Russia -Cupting the spread of Islamist terrorism (which was actively fed by "Probable Partners") outside its borders.
-Iran
1. The possibility, under the guise of the Navy / Air Force of Russia and China, to finally reverse the eternal dispute between the Sunites and Shiites in the Middle East in their own direction, in contrast to the SA, UAE, and Qatar.
2. The ability to finally throw off the yoke of sanctions.
3. Opportunity to start talking more "Cool" with Israel, which now will not be able to make air raids on its infrastructure with the same ease, because two great friends of Iran, China and Russia, whose planes and ships will still be VERY CLOSE to Israel, will not approve that it offends their younger brother, who bears the brunt of the ground war in the form of Hezbollah and the IRGC with ISIS ...
In general, while the United States was trying to catch Russia with its "Ukrainian pimple", America itself had a Big Hemorrhoid that gives metastases, which is why the United States will in the near future have no time for the "Dillers" ...

[Vitaly Anisimov]

There is such a saying ... "EVERYTHING SHOULD BE DONE ON TIME ..." And that time has come! Syria has endured and has shown itself that it can fight, even when completely surrounded!

And such a time has come!

Again this Josh is pissing!
Russia's behavior only says that we do not drag chestnuts out of the fire with someone else's hands, as the United States does with the hands of its ISIS mercenaries and the so-called. "opposition", supplying them with weapons in such a way that the whole world cries out.
And more :: but we DO NOT RENT YOURSELF, as the smoked president does.

[uhu189]

You know, this saying just in the case of Syria does not fit. They lost a lot of time, Syria could not be saved within its former borders, a third of the population became refugees, the economy was destroyed, very large casualties among the military without any clear prospects of victory over the Islamists supported by the West. I'm afraid our troops were there in order to save that little that still can be saved. And the most important thing is that we are not drawn into the new war by the very same Shtatovs, they are great craftsmen of this business. Moreover, in the Donbass the situation is still very far from a solution that is beneficial for Russia.

[Polite Moose]

Quote: MIKHAN

There is such a saying ... "EVERYTHING SHOULD BE DONE ON TIME ..." And that time has come! Syria has withstood and proved itself

Yeah. As they say: each vegetable has its own time. And the time has come for Russia to act in Syria. The determining factor for the start of Russia's active actions here was rather not the resilience of Syria, but the instability of Europe in front of the flow of refugees. If a year ago Russia had started the transfer of its planes to Syria, then the entire "democratic" gadyushnik would howl and stand on the opposite side. And now nothing, they tacitly approve. The time will come when the second front will be opened.

Ernest: Russian presence in Syria can talk about the weakness of Moscow’s position in the region

Well, of course, does Russia's absence in Syria mean that it speaks of Moscow's strong position in the region? Well Ernest wrapped it up, so wrapped it up! Who is he holding us for? So the American presence in Syria may indicate the weakness of Washington's positions in the region? So remove your ISIS from there, and your position there will immediately "strengthen"!

I think this news is suitable here:
Evelyn Farkas, who is in charge of the Pentagon for military ties with Russia and Ukraine, will step down at the end of October.
Farkas holds the post of First Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia. In this capacity, she participated in the allocation of more than $ 240 million of military assistance to Ukraine, the termination of contacts with the Russian military amid disagreements with Moscow, as well as in the recent discussions of the Pentagon, the Department of State and the White House on how to respond to the Russian military presence in Syria. Among other results of work, Farkas called the strengthening of military cooperation with Georgia and support for Montenegro's entry into NATO.
She is stepping down from her post at a time when there is a "deep division" in the administration regarding the supply of advanced weapons to the Ukrainian government and the response to Russian actions in Syria, Politico notes. Farkas is also seen as a hardliner with Russia.

An interesting statement.
Is this boy in himself?

Those. if any country reacts to change somewhere, is that a sign of weakness?

No.
This is for you, Mr. Ernest, a sign of schizophrenia.

some are better off chewing than talking, well, or at a pinch to think a little bit (I understand that it’s very difficult for them) before saying something like that

[1536]

Well, the weakest state is the United States, which for fear is deploying its armed forces and navy in all corners of the planet! We did not doubt it.

