Russia, China block bid by Western powers to impose UN sanctions on Syria

We need a United Nations where Russia and China are in the place of the Allied Western powers are today. That post World War paradigm is coming to an end. Someone else needs to take over. China is the prime candidate. Maybe not now, but in ten years. it is, however, inevitable.
Easy. Just withdraw from the UN.

The UN is a VOLUNTARY organization. If you were willing to get in at your convenience, you have the right to get out also at your convenience. Pakistan can take the lead and see if you can convince China and Russia to leave the UN with you. :lol:
 
.
If there is going to be sanctions, it should be placed on the US because, as Trump confessed, the previous US regime aided and abetted all the terrorist groups in Syria, including the ISIS.

We probably unintentionally aided Mao back in 1940-1945 too. As people like to say here.."One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter". I'm sure we never thought at the time he would kill millions.

Chinese envoy at UN Security Council slams West's hypocrisy on Syria

At 2:28 Chinese envoy said:
As we can all recall the so called WMD were used in the past to unleash a war which has brought untold sufferings to the people in the Middle East...

Terrorists from Washington want to do this once again:

USA lied about WMD in Iraq to invade this country and create Daesh.

US didn't aid Mao, he wasn't/didn't expect to be in power. Neither did he issue any order to bomb and murder like Taliban or Al Qaeda, which US aided back then. Your freedom fighter is also your terrorist. Sept 11.

Russia, China block bid by Western powers to impose UN sanctions on Syria

Published time: 28 Feb, 2017 16:58Edited time: 28 Feb, 2017 17:01



Russia and China have vetoed a UN Security Council proposal that would have banned the supply of helicopters to the Syrian government, and blacklisted eleven Syrian military commanders over allegations of toxic gas attacks.
DETAILS TO FOLLOW


I think Russia and China owe us a public explanation as to why they blocked these sanctions.
Assad uses these weapons not just on violent uprisers like ISIS, they *started* using their helicopter etc etc assets against PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATORS, and i believe Assad will do so again.

We also need to hear more about how the Russia+China political block will make sure Assad doesnt keep slaughtering his own countrymen,women,children who were merely asking in peaceful demonstrations for a fairer share of government revenue.

Russia, China, you want to be global powerplayers, then play fair. Or i fear more proxywars like Syria and Vietnam along with the expensive country-crippling armsraces that go with that.
Show us that you've learned from these global mistakes of the 1970s-2000s, please.

May be, as envoy disclosed in one of above video, the matter was viewed by China-Russia with past Iraq Invasion that WMDs were not found in the end yet country is still in turmoil hence, blocked the move this time and called for a mutual strategy to deal with the threat rather than bombing the whole country. However, details would be best known to UN Officials and rest of the countries that whether the blockage was right or not. We still read about what happened in Iraq case and there was no return then what happened to that country.

Why are you posting your e-mails to CIA etc, here?

Well, there is clearcut evidence of what Assad and his regime leaders did against peacefuly demonstrating Syrians. Barrel bombs thrown from helicopters on residential buildings, Artillery used against residential buildings, etc.

I do not see why/how this situation can be compared to the invasion of Iraq. And BTW, i'm happy Saddam left the Earth, and to now see a fairly stable moderate government rule Iraq.

Why do i post many of my postings here to the CIA and whitehouse and select massmedia outlets? So the arguments i present do not get lost in the fog of war / fog of time.

Then world powers should do the necessary without any delay but No?

Situation can be related as WMDs claim was fake yet country invaded even Saddam is dead but look at today's Iraq. The same invasion helped rise of a new Cancer like ISIS in the region so Syria is going to create another one as what if this move was fake too like Iraqi WMDs. Veto powers need to sit and discuss in UN and can demand explanation from Russia & China.

That is your choice to post your arguments etc but there is no need to post your e-mails here that does not relate to the topic/thread or forum at all. This forum has own policy so you can save your e-mails to your hard disk/computer but doesn't make any sense to post the same here.

Well it is pretty fair, no?

The Western powers are supporting the "Syrian rebels" (who happen to include stalwarts such as Al-Nusra and ISIS).

Russia and China are supporting the officially recognized government of Syria (also known as barrel-bombing Assad).

Seems pretty balanced to me. What would be unfair would be if all the P5 members supported the same side, that would be highly unbalanced.

what do you think is 'the necessary'?

It's hard to tell what will come out of Syria. All the worlds 'players' assembled, and it's still not clear who is going to win that territory yet alone how they will administrate that are after they've 'won the war' (won the current set of battles, in my opinion)

ah but it does make sense, Eagle-san :)
by emailing discussions from defence.pk around to the addresses i always use for such "leaks" (it's already a public discussion, but the audience is small and limited if you dont 'leak' it), i am doing my best to see the arguments in those discussions discussed by "my" political circles and mass-media companies (or at least discussed informally at these politicians' and massmedia journalists' water-coolers), and that *may* (or may not) have an effect on what mass media feeds the much-larger public that does not frequent forums like defence.pk here.
and by emailing the receipts of such emails back onto the forum, i am giving notice to all intel and military professionsals from many countries around the world that *do* read defence.pk as part of their job, that any aspects/details of world military developments that would be otherwise stay relatively secret
, are now also known to political leaderships and massmedia outlets.
By not keeping the addresses to which i send these 'updates' secret, i aim to create a more honest and open battle for the hearts and minds of the vast majority of people who do not read defence.pk (or forums like it).

