After the disappearance of talk about the so-called “Arab NATO”, which came about with the “normalization” agreements signed by the UAE and Bahrain in 2020, it reemerged through two American reports. One is an interview with the Jordanian king published by CNBC last Friday, June 24, and the second published by American media outlet Wall Street Journal last Sunday, June 26. Since then, there has been a plethora of “analyses” related to the issue in various media outlets.

After the direct Russian military intervention in Syria at the end of 2015, “left theorizations” began to surface, which saw Russia as an “imperialist country” and its intervention in Syria the same as the American intervention there and elsewhere.

On July 30, the “Israeli” website MAKO published a long article in Hebrew entitled: Exactly 51 years ago: when the IDF set a trap for the Russian force sent to the region. The author of the article is well-known Zionist journalist Shay Levi.

Kassioun published in a previous issue, No. 1028, dated Monday, July 26, an article entitled: Regarding the Chinese-Russian “Contradiction” in Syria. Some statements and articles written on the subject over the past two weeks indicate that more can be said about the issue.

Today and yesterday, two important and amusing indicators emerged with regard to the Russian-American summit that is being held today in Geneva.

Talk about the Putin-Biden summit, which will be held on the 16th of this month in Geneva, occupies the top place in the various current political discussions. This is not surprising, especially when it comes to hot clashing points, as is the case in Syria.

During the last four months, since the new administration took office, the US rhetoric has been characterized by an escalation in most major affairs in the international framework, especially those related to the conflict with Russia and China, whether through NATO or the many European files, including Ukraine and the gas pipeline dossiers, and others. This rhetoric is in essence a continuation of the US rhetoric during the Trump era, though some details might differ.

Numerous readings and analyses have started to abundantly appear, about the Putin-Biden summit, which may be held sometime next month. The fact is that many details about this summit are still unknown, including the venue (which was said to be a third country, meaning neither in Russia nor the US), its date (next month is an approximate timeframe that has been indicated without specifying a specific day), and perhaps the most important unknown detail about this summit is whether or not it will actually happen.

Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Mr. Sergey Lavrov held talks with a joint delegation of representatives of Moscow Platform of the Syrian opposition and Cairo Platform of the Syrian opposition, today in Moscow.

Statements by Macron, Merkel, and other European leaders regarding the “Black Wednesday” the US lived were not statements of “solidarity”, but rather an expression of panic and fear of the horror of the scene that threatens of the “water reaching their shores”.