[anderles66]

Presumably, the position of the strong usually consists in observing the fight from behind the curtains on the tenth floor. That's the power, so the power. The force, it seems to me, is not in military participation, but simply in participation despite Western hysteria over Assad. I read good analytics on Syria here three years ago on the website and it became clear to me what Satanovsky and Bagdasarov were talking about when they claimed that the Syrians had only two options - to win or die. Moreover, the second option is possible in two versions - to die in battle, with weapons in their hands or just be cut out. Assad’s departure will not solve anything.

[rotmistr60]

The stupidest statement I've heard in the past week. There were stupid, Russophobic statements, but this had yet to come up.

If you think so, then whose weak position. If you look at the map, then where are the bases of the "light elves" Japan, South Korea, the euro collective farm (FRG, etc.) I correctly understood the presence of "light elves" in all these countries, can it speak of a weak position of the thane in the world?

The next statement of this idiot shows that Russia must be reckoned with. Got snot here and wipe it.

The Yankees, as usual, engage in verbiage. Increased aid to Assad strengthened Russia's position in the region and weakened the position of the United States. Now Obama has agreed that Assad does not need to be changed immediately.

The representative of the White House, Josh Ernest, suggested that the activity of the Russian Federation in Syria may be a sign of weakness, and not strength, as many assume, reports RIA Novosti.

The presence of US military bases around the world is a sign of the weakness of Americans in the world.

Yes, we are weak - proven by history, heaped up by the Yankees business in the east, now they’re bullshit

[atamankko]

When Russia was weaker, you did not fuss like that, gentlemen of the Americans.

[narval20]

Judging by the statement of Mr. Ernest in the "camp of the enemy, complete confusion reigns" - they (the Americans) clearly did not expect SUCH developments in Syria and at the UN Assembly. So they are engaged in verbiage, without giving an account of the meaning of words.

[nivander]

US presence in Okinawa .on Diego Garcia and almost 800 more bases speaks of their weakness in those regions

[AdekvatNICK]

“President of Russia V.V. Putin, on the basis of paragraph “d” of part 1 of article 102 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, has submitted to the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation a proposal to adopt a resolution of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on consent to the use of the contingent of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation outside the territory of the Russian Federation on the basis of generally recognized principles and international law, ”the statement said on the Kremlin’s website.

The USA knows where their weak point in BV is ... and Russia too! We start digging there ...
I think the staff will start cleaning up all these "schemes" and urgently! And our fighters in Syria are a cover! Here's an interesting infa ... The striped ones woke up! Want to seize the initiative ..? Oh well...

WASHINGTON, September 30. / Corr. TASS Anton Chudakov /. The State Department announced on Tuesday a reward of $ 5 million for information that will eliminate the financial schemes of the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group.
The agency "announced a reward for information that would disrupt the oil and antiquities trade that benefits IS," the State Department said in a statement. "The Secretary of State has appointed a reward of up to $ 5 million for this information," the department explained.

According to the State Department, thanks to the trade in hydrocarbons and antiquities from Syria and Iraq, IS militants receive "millions of dollars in hard currency, which allows them to mock and oppress civilians."
The department noted that the reward for such information is announced for the first time.
IS is an Islamist terrorist organization, in 2013-2014 it operated under the name "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (ISIS) mainly in Iraq and Syria. In June 2014, she announced the creation of an "Islamic Caliphate" (a state with a Sharia form of government) in the occupied territories and renamed it "Islamic State".
According to CIA estimates, the group numbers about 30 thousand people, the Iraqi authorities say 200 thousand. The Islamists include citizens of 80 states, including France, Great Britain, Germany, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, the USA, Canada; RF, as well as other CIS countries. According to some reports, now militants control 40% of the territory of Iraq and about 50% of Syria.

4 years bastards have shaped and debugged all this ... We remember Chechnya!

[sharp-lad]

Let them start by checking the activities of the State Department and the CIA!

