U.S. Demands Syria de-escalation under UNSCR 2254 as Assad Refuses to Engage – Another Escalation?

The United States has voiced concern over the escalating violence in Syria, with National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett highlighting the Assad regime's refusal to engage in the political process outlined in UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2254. The U.S. has called for an immediate de-escalation, protection of civilians, and the start of a credible political process to resolve the civil war. The U.S. also reaffirmed its commitment to protecting American military personnel and preventing the resurgence of ISIS in Syria. In the midst of these tensions, anti-regime groups have made significant advances, raising the stakes in this long-running conflict. #Syria #UNSCR2254 #USPolicy #AssadRegime #Deescalation #SyriaConflict #HayatTahrirAlSham #ISIS #SyriaCrisis #MiddleEast #InternationalPolitics ~HT.97~PR.274~ED.194~GR.124~

Biden's Big Challenge to Putin: White House Admits Allowing Ukraine Hitting Deep Inside Russia

The White House has officially confirmed a policy shift, allowing Ukraine to strike targets within Russia using U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS). National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated that Ukraine now has the green light to deploy these weapons for immediate defensive needs, particularly in areas like Russia's Kursk region. This move follows heightened speculation over the past week, during which Kyiv reportedly used ATACMS in strikes on Russia’s Bryansk region. The U.S. and NATO allies have continuously supplied advanced weaponry to Ukraine since 2022 while asserting that this support does not make them direct participants in the conflict. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned of severe repercussions, including nuclear escalation, if NATO’s involvement crosses certain thresholds. In September, Putin emphasized that Kyiv's use of long-range weapons could alter the nature of the war, effectively drawing NATO into direct confrontation. #WhiteHouse #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraineWar #ATACMS #NATO #MilitaryAid #Geopolitics #Putin #KyivStrikes #USPolicy ~PR.362~HT.318~ED.101~GR.122~
