Syria conflict: Putin defends Russia’s air strikesشام پر بمباری کا مقصد بشار

In a shift of U.S. strategy in Syria, the Pentagon will press pause on its training program for Syrian rebel groups fighting so-called Islamic State (IS) forces and the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

The low amounts are attributed on a rigorous checking procedure which includes ensuring the combatants are given to fight ISIS, passing a counterintelligence screening, and rather than the Assad regime.

Kerry asserted that Russian Federation, like other countries around the world, understands that a military solution is not viable in Syria. However, while demanding the ouster of Assad and the imposition of a U.S. puppet in his place, Washington does not want to see the complete collapse of the Syrian state and the assumption of power by ISIS, al-Nusra and similar forces that have been doing its dirty work. Millions of refugees fleeing to other countries.

“We’re not able to associate more broadly with Russia’s approach in Syria, because it is wrongheaded and strategically shortsighted,” he said.

When Moscow began airstrikes on September 30, Russian officials said they were coordinating with Assad and targeting ISIS and other terrorists.

Russia wants to “create conditions for a political compromise” in Syria, he told Russian state TV.

“Russian military action highlights the United States political incompetence”.

“The European Union condemns the excessive, disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks the Syrian regime proceeds to perpetrate against its people”.

“It’s allowed for the holder of the card to cross the Army’s checkpoints safely, the Syrian Army will provide the food and medical aid for the holders of the card, join forces together with the Syrian Army, leave the regions that observe battles for the security”, the fliers said, as stated by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Is this one going to make a difference?

President Barack Obama has not spoken about the Central Intelligence Agency program publicly, but he has said that Russian Federation risks slipping into a quagmire in Syria and is operating from a position of weakness. Assad’s refusal to consider such a route played no small role in Qatar’s pouring tens of billions of dollars in arms and funds into the Syrian civil war.

Brad Stapleton, a visiting research fellow in the Cato Institute, said carnage will probably ensue.

But Syrian rebels and opposition activists say Moscow’s warplanes in recent days have focused on U.S.-backed rebels in areas with no IS militants.

“As during the Cold War, USA and Russian arms supplies will simply fan the flames of conflict and beget more death and destruction”.
