The fact that the conference has been delegated it is Medvedev, it is understandable. The Russian prime minister has always sought to refrain from harsh statements he – dove. That is soft, almost plush. And in Munich, in spite of the harsh voice, Medvedev did not set ultimatums to the West and accused of all mortal sins, and, noting the deep crisis, he urged to resume the bilateral dialogue. I agree that this is a bit like Leopold of the famous cartoon mouse who called insidious: “Guys, let’s live together.”

But some “click” listen “Leopold,” “snorting and laughing.”

Syria as a testing ground for cooperation

However, some observers have linked the giggles and snorts with the fact that in the hall there were many detractors Russia from among the representatives of Ukraine. And if Medvedev though crowded conference took place in a relatively small room, managed to escape on the way to the podium and back clashes with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, or governor of Odessa region, Mikheil Saakashvili, the harsh questions Ukrainian deputies he could not escape. A pretty lady to the applause of the audience sternly asked why Moscow avoids responsibility for crimes against humanity, and in particular for aircraft shot down over the Donbas.

Not helped Medvedev and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who addressed the Russian prime minister. “Russia is becoming more aggressive and destabilizing the European order, so we have to give to these actions an adequate response,” – said the NATO secretary general. Fortunately, sparring partner, Medvedev was neutral French Prime Minister Manuel Valls.

However, Medvedev was also a strong “support group”, which includes, paradoxically, and US Secretary of State, John Kerry, and, of course, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Let me remind you, on the eve of the Munich conference the main opposing forces in Syria came to a mutual agreement on a cease-fire in Syria. However, until now no one has any confidence that the agreement will be respected – Turkey continued shelling positions of Syrian Kurds in northern Syria, and Assad’s army continues to press the opposition on the outskirts of Aleppo.

But, be that as it may, the first, even a formal step in to stop the bloodshed made jointly by Russia and the United States. And now we are talking about further cooperation between the two countries military efforts to combat LIH.

The stumbling block is that, as the United States believe – and this is reiterated in Munich Kerry – Russian VKS bombed position other Syrian anti-government forces, which are involved in the current peace process.

In Russia it is responsible: let’s together make a list of goals in Syria, which will be allowed to bomb the West as the aircraft of the antiterrorist coalition countries and Russia. United States, at least in words, agree with this proposal.

Speaking in Munich, Kerry urged to reach a clear agreement on the Syrian issue. “We must say frankly that it is impossible to ensure humanitarian access and the cessation of hostilities, if not jointly agree on all aspects – political, humanitarian and military – Secretary of State said. – We need to agree on whom to strike when and where. ” So what’s the deal?

US between Scylla and Charybdis

The US political leadership was in a rather difficult situation. On the one hand, it can not turn its back on NATO member – Turkey. Washington sided with Ankara in history as with Russia shot down a Russian Su-24, and the charges of the Turkish authorities to the fact that Moscow continues to violate the airspace of the country. But at the same time, the White House can not accept an ultimatum and Erdogan: “Choose who you: with us or with the Kurds” Kurds America considers an important force in Syria, opposing obscurantists of LIH. But, on the other hand, the US does not want to allow the expansion and influence on the north Syrian Assad army-backed Russian. Their worries asadovtsev opportunity to take control of the border with Turkey, which will certainly provoke a sharp response to Erdogan with his increased self-esteem.

It turns out that Washington, on the one hand, like the supports joining the battle troops in Saudi Arabia and the transfer of aircraft in Riyadh at Turkish airports, and on the other – is opposed to Turkey’s shelling of Syrian Kurds.

For the Obama team full-blown military conflict between Assad, Russia, Iran, on the one hand, and Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, on the other – a nightmare in a presidential election year. However, as has already happened many times in history, the situation can begin to develop their own according to the laws of logic, when the rush to battle extremely aggressive-minded players.

Against the ground war in Syria between the act and the vast majority of presidential candidates from both parties. Leading Republican candidate Donald Trump has just taken place at the next debate once again called for cooperation with Russia. He is convinced that Russia “could be a useful ally in the fight against LIH” and the US “can not wage war on all fronts at the same time.”

“We spend billions of dollars on our so-called allies and at the same time do not even know exactly who these armed men, whom we support in Syria. Do we want to continue and to open a new front with Russia? “- He asked.

Other candidates – Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush – are more negative with respect to plans of cooperation with Russia, but none of them to open confrontation and does not call. Leading the debate, we asked the opinion of centrist John Keysika, Governor of Ohio, which has shown good results in the primaries in New Hampshire. The United States “must make it clear what they expect from Russia, but it does not threaten not to call her opponent,” said he.

Meanwhile, in a large American press heard shouts that were unthinkable even, perhaps, a year ago. “In Syria: Thank you, Russia” makes a headline to an article influential newspaper The Boston Globe (who wants to can read the original https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2016/02/12/syria-thank-you-russia/UNKMxrzQvvAt8j4sJH03mJ/story.html)

“Once again, Moscow has shown that is better able to make strategic decisions, we – the newspaper said. – Russia is not the ideal partner for the United States, but sometimes its interests coincide with ours. In such cases, we have to stop the hostility of “cold war” and to work with Russia. The best place for this – Syria “.

Our train is on the main road

But as far as Russia itself contributes to the cessation of hostilities? See news releases Russian TV channels anxious and sad. The country is experiencing a serious economic crisis, rising prices, falling wages, foreign companies are fleeing the country, more matures irritation in society, and at this time we are shown the endless military maneuvers, the Syrian bombing, it became almost a daily meeting in the Kremlin with army generals and representatives of the military-industrial complex.

How angry arrows were fired by Kremlin propagandists against the British Air Force, which recently showed a documentary-fiction film about the possibility of starting a third world war. In it we are talking about a hypothetical revolt of the Latvian Russian-speaking residents of Daugavpils, which are disconnected from the city, we created a “people’s republic” and appealed to Moscow, which supported them and sent troops to the conflict zone. After that – the war with one of the members of NATO and the exchange of tactical nuclear strikes. It’s almost like the old Hollywood blockbuster “The next day” – an all-out nuclear war.
