Nasser Kandil wrote: The US-Russian escalation

  • One of the rare times, the escalation reaches its peak between Washington and Moscow on these days.
  • After the cessation of the work by Russia with air understanding to prevent the collision in the Russian airspaces, an air incident was about to occur in the Baltic between US aircraft and the plane of the Russian Defense Minister.
  • Moscow canceled a regular meeting of coordination and consultation in the bilateral and international issues between American and Russian diplomats.
  • The escalating developments based on a sharp attraction that started in Syria after the dropping of the Syrian fighter and then a Syrian drone by America.
  • Since Trump took-over the power, America has behaved according to equation that it can strike, justify, and say that it is the last time, and that will not be repeated and then it repeats it.
  •  Russia cannot continue to forgive and to threaten.
  • This time, the Russians decide to behave differently; they tried to experience the steps of the gradual estrangement in the fields of cooperation which turn into false US hypocrisy with the continuation carelessness of Washington about the commitments.
  • Washington does not have the choice to abandon the coordination because it does not have the choice of going to an open confrontation, and the stopping of the coordination means the progress of Moscow’s allies in the Syrian geography.
