Russia Blasts US for Refusing To Share Intel On ISIS

Fact checked

“Which Side are you Fighting for?” asks Russian Deputy Foreign Minister

ISIS

A senior Russian diplomat has said that Washington’s failure to share data with Russian intelligence about terrorist positions in Syria makes one question America’s goals when it comes to their anti-ISIS campaign.

Sergey Ryabkov blasted the refusal of the US to share intel on ISIS positions in Syria. He said that it “just confirms once more what we knew from the very start, that the US goals in Syria have little to do with creating the conditions for a political process and national reconciliation.“

Th deputy foreign minister continued: “I would risk saying that by doing this the US and the countries that joined the US-led coalition are putting themselves in a politically dubious position. The question is: which side are you fighting for in this war?”

Global research reports:

John Kirby, a spokesman for the US State Department, even admitted that “there’s no shared, common objective here about going after ISIL“. He suggested that “I don’t know how you can share intelligence when you don’t share a basic, common objective inside Syria.“

Igor Konashenkov, of the Russian Defence Ministry, had this to say on US defiance:

“Our partners from other countries, which view Islamic State as a real enemy, which must be destroyed unconditionally, actively help us with data on bases, depots, command posts and training camps of terrorists. And those, who, apparently, have a different opinion about this terrorist organization, are constantly looking for reasons to refuse to cooperate in the fight against international terrorism.“
The US, therefore, finds itself in a strange position. While claiming for so long to be the world’s leader in the infamous ‘war on terror’, certain figures within the US government are now openly hindering the fight on the world’s frontline against terror.

US objectives in Syria do not then consider eradicating ISIS as the highest priority, despite spending $10 million per day supposedly doing so, which explains the huge upstaging suffered by Russia; who is on the verge of eradicating ISIS after just one week.

Moreover, those who have argued that the US was only ever interested in regime change in Syria now appear to be vindicated, as these world leaders openly expose and rebuke US actions.
