Why Putin Is Withdrawing from Syria

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



DebkaFile reports;

The final limits of the military withdrawal, five months after the Moscow embarked on its intervention, were not defined. But the Kremlin did say that Moscow would retain a military presence at the naval port of Tartous and the Hmeymim airbase outside Latakia. This left the bulk of Russian military aerial and naval presence in situ; Putin is unlikely to give up this strong foothold in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The Russian president did not fix a timeline for the military withdrawal – only its start. Neither did he promise to discontinue all military operations in Syria.

He did say only that, “The task put before the defense ministry and Russian armed forces has on the whole been fulfilled”, and he spoke of a “fundamental turnaround in the fight against international terrorism.”
A sign of where Moscow is heading now was disclosed by his order to the Russian foreign Minister to “Intensify our participation in a peaceful solution of the Syrian conflict”

This was a reference to the UN-brokered talks resuming in Geneva Tuesday, March 15, between the warring sides of the Syrian conflict.

DEBKAfile’s intelligence circles noted that after Putin’s bolt from the blue, Russian warships in the Caspian and Mediterranean Seas remain ready to interfere in the fighting from a distance if the Assad regime’s situation deteriorates. They saw an omen of Moscow’s impending military exit in last month’s massive delivery to the Syrian army of advanced T-90 tanks and heavy self-propelled artillery.

Western sources viewed the shipments as further Russian investment in high-stakes Syrian military victories in the battles for Aleppo in the north and Deraa in the south.

But this assumption was negated by the Kremlin announcement Monday. The tanks and artillery were, in fact, provided to enable Syria and its Iranian ally to carry on fighting without Russian support.

The rift between Moscow and Tehran over the Syrian war came to a head on Feb. 19 during Iranian Defense Minister Gen. Hossein Dehghan’s visit to Moscow. The Iranian minister presented his government’s demand for Russia to back away from its deal with the US for a Syrian ceasefire.

Tehran wants the war to continue without pause. After walking handed in hand with Moscow in the Syrian arena for a time, the Iranians were aghast to find Putin turning aside and entering into collaboration with the Obama administration for an end to hostilities and a political solution to the conflict.

As for Assad, he has no intention of playing along with Putin’s plans for him to step down and hand over rule in Damascus in stages. Assad does not mean to quit at any time.

The Russian president may have acted now because he was simply fed up with the interminable bickering with his two allies, which was going nowhere except for the continuation of the calamitous five-year war. He therefore presented them with a tough fait accompli. If you want to carry on fighting, fine; but count the Russian army out of it.


Explanation @zurichtimes​;

A rift developed between the Persians the Russians and led to further war and further fighting. By allowing the Saudis and the Turks a green light to invade and take over more Syrian territory Putin gave them enough rope to hang themselves and then beg for this intervention and help once again.

Putin used the wait and see or the distract and mislead method to further delude his enemies. Who was this man, Putin?

What did the Persians do at this time was the one of the key questions to ask. Did they bite and launch a solo attack on the Saudis and the Turks or will they too retreat to see where the pieces have fallen to come back for another battle?

      The Russian’s will be pi$$ed, the only ‘reason’ so far is he’s achieved keeping ASSAD alive and pushed off the Americana i mean ISIS. I dont believe ONLY this reason for a minute.

      No because nibiru is coming by or a visit and, he wants his troops over to America to run the FEMA camps. Oh Lordy Lordy Thank god We have Alex Jones , to keep us inform .

      Another reason is the Russians are having a hard time maintaining their aircraft and tanks in the hot, dusty desert environment, and the fact that Russia used up all of it’s “Smart Bombs” months ago, and needs to restock. Russia is a military basket case with only limited resources available, and Putin fears he may need to reallocate his limited resources back to the defense of the Russian homeland.
      Currently there are many different threats Russia needs to be ready to face, and the drain on their supplies and equipment from the ongoing conflict in Syria is making it difficult to properly prepare for other problems that may soon arise.

        yup…sounds just like the usa too..keep your powder dry said the capt..the troops all replied,”sir,we have no powder”!!!!

      Russia is leaving because they accomplished their goal of establishing a military presence in the middle east. They will now proceed to the next strategically important location and do the same there. Russia couldn’t care less who’s running what country as long as they are allowed access. You will soon see China following suit. They are emboldened by the weak, impotent “leadership” of this country, and the asinine circus of the ongping presidential campaign. America will never again be respected or taken seriously by the rest of the world.

      Heck, he (Putin) is just saving his ammo for use here.
      When Trump wins the nomination, he will have to call for reinforcements to prevent his election.
      I do not trust these guys.
