Abstract

Russian diplomacy advocates for the preservation of the Syrian government of Assad, understanding that the “rebels” sponsored by the US and its allies would cause destabilization and the advancement of Sunni Islamic fundamentalism in the region. While Russia supports the fight against jihadism through alliances between Syria, Iran and other powers, the US and its allies prefer to bomb both of them.
