West again threatens Moscow with sanctions
The UK and the US looking for opportunities to put pressure on Russia and to compel it to change its line on the Syrian issue. As reported by RIA “Novosti”, said in an interview with the Sun, Minister of foreign Affairs of great Britain, Boris Johnson
The head of the British foreign Ministry accused Russia for the rape and murder of civilians. According to him, the West is gathering evidence against Moscow. According to the Minister, “this is undoubtedly a war crime”.
Johnson believes that if Moscow’s position in Syria will not change, she “absolutely will lose locations and admiration in the world.”
“The attitude to Russia in the world escalates, and I think now people believe that Russia is at risk of becoming an outcast”, — said the head of British diplomacy.
“Most powerful weapon” that can be used by the West against Russia, is “a shame,” said Johnson.
“The Sun suggests that it involves boycotting the British authorities of the 2018 world Cup, which will be held in Russia,” the article says.
Earlier, Johnson had allowed the introduction of sanctions against Russia in connection with the situation in Syria.
“All these issues will be considered”, — he declared in interview to TV channel Sky news.
The official U.S. state Department spokesman mark Toner confirmed that the U.S. is considering new sanctions against Russia in case of failure of dialogue on Syria. “Don’t want to talk about what we could do, I can only say that there are a number of possibilities, and we all consider them, study and contemplate. The sanctions are part of them”, — quotes the diplomat RIA “Novosti”.
The toner is reminded that against Russia have already introduced “quite severe restrictions” because of the conflict in Ukraine, which, in his opinion, demonstrated the effectiveness. However, he added that while the decision on new sanctions against Moscow is not accepted.
According to Toner, the operation of the Russian space forces in Syria, which began exactly a year ago, has allowed Moscow to carry out the immediate task is to support the regime of President Bashar al — Assad. “It’s hard not to conclude that they [Russia] failed to support the regime, and it is at the tactical level or as a short-term goal was clearly their intention,” the diplomat said.
USA are still “on the verge” of ending the dialogue with Russia on the Syrian conflict, said Toner. He recalled that talks between U.S. Secretary of state John Kerry and Russian foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday, to no avail. At the same time, the diplomat noted that Washington is in no hurry to “slam the door”.
In addition, the Toner expressed the view that the elimination of the boiler in the Eastern part of Aleppo, which turned out to be militants, will only strengthen the terrorists. “It will be a defeat for the whole world, because it will create more suffering for the Syrian people, and will create more chaos in Syria and will help to consolidate and grow is clearly terrorist groups”, — he said.
— While the U.S. under the “search features” you see a head bursting their requirements, guaranteed to keep Syria on the fate of Iraq and Libya — diplomacy will remain paralyzed, and the situation will change on the ground, ” says journalist, chief editor of “On the Line” Victor marakhovskii.
— According to the official representative of US state Department Mark Toner, the US are still “on the verge” of ending the dialogue with Russia on the Syrian conflict. Why pull? What else I hope?
— After the termination of the dialogue, the logic must be followed by a demonstration of power. This is not only fraught with the escalation of the war and the casualties among American soldiers, but also the risk of direct collision with the Russian soldiers.
It is in principle unrealistic option, and on the eve of elections in the United States is unacceptable. Therefore, the state Department on the case is “on the verge” is not between dialogue and the termination dialogue, between the current lack of dialogue and its beginning. To start it will the next administration.
— Previously Boris Johnson has not ruled out imposing sanctions against Russia in connection with the situation in Syria. Toner also confirmed that the U.S. is considering new sanctions against Russia in case of failure of dialogue on Syria. Do you concede that?
— Sanctions have already proved ineffective against Russia. In addition, the US usually force the European Union to carry out basic economic losses from their repression. The EU is now too difficult situation to whistle of Washington again to refuse to cooperate with Russia and, accordingly, money.
Therefore, most likely, new sanctions — if adopted — will be symbolic in nature. And exactly to the extent that there was a noise, but there was no loss to the economy of the United States and Britain.
