Russian President is sure that the present troops in Syria, including forces of Iran, Russia and the army of Bashar al-Assad, will be able to cope with weakened LIH.

In addition, Vladimir Putin noted that trump’s words are not a guarantee of withdrawal of American troops from the region. The Russian leader referred to the situation in Afghanistan, where the U.S. military are still. According to the President of Russia, American politicians have repeatedly declared the withdrawal of troops from this country, but in reality the situation has not changed.

Donald trump in a few minutes after the statement of Putin, wrote on Twitter that Russia, Iran and Syria are unhappy with his decision to withdraw the US army from the region, because they now have to fight the Islamists on their own.

Also, the President again accused the media of spreading fake news because of their interpretation of the situation. Most publications agreed that the decision on withdrawal would play into the hands of the Russians and the Bashar al-Assad, and Islamic state still poses a great threat.

A premature US withdrawal from the Middle East could allow terrorists to recover and to provoke a new round of violence, say the experts on international security.
