Dotting the I’S & Crossing the T’S
In Syria, the Americans will learn the meaning of a “Sovereign Country”
Written by Nasser Kandil,
The Americans knew that they are in the process of the war against Syria, thus they could not tamper with the Syrian country, and they did not find it easy to violate its sovereignty with their drones which were flying freely in the sky of Yemen for many years ago before the Arab Spring, and even without a coordination or informing the Yemeni government and its armed troops. The same applied in Pakistan the nuclear country, where the Pakistani sky is desecrated for the Americans, besides to the blood of citizens who were killed by raids that have targeted the terrorists. These violations are repeated while the government of Pakistan does not dare to claim a statement of clarification, so how to ask for an apology. But surely it is not improbable to deal with the American aircrafts as inimical goals.
The test has occurred when the fleets came to the Mediterranean Sea as a prelude for what the American President Barak Obama has called as the disciplinary strike against the violation of the red lines which he has drawn, and which Syria did not abide by. His speech and accusation were made to justify the war, but as a result the credibility of the threats of the American President has been shown, and the matter becomes more complex than just its leaning to lies. During the war against Iraq the matters have happened just like that but was the war, but in Syria the matters changed, the fleets have come and gone without a war. While the matter was the violation of the red lines of the American President and which cannot be passed without punishment, and that there was not any link between the fate of the chemical weapons of Syrian and the need of punishment. Washington has accepted to resolve the chemical weapon, it departed in order to face saving, while it did not accept a similar solution in Iraq despite the acceptance of the regime’s leaders at that time to negotiate on any file requested by Washington, but the response for every mediation was that the matter has been settled and the war has to take its place firstly, then the rest comes after. So the only solution which the American President has accepted at that time was that the Iraqi President and his assistants must leave and give the country to America. The American President George Bush has not said about the Iraqi President a speech that looked like what the American President Barak Obama has said about the Syrian President as an illegitimate president, and that he has to deport, furthermore, his days in the reign are countable, but despite all of that the American President did not dare to link the return of the fleets without war with the departure of the Syrian President as all America’s allies in the region aimed.
The difference is that when America has wanted to see the decision and the ability of Syria with the first trial missiles, the Syrian defenses have fallen them in the sea, so the American knew that the war is the war with one difference is that when the Iraqi officials tried to do the same, they found that their missiles do not work, because the electronic operating system has been disabled by the American intervention means, while in Syria the operating system is the home, the code is national, and the security protection of the network which is responsible for the missiles is national, all of these are unable to be violated, so when the Syrian officials pressed the operating buttons, their missiles have been launched and caused the falling of the American missiles in the sea accompanied by the decision of war.
After America had constituted the international alliance of the war against ISIS, Washington tried to behave on the basis that the announced goal of its raids while targeting ISIS made the Syrian airspace opened in front of it, lest of bearing the responsibility of supporting the terrorism. Syria has responded that every object that passes in its airspace without its contest will be treated as an adversary goal. But after the interfering of the international mediators, they reached to a temporary settlement; its content is that Syria remains considering the violation of its airspace by the American planes an illegal action, while the Americans notify Syria through mediators and by its ambassador in the United Nations with every raid and its goals and track. The matters have passed this way, but the Americans think that this facilitating requires a resolution to be applied to refrain the Syrian defenses from attacking any strange object in the airspaces, lest that it would be an American plane. This is supposed to be exploited by the Americans to expand the range of their drones’ movement to gather a larger quantity of the intelligence data about the Syrian army, its defenses, and the map of its deployment, but they did not take into consideration that what has happened was the opposite, because the Syrian defenses are alerted and ready to respond and fall any strange body unless was the contrary, in other words, to notify their leaders about the date, and the track of aircraft traffic which is agreed upon certain missions, in a way that the radars see and observe them, notify of their arrival and issuing instructions to leave them completing their missions and tracks.
The Americans wanted to test and discover the limits of the Syrian slackness with the movements of their aircraft traffic in the airspaces, so they have adventured with a drone, although they knew that it was out of the traditional range of their raids, and may they have decided if the plane has passed peacefully, it can target a site of Al Nosrah in the countryside of Lattakia, to prove the flights conventions without approval, even the traffic, transit, and raiding without prior agreement in any area of Syria, but the response was that the plane has been fallen by the Syrian air defenses.
Dropping the plane firstly, then talking; not vice versa which the Americans wanted to impose as a precedent, to pass and carrying out what its leadership has ordered, then returning, while Syria objects and waits for an American clarification.
Syria is a sovereign country, a vocabulary which the Americans must learn and memorize it well, and not to lose the connection with their drone as described by the spokesman of the American Army.
