The need for Syrian Conflict296186

In the ongoing conflict in Syria between your Bashar Al-Assad forces and the rebel army it may have been observed that "Syrian conflict" became one of the extremely crucial cases for the world. Both Vladimir Putin and Obama made their points in showing it is of their countries interests some thing. Therefore, it poses the question why the situation in Syria is so very important to Russia and the Usa.

Firstly, it is worth mentioning the strategic geographical and political location of Syria - It has access to Mediterranean and beyond which is in the center of four important countries/regions: Israel, Iran, Kuwait and Caucasian states. The initial a pair of them have hostile relations and particularly under the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the conflict seemed very plausible. Syria is found between those countries and Iran could be the strongest ally in the Middle East, which can make them a very situated near commercial establishments country. The last two countries, Kuwait and Caucasian states are relatively close to Syria. What is important, is the fact that destabilization of Syria as well as the large numbers of Islamic extremist mercenaries (who partly from the rebel army) may have affect situation in those regions (Kuwait - which can be essential because it continues to be the final biggest oil exporter to the USA in last 20 years) and former Soviet Caucasian states, who have already causing problems due to activity of its extremist groups. Hence, both Russians (avoiding destabilization while increasing of influence of extremist groups in Caucasian states - mostly Chechen groups, who will be actually Muslim) and USA (supporting Israel against Iran and protecting their economic fascination with the center east) are incredibly worried about the help syria. Barack Obama feels a lot of pressure from the Israeli government (and apparently the Kuwait government which can be supporting the rebel army right from the start), who emphasize the specter of Iran for your Middle East. The other, essential aspect may be the power over the med Sea. The Russian Naval Base in Tartus established in 1971 under agreement of Soviet Union and Syrian governments could be basically named because only opposition to USA/NATO domination on the Mediterranean Sea. In the event of failure of Bashar Al-Assad, the existence of Russian base might be put under question through the new government. In addition, Putin would loss his only ally inside the Middle-east region and what is more, an income provider as Russia will be 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 as a conflict within the diplomatic domination between Putin and Obama. Every possible closure of the Syrian conflict will surely have major impact on both relations between Russia and USA along with the future of the guts East.
