The Russian-Iranian relationship is the most important…. It deserves

Written by Nasser Kandil,

The public Russian Iranian argument about the qualitative military cooperation which has linked the most important countries in the new world arouses a grief and an admonition among all the believers, that building more balanced world depends on the cooperation of two capitals that bear the burden of correcting the sick international equations which sent by Washington and caused the devastation and the destruction in more than one place. But the friends of Moscow and Tehran rejoice that the relationship between the two different capitals in many things has been settled on a high degree of credibility and the mutual understanding. Both Moscow and Tehran succeeded in raising its degree gradually despite the privacies and the sensitivities which surround their cooperation. Iran is an Islamic ideological country stems from imperial history, from haughtiness, pride, and an aspiration for a global role. While Russia is a liberal empire stems from high nationalism, old Caesarian history and an effective role in the Orthodox Church. The geography which lies in the middle of the most important countries in the Caspian basin and around, including wealth, and conflicts has remained under the control despite its complexities, and did not succeed in disrupting their common course in the cooperation, even the tactics which resulted from the difference of the sites did not lead to the crack of the alliance between them especially in the war which Syria witnesses and which occupies an important crucial site in the strategies of the two capitals. So it is normal that the friends feel stunned and express their admonition when the responsible parties in the two ministries of defense cannot control the discussion under the ceiling of this history regarding the successes and the level of challenges, and do not grant the enemies which ambush of them and their allies the opportunity of the slight smile, even if the opposite alliance disintegrates and its staff say worse words against each other every day.

It is not shameful for Russia to show its military deployment outside its borders, beyond the logistical need in the war in Syria, or to present it as an expression of its behavior as a superpower, the permanent criticism against Russia is that it leaves its allies without parallel cover to that offered by Washington, because it does not behave as it should be as a superpower. There is some kind of show in the behavior of the superpower but it does not affect the allies or seeks to derogate their majesty or to show that they are subsequent or tools but rather partners precede voluntarily to put in front of Moscow opportunities of behaving as a superpower, it does not make use of the growth of its greatness in a way or in a language or for colonial goals but it recycles the revenue of the achieved greatness in sacrifices and stability in which the allies have participated in order to get a share of this revenue. In return it is not disgraceful for Iran to anticipate for being treated as an adversary partner by Russia, since it is not a small country, and it does not ask for protection. It is the superpower in the region in and around which the major conflicts revolve. It is the country which reached in the military industry the degree of the great powers; it has military force that transcends the capacities of the great powers. So Russia has to consider its sovereign privacy. Furthermore its dare to open its airports in front of the Russian bombers must highly be appreciated not for logistical reasons, but as an expression of steel bridge that is settled by the two countries against the American hegemony which its owners have immediately expressed their concern about this cooperation.

A degree of silence and apathy which are perfected by the politics and decision-makers in the two countries, and a degree of observance and discourse under the table is needed in the moment between them, as we the resisters against the Americans hegemony in its brutal tools need for this Russian Iranian cohesion, for the gorgeous image of their cooperation, and to see the indignation on the faces of those who stand on the bank of hostility, and a confidence at all the friend, the keen, and those who find their choice not their bet achieves the profit and approaches from victory, that the intervention of the leaderships which control the decision will soon be able to encircle the ranges of debate which is true to say “ every cloud has a silver lining” in order to form the language which controls the communication between Moscow and Tehran taking into consideration the sensitivities, considerations, and the privacies which is the right of each one of them mutually.

The historic alliance which is proceeding and which was nominated by my friend the Doctor Faisal Al Mukdad the Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister as the alliance of the East and the Honor is not built just with the achievements but by learning from the points of weakness and the quick seek to restore them as an expression of the mutual understanding of the privacies. It is an alliance that is not only based on interests but also on a system of values that is preceded by the idea of the state of the national independence, and what it means by a mutual respect of the requirements to practice its concept in all the alliance’s countries which its countries do not like each other but only regarding their belonging to the system of East and Honor as the countries of the national independence. It is an alliance that based on blood, successes, clarity, openness, and correction to present a real example of how can politics and ethics meet in a world full of problems and complexities, thus it overcomes them and goes forward to achieve further achievements, on which the fate of many oppressed and agonized peoples in the ground depend.
