When he woke up, Syria leader Shara actually went on his word. After returning from a meeting with Putin in Moscow, Syria leader Shara not only did not agree to restore Russia's two important military bases in Syria, but also suspended all Russia-Syria agreements.
Russia's Tartus naval base in Syria and the air base in Hremim, which is the "top pillar" of global strategy, Tartus port is the Russian Navy's only deep-water haven in the Mediterranean Sea, warships can go to Europe and the Middle East to do business at any time.
The Hremim air base, with more than 50 fighter jets and helicopters deployed, can extend its coverage from Iraq to Africa, and even support the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, if these two bases are lost, Russia's "sense of presence" in the Mediterranean will be directly reduced to zero, and the capacity to pressure Europe will be greatly reduced.
As a result, the Salad government made a "precise strike" as soon as it came up: not only did it not restore the base, but it also cancelled the Russian company's management contract for Tartus Port. This was a cruel move, which not only cut off Russia's military retreat, but also cut off economic cooperation, and Russia's influence in Syria was instantly "cleared".
The government’s “liquidation” operation is more than a military base, and Syrian Foreign Minister Hibani said directly: all the military, economic, and energy agreements signed between Assad and Russia, all!
These agreements are the "ballast stone" of Syria-Russia relations. They cover everything from selling weapons to digging for oil together. Now they are all suspended. This is equivalent to overturning the foundation of cooperation in the past few decades and directly falling to freezing point.
What's more, the Salad government also regards "extradition of Assad" as a bargaining chip. Assad still has many supporters in Syria. If Salad really hands him over, there is no fryer in China?
However, in the end, the two sides failed to reach an agreement on this matter, exposing Sala's "cowardice" under domestic political pressure. She wanted to please the West, but also dared not completely offend domestic forces.
In the past few years, the West has slowly lifted sanctions on Syria, Germany and France have also invited Sale to visit, Trump these Western leaders are more cleverly pulled him, giving money to promise.
This wave of operation, obviously playing "right-to-right", both wants to rely on Russia to handle Western interference in Syria's internal affairs, but does not want to be Russia's "little class", but rather want to extract some practical benefits from the West.
However, the risk is not small, if the West does not meet, the salad government may have to "two heads not good", the Russian side is guilty, the western side has not profited, and may eventually play itself in.
To be honest, when I first saw the news that Sala "regretted", I still thought that this guy was "too floating", but after checking the data, I realized that this was not "floating", but clearly "calculated clearly"!
Syria’s years of war have shaken the turmoil so badly that what the government now wants most is stability and development, rather than continuing to play the game of great powers.
On the Russian side, it was simply "paying the lady and falling off," originally wanted to rely on military bases and agreements to stabilize the influence in the Middle East, and the result was a "butty salary".
What's even more embarrassing is that Russia now doesn't even dare to agree to the option of "handing over Assad" easily. After all, Assad was an ally supported by Russia in those days. If he really wants to hand it over, who will dare to mix with Russia in the future?
But the days of Sala are not even better, there are a lot of supporters of Assad in the country, and whether the economic aid promised by the West can fall to the ground is also unknown, if the West would just take Syria as a "Russia balancing" game, the Sala could later be rejected by both sides, and eventually fall into a "outdoors are not people" final.
This game makes it clear to me that small countries play the balance between the big powers and have a very high level of political wisdom; and if the big powers want to maintain global influence, it is not enough to rely on military bases and agreements, they must really profit their partners.
Otherwise, once the partner is "anti-water", the stronger strategic backbone can also collapse instantly.