[V.ic]

Russian activity in Syria may be a sign of weakness, not strength,

Well, it was, they did not go to aggravation with sworn "partners" ... Srael bombed Syrian warehouses with military equipment supplied by the Russian Federation. However, as soon as Moscow indicated an increase in the amount of Russian equipment and military specialists present, like the shitty guys quickly rushed to Moscow (obviously with proposals so that they would not inadvertently fall under the hot hand), the main Turk pricked up his skis there, but he didn’t leave with a grain of salt ... Were you weak? Let's be strong!

[Volzhanin]

At the same time, Ernest said that Washington and Moscow "should consider the common interests that they can share in Syria."
In principle, the Americans and I cannot have common interests in Syria.
Ernest is the same nerd as 90% of his compatriots!

[Taygerus]

According to their logic, Yeltsin’s Russia was then simply a super strong power, and now we suddenly become exhausted when the military and economic potential of Russia grew, as they say, the dogs bark the caravan goes on, let them be deceived further and believe in their exceptionalism

Already tired of this nonsense American listen. Statements that do not stand elementary arguments against. Does this mean the strength of the US administration?

[Riv]

Empty concussion by another American politician. They still cannot understand who they are dealing with. Judo’s judo belt was hung not for beautiful eyes. When you went on the tatami against an experienced judoka, you can be sure: if he began to move, then this movement will end with a throw. You can be stronger than him physically, or be a boxer, or a master Jedi, but if he took the first step, then you either need to use some kind of oncoming technique, or you will be abandoned.

So it was with the Crimea - the probability of avoiding the throw was zero. At first nobody just understood what was happening, and then it was too late. So it was with the DNI and LC when the Ruin was caught in the oncoming traffic. Until now, the Hohlovermacht thinks where all their equipment has gone. The same thing is happening in Syria - the cast has already begun. It remains only to fall correctly.

And let the Americans pray to their Protestant god so that judo does not suddenly change to karate.

[cherkas.oe]

Verbiage. They carry some sort of nonsense at a loss and race. Or the stupid people themselves, or consider everyone around them as such. But since all these pearls are mainly for internal use, you can strongly not steam and not discuss the bullshit of these gray goats.

[Wolka]

weakness is precisely in the entire irresponsible policy of the White House, and Putin directly pointed this out in his speech at the UN General Assembly: "Look what you have done ...", as he poked naughty kittens with his nose, now the Yankees are trying in every possible way to justify themselves to the world. ..

Of course, Syria must be supported in the fight against bad guys. But, in my opinion, help with equipment and aviation is not enough.
The West is bombing ISIS using aircraft. The effect is zero. We will supply aviation. So what? Are our planes better?
There will be more tanks and artillery. Will the fracture come? I think no.
Need infantry. And here the question arises, but where to get it? At the same time, the masses cannot be defeated. Armies are not effective against partisans. Recall Chechnya, and before that Bandera. In the first they were finished off by special forces, in the second by the NKVD.
GDP said that there will be no ground operations on our part. The Syrians and Kurds remain. But it seems that Assad does not stick with the Kurds. Turkey works against the Kurds. Against the Syrian army of Israel.
In addition, the territory and the people on it are Muslims who are not tolerant of infidels.
In a word, a theater is much more complicated and worse than Afghanistan.
The sanctions against us have not been lifted. The economy, alas. And the "brothers" dream of fighting the Russian Federation and liberating the Crimea. Say nonsense? So after all Sahaki went the same. And Sahak cannot run after the "brothers".
The willingness of the West and the States to draw us into this war is also suspicious. I think that their dream is to bring down our economy, to finish it off.
Another important point. Advocates. They were not in the USSR. In the Russian Federation abound. Remember how famous S. Kovalev crap in Chechnya? Recently they showed how the Saudis bombed a wedding in Yemen, under 100 people killed. And silence. God forbid, they will kill us 10 times less than civilians and Obama and Merkel will scream to the whole world about the atrocities of our army. Well, of course, apple and sprat states will not lag behind. I think the supply of equipment will simply stretch this war in time. And they will add the enemies of the Russian Federation.
But something needs to be done. GDP is a cautious person and thought already 100 times

[Xergey]
