No hay acuerdo entre estadounidenses y rusos para una paz negociada
en Siria. Rusia volvió a ese país para terminar lo que se había propuesto:
ayudar a las autoridades a derrotar a los “rebeldes” “sirios” que preferirían en la zona un califato islámico medieval. Los estadounidenses, por su parte, hacen lo que
mejor les sale: embarrar la cancha para que nada cambie.

Título: Syria:
The U.S. Is Unwilling To Settle - Russia Returns For Another Round
Texto: The Obama
administration does not want peace in Syria. The Russians finally have to admit
to themselves that the U.S. is no partner for a continuation of a cease fire, a
coordinated attack against the Islamic State and al-Qaeda and for peace in
Syria. Indeed, as Lavrov explains, the U.S. has again asked to spare al-Qaeda
from Russian air strikes even as two UN Security Council resolutions demand its
eradication. Huge supply convoys (vid) from Turkey are again going to the
"rebels" who will, as always, share them with al-Qaeda and other
terrorists.
The current
renewed Syrian Arab Army attack towards Raqqa is being obstructed not only by
sandstorms but also by a timely attack of al-Qaeda, Ahrar al Sham and Turkestan
Islamist Party forces against government positions in the south Aleppo
countryside.
More than 1,000
militants have begun an offensive against Syrian army positions southwest of
Aleppo, the Russian ceasefire monitoring center in Syria said in a statement on
Saturday.
The center also
reported civilians in Aleppo as saying armed groups partly made up of Turkish
soldiers had appeared north of the city.
The exactly same
scheme happened in March and April when a move towards eastern Syrian by the
Syrian army had to be stopped to prevent further losses against al-Qaeda south
of Aleppo. It seems obvious that these moves U.S. supported forces are planned
to prevent any gains of the Syrian government in the east.
Today Lavrov
again talked to Kerry:
"Lavrov
expressed concern about attempts to delay the resumption of political
negotiations under various pretexts," the [Russian foreign] ministry said.
As the U.S. is
unwilling to settle the Syria conflict Russia will have to retake the initiative.
Is this a trap?
Does the U.S. want Russia to sink into a quagmire in Syria? That is certainly a
possibility but it is hard to see how this could happen when Russia comes back
with a vengeance and strikes hard and fast.
Russian
airstrikes against terrorists in Syria have tripled over the last days.
Additional resources have been silently dispatched:
Without stirring
a buzz similar to that of their first military intervention in Syria, the
Russians this week disembarked ground forces and paratroopers in the port of
Tartus to support more than 3,000 Russian volunteers dispatched to the region
in the past few weeks, in a bid to revive coordination with the Syrian army.
...
Syrian sources
stated that the Russian joint command staff, which coordinated aerial support
operations last fall, had returned to the Hmeimim military base in Latakia
province to begin preparations for new operations.
One can only hope
that the Russian leadership has learned its lesson. That it will not stop to
pursue the enemy for no political gain when it is again, as it likely will soon
be, on the run.
