The need for Syrian Conflict636631

During the ongoing conflict in Syria between your Bashar Al-Assad forces as well as the rebel army it might are already observed that "Syrian conflict" has become one of the extremely crucial cases for your world. Both Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama are making their points in showing it's of their countries interests some thing. Therefore, it poses the question why your situation in Syria is really essential for Russia and the Usa.

Firstly, it can be worth mentioning the strategic geographical and political location of Syria - They have entry to Med which is in the center of four important countries/regions: Israel, Iran, Kuwait and Caucasian states. The very first 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 is their strongest ally in the centre East, which can make them a very situated near commercial establishments country. The past two countries, Kuwait and Caucasian states are relatively near to Syria. The most important thing, is always that destabilization of Syria and the large numbers of Islamic extremist mercenaries (who partly make up the rebel army) may have effect on situation in those regions (Kuwait - that is vitally important mainly because it may be your fourth biggest oil exporter to the USA in last many years) and former Soviet Caucasian states, which may have already causing problems due to activity of the company's extremist groups. Hence, both Russians (avoiding destabilization and increase of influence of extremist groups in Caucasian states - mostly Chechen groups, who're actually Muslim) and USA (supporting Israel against Iran and protecting their economic curiosity about the guts east) are extremely concerned with the help syria. Barack Obama feels more pressure than normal in the Israeli government (and apparently the Kuwait government which is supporting the rebel army from the beginning), who emphasize the specter of Iran for your Middle East. The second, essential aspect is the charge of the Mediterranean Sea. The Russian Naval Base in Tartus established in 1971 under agreement of Ussr and Syrian governments may be basically named since the only opposition to USA/NATO domination on the Mediterranean and beyond. In case of failure of Bashar Al-Assad, a good Russian base might be put under question with the new government. Additionally, Putin would loss his only ally in the Middle-east region what is actually more, an income provider as Russia could be the biggest exporter of weaponry for Syria. Lastly, Barack Obama follows the ideological superiority of USA over other countries and thus feels obligated to intervene in Syria. The conflict in Syria can be described not simply as conflict between Al-Assad and rebel forces, but additionally as a conflict in the diplomatic domination between Putin and Obama. Every possible closure from the Syrian conflict is sure to have major influence on both relations between Russia and USA along with the way forward for the Middle East.
