The American media called Russia "scavenger in the Middle East"

41

Russia has intensified in the Middle East, taking advantage of the fact that the United States, as one of the main players in the region, is experiencing difficulties in connection with the coronavirus pandemic and is reducing its military presence there. The Washington Post experts call the Russian Federation a “scavenger,” because, in their opinion, the Kremlin is not so much promoting its “great strategy” as collecting what remains after the United States.

Last Thursday, at a briefing at the State Department, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Middle East Henry Wooster spoke about the expansion of Russia's influence in the region:



Official Moscow widely uses disinformation, troops and intermediaries to spread its policy all over the Mediterranean.

Moreover, according to The Washington Post, the Russian authorities use a mercenary army, known as the "Wagner PMC", and act very opportunistically. Moscow has several important military bases on the Mediterranean Sea and is unlikely to want to leave them. At the same time, the US partially leaves Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and the question is when the US military will leave the north-eastern part of Syria.

    You might think that Russia is stealing Syrian oil, and is feeding terrorists with a half-digested burp, and, of course, Russia has plundered Iraq and Libya, the real scavengers are the under-hegemon and its Middle Eastern jackal Israel.

      Well, that’s their opinion. From their point of view. You know, my neighbors, grannies sincerely deeply and to one place for a very long time in that Syria. They have a pension in ... that in decent places, countries, is not even discussed. tongue And you can even crush chat with letters until tomorrow.

          But I'll put you a plus. For yes. Is American military technology probably alien to us in everything? And we will not remember about the Tu-4. And about a bunch of everything. This is not a single comment topic. AND 69 and that’s enough that I wanted to say in my first comment.

From the word in general. It is very difficult not to slip into a discussion of the individual, not the article. I understand the burden of opponents. And myself.

        We all wear Chinese jeans (Americans climbed trees in Europe when the Chinese were already making fabrics). I never went to McDonald's (I like normal food), Pepsi-Cola, etc. I never take it in my mouth (how can you drink this chemistry. I love "Swallow"). Star Wars is complete bullshit (the more Oscars, the dumber the movie).

        As for retirement, I can say that in America neighboring grannies also do not care about Syria, unlike ours, they don’t even know where it is. But their pension is such that they are not discussed in decent places. Let Americans better keep their opinions to themselves. So, theft and the purchase of technology is a normal occurrence between countries. Well, and about jeans, for example, he wore Indian, it was painfully hard to bear. And the Americans in those days by hook or by crook tried to buy our school uniform.

        You have such a love for McDonald's with Pepsi-Cola that can be traced with the rejection of the whole Russian, which inevitably, according to the comments, the effect of this happiness on your health is monitored. Or do you chew this poison solely from a protest against Putin ??? laughing

        You, comrade observer, for what purpose are you observing? Promotion of US charms? As my good friend used to say: "Flies separately, and sweets separately." There is something good in America, but the policy of the authorities has long been known. And in the prophecy from the Apocalypse it is clear (open ch. 13) that the beast with lamb horns, which reveals the essence of American democracy. And quite a lot of Amer. politicians who admit that since 1953 there have been active work on coup programs around the world. Now Venezuela is next in line.

        Well, why they take it, good products are obtained from it. For example, it is very difficult to obtain fuel oil, diesel fuel from US oil. I don’t remember about kerosene, because the oil is light. We have a hard one, from it you can get a lot more good. Therefore, the same Americans are forced to buy Canadian and Venezuelan oil. And yes, we ourselves consume almost 56 percent of our oil.

    The USSR was in Syria long before the advent of the United States with its barmales. How to dignify the one who picks up the remains of the same ATS, promising not to do this before? And the remains of the USSR (Georgia, Ukraine)? If the USA is a corpse (otherwise, why does the word scavenger appear), then leave silently.
    But how not to savor the overseas insults of our country by anonymous "experts", how not to help the Washington Post in spreading its lies.
