| Pro-Ukrainian? How very odd. |
[RIA] The American media are commenting with undisguised surprise on the "unexpected escalation of the situation in Syria," as they call a series of strikes on American military bases illegally located on the territory of this country. What is there to be surprised about? As US generals recently reported at a House Military Committee hearing, "Iran-backed forces" have attacked these bases about 80 times over the past two years. That is, in theory, such raids should already become common for various kinds of commentators.
But the military does not hide its surprise at the nature of the new attacks, which last Thursday led to the death of one American (the authorities constantly refer to the dead man as a “contractor”, without deciphering his occupation) and injuring six US servicemen of varying severity. According to The New York Times, citing two officials, the base's air defense systems were "not fully functional" at the time of the attack, whatever that means.
The Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar points to complete disarray in the ranks of the US military over how the kamikaze drone bypassed the high-tech defense system.
| That’s certainly one perspective. |
The publication calls the attacks "the beginning of resistance against the occupiers" and even connects it (of course, without confirming its assumptions) with the reconnaissance activities of Russian aviation. Just the day before, representatives of the US Central Command said that our aircraft "violated the airspace of an American military base" in Syria 25 times during March.
Agree, it’s funny to hear this from the lips of Pentagon representatives after their escapades against Russia in connection with the fall of their UAVs into the Black Sea. I remember John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the US National Security Council, called the restrictions imposed by Russia on flights near our borders "illegal." But as you can see, the Americans consider themselves entitled to impose much more serious restrictions on flights in the zone of their absolutely illegal occupation of the sovereign state of Syria - and they don’t see anything strange in this!
And the point here is not only the notorious double standards professed by Washington - everyone has long been accustomed to this. The fact is that the Americans, judging by their surprise at the attacks in Syria, have not yet realized what Pandora's box they have opened with their actions in Ukraine and the terrorist attacks against Nord Stream.
| Assuming the Americans did indeed do it, a thing not yet proved. |
They have not yet realized that by their own adventures they have made their military and mysterious "contractors" much more vulnerable (who, apparently, are engaged in an elementary robbery of Syrian oil).
| By robbery the writer means we are enabling the Kurds to control its sale, which supports their fight against ISIS and continued imprisonment of captured ISIS hard boys and their families. The alternative being to let them escape into the wild, which would be a bad thing for everyone in the region, including Russian forces busily supporting the Assad government. |
Now, anyone can shrug their shoulders and, trying to make a serious face, say: "Some pro-Ukrainian activists on camels got to the American base in Syria and attacked it with homemade Molotov cocktails." After the ridiculous version of the Nord Stream explosions, which is openly ridiculed in the United States itself, from now on, any sabotage anywhere in the world can be explained in the same spirit.
Well, and not confirmed by anyone, hints that Russian pilots allegedly aimed at American targets in Syria look completely frivolous against the backdrop of the revelations that the British The Times recently published in its report about a certain Ukrainian sabotage group carrying out terrorist attacks against the Russian military . in the Zaporozhye region. Without a twinge of conscience, these terrorists confessed to the reporter that they had committed a war crime - that they were deliberately ambushing medical evacuation teams. Moreover, they use the CIA satellite and a special program of the American intelligence service to select their terrorist attacks. Neither the British newspaper nor the CIA see anything shameful in this.
It is not surprising that American "soldiers of fortune" openly and unashamedly declare that while in Ukraine they do not consider themselves bound by "international rules of war." They are well aware that in a "world based on rules" and not on law, no funny body like the International Criminal Court will hold the American military accountable.
But as the Americans themselves cross more and more "red lines", expanding the boundaries of the unspoken "rules" they have established, they are beginning to face similar responses. And then they are surprised by the new nature of the attacks in Syria - after all, these are attacks against the very "rules" that operate in some parts of the world and do not work in others.
So far, the Americans have responded by bombing some targets in Syria, claiming to have killed up to 19 "pro-Iranian militants." Although local sources report that US aircraft bombed purely civilian targets, including food depots, killing seven civilians. According to the remark of US President Joe Biden himself that he "is not looking for a conflict with Iran", it is clear that the White House is seriously alarmed by the situation with its military in Syria. Apparently, they understand that this is only the beginning of a series of "unexpected escalations." After all, from these "pro-Ukrainian activists" who commit sabotage here and there, you can expect anything and anywhere.
