Daily Mail: Western leaders who see themselves as modern Churchill are playing a double game

36
The journalist of the British edition of the Daily Mail, Peter Hitchens, expressed the opinion that the British and American authorities would not start the fight against the Islamic State, but would only continue to imitate active actions. About his material writes RIA "News".



According to Hitchens, the West criticizes the Russian Federation for the beginning of the bombing in Syria, but if the rebels, who, according to British politicians, are “moderate,” were, for example, in Manchester, they would no doubt be detained as extremists.

At the same time, Western countries themselves do not stop bombing as a method of war, the journalist noted, citing Belgrade, Tripoli and Baghdad as an example. According to Hitchens, civilians, including children, were hardly and accidentally killed in these cities.

The journalist stressed that Western leaders, who think of themselves as modern Churchill, are playing a double game, forgetting about anti-extremist rhetoric when it comes to supplying weapons Saudi Arabia supporting Islamist fanatics. He also draws attention to the fact that Western politicians and the media do not hear criticism against Turkey, which, under the guise of fighting the IS, is bombing the Kurds.

Hitchens noted that the actions of the Russian Federation can be dangerous and hasty and can fail, especially if we consider the desire of Western leaders to prevent them. However, according to him, the Russian Federation, at least, is honest and straightforward.

    So much time and dough to swell in ISIS, then to destroy it? In the West, of course, there are political idiots. But they do not make decisions. Anglo-Saxons maneuver so as not to lose face and influence. For all the costs of the information war, I wish the leadership of the Russian Federation to withstand character. So that a new Khasavyurt does not appear.

        Consider non-resistance as help? After all, the "moderate opposition" actually paid for by NATO cleared the clearing for ISIS from Assad and "self-removed" from the territories it occupied. By providing them with fossil and human resources. By the way, who buys hydrocarbons from ISIS (and thereby sponsors directly)? I think it's easy to find out, because besides Turkey, do they have controlled pipes anywhere at all?

          If ISIS could now, it would cut out all the "moderate opposition." But the Turks interfere with them.

          There are many who want to buy cheap oil, but ISIS has already gone to the borders of Turkey. The Turks gave them a snot.

            In general, I do not really distinguish between ISIS and the "moderate", they are all thugs, thugs. This enmity between them is purely internal party squabbles. And if the "moderates" could, then they would cut ISIS with Allahuakbar. So what's stopping them if they have Turkey's support and ISIS doesn't?

            Assad also buys cheap oil from ISIS? You asked - I answered. Who buys oil is the sponsor. Most likely it is Turkey. Sponsorship and persuasion are not mutually exclusive.

            Why did it happen?
            Who interferes with the Turks is the Kurds, whom the Turks are bombing under the guise of fighting ISIS.
            It’s just that the Kurds are preventing the creation of a free corridor for the movement of Igilov’s oil.
            In terms of the content of ISIS, the architects of the project pumped it up with weapons, only brought it to self-sufficiency from the sale of oil, and then it's bad luck - Russia really began to huddle Turkish and American "wards" .....
            While pounding infrastructure - bases, training camps, warehouses, communications.
            Russia has so far offered the West to impose sanctions against ISIS and some "interested" in buying and selling counterfeit oil at dumping prices - but the United States and others like them stupidly stop this initiative.
            Something suggests that if the position of the "non-partners" does not change on this issue, then the very basis of ISIS self-sufficiency will soon be destroyed - that is, oil fields controlled by them. Then there will be a howl, because to stand openly on the side of ISIS means to take full responsibility for what you have done, and not to stand up means to watch from the sidelines as a fat pie leaves you. The USA and Turkey now have a break in the template, but they will still be)))
            Here is perhaps one of the oil convoys who did not reach Turkey

      Dear Uncle Vasya, I am somewhat surprised at your comment of this kind.
      Do you take into account the fact that this is the Western press? And similar publications:
      Hitchens noted that the actions of the Russian Federation can be dangerous and hasty and can fail, especially if we consider the desire of Western leaders to prevent them. However, according to him, the Russian Federation, at least, is honest and straightforward.

      they "play" in our favor, if only because they radically change the way in which information about Russia is conveyed to the Western public. They (Western media) will never say "Russia is good", but the assessment of our country's position as honest and straightforward, on their part, it would have been nonsense six months ago.

      Well, something like this, uncle. hi

Do you see an alliance with them, and if Russia joins it, then something will fall from the tsar's table ... you are confusing Russia with Ugrobiya, gentlemen, "world democrats", you should ask us to ask! As you can see, our President did not intend to consult with any of you and will not, as a result, you do not control Syria, and in general, very few people believe you in BV ... so it is not in your position to set conditions ... negative

        how they tried to do it after the second world ...
        In the Second World War, ours waited for 3 years, but then 3 days have not passed, and they are already opening the "second front". bully
        This is reported by the New York Times, citing sources in the Pentagon and the White House:
        Washington’s plans include opening a front in northeast Syria to put pressure on Raqqa, the de facto capital of the Islamic State. According to the publication, US President Barack Obama approved two steps aimed at accelerating the offensive operation. In particular, he ordered for the first time to directly deliver ammunition and, possibly, some weapons to the Syrian opposition. In addition, Obama supported the idea of ​​increasing the intensity of airstrikes on the positions of the Islamists.
        In short, when Assad tramples on them, they should not need anything in terms of ammunition. And by "some weapons" I mean MANPADS and additional means of reconnaissance and guidance to them.

      Michael, let me state some judgments. No one doubts that Churchill is still a foe. But, it was a smart, predictable enough and most importantly (from my point of view) an honest foe, not hiding his hostile attitude towards the USSR, but realizing the need to support it. That, in general, does not make him our "friend", but made it possible to communicate with him clearly, not behind the scenes.

    after Syria, the turn of Qatar and Saudi Arabia will come - these 2 countries are evil, that is where Islamic fascism arose.

    What is it like? To go to war on them? Don't talk nonsense. Russia, even here in Syria, is trying to rely on the rule of law, as opposed to the US coalition, which "does not write the law."


    Nevertheless, it is vitally necessary to find a council for the Saudis, they need to be taught such a lesson that others think about it ... I think that they need to be bombed as accomplices and sponsors of terrorism in the world as well as for war crimes in Yemen. In general, since we are stuck in the Middle East, then we must go to the end.

    “On October 3, at 12.08, a Russian military aircraft violated Turkish airspace from Syria in the Yailada region of Hatay province. After it was intercepted by two Turkish F-16 fighters patrolling the area, the plane left Turkish airspace, ”the Turkish Foreign Ministry reports to RIA Novosti.

    On Monday (today), Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the Russian military operation in Syria “a serious mistake” and stated that these actions may lead to isolation of Moscow. "
