The militants of the terrorist group Islamic state (IG banned in Russia) in the city of raqqa, Syria
It seems, sadly, the expectations from a constructive U.S. policy in the middle East become completely naive. Hopelessly naive. At this point in history. You can talk about based on reasonableness and balance, which seems like a long time to come to Washington. Offer him friendship and different forms of cooperation on favorable terms. All this, alas, does not work. Vaska listens, Yes eats, according to known Russian proverb. Recent events in Syria — a convincing proof of that. The Russian defense Ministry lambasted the United States, accusing the Americans that they helped the militants to break out of encirclement in the area of the Syrian Abu Kamal. The man who until recently were their last major stronghold.
Moreover, aircraft of the United States and its allies in the coalition prevented Air and space forces Russia to strike at the retreating radicals. Important detail: the command of the Russian groups in Syria have several times proposed that the coalition led by the US to kill terrorists. It was simply because they multikilometer columns retreated to the side of the Syrian-Iraqi border. Washington categorically refused, citing the fact that the rebels allegedly surrender to and automatically fall under the Geneva Convention relative to the treatment of prisoners of war. Yeah, so hypocrisy hypocrisy.
The American representatives are unable to clearly explain why the extremists regroup in coalition controlled territory. And then make a new attack on Syrian government forces. Not enough, apparently, creativity is responsible for the explanation. For the implementation of their plans coalition aircraft entered the airspace over a 15-kilometer area around Abu Kemal, although the ban on flights of coalition there had been agreed. And this, of course, prevented the Russian space forces to strike at militants, has created a real interference.
There are several options. Either Washington already by definition can not respond constructively to the proposals of Moscow, which turned his efforts in a kind of "world evil", with which there can be no cooperation. Either the United States returned to its customary practice, the actual support for the militants and use them for their own purposes on the background of beautiful statements about the uncompromising fight against terrorism. However, interrupted this tradition?.. Or we are dealing with a complete a lack of coordination between different forces within the American political establishment. This is when the White house and, for example, the state Department says one thing and the Pentagon, for example, the CIA doing quite another. In Vietnam at the APEC summit, Vladimir Putin and Donald trump endorsed the joint U.S.-Russian statement on Syria, which in many has given some hope to the most coveted common sense. And just immediately the American military had covered the retreat of militants from Abu-Kemal. These are, to put it mildly, conflicting promises. Perhaps all these three factors came together at one point. And this, of course, makes the situation even more complicated.
However, while an obvious one. To leave Syria as the most important state in the region, the Americans are not going to. And the corresponding recent call Ankara did not react. Moreover, they create in the Syrian Arab Republic military bases. And illegally, according to estimates of the Russian Ministry of defense. Pentagon chief James Mattis bluntly stated that the US does not plan to leave Syria to the success of the Geneva peace process. Then you can think of others and think of other terms. Apparently, the only thing you can expect in the current environment, is the preservation of technical contacts between the Russian and American military. To still wasn't in the air surprises.
