Sylence Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Syria: China and Iran Join Russia in Larger Role Several developments this week mark an increase of activity from Syria’s allies, Russia, Iran and now China. These include a Russian-Iranian agreement to use Iranian territory to position Russian Tupolev Tu-22M strategic bombers as well as Iranian and Iraqi airspace for both the bombers and Russian cruise missiles to pass through on their way to militant targets in Syria. It also includes China’s recent pledge to provide humanitarian assistance to the Syrian people as well as military support for Syrian government troops in their fight to restore order nationwide. The Details The BBC would report in its article, “Syrian conflict: Russian bombers use Iran base for air strikes,” that: Russia’s defence ministry says it has used a base in western Iran to carry out air strikes in Syria. Tupolev-22M3 long-range bombers and Sukhoi-34 strike fighters took off from Hamedan on Tuesday, a statement said. Targets were hit in Aleppo, Idlib and Deir al-Zour provinces, it added. The BBC would also report: Last week, Russia asked Iran and Iraq to allow Russian cruise missiles to fly through their airspace for attacks on terrorist targets in Syria. It should be noted that Russian Tu-22Ms have already been used during Russia’s operations in Syria, however they have been based in southern Russia. Moving them forward west of Tehran, allows for shorter and more frequent missions, saving fuel and time. This further strengthening of Russian-Iranian ties come amid the delivery of Russian S-300 anti-air defense systems to Iran as part of an $800 million contract signed in 2007. In addition to this, Reuters would report in its article, “China says seeks closer military ties with Syria,” that: “China and Syria’s militaries have a traditionally friendly relationship, and China’s military is willing to keep strengthening exchanges and cooperation with Syria’s military,” the news agency paraphrased Guan [Guan Youfei, director of the Office for International Military Cooperation of China’s Central Military Commission] as saying. Both also talked about personnel training and “reached a consensus” on the Chinese military providing humanitarian aid, Xinhua added, without elaborating. Reuters would also make mention of Uyghur militants operating in Syria alongside other Western-backed militant groups, suggesting this as a possible motive for China’s interest in the conflict. The Implications The presence of Uyghur militants operating in Syria helps illustrate the wider implications of the Syrian conflict. While characterised as a “civil war” by the Western media, it is in fact a proxy war waged against Syria and its allies by a US-led multinational coalition. Should this coalition succeed in replicating the scenario that unfolded in Libya in 2011, Western-backed militants would have a staging ground significantly closer to Iran, southern Russia and western China. The presence of large, well-funded and armed militant groups in Syria has already helped bolster peripheral networks in North Africa and Central Asia. Should this coalition fail in the face of joint Syrian-Russian-Iranian-Chinese efforts, these militant groups can be exposed and liquidated and joint efforts in turn shifted to eliminate peripheral networks beyond Syria’s battlefields. China and Iran’s increased involvement in the Syrian conflict raise pressure on the US-led coalition and its ongoing proxy war, making it increasingly unlikely that Western ambitions will be realized. The growing concentration of forces in and around Syria may eventually pose a danger to many of the coalition members working with the US in the region. With Russian forces staged in Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf states are now at a greater disadvantage vis-a-vis Tehran. Should China be forced deeper into the conflict, this may compound the already tenuous position of US allies in the region even further.

luisam Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 The Syrian conflict is a TRIPOLAR war, between Assad and his allies, rebels backed up by Western powers including the US and the yihadists of the so called Islamic State. My opinion is that it's a VERY BAD NEWS for Iranian people. From now on, their worst enemy might be the fanatics of Daesh in reprisal for their the active involvement in this conflict. The paradox is that while Iranian Government always keeps the rage again the US and WESTERN DEVIL they are selling out the country to Russia and China, both countries traditionally just as or more imperialist as the US or the EU.

SnakeMasteR Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 ISIS was created to harm Iran, yet Saddam was the best partner to have to actually keep Iran on distance but they've killed him. Doesn't make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeMasteR Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 The last article in OP's link refers to New Eastern Outlook as article source. That is a publication of Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Just as rt.com is "independent" but sponsored from the russian government, it pretty much looks like another state-sponsored pro-russian anti-west propaganda, basically the counterpart to what others call western media. Ayy, LMAO. Russia is in Syria to keep Assad in power and defend his and pro-government troops, nobody cares about the people in Syria, only national interests are important. The only thing all have in common is that they can't and won't allow ISIS to rule any country, even US would admit Assad would temporarily be better than ISIS. http://www.dahrendorf-forum.eu/europe-russia-blog-series-anti-western-sentiment-in-russia-between-propaganda-and-autosuggestion/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash48 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Yes getting rid of Assad would be a mistake. America got rid of the leader in Iraq and look what happened. Next the leader of Libya went and look what happened. If Assad goes then Syria will be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as France and Turkey, they have to 'face the music', now. They Equipped ISIS, they Trained ISIS, and now what? Are they surprised? No, they shouldn't have.
