WHY AM I FOR A RUSSIAN AND IRANIAN PRESENCE IN SYRIA?
- it'll prevent the return of ISIS to Syria
- it'll allow such a clear victory for Assad that the moderate protesters are going to have to get relocated, quite possibly outside Syria. that's entirely do-able, the EU alone has plenty of combined space. and we owe them. and the Syrian refugees are unlikely to want to live in Russia. and the rest of the Middle Eastern states do not have a refugee-absorption program (yet).
- Russia can with an naval and airbase in Syria prevent a sneak sea/sub-attack on their hard-won naval base in the Crimea (north-end of the Black Sea), something i find a very reasonable. And the chances of the Russians invading and trying to hold on the Aegean Sea (between Greece and Turkey) are non-existant. it's too easy to counter from air, land, and the seas west of Greece.
- Iran can with an naval and airbase only establish trade routes (Syria -> Iran by freight train) into the Mediterranean Sea, something that would boost their civilian economy.
and they pose zero threat to anything in the Mediterranean Sea or the Aegean Sea. and we in NATO and Israel can keep it that way by insisting the Meditterranean Sea remain a domain ruled by NATO, which means Russia and Iran can place only strategically valuable military assets on any base in Syria, not entire (powerful) fleets brought in by a regional arms-race, and definitely not any nuclear, chemical or biological weaponry.
- Iran can not think to use their bases in Syria (*if* i can manage to convince the West to let you keep those bases and possibly upgrade them according to some guidelines, the first of which i've posted in this message) to attack Israel in open or veiled/hidden/sneaky ways. Bad-mouthing Israel is one thing, seriously bad-mouthing Israel ('eventually we will remove Israel from the map' statements by anyone) is crossing the line into warmongering territory, but our real red line is that Israel should never ever actually be attacked (let alone with something big like a dirty of nuclear bomb, as i hear too many Iranians on this forum pray for publicly in English), or end up with (remote) neighbors that can destroy it within 10 minutes (Iranian nuke ICBMs {adapted from Iran's space program}) to 10 days (through the creation of a vibrant fundamentalist-muslim military industrial complex).
Before you claim i'm the hypocrite bully again, think about it carefully:
2 sides that hate eachother to the core, and who are equally armed, WILL go to war with eachother.
The more reasonable side should have very decisive military overweight, if you want confrontation incidents to not flare up into all-out war.
That is why the Palestinians are kept so poorly armed by the Israelis... Either you have to kill just a few dozen Palestinians when they walk up to the border in thousands (intent on starting mayhem among Israeli civilians if they'd have powerful enough weapons with them),
or you have to kill a whole bunch of Palestinians who think they can storm the border fence because they're well-armed.
So, IRAN..... : your objectives should be to start a commercial harbor in Syria and connect that by means of canals or railroads (far) inland to where the customers and producers of civilian goods are. and show that you're reasonable by not placing too many military boats or subs or planes on your bases in Syria.
After the WW2 was fully over, the American bases in Germany because quiet backwater assignments.
That's exactly how i want Iranian military bases in Syria to be instructed to behave.
For Russia in Syria it's slightly different, they get the prestige of putting some decent submarines on patrol from the entire Black Sea, the bosporus, the Aegean Sea, and the route to their naval base in Syria.
I'm also keeping an eye on the new nuclear weapons arms race between Russia and the USA.
with that, the US loses access to the Black Sea (for listening purposes) but we can offset that with more accurate satellite power. boats dont travel that fast.
what is the real purpose of this naval base for Russia in Syria? to make the Aegean Sea a place of stand-off for a naval invasion by NATO into the Black Sea.
And that's as sane as it was sane not to allow nukes and their launchers to be installed on Cuba.
Iran, your commercial role in this, also paves the way for https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/wate...ns-and-their-neighbours.547222/#post-10301457
