Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Monday 14 November. [Ukrainian sources] Empty "Is there a chance for Assad?" Russia does not exclude the Syrian "blitzkrieg" of Putin for Trump to legitimize Assad

Mon Nov 14, 2016 10:00 pm
"Is there a chance for Assad?" Russia does not exclude the Syrian "blitzkrieg" of Putin for Trump to legitimize Assad

After winning the presidential elections in the United States, Donald Trump uses Russia emerged in the US political break to achieve the final victory in Syria.

This opinion was expressed Russian political analyst and publicist Ivan Preobrazhensky in a commentary for the DW .
Moscow seems willing to exploit the situation and "legalize" its ally in the US - President Bashar al-Assad, whom the West does not recognize the legitimate head of the Syrian state. From the Kremlin's point of view, the election of the President of the United States, Donald Trump makes this possible. No wonder the Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin says "unprecedented convergence of positions" by Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart future.

Very few people, including in Moscow, seriously expected to win billionaire Trump's presidential election in the United States. After it the Russian politicians who had hoped for a radical change in Washington's foreign policy, euphoria swept. The most glaring example - an interview with NTV chairman of the lower house of the Russian parliament, Vyacheslav Volodin, who immediately found Putin and Trump "a lot of similar positions."

But how to check how realistic aspirations of the Kremlin optimists? Selecting the small. In theory, this could be a weakening of the sanctions and the change in the US position on Ukraine. However, due to the Ukrainian crisis, Washington will have to negotiate with its European partners. Donald Trump, of course, a rebel, but clearly not as much as he wanted to show it during his election campaign. This is evident by the way he refuses to previous promises, for example, talking about the readiness to save partially carried out by Barack Obama's health care reform. Hence, the relationship with the Europeans because Russia will not spoil it, the more that the European Commission is not going to discuss the lifting of sanctions.

If so, the litmus test for the new stage of Russian-US relations may be only Syria. The fact that Trump intends first of all to do exactly that question, believe not only in Moscow. Himself elected US President in his first post-election interview more accurately argues that more important - victory over the IG or the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. However, the head of Ashton Carter, the Pentagon has already warned him to cooperate with Russia on Syria. British Foreign Ministry, in turn, announced its intention to convince Trump that President Assad can not leave, because he is guilty in the deaths of four hundred thousand of their fellow citizens.

Is there a chance for Assad?

Despite the presence of a number of those wishing to continue to persuade Trump Syrian policy of Obama, the Kremlin really has a chance to turn the tide in their favor. And, of course, in favor of Bashar al-Assad, who, incidentally, also welcomed the Republican victory.

Moscow makes no secret that the Syrian policy change could begin in the coming days. While Trump is not yet fully the US president, and Barack Obama, according to the Russian leadership, especially not longer need to be considered, it is possible, for example, to resume the bombing of Aleppo and try to take the city to the inauguration of the new American leader.

Another option - to persuade the Iranians to help the United States in the operation to free the militants from the "Islamic State" of the Iraqi city of Mosul. This would prevent the Trump maintain sanctions against Iran, stand up for what American conservatives and the Israeli lobby, and hence, would help to further improve US-Iranian relations. That, in turn, would be on hand and Russia with Bashar al-Assad, as Tehran, of course, the chief lobbyist for the Syrian president in the world after the Kremlin. So it is hardly by accident over the weekend in Iran visited a representative parliamentary delegation of the Russian Federation headed by Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko.

The catch is that the Kremlin is too optimistic about his relationship with Donald Trump. Contrary to the hopes of Russian politicians, the new US president is no need to immediately demonstrate the great foreign policy achievements in international politics. We choose it in the first place, for internal political and economic promises.

So Trump could well afford, as it says his adviser - former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, "negotiate peace, but a position of strength." However, in this case, much earlier than he has time to recognize Assad, his foreign policy "stick" must face the Russian, because a position of strength, prefers to talk and the Kremlin itself. And then instead of improving is possible to predict a sharp deterioration in bilateral relations between Russia and the United States. And in Syria - a new war of all against all.
