The need for Syrian Conflict4156273

During the ongoing conflict in Syria involving the Bashar Al-Assad forces as well as the rebel army it could possibly have already been observed that "Syrian conflict" became one of the most crucial cases to the world. Both Vladimir Putin and Obama are making their points in showing it is in their countries interests to act. Therefore, it poses the issue why the problem in Syria is indeed essential for Russia and the United states.

Firstly, it can be worth mentioning the strategic geographical and political location of Syria - They have usage of Mediterranean Sea and is also in the center of four important countries/regions: Israel, Iran, Kuwait and Caucasian states. The initial 2 of them have hostile relations and also within the presidency of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the conflict seemed very plausible. Syria is located between those countries and Iran is strongest ally in the centre East, that make them a very strategically located country. The very last two countries, Kuwait and Caucasian states are relatively near Syria. It is important, is destabilization of Syria and the many Islamic extremist mercenaries (who partly make up the rebel army) may have impact on situation in those regions (Kuwait - which can be essential since it has become the fourth biggest oil exporter for the USA in last 20 years) and former Soviet Caucasian states, which may have already causing problems because of the 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 fascination with the Middle east) are really concerned about the syrian refugees charity. Obama feels more pressure than normal through 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 2nd, essential aspect could be the charge of the med Sea. The Russian Naval Base in Tartus established in 1971 under agreement of Soviet Union and Syrian governments may be basically named because the only opposition to USA/NATO domination in the Med. In the event of failure of Bashar Al-Assad, the use of Russian base could possibly be put under question from the new government. Moreover, Putin would loss his only ally within the Middle-east region and what is more, a return provider as Russia may 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 can be described not just as conflict between Al-Assad and rebel forces, and also being a conflict on the diplomatic domination between Putin and Obama. Every possible closure of the Syrian conflict will certainly have major influence on both relations between Russia and USA and also the desolate man the guts East.
