RedBack Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 The whole world witnessed Syria's warring sides have met in Astana to try to settle down the crisis and return peace and stability to their country. Russia have offered the representatives of official Damascus and armed opposition a draft Constitution, notably, for 'The Syrian Republic' with no 'Arabic'. What do you think of this Moscow's step?

kactus Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think the russians want a secular Syria with no islamic roots at their door step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 The pictures of this country looks like Germany WW2 and are the NATO countries going to help rebuild it?

bush_cheney2004 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Syria has long been in Moscow's geo-political sphere and influence. Russia wants a warm water port for the region and its interests. It is logical that the Russian Federation would be involved in settling this long civil war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altai Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Its a challenge by Turkiye and Russia against the World. These two countries openly declared that they are the decision authority about Syria, so World politics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kactus Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Geopolitically Syria plays a major role to superpowers and all major stakeholders. Russians, Chinese, Iranians, Arabs, Turks and the West they all have a stake...It's just a matter of balancing act not to step on eachother's toe whilst benefitting what the country has to offer. Whilst Russia wants a non islamist government in Syria the West is happy with a western style puppet regime just like Saudi Arabia to do business with....

The draft Constitution - the subject for discussions and a matter for the conflict sides to think over, not to obey it. The United States with their coalition, Turkey, Iran and other involved had no idea what to do with all the mess there is Syria. Fighting terrorists is ok, but who's going to resolve the political crisis when internal forces don't want to negotiate. I think the draft is not about Russia's sphere of influence, it's about peace making primarily) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some ways, Syria is reaping karma for complicity in instability for the region (e.g. interventionist policies in Lebanon). The UN has not yet proposed peacekeeping forces for Syria, and with good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-TSS- Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Russians should have stayed away in the first place. Whatever trouble they are about to face following their hapless decision to intervene they thoroughly deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...Syria has been Russia's proxy since the 1950s. A de facto Warsaw Pact Member in spirit if not print.

Once Assad has competed the extermination of all remaining resistance, Syria will resume the campaign to wipe out Israel. The West can help this campaign, as they have been, by smashing ISIL in Syria and Iraq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once things calm down I suspect Saudi Arabia to make their move against Israel. Iran might get sloppy seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia is not the same as the old Soviet Union was. Russia is far less important even though they may not agree with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CITIZEN_2015 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I don't trust Russia. They have no interest in peace or safety of Syria or its people or anywhere else in the world. They are just after their own interests and they don't care about the deaths and pain they are causing around the world They have proven again and again that they are evil even to their own people. Down with this evil empire. Down with Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
