Trump will put forward Putin's conditions for the withdrawal of US forces from Syria

1
The meeting between the presidents of Russia and the USA - Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump - will be held, as expected, on July 16 in Helsinki. One of the priority issues that will be discussed by both leaders is the situation in Syria.





According to the American CNN channel, it is possible that the topic will be the topic of the upcoming withdrawal of the US military from the Middle East state. The channel claims that Washington will "allow" the Syrian authorities to regain control of the southern and southwestern parts of the country (we are talking about the province of Daraa and part of the province of Suweida). But the United States has a number of conditions.

One of them is that the militants who are in this zone must leave it alive and freely move to other regions under the control of the "opposition". As a matter of fact, this practice has been known in Syria for a long time - after negotiations, terrorists plunge into buses specially prepared for this and leave for Idlib or other parts of the country. On the one hand, the gangs retain their manpower, on the other - this allows you to avoid bloody battles in urban buildings and unnecessary casualties from the fighters of the Syrian Arab army and civilians.

But the United States has one more condition - Iranian forces must also leave Syria. This is precisely the main part of the deal: in this situation, Moscow must agree that it will put pressure on Damascus to break off ties with Tehran. In addition, the south-west of Syria should become a "zone of exclusion."

It will be more difficult to fulfill these conditions. Moreover, the very fact of such a formulation of the question can hardly be called otherwise than an unacceptable interference in the affairs of a sovereign state. However, when did Washington, together with its allies, stop at such acts?

Even CNN is forced to note that if the Russian president agrees to the terms of Trump, then there are serious concerns about their implementation in practice. Indeed, the problem is whether Moscow can make Damascus give up support for Tehran, which is a close ally in the current situation.

However, according to CNN, Donald Trump still wants to withdraw troops from Syria in the near future.

If so, then perhaps the terms of the transaction will be relaxed and it will be possible to remove impossible points. But hoping for this is hardly worth it, since the very American president inside his country is opposed by too powerful forces that are interested in continuing the war in the Middle East, in finding American bases on Syrian territory and in continuing to support Islamic extremists.

It is worth noting that at the upcoming meeting between Putin and Trump, in addition to the Syrian theme, presumably, the situation in the Donbas, Russian interference in the US elections, relations between the two countries and disarmament issues will also be discussed.

    USE must, at least initially, save face where they already lost. VV Putin needs not to rape the great pin.dostants who have already become cancerous. Let them knock over to a single mom. Fewer people will be killed in an already suffering country. That's the whole bargain, actually.
