Eindelijk is er een overeenkomst tussen Rusland en de VS om de strijd in Syrië te staken. Vanaf morgen wordt er een wapenstilstand van kracht die niet geldt voor organisaties die door de VN zijn gebrandmerkt als terroristen. De strijd tegen ISIS en El Nusra (de Syrische Al Qaida) gaat dus gewoon door. Voor de VS betekent dit verdrag een politieke nederlaag. De boze opzet om president Assad te verjagen en Syrië op te splitsen in machteloze sektarische staatjes, is mislukt. De VS krabbelt nu dus terug. Saoedi-Arabië en Turkije hebben nogal wat geïnvesteerd in dit project. Ook zij hebben verloren en ze zijn boos! Een reeks van video’s en artikelen verklaart de onoverzichtelijke situatie.

Laten we beginnen met president Assad. Deze man is de redelijkheid zelve! In december 2015 heeft Nieuwsuur een interview met hem uitgezonden, Nederlands ondertiteld. Eindelijk eens geen Assad bashen!

Bashar al-Assad interview on Dutch TV show Nieuwsuur (17-12-2015) duurt 22 minuten.

Syrië telt nu 4,6 miljoen naar het buitenland gevluchte mensen en meer dan 7,6 miljoen interne vluchtelingen. Ook is een groot deel van de infrastructuur verwoest. Wegen, bruggen, huizen, elektriciteitscentrales en zo voort, alles kapot! Het aantal doden bedraagt ongeveer een kwart miljoen.

Realiteit in Syrië is Nederlands ondertiteld en duurt 15 minuten.

Syria: A First Major Win Due To The Cessation of Hostilities Agreement
By Moon Of Alabama

February 25, 2016 “Information Clearing House” – “Moon Of Alabama” –

The Russian/Syrian agreement to the cessation of hostilities in Syria is seen critical from a military point of view. It would have been better to use the current momentum and to proceed fighting instead of giving respite to the enemy.

But the agreement has one huge advantage. It excludes the Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra. Every “western” media report on the agreement and its likelihood to proceed now has to admit what has long been denied. That the unicorn U.S. supported “moderate rebels” are in deep alliance with al-Qaeda.

Sticking Point in Syria Truce: Washington’s Support for Al Qaeda

Testifying Tuesday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary of State John Kerry faced intensely hostile questioning as he defended a Syrian “cessation of hostilities” reached with Moscow that is supposed to go into effect this weekend.

Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer of California suggested that the agreement might be little more than a “rope-a-dope” deal, while the committee’s Republican chairman, Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, warned that Russia would “continue to kill the folks that are our friends and allies.”

Kerry responded by stressing that there was a “significant discussion taking place now about a Plan B,” presumably entailing a major escalation of the US military intervention in Syria and a potential armed confrontation with Russia, should the truce deal fail to further Washington’s aims.

The Russian-American Agreement on Syria?

Yet Another Huge Victory For Russia

By The Saker

The recent agreement between the USA and Russia really solves nothing, it does not even end the war, and both sides are expressing a great deal of caution about its future implementation. And yet, this is a huge victory for Russia. While it is too early to say that “the Russian won in Syria”, I think that it is now fair to say that the Russian position on Syria has won. Here is why:

First: nobody is suggesting anymore that Assad will be ousted or Damascus taken. That, in turn, means that everybody has now recognized that Syrian Arab Republic, backed by Russia, has successfully repelled the aggression of the huge coalition the AngloZionists built to overthrow Assad.

Hoewel verder een prima artikel, blijkt dat eerste nu al niet meer waar. Luister eens naar de Nobel Peace Price winnaar president Obomba:

The US president has once again renewed his call for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down, saying there is no alternative to his removal. Barack Obama made the call during a speech Thursday focused on the Daesh terrorist group. He further said a planned cessation of hostilities agreed with Russia will go into effect tomorrow night. Obama added that attacks against Daesh and Nusra Front terrorists will continue during the period. The US president further urged Russia to halt its aerial campaign in Syria accusing Moscow of exacerbating the humanitarian situation. According to Obama the next few hours are critical in getting a tentative cessation of hostilities to hold.

Gaan we even naar Duitsland, waar Angela Merkel nu de Russen de schuld geeft van de humanitaire crisis in Syrië.

Turkey is Screwed. And it’s all US Fault

By Arras

February 25, 2016 “Information Clearing House” – “The Saker” –

Amid rising tensions between Turkey and Russia over the situation in Syria, one important fact got lost. It’s not Russia that caused the current Turkish problems. It was the USA.

The most fundamental problem modern Turkey is facing is the Kurdish question. It’s a chronic problem, which threatens the integrity of Turkey and the Turkish elite perceives it as the largest security treat the country is facing. Turkish policies in Syria are determined by the Kurdish issue more than anything else. The change from the so called policy of zero problems with neighbors, which Erdogan and his government used to promote, came as a surprise to many and is directly related to the Kurdish issue and the events in Iraq after the disastrous US invasion.

Wie dat hele artikel heeft gelezen, verbaast zich niet over het volgende, want Erdogan doet niet mee met het staakt-het-vuren. Erdogan heeft een bondgenootschap met Saoedi-Arabië. “Samen staan we sterk”, maar zonder de NATO en de VS zal het niet werken.

Ankara’s policy towards Syria, in particularly, the statements by the Turkish leadership, indicating the intention to conduct a ground operation in Syria, directly affects the Turkish Armed Forces.

The former head of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff of Turkey, Ismail Hakki Pekin, spoke to Sputnik in an exclusive interview saying that he was sure that the Turkish Armed Forces in Syria do not have those aspirations that guide Ankara.
