Reuters: Washington Losing Influence in the Middle East

Journalists Reuters write that Russia seized the initiative from the United States. The analytical material of the news agency states that the failure of Obama’s “new” military doctrine became apparent literally a year and a half after its (doctrine) adoption. We are talking about the doctrine that Obama very emotionally represented at the Academy of West Point.

RIA News leads the translation of a fragment of material Reuters:

In Syria, US-trained opposition fighters hand over ammunition and ammunition to al-Qaeda fighters. In Iraq, the struggle of American-backed government forces against the Islamic State has reached an impasse. In Afghanistan, the Taliban seized the capital of one of the provinces, the first time since their expulsion in 2001 year. Despite US investments in countering terrorism, estimated at least at $ 90 billion, Obama didn’t find enough reliable allies to take responsibility on the battlefield, and it seems he couldn’t find enough suitable options. to save the situation.

Further, Reuters analysts say that the seizure of Moscow’s initiative in the fight against terrorism completely stunned Washington.

Reuters:

Unexpected actions by Russia (...) demonstrated the erosion of Washington’s influence in this region (in the Middle East).

The material says that recently a number of politicians in the United States criticized President Obama for his indecisiveness in actions of a forceful nature. This leads, according to Reuters journalists, to the fact that the American president rushes from side to side, demonstrating the rashness of actions and decisions. Obama is trying to show, as it were, that he remains a strong president, moreover he is ready for a compromise, but in the end everything leads to the fact that the States seem to be losing their solvency in the international arena.

Sounds good, but Americans are not the players who give up

It is necessary to look very carefully around - this is too insidious enemy.

We can be hooligans, but Americans have no equal in the fight against competitors

- and here they can be anyone, and hooligans and bandits and maniacs

And what does the competition have to do with it?
I don’t think that in Russia there are still adots who are going to butt in the raw-material country with the leader of industrial production - under our Pr-ve, the States will crush us like a goat !.

What, competition is present only in the economy?

So they are trying to crush us, to avoid any possibility of occurrence

uncontrolled competitor.

We have areas with them where the competition is very strong -
weapons,
energy
nuclear energy
space
...

and most importantly, that Europe would not get in touch with Russia so much that

the United States ceases to obey, i.e. Russia's loss will hit Europe too much

[Petrovich1952]

at our Prospect, the States will crush us like a booger!. they’re afraid to swallow dust they’re used to using others' hands to rake in the heat

[shark]

You should not think that they did not crush us for a reason of enormous patience and humanism. Believe me, if you could crush, you would do it a long time ago. So I think your thoughts about the raw materials appendage provocative. About alternative economic management, no, have not you heard?

[hydrox]

You see how the liberals do not like any indication of the impotence of the liberal Pr-v of Russia.
For those who are on armored personnel carriers: the head of the Republic is not President Putin, but the Prime Plus.

This is scary! And what if they suddenly begin to help their bitch children quietly?

[Beitari]

The weakening of America's position in the world is due to the weakness and mediocrity of the current president. The situation will change after the presidential election, especially if the Republican wins

[Kosta]

Yes, nothing has changed yet, ISIS has disappeared?
So far, no success has actually been achieved. Everyone says that the IS is already disappearing from airstrikes. But tell me someone. The areas that bombed this Al-Ltamneh, north of Hama. There is no IG (maybe the journalists simply confused, if not, please clarify someone).
So far it's all gaining popularity with big names

“But one should not exaggerate their moral potential.”
When there are emergency options - they will rustle. When an unambiguous priest is writhing, they surrender as cute. The experience of World War II showed this. In the Ardennes they would have slammed them; a little time and weather was not enough for the German semi-divisions *.

* They were divisions only on paper - a strong understaffing of military personnel and equipment affected. In addition, the most combat-ready units were on the Eastern Front.

[iConst]

Quote: bulvas

That's just the point, when it is writhing - they depart

Waste - this is a fallback - the choice is to leave or die.

History has not preserved many facts when the Anglo-Saxons chose the latter of these two options.
And of course, there are many legends about endurance ...

That's just the point, when it makes it hard, they move away, but do not give up their goal, begin to look for an alternative way to achieve it, even if it is extended in time.

As Churchill said:

- Americans always do the right thing
after trying everything else


In short, you can’t yawn, you can strengthen the achievements and never calm down and never stop.

