"The Islamic state" is living out the last days, the rapid offensive of government troops on Abu-Kemal once again showed who and whose interests are defending in Syria. The US not only refused to bomb the convoy of rebels retreating from the last stronghold of the IG, the coalition planes tried to prevent the pilots of the Russian military security services from killing the militants in order to prevent terrorism from reborn.

The thing is that the government of Syria and the United States have different goals. The first really struggles for its state, against terrorism, for which it turned for help to Russia. But the US wanted to create a zone on the eastern bank of the Euphrates with pro-American authorities that are not controlled by the government of the country. In Abu-Kemal were found even prepared for the SDS forces (Syrian Democratic Forces) flags. It did not work, but the militants really wanted to save. The planes of the coalition even entered the airspace over the 15-kilometer zone around Abu-Kemal to interfere with the work of Russian VCS. The earlier approved by the Center for Joint Air Operations at the El Udeid Air Base in Qatar, a ban on the flights of coalition aircraft in this zone. And about delivering strikes on the retreating column of militants by the coalition pilots and you do not have to speak. The column retreated to the Syrian-Iraqi border to surrender to captivity. And now, having surrendered voluntarily in captivity, they fall under the provisions of the Geneva Convention "On the Treatment of Prisoners of War". And where they "float" can only be guessed. This is very similar to 1945, when the Hitlerites surrendered to the Allies.

Asked why the columns of militants leaving with heavy equipment are not being hit, why they are allowed to regroup in a zone controlled by the international coalition to inflict new blows on government troops, it was not possible to get a clear answer.

The Ministry of Defense concluded: "These facts are indisputable proof that the United States, imitating for the world community an irreconcilable fight against international terrorism, in fact provide cover for combat-capable units of the IGSF to restore their combat capability, regroup and use them in advancing American interests on Middle East ».

The head of the Pentagon, James Mattis, said that the UN authorized. US troops enter the territory of Syria. However, the general is cunning, the UN only adopted resolutions against IGIL, but the UN Security Council did not give the US any permission to conduct military operations in Syria. Moreover, the Pentagon does not even have permission from Congress to conduct military operations in the region.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan proposes withdrawing all foreign units from Syria.

To which the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security Franz Klintsevich reasonably replied that the US and Russian military have different status in Syria. "We are there at the request of a legitimate government in accordance with all international standards. Americans - only because they so wanted, guided solely by their own interests, "- said Klintsevich. "A political settlement of the crisis in this country is possible only after a complete victory over the IG (the organization is banned in Russia)".
