Nasser Kandil wrote: The US red lines

  • After the arrival of the US President Donald Trump to presidency there were analyses and reports that talk about a change of the international and the regional equation which rules the war on Syria, its basis is the presence of new US red lines against Syria and its allies.
  • The launchers of the new equation about the red lines have depended on the US strike on Al Shuairat Airport and on the US raid near Al Tanf.
  • It has been said that the first red line which was drawn by the strike on Al Shuairat is to prevent the Syrian army from changing the military equation with the armed groups to ensure the balanced negotiation and the need to return to pre- Aleppo.
  • Within the past two months since the strike on Al Shuairat Airport the Syrian army has resolved important districts in Damascus and has recaptured them from the opposition as Al Qaboun, Barzeh, Tishreen , and has resolved the countryside of Hama and has expanded in the eastern of Aleppo.
  • It has been said that the second red line which was drawn by the raid of Tanf is to prevent the Syrian army and the popular crowd from meeting across the Syrian-Iraqi borders.
  • The Syrian army continued its progress eastwards from the south, center, and north while the popular crowd continued its progress eastwards, so their meeting will not be deterred by threats.
  • The US red lines are a psychological warfare that neither affects Syria nor the resistance.
