Russia withdraws its remaining personnel from Syria

[LordTyrannus]

Who says that Assad will go to Russia ?

You mean he will go to iran?

Assad is a westernized secular leader. He don´t like the islamist shithole tehran. sorry.

Al-Hayat? It's a pan-Arab newspaper. One of the leading ones actually.

I think it is obvious that Russia has much more to worry about right now than a Al-Assad regime that they can replace with someone else elsewhere.

If Russia were smart they would try to extend their hands to the GCC and other anti-Assad Arab countries. 1000 more reasons for doing that than supporting a failed genocidal regime in a failed country (Syria).

I guess that they are still butthurt about our support for Chechnya and Muslims in Russia.

Anyway regardless of what they will do, the genocidal Al-Assad regime will collapse.

Russia has to make sure that Syria can't be allowed to become a 'jihadi wonderland', because that means training, funding and a staging area for attacks back in Chechnya and the wider Caucasus. Russia isn't supporting Assad for his nice blue eyes, they see Syria as a threat to their national interest. I don't see a reason why they would evacuate Latakia or Dimashq, nothing remotely close to dangerous happening there yet.

No, Assad will go to secular North Korea.

I fail to see the connection between Syria and Chechnya (Caucasus)? It's not like those two regions are next door. Caucasus itself is a constant low-intensity "insurgency zone" and has been since the early 1990's. There are reports of deaths every single week all over Caucasus.

If anything the only militant conflicts close to Russian Caucasus are the Armenian-Azeri conflict and the Kurdish militancy in Turkey and Iran.

After that you have Northern Iraq which is a Swedish buffet consisting of Kurdish militias and ISIS.

I think that Russia can see where the Al-Assad regime is going and as I wrote they have plenty to worry about within Russia due to the collapsing economy, sanctions let alone Ukraine next door.

The only reason why they can't throw the Assad regime under a rock now is because they have spent so many resources and years on supporting him.

It's a failed project.

Anyway I see potential of GCC/wider Arab cooperation with Russia again once Putin leaves. That guy is good entertainment.

Calm down and put down the vodka, it's still early.

Russia acts for its own interests. It is better that you do not make political agreements.

Russia isn't really 'spending' that much in Syria, and they can easily support the insurgency in Ukraine and prop up Assad. If anything, the Syria question is completely linked to the Iran nuclear negotiations. About the caucasus, the Armenian-Azeri conflict isn't of Russia's concern, as it doesn't threaten them, neither are the Kurds. Russia doesn't want a LARGE (4x populalation) Libya in the Levant. That's the whole point. They already have one in Afghanistan, which is slowly becoming better. It's really in nobody's interest in the entire region to have a large Libyan nomans land full of different jihadi groups.

Every country does. Why not? I see no reason at all why Arabs or in this case GCC should be enemies with Russia and Russia? Actually thousands upon thousands of Arabs have married Russians and vice versa across Europe, Arab world and Russia itself. Relations were quite close in the Cold War era with republican/socialist dominated Arab countries.

Arabs have never hurt Russians either. Well we conquered Caucasus and controlled it for a few centuries but back then no Russians (ethnic ones) lived there. Only our brotherly Caucasian people.

gaymal atatork took it up his arse.

ROFL... he looks like putin a bit here

Don't be an a$$hole. Ataturk is 100x the man Putin will ever be. Pathetic.

 

[Saho]

Russia gave us a message that Bashar's reign is coming to an end.

Look throughout their history, when it suited them they backstabbed their friends. Recent example is Gadaffi, the Russkis were blocking the UN resolutions but at the last moment they dropped Gadaffi like a sack of potatoes and French fighter jets begun the campaign. Or the S300 case on Iran... etc

Well, they have spent quite a few billions of dollars to no avail it seems. Just prolonging a fight that is doomed to fail IMO.

Well, I am just saying that events in Syria will have close to no impact for Russia. They already have an insurgency in Caucasus while we speak and actual conflicts that border Caucasus.

Russia's security situation won't become more dangerous just because of Syria IMO.

No, nobody is interested in Syria turning into another Afghanistan but I don't think that this will happen. It's too centrally located in the ME and too many countries will prevent that from happening be it Jordan, Iraq, Israel, GCC and Turkey. US too.

Let's see though. In my eyes Russia is committing a mistake by supporting the Al-Assad regime.
