Last week, the news about the interception by the US military of a Russian military column in the vicinity of the village of Mustafaya on the M-4 road in Syria resonated with RuNet.
The reaction of many users was reduced to emotional perception: «how so»?, «how dare they»?, «have we really given back»?
I’ll disappoint all the fans. According to the official assurance of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, no interception, in the sense that it seems to many, did not have. High-ranking representatives of the US Armed Forces also speak about this..
According to the release of the Russian military department, these contacts are interpreted as «examples of effective military engagement».
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation focuses on professional relations, that developed between the Russian and American military. The parties inform each other about any activity and therefore know and understand visible actions. In a situation of inconsistent activity in the areas of contact, channels of the so-called deconflicting are actively included, by which the situation is resolved.
US Special Envoy for Syria James Jeffrey echoes Russian military, who mentioned the interception of a certain Russian general a year ago in the area of Manbij. Without commenting on the details, he focuses on the fact that «everything was decided through military channels».
There is one subtle point, which explains the practical impossibility of an open military conflict between the US and Russian forces in Syria in principle.
Someone, and Americans respect the Russian army. While respected so much, that open hostilities will not go in any case. For disgrace to the fullest.
Russian Armed Forces have made a powerful technological breakthrough in recent years. But the modern Russian army is not only a bunch of advanced military technologies.
Russian army, among other things, these are the legendary traditions of military art and an unrivaled army spirit.
And the Americans, fought with Vietnamese peasants from helicopters, conductive «storm» on the latest technology against technology fifty years ago, know about it too.
And abstracting from the numerous and populist statements of politicians, indicative are the words of the commander of the US Navy in Europe, Admiral James Foggo, who advises US allies to strengthen their defenses «take an example from Russian».
Nobody needs a war
In general, you need to understand a simple truth. Nobody needs a war. And this is primarily understood by professional military. And this is the most important thing.
Peace for everyone!
