12-Russie :
– Russia’s Dead-End Diplomacy in Syria @TheStudyofWar
-A complex power balance b/t #Assad & his backers -Evolution of Russia’s integrated military & diplomatic efforts -Russian limits in Syria -A way forward.
A meaningful diplomatic settlement in #Syria remains distant despite consistent US efforts to support one. Pro-Assad regime forces in #Syria have systematically violated prior ceasefire deals without facing significant consequences. That reality now undermines the credibility of calls for a nationwide ceasefire in the context of UNSCR 2254.
Bashar al-Assad worked to stack the deck in shaping the Syrian Constitutional Committee. He will continue to manipulate the existing Western-backed diplomatic process to support his maximalist goals.