Hi Dragon :)

Yes, many mistakes have been made by the West. After Saddam's regime was replaced by 'a bunch of militarily-amateur local politicians (in free elections mind you)', we had a temporary problem of training up entirely new soldiers (can't have Saddam loyalists running the army again, or the new-and-nicer politicians dont stand a chance to stay in real power). So the new Iraqi army did the right thing; they fled and lived to fight another day.
They're pretty much up to ***-kicker status these days though.
They also followed advice me (and probably others too) not to torture extremists they captured. They gave 'm comfy prisons where (big mistake) they could read from their own (violent-jihadist) Quran versions, and thus if you count it all up you can say that "the West together with the post-Saddam Iraqi leadership created ISIS".

However.. You can't (and i won't let anyone) judge the performance of an entirely new and noob-ish goverment in such a violent region, by their first 10 to 15 years in office.
And BTW, the new Iraqi leadership, with continued US help, is now well underway to regain control of their entire country.

As for the US supporting the moderate rebels in Syria : same problem there folks! moderate rebels tend to run away from a battlefield if they notice they're gonna get slaughtered, and radical oppressors like ISIS tend to run towards abandoned weapons!

As for China and Russia; they're up to proxy-warring, and i'm not liking it. Neither are a lot of other people.
Russia wants to keep Assad in power and 'clean up Syria'. Then let's see them actually clear up Syria themselves in less than 4 months using the renewed Russian military might, and NOT see Syria continue to be a hell-hole for the next decade, eh!

China, you're new to influence-far-outside-your-own-borders. Please make sure you do not pick up the bad habits of letting your enemies and people you dont actually care about slaughter eachother for years and years. Be constructive, work towards peace with what you say internally to eachother, in the massmedias to the world, and by the actions of your secret intel operatives and the rest of your military assets.

The score is being kept by historians people. And it's not hard math if you know what i mean.
 
.
what do you think is 'the necessary'?

If needed explanation then should what deem fit but if you are asking for my opinion that what should have been done, don't mind, but has to brought all those criminals that have done wrong in past yet nations went to stone age due to unwanted bombings. At-least, need to start what Tony Blair said about deliberate mis-feeding of Intelligence with subject to Iraq and show an example. Otherwise, UN members should ask directly for the reason if don't know.

It's hard to tell what will come out of Syria. All the worlds 'players' assembled, and it's still not clear who is going to win that territory yet alone how they will administrate that are after they've 'won the war' (won the current set of battles, in my opinion)

Exactly, every party is responsible for Syria so how come one can walk out with mere blaming. These all powers, involved in current Syrian & others situation, must be questioned if there is a body to act. Therefore, people praising China-Russia act as plausible seeing a stoppage of another Iraq. Parties need to chalk-down a common strategy if they really are willing for peace and stabilization in the region otherwise, wouldn't be wrong to say, the same game will be continued and either of parties will be blaming each other with whatever they have to shoot at others.

Look, what we discuss here is mostly available in Public domain hence, question of any secret being revealed at PDF and you have to tell to your circle, does not arise at all, IMO. However, by sharing your e-mail here which is not related to the topic or discussion, doesn't make any sense because that is your personal interest/business hence, asked that doesn't make sense. I did not say why you send details to your contact or anyone in your circle but sharing your e-mail here at PDF was surprising. However, you may continue with your discussion on the subejct as the last para (your e-mail) is not related to the topic so I wouldn't carry on further with the same though asked merely to know the reason.

Regards,

US has supported every known terrorist groups in Syria except the legitimate government. In Trump own words, previous US regime is responsible for the creation of the ISIS, one of the bloodiest terror groups in our time.

This is, by the way, only a decade after that the US waged a war against Afghanistan to punish the same terrorists that it is offering help now.

I liked how the US ambassador talked until the face turned red and it did not change anything.

Fictitious Russian Airstrike Almost Kills American Soldiers Who Shouldn’t Be in Syria

It's a crowded country — especially because it's full of soldiers who shouldn't be there

Rudy Panko
Thu, Mar 2, 2017 |


Russia must ask the U.S. for permission to fight terrorists in Syria. Right?

Everyone knows that Washington is allowed to send its soldiers anywhere in the world, for whatever reason, and for whatever purposes.

But does Russia know this?

Apparently not, because according to a breathless Foreign Policy article, Russia nearly killed a whole bunch of American soldiers who were never invited to come to Syria and are there illegally as foreign invaders. Goodness gracious:

Russian and Syrian jets nearly hit U.S. forces in northern Syria on Tuesday when they attacked positions held by Syrian Democratic Forces, a critical American ally in the effort to expel the Islamic State from Syria, the top U.S. general there said Wednesday.

It was a situation that U.S. commanders have been trying to avoid since Russia deployed dozens of aircraft to Syria in late 2015. There are about 500 American troops are on the ground training Syrian Arab and Kurdish fighters in northern Syria in the runup to the assault on the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa, and the Russians have shown themselves to be indifferent over who, or what, they strike with their unguided bombs.

A situation that U.S. commanders have been "trying to avoid"? Really? Here's a quick fix: Don't deploy your soldiers to countries that don't want them there.

According to the article, "American advisory forces" were "fewer than five miles away" from the Russian airstrike.

So in layman's terms: American soldiers who are not supposed to be in Syria were miles away from an airstrike that had the full blessing of the Syrian government.

Russia's blatant disregard for international law knows no limits.

UPDATE: " Neither Russian nor Syrian air forces had bombed positions of Syrian Arab coalition fighters supported by Washington in Syria on Tuesday, Russia's Defense Ministry has said, rejecting accusations put forward by a US military commander."

So a fictitious Russian airstrike almost killed American soldiers who shouldn't be in Syria? Even more outrageous.
 
.
Well in my view Russia and China did the right thing and I am thankful to Russia and China for what they have done for Syria.
