"The message to the Assad regime was that Russia doesn’t play by Assad’s playbook, it doesn’t want to get down in Syria’s quagmire (but) wants to cut its losses," Gerges believes.

The secret police backbone of Assad’s rule remains intact, he says, and "Assad seems confident again, after his much more sober tone last summer. The Russians may have helped him too much, such that Assad can maintain control of key cities and roads for a long time".

“Assad is plenty smart to know how to play one country off against the other. I am not even sure Russia would test its heavy pressure capacity against that of Iran in Damascus. The Russians know they might lose", Ford said.

"If the Russians felt it was time for a solution they would have reached an understanding with the Americans to give up on Assad without giving up on the Alawites. The circumstances are not ripe yet for a solution," says Sarkis Naoum, a leading commentator on Syria.

Речь идет о 250 спецназовцах

Администрация президента США Барака Обамы рассматривает вопрос об отправке 250 дополнительных спецназовцев в Сирию для обучения местных повстанческих групп. Решение базируется на рекомендации Пентагона с целью нарастить темпы борьбы с боевиками «Исламского государства». Об этом в пятницу, 8 апреля, CNN сообщил американский высокопоставленный чиновник.

Цель увеличения контингента американских сил состоит в том, чтобы подготовить местные силы для возвращения захваченных джихадистами сирийского города Ракка и иракского Мосула. Кроме того, Белый дом надеется использовать эти города для планирования внешних атак.

Изначально американские чиновники говорили CNN об увеличении числа военных в Сирии (где уже находятся 50 спецназовцев) лишь на несколько десятков, однако планы изменились и Вашингтон считает рациональным отправить больше военных.

Напомним, 2 апреля о планах Белого дома увеличить количество американских военнослужащих в Сирии также сообщало британское агентство Reuters. Тогда правда численность не озвучивалась, источники лишь говорили, что контингент будет увеличен в разы.

Как сообщала Politeka, 30 марта председатель Объединенного комитета начальников штабов, генерал морской пехоты США Джозеф Данфорд заявил, что Барак Обама уже в ближайшие недели может принять решение об увеличении числа американских военных в Ираке.

Как известно, 20 марта США направили подразделение морской пехоты в Ирак для помощи местным силам безопасности в борьбе с группировкой «Исламское государство». А 1 марта представитель американской администрации сообщил, что в Ирак были также отправлены бойцы спецназа Delta Force для уничтожения лидеров «Исламского государства», которые уже через два дня захватили ключевую фигуру в руководстве ИГИЛ.

Washington (CNN)The Obama administration is considering sending 250 additional U.S. special forces to Syria to advise rebel groups as part of a broader Pentagon recommendation on how to increase the pace of operations against ISIS, a U.S. defense official said Friday.

The goal is to lay the groundwork for local forces to retake both Raqqa, Syria, and Mosul, Iraq, and eliminate ISIS' ability to use them as areas from which to plan external attacks.

President Barack Obama emphasized the importance of that goal after a meeting with top commanders at the White House earlier this week.

"We should no longer tolerate the kinds of positioning that is enabled by them having headquarters in Raqqa and Mosul. We've got to keep on putting the pressure on them," Obama said Tuesday.
An increased level of special forces is just one of a number of possibilities.

If approved, these troops would grow the current U.S. Special Operations effort of up to 50 troops authorized to be in Syria. They are there to provide advice and assistance to moderate Syrian forces fighting ISIS.

That effort has proven successful in several recent battles, including efforts to cut ISIS travel between Raqqa and Syria and to retake the key town of Shaddadi in Syria.

"We are considering a number of different proposals to accelerate the defeat of ISIL by better enabling local forces, but no decisions have been made," said Navy spokesman Capt. Jeff A. Davis, using a different acronym for the terror group.

U.S. officials had originally told CNN the proposed increase would be just a few dozen because of the need to provide additional support forces such as aviation and intelligence. But another emerging line of thinking is to agree to an overall significant increase, publicly announce it and then send in the forces gradually over time.
As the Pentagon looks at trying to accelerate its campaign against ISIS in Syria and Iraq, the idea of increasing reliance on Special Operations forces is gaining traction, but officials caution a final decision still must be made. A number of options have been presented to the White House.

There will be an increased risk if the number of Special Operations forces rises. Their work is highly dangerous, as they operate in small teams potentially far from their base in northern Syria near the Turkish border.

The number of Special Operations forces inside Syria ebbs and flows, with perhaps less than half the authorized amount inside Syria at any one time, one official said.

The idea being discussed is to add more teams to the effort so perhaps the moderate forces can accelerate their own fighting. But some officials advocate keeping the numbers relatively small so they can maintain a low profile and not require additional transportation and supply support that might become visible.
One of the major tasks ahead is trying to get opposition forces geared up in the coming months to fight to retake Raqqa, ISIS' self-declared capital in Syria. The U.S. hopes Syrian Arab forces, as well as some members of the Syrian Democratic Front, which includes non-Arab fighters, will be in a position to do that with U.S. advice and assistance, the officials said.

The U.S. military has also restarted a small training effort for Syrian anti-ISIS fighters months after an initial effort failed.

The current training program has small numbers of U.S.-selected fighters from various groups, transporting them across the border to Turkey for several days of basic training. The fighters are given radios and taught how to communicate with U.S. forces. When they see potential targets, they inform the U.S., which then sends its own reconnaissance aircraft to determine if the target should be struck.

Options to increase efforts in Iraq may be less dramatic. U.S. officials are trying to see if the Iraqi government would accept additional fire support from either ground-based artillery or Apache helicopters. Additional U.S. trainers are expected to be sent to Iraq, with all of the increases aimed at helping the Iraqi forces prepare to retake Mosul.
