MOSCOW, (ST)- Chairman of the Russian State Duma Foreign Affairs Committee Alexei Pushkov stressed that the US position regarding the crisis in Syria is one of the main factors affecting bilateral relations between Moscow and Washington, after the US President Barak Obama put himself on the one- way path when demanded ” the stepping down of the Syrian leadership”.
In an interview posted on MK website, Pushkov ruled out that the US President will contribute to a military operation in Syria which means that armed conflict will take longer time and thereby have an adverse impact on the relations between Russia and the USA
He predicted that the global crisis will lead to the deterioration of U.S. leadership of the world and that only few years are left so as China to assume the world’s leadership, adding that the USD will collapse soon.
