The value of Syrian Conflict7611221

Through the ongoing conflict in Syria involving the Bashar Al-Assad forces as well as the rebel army it may are already observed that "Syrian conflict" has become one of the very crucial cases for the world. Both Vladimir Putin and Obama make their points in showing it is in their countries interests some thing. Therefore, it poses the question why the situation in Syria is really important for Russia along with the U . s ..

Firstly, it can be worth mentioning the strategic geographical and political location of Syria - It has entry to Mediterranean and beyond and it is in the heart of four important countries/regions: Israel, Iran, Kuwait and Caucasian states. The initial 2 of them have hostile relations especially within the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the conflict seemed very plausible. Syria is located between those countries and Iran could be the strongest ally in the center East, which can make them an incredibly strategically located country. The past two countries, Kuwait and Caucasian states are relatively close to Syria. It is important, is destabilization of Syria along with the large numbers of Islamic extremist mercenaries (who partly from the rebel army) could have influence on situation in those regions (Kuwait - which is very important since it has been the 4th biggest oil exporter for the USA in last fifteen years) and former Soviet Caucasian states, which may have already causing problems as a result of activity of their extremist groups. Hence, both Russians (avoiding destabilization while increasing of influence of extremist groups in Caucasian states - mostly Chechen groups, that are actually Muslim) and USA (supporting Israel against Iran and protecting their economic desire for the Middle east) can be extremely concerned about the syrian crisis charity. Barack Obama feels more pressure than normal from your Israeli government (and apparently the Kuwait government which is supporting the rebel army right from the start), who emphasize the threat of Iran for your Middle East. The next, very important aspect may be the control of the med Sea. The Russian Naval Base in Tartus established in 1971 under agreement of Ussr and Syrian governments could be basically named because the only opposition to USA/NATO domination in the Mediterranean Sea. In case of failure of Bashar Al-Assad, the existence of Russian base could possibly be put under question with the new government. Furthermore, Putin would loss his only ally in the Middle-east region and what is more, a profit provider as Russia is the biggest exporter of weaponry for Syria. Lastly, Barack Obama follows the ideological superiority of USA over other countries and so feels obligated to intervene in Syria. The conflict in Syria may be described not simply as conflict between Al-Assad and rebel forces, and also being a conflict within the diplomatic domination between Putin and Obama. Every possible closure in the Syrian conflict will certainly have major affect both relations between Russia and USA and the desolate man the center East.
