ukraine i think is is quite serious and the americans seem quite happy to escalate this they are in syria again situation is quite dangerous there americans are shooting at russians any one of these could spiral out of control so the front lines of this new. cold war are now much closer to russia and. much more dangerous so and i think which wasn't true during the cold war the original cold war there is a feeling among policymakers in washington that russia is basically very weak and that in any armed confrontation between america and russia america would win pretty easily and that there then the russians would have only one resort which is to escalate and you clear weapons but there they already think the russians would risk doing anything that's so foolish and therefore awful just simply back down and accept the u.s. had germany and realize that there's no way in the world that they can ever rival the united states and i think this is very dangerous there is some kind of calculation like this going on in the among policymakers in mary weigh in on that because you know you know i get may

to this nation likely to be in the north of the country one of the last major burble strongholds in syria this is similar previous moves during the syrian civil war where rebels have been evacuated from places such as such as homs other towns as well under the cease fire agreements and moved up to the province and thus allowing the syrian government to move in take over the area and avoid. protracted conflict causing more bloodshed we don't yet know if the statement from jaish al islam and these rebels leaving the area are linked we don't know what group from either way though this does mark a significant development and could leave the door open to why the evacuation of rebel fighters and civilians from the area in the coming future investigative journalist rick sterling believes the evacuation will help to stop the bloodshed or . around damascus. they have their base of operations that is libyan and clearly the the strategy of the syrian government and their allies is to remove the terrorists from the more populated areas and get them all concentrated in is deal with that down the road