— According to Toner, the operation of the aerospace defence forces of Russia in Syria, which began exactly a year ago, has allowed Moscow to carry out the immediate task is to support the regime of President Bashar al — Assad. Was this the main problem? Can we say that Russia has achieved a tactical or strategic success in Syria?
— The expression “Assad regime” used the American-European propaganda machine as a negative euphemism for “Syrian state”. If you unpack them demo Speke and translate it into human language — it will turn out that the task of Moscow was to support the Syrian state. Yes, it is the task of Russia, which in principle supports the sovereignty and capacity of all States of the world.
On the strategic success of this task will be possible to speak, when hostilities in the country cease, the militants of the numerous anti-government groups lay down their arms, and quasi-public education IG* in the East of Syria will cease to exist.
— Russia is predictable and operates in Syria and in other areas of its foreign policy exactly as it should the British-American intelligence agencies and their funders — the global oligarchy — the Director of the EurAsEC Institute Vladimir Lepekhin.
The task of Western puppeteers today is not that Russia withdrew from Syria. The departure of Russia from the region want the Turks, Saudis, Qataris, and other little things. As the world hegemon it is important for Russia in this region was, and would be in exactly the extent that is necessary to the Western puppeteers.
Russia in the last 25 years consistently acted in the role of pursuer, the defender of the player. She’s never and none of the powerful of the world did not break his game. Perhaps Crimea — the only exception. Actually, that’s why (for disobedience) Russia and got sanctions and other tough measures in relation to themselves — to “know their place”.
— Johnson did not rule out imposing sanctions against Russia in connection with the situation in Syria. Toner also confirmed that the U.S. is considering the option…
— As to Johnson and Toner, it is generally — no, the talking heads, that tomorrow I can say the opposite.
The signing of a private agreement with the United States on 9 September and its subsequent disruption by the Pentagon is absolutely predictable, because the West one with Russia does in the coming years will not sign (unless the President of the United States do not elect trump). And economic sanctions against Russia will be saved in the extent to which it should be the world oligarchy, in order to keep the power in Russia on the hook. The reason for these sanctions is irrelevant.
— Can we consider the words of Kerry that Russia managed to outwit, recognition of the fact that Russia was able to achieve its goals in Syria, and that the US can not prevent it?
— You need to understand that Kerry is nothing more than a talking head, but because his words are meaningless: I learned today one thing, tomorrow another.
Russia in the first six months of his Syrian campaign has achieved a number of goals, but — in the framework of the corridor, which she was allowed.
If desired, the US can disavow the achievements of the Russian HQs in Syria. But control the processes in the region, the state Department and the Pentagon. Controls the world oligarchy, in the plans is a serious strengthening of the United States. The global hegemon like the war of all against all, in particular the role of Russia as the “resist” part, and the image of the United States as the parties lethargic and losing grip.
— How you think the world’s changed attitude towards Russia and its position in the international hierarchy during the year the Syrian operation?
— British officials — one of the most puppet in the world. Enough to read Conan Doyle. None of them had ever objected to even to the most unimportant employee Downing street. Therefore, listen to them, and especially the foreign Minister (whatever his name is) who starts every working day with consultations in the security services do not respect themselves.
Russia’s position in the world for the year of the Syrian campaign has changed. She proved to be a real superpower in a military sense. And in this sense it can be a group of chips on the global Board game of go.
But is this Board still not Russia. In Russia there is no national elite as a subject of world politics. She’s not your game, not your world project. Russia remains a semi-colonial country, which diluted the chaff, driving it the old-tested methods of: sanctions, bribery, praise, blackmail, etc.
In other words, the first — no need to exaggerate the U.S. role in the world. Second — don’t underestimate the role of the world’s leading oligarchic groups, privatized Anglo-American intelligence agencies and the role of the global market in General. Third — we must not delude ourselves and about Russia’s role in the world — this role is under control; the Russian elite have not started in earnest on the sovereignty of its foreign policy.
