State Department: Washington does not put pressure on Iraq because of cooperation with the Russian Federation, it has an honest discussion with it

43
According to the State Department, the statements of the American generals about the cessation of support for Iraq in the event that it expands its cooperation with the Russian Federation in the fight against ISIS are not political pressure on Baghdad, reports RIA News.



The agency recalls that on Wednesday, the chairman of the committee of the chiefs of staff of the Dunford US Armed Forces stated that "the international coalition will not be able to conduct operations against the Islamic State group in Iraq if Russia starts its military operation there." And before that, with a request to stop cooperation with Russia, the US special representative for the struggle against the Islamists, John Allen, addressed the Iraqi government.

“Is this (statement) a pressure tool? Not. I would say that we have an honest and frank discussion with the government of Iraq. I repeat once again that this is ultimately the decision that Iraq should itself make, "
State Department spokesman Toner told reporters.

However, he refused to disclose the “details of the diplomatic negotiations” between Baghdad and Washington.

              If Iraq cooperates with Russia, then Russia will create such a coalition belt: Syria, Iraq, Iran. The ability to use the territories of these countries for a more comfortable military campaign against ISIS.

              If this happens, this in itself will already be a victory. The issue with ISIS will be resolved in a relatively short time. Depending on the chosen strategy, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

              So far, this BELT is breaking one missing element of IRAQ. And the Americans understand that. If Russia closes it, it will receive such control that will disrupt the coordination of ISIS.

              PS
              Plus the moral side of the issue, Russia will show the whole world how, without violating international law, it is possible to effectively fight terrorism.

    Interestingly, if this is not pressure, then what does “pressure” mean in their understanding? Oh yes, I forgot! But Iraq probably remembers from the time of Saddam what "democratic pressure" (aircraft carriers and cruise missiles) is. So everyone understood everything ...

    To block the skies of Iraq for our VKS, if requested by the Iraqi government, it will be difficult for the band-eared, since such a decision does not have any legitimacy. True, in response, ours will block the Syrian sky, it is completely justified.
    And so, they are such darlings. They do not "put pressure" on the Iraqi government at all, they are simply blackmailing it.

    Fair? But the men don’t know.
    Off-topic news: IS addressed Israel in Hebrew: "We will rid the world of you"
    The Islamic State terrorist organization first published an appeal in Hebrew, the Srugim website notes. A militant of the group in military uniform and in a black mask warns the Jews that the "caliphate" will destroy them first in Jerusalem and then throughout the world.
    "Continue to go about your business, but soon we will get to you. You will answer tenfold for all your crimes. There will not be a single Jew left in Jerusalem or in all of Palestine, and then we will rid the whole world of this disease," he promises. http://www.newsru.co.il/mideast/23oct2015/isis_heb8002.html

    (According to the State Department, statements by American generals about ending support for Iraq if it expands cooperation with Russia in the fight against IS are not political pressure on Baghdad.)

    Well yes. Nothing personal, but just loudly blow and ruin the air (well, as always, in the Anglo-Saxon style). bully
