View from Moscow: Washington`s actions in Syria are alarm to regional allies, to Turkey first of all on its efficiency
ArmInfo. Washington;s actions in Syria are alarm to regional allies, first of al to Turkey on its efficiency, Andrey Sushentsov, Foreign Policy analytical agency head, program director of Valdai Discussion Club thinks. According to Pentagon official statement, on April 7 early in the morning United States Navy two military ships were released to Mediterranean sea, at least 50 Tomahawk missile to Air Base Shayrat in Homs province in Western Syria, practically destroying it. Immediately after American air strikes Turkey President Recep Erdogan announced Ankara's support of USA possible military operation against Syria.
In reality, the Syrian Government after the Washington's agreement to put up with Bashar Assad's political role in Syria, had no reason to give order on chemical attack. Analyses of Trump's impulsive actions allows to suppose that the apparatus surrendered to the manipulations of Syrian opposition. Besides, the absence of visible success in domestic issues settlement during first two weeks of presidency, give Trump's Syrian decision domestic political context', the analytic thinks.
From the point of military strategy Sushentsov estimates USA actions as non effective. In his opinion, this evidences warnings of Moscow before the attack on Syrian military objects. In the context of these facts, the analytic thinks that USA is not ready to take responsibility for the situation in Syria alone.
Donald Trump in his statement to the nation, justified US actions by Syrian President Bashar Assad?s violations of Convention on forbiddance of chemical weaponry, Damascus joined in 2013,after which reached agreement between Russia and USA on destruction of chemical weaponry supplies in Syria. Moreover, he called on other countries to join the struggle against Assad.
