Citat:
Det är ju helt fantastiskt! Och ganska oväntat för min del, nu efter alla dessa förhandlingsturer, har USA bestämt sig för att dra tillbaka sitt stöd. Slänger dem under bussen, som du säger. Bekräftelse i the Guardian och i Reuters om att USA kastar "rebellerna"* under bussen:
You're on your own, US tells Syrian rebels, as Assad goes on offensive
Russian jets make first foray into south-west as government ramps up campaign to regain strategic area
Syrian rebels say U.S. tells them it won't intervene in south Syria
*) Den som påstår att alla stridande oppositionella i Syrien förutom Daesh är moderata rebeller har nog inte alla hästar i stallet minst sagt och ska nog inte uttala sig om vad som är vad i MÖ.
You're on your own, US tells Syrian rebels, as Assad goes on offensive
Russian jets make first foray into south-west as government ramps up campaign to regain strategic area
/…/The US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, said on Friday the Syrian military escalation “unambiguously violates” the de-escalation arrangement.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/24/youre-on-your-own-us-tells-syrian-rebels-as-assad-goes-on-offensive
“Russia will ultimately bear responsibility for any further escalations in Syria,” Haley said in a statement.
The strongly worded statements had raised the hopes of the western-backed opposition of a possible American military intervention in the event the Syrian army’s days-long bombing campaign broadens to an all-out offensive across the south-west.
But the US message told the rebels it was left to them alone to take the right decision on how to face the Syrian army’s military campaign based on what they saw was best for themselves and their people.
“We in the United States government understand the difficult conditions you are facing and still advise the Russians and the Syrian regime not to undertake a military measure that violates the zone,” the message also said.
The advice seems to be going unheeded by the Russians. Two tracking centres that monitor military aircraft movements recorded at least 20 strikes on Busra al-Harir, north-east of Daraa, two sources told Reuters.
Syrian rebels say U.S. tells them it won't intervene in south Syria
/…/A copy of a message sent by Washington to heads of Free Syrian Army (FSA) groups, which was seen by Reuters, said the U.S. government wanted to make clear that “you should not base your decisions on the assumption or expectation of a military intervention by us”.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-usa/syrian-rebels-say-u-s-tells-them-it-wont-intervene-in-south-syria-idUSKBN1JK00W
The United States had earlier warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his Russian allies that violations of a “de-escalation” zone agreed by the United States and Russia last year would have “serious repercussions” and pledged “firm and appropriate measures.”
The toughly worded statements coming from the administration had raised the hopes of the Western-backed opposition of a possible American military intervention in the event the Syrian army’s several days long bombing campaign broadens to an all-out offensive across the southwest.
The U.S. message also told the rebels it was left to them alone to take the right decision on how to face the Syrian army’s military campaign based on what they saw was best for themselves and their people.
“We in the United States government understand the difficult conditions you are facing and still advise the Russians and the Syrian regime not to undertake a military measure that violates the zone,” the message also said.

Jag har varit orolig att de kanske skulle satsa mer i Syrien nu när de backar i Koreahalvön. Men Trump behöver ju spara, så detta är ju klokt och förnuftigt.
Deeskaleringszonen omfattar ju inte terrorister och i söder är det ju all sköns jihadister som samarbetar med al-Qaida, så det där med rebeller är ju bara trams som vanligt. Lögner.
Så det bästa de kan göra nu är väl att fly till sitt andra hem Israel.
