For those who are afraid of the Russian reluctance in the negotiation with the American after the war in Aleppo has reached its peak and after the negotiation has reached the resolution points, it is useful for reading the Russian position in addition to the powerful stable positions which were announced against Al Nusra Front and the Turkish incursion to wonder about the implications of the negotiated inaction by Moscow for its status and interests, and what it achieved since its military balanced decisive positioning in Syria so far, so what wasproposed to Moscow to reformulate the settlement and the understandings?
Washington does not have what to present but what the Turkish Saudi despair puts of limits for their last wars which entitled the war of Al Nusra which aims to impose a fait accompli by extracting the northern of Syria and making it related to Turkey raising the flag of Al Nusra front or the Army of Fatih; which is its second name, among AlNusra front the armed formations which are supported by Turkey and Saudi Arabia such as Ahrar Al Sham and the Army of Islam crowd,headed by their political interface entitled the group of Riyadh. The available understanding was announced and it was reported by the US Secretary of State John Kerry; it is to include Al Nusrafront to the armistice and to expand the limit of the political negotiation to affect once against the fate of the Syrian presidency.
Actually the Russian acceptance of these demands means a cost that is higher than the cost of the war,becausetheir wining in the war will grant them a new canton in the northern of Syria that is similar to ISIS's canton in the east, but without a legitimacy or an ability to bomb the future of Syria through a federal fragmented country on a sectarian basis, where Al Nusra organization undertakes the responsibility of protecting the occupation in Golan and to provide it a security belt. The Wahhabis integrate with the institutions of the country hoping to become the ruling party and their doctrine is the doctrine of the country, where there is no place for the Syrian multiplicity and there is no place for a normal living among the components of the Syrian people, thus this acceptance means a Russian retreat of all the requirements of the phase after the military positioning and a return to what was so far before this positioning, where the war was determined by a negative balance, but without a dedication of the terrorism's legitimacy through its integration in the political process. The Russian retreat today means the return to Russia before 2000 in the era of Yeltsin and the tragic end of the sacrifices which the Russians offered during five years after they tested the consequences of its settled victories.
The American acceptance of the Russian demands is less expensive on America than on Russian if it retreated, Washington has accustomed to the settlements since the understanding on the political solution of the chemical weapons and later the nuclear understanding. In Syria there were understandings which Washington can base on to make them the ceiling of the war if itsstubborn allies which allied with Al Nusrado not response, where the party of the president can launch a war on ISIS in which it wins and gives its victory to its electors. Russia has many to lose if it retreats, while America has losses and profits if it standstills depending on the settlements. It is important to ask whether Moscow has the ability to retreat of the understandings towards its allies and who will facilitate the integration of Al Nusra within the understandings?
What is required from Washington to start the path of understating is a position, while Moscow is required in order to meet Washington on the crossroads to commit suicide, therefore it is wrong to think that the matters will proceed without the change of the American coping after a long hesitation and the utterance of the golden phrase; that the war in Aleppo is with Al Nusra which is not covered by the armistice, it has already said that by the mouthpiece of the military spokesman of the war coalition on ISIS the Colonel Steve Warren a week ago, and the Pentagon has stated it yesterday shamefully , however they will say it clearly after the field will say what it already proved before the birth of understandings.
The equations of the Russian national security are above the ethical considerations, they say that Moscow is committing suicide when it accepts to divide Syria with a Turkish canton in its north, because the balances of powers have been already tested and proved the opposite, and because the complement will be on the southern borders of Russia. Therefore the security of Moscow starts in Damascus as the Caesar Catherine the Second said once, now Turkey is debilitating.