This is not quite in the character of the Russians, but it will have to change

Quote: Siberia55

The sunset of the hegemonic era of the United States. Dawn of a new era of a multipolar world ...

For the third day, I watch the Russian media relish Obama's meeting with Putin. "Vladimir Vladimirovich won, won, convinced, the end of the unipolar world has come, and so on."

Here it is necessary to clarify who met with whom, or rather, what met with what.

This 360 million active and increasing number of people in the United States met with 140 million endangered people of the Russian Federation.

This 25% of the world's diversified GDP met with 1,5%, and raw materials.

This is the meeting of the creditor country with its debtor, since all banks and commodity companies in Russia and the entire post-Soviet space owe to American banks.

These are 11 ultramodern US aircraft carriers around the world met with one, Russian, whose true state is eternal.

This is $ 700 billion of the US military budget (or $ 1 trillion - NATO military budget) met with $ 90 billion of the military budget of the Russian Federation, we do not know how many of them are stolen.

This Hollywood met with Mosfilm, Beyonce met with Lolita, Frank Sinatra talked with Kobzon, the last Orion with 60-year-old Proton, Halliburton met with VAZ)))))

This is one of 50 - the agricultural and oil states - Texas met with its economic equal - Russia)))

This is half of one APPLE met with the entire stock market of Russia, including Gazprom, Rosneft, Russian Railways, Norilsk Nickel, all Russian banks, etc. Just think, one smart private company in the country "weighs" twice as much on the market as the economy of the whole of Russia!

Here, THAT actually met THAN. It’s just that a dozen times stronger side met with the unreasonable side to stop its international hysterical brawl, from which innocent peaceful people die.

Unexpected actions by Russia (...) demonstrated the erosion of Washington’s influence in this region (in the Middle East).

The erosion of influence sounds like poetry. The usual consequences of an irresponsible and stupid policy, as it were, of the "strong". An elephant in a china shop - he smashed everything with his butt, as a result, no shop, no dishes and one surprise in his eyes ... That's all.

Leo, the king of beasts, gathered everyone in a clearing and said:
- Beautiful - to the left, smart - to the right.
All animals dispersed, only a monkey rushing back and forth. Leo tells her:
- What are you, monkey?
- Well, I can’t tear!- "... the American president rushes from side to side, demonstrating the thoughtlessness of actions and decisions." Well, something like this...

[Mainbeam]

The Yankees are so nuanced in the Middle East that they can only be hated. And when the one who gave them the teeth was found, they immediately lost influence. And before that, their influence was absolute: Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Tunisia ... Sooner or later the population will get tired of fighting against itself in the glory of oil for the Yankees. But so far, there has not been a force in the Middle East capable of withstanding American aircraft carriers.

[BlackDragon]

and now in BV someone can resist? 6 Su-34 vs 100 aircraft on an aircraft carrier alone? It’s just that American voters were against another company in BV, and Obama is running out of cadence, so I’m the whole reason for their inaction.

[Mainbeam]

Quote: BlackDragon

and now in BV someone can resist?

While there were no Russian troops in the Middle East, no one dared to fart. Syria resisted the Arab Spring as best it could, but its days were numbered. And now the Yankos cannot openly oppose the Russian troops in Syria (well, unless they dare to abandon nuclear weapons in this country).

[BlackDragon]

oh that's just not necessary about "can not", and fought with Iraq and Lebanon and Libya bombed (with the full support of the USSR, Arabs with military contingent and pilots from there in Egypt) were also not afraid. And there is no need to scare nuclear weapons, they are frightened and perfectly aware that they will not be used, they hunt and shoot down, then the Russian Federation will only issue warnings to the UN.

[SAM 5]

The states seem to be losing power in the international arena.

And the further, the more. Although the fingers bend as before.

Weakening, weakening p.i.nd.so.siya, completely began to surrender. The monopolar world orders to live long barely born. Ah yes Russia, ah yes well done! So there is still gunpowder in the flasks!

[Zomanus]

Well, what can you do. We are increasing our influence in some regions, America is reducing our influence there ... A normal process.

[slizhov]

Washington is losing influence on the WHOLE PLANET!

Jews, get off, the power has changed .....

Translated into Russian: from Obama the commander, like an anal candle from a soldering iron.

But Putin inserts so that no soldering iron can do this! ;-))

[Stinger]

Interestingly, the main tone of the Western media is not reduced to the fight against terrorism, but who lost what and who found what. Neither people nor the fate of the countries are of interest to them. Interested in their own image and coolness. Democratic, of course, cool.

