With Russian involvement in the Syrian conflict coming to an end, it’s important to understand why Russia wants to keep this war going. Russia has supported the Assad regime from the beginning of the civil war and was involved in the conflict from early on, but now it’s sending troops into combat zones and conducting airstrikes, which have intensified since September 2015. Why? It all comes down to pipelines and Vladimir Putin’s desire to return Russia to its Cold War glory days as a military power. Here’s why Russia is prolonging war in Syria and what it means for global stability.
The mission of the Russian Armed Forces is to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Russian Federation, as well as to defend the country against external aggressors. In recent years, however, the focus of the Russian military has shifted from protecting the borders of the Motherland to projecting power abroad. This change in policy is evident in Russia's involvement in the Syrian Civil War, where it has been supporting the regime of Bashar al-Assad since 2015.
Victory in war has traditionally been understood as the total defeat of an adversary. However, in recent years, some strategists have argued that victory can also be achieved through other means, such as wearing down the enemy's will to fight or achieving a more favourable political outcome. In the case of Russia, it seems that the latter goal is what Vladimir Putin is hoping to achieve by prolonging the war in Syria.
In any war, there are always multiple sides fighting for different reasons. In the case of Russia, they are fighting against ISIS, the rebel forces in Syria, and the Free Syrian Army. However, it's important to note that everyone in these groups is an enemy. In fact, many of them are civilians who are caught in the crossfire.Despite of this we can not forget the creepy strategies played by USA in this zone .
Russia's actions in Syria come at a great human cost. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, over 400,000 people have been killed since the start of the conflict. That's an average of nearly 1,000 people per day. Of those killed, approximately 10% are children.
The idea to prolong the war in Russia likely came from Vladimir Putin himself. After all, he is the one who ultimately benefits from the conflict. By keeping the war going, he can maintain his grip on power and continue to make money off of the arms trade. Additionally, prolonging the war also distracts from Russia's domestic problems. All in all, it's clear that Putin has a vested interest in prolonging the war. Moreover, the biggest deal for Russia to have control over fuel prices. If this war prolonged in future then the fuel will rise up to the highest mark of the century. Is the new era of Armageddon is going to start? What will be the feauture of this planet? As it says three vision of next generation, Vaccine, Technology and War. Wait and Watch