[97110]

Quote: Stinger

Neither people nor the fate of the countries are of interest to them.

Come on. They don't care about their fates. Since the morning I have been listening to Euronews in half. Like forty frozen poop, allegedly civilians who were allegedly victims of the RVKS bombings are hammered. There is no way for them to enter, that a representative of the Syrian opposition who appears on their screen every quarter of an hour, in addition to a civilian suit, has a knife and a linen shirt to his feet. Which he will wear to cut their heads in front of the Parisian godmother's mosque. So this Euronews is struggling to portray a kind of "objectivity", sometimes giving Lavrov with an answer. The director's work is top-notch: Lavrov is completely unconvincing, and the oppositionist is darling. This director probably hopes that they will sharpen a knife specially for him. To "whack - take away the ready-made".

[slizhov]

It is possible that the Yankees did not see the planes at the IS when they fussed about, talking about the "futility" of the delivery of air defense weapons. And if they themselves wanted to pop the pasture or, suddenly, their fosterlings, such as the French?
Now the hunt will disappear, as I understand it ... :)

[Mountain shooter]

It must be remembered that striped ears NEVER admit defeat, and never resign themselves to second place. Barack is there, not Barak - they will shit. Where and how much they can. And the East has always respected strength. As soon as they understood that the "tiger is made of paper", so everyone, kirdyk to the Tigger.

[Ivan Slavyanin]

Now let them "sit in the gallery" of world history! Putin will enter Modern History with the name of Peacemaker! And there are many confirmations of this.

[sl22277]

"The US leadership in resolving the situation in Syria is in question." In my opinion, this is not the direction Washington is moving. Hence the question: does the US want to end ISIS or challenge the Leadership ..!? As a politician Obama is a complete zero, and only the huge influence of the United States makes this dwarf figure in any way noticeable.

[MAIGOR]

Washington is losing not only influence, but also the ability to freely wreak havoc and earn on it.

[Vitaly Anisimov]

Goodbye Obama ....!

[oracul]

The main thing is to choose the right link to pull out the entire chain. And do not overestimate your strength.

[Arkan]

The states seem to be losing power in the international arena.

Why, they just look like they are and have been for most of their history. They looked strong only against the background of limp and weak, but as soon as strong countries appeared, the Americans were blown away.

[rotmistr60]

Moscow’s interception of counter-terrorism initiatives completely stunned Washington.

Not just stunned. You look at the statements of the same Kerry in the last two days. He, poor thing. probably already confused what he said before.

[Denis DV]

What do you mean lose? - Lost! Tyu-tu, - "the train is leaving, we ask those seeing off to release the cars!"

[33 Watcher]

But did it even have this influence? What is the impact of someone with two options to buy or intimidate? So, temporary workers ...

[Comrade Bender]

The Fed and the bankers behind it just won't give up, because it concerns the fall in their profits. And for their profits, they will fight to the death by any means, mostly vile. But Obama is just a controlled pawn in their hands, like all US presidents.

[kill the fascist]

in fact, the influence of the Americans is diminishing, but illusions should not be built - the chess game with the United States is not five years or ten. it seems to me that we need to learn how to derive material benefits from political victories. without a good material base it will not be possible to compete with the West for a long time.

[roskot]

that the interception of Moscow’s counter-terrorism initiative completely stunned Washington.


Russia is like that. She can not only be overwhelmed, but also weigh the lyuley.

Well, here before they remembered the FRS. America is losing not only influence in the east. she loses influence at all. all of a sudden, someone who can put America in its place crawled out from where it didn’t take it. and America does not want to risk putting someone in its place. others will take a look and begin to raise their paw on American dominance in the small. so you need to see what happens next. if Russia together with the Syrian authorities can remove from the Syrian territory it doesn’t matter who is EXTRA on this land. then we can hope very soon America will lose all influence at all. even at home the influence will die. there are much more black criminals than police officers. people love the strong. besides those who went to the very strong country to live alone will run home from there. and then America will become weak.
fear will disappear from investors, they will very loudly demand their babosy back. and then America will also lose its economy. will remain a stranger. Remember how plants in the former USSR were captured? and there the Chinese Chinese are organizing their mafia. who will wring out .... the Russians have enough experience in this matter. I put a liter of the most expensive vodka this will happen in the next 20 years. (although I can already die, it’s not important)
