Deuce again: geographical cretinism diagnosis of American politics

That U.S. Officials do not have a wide knowledge in various sciences, has long been known. It is not about high matters and about the school subjects, often introducing a stupor representatives of the "Nation's best". Proof of this before it became the passage to the commander of the special operations forces of the antiterrorist coalition james gerrard, who said that thousands of syrians are fleeing from deir-ez-zor in mayadin from government forces. So, according to gerrard, people go not to the South, inhabited by arabs, and North into the territory controlled by the "Syrian democratic forces. " all is good, but in the words of the representative of the allied forces there are some inconsistencies.

For example, mayadin, where to "Run" people who is not in the North and in the South. If it is on the map. In the North is the town of raqqa recently released with fanfare just the same coalition led by Washington, but is absolutely not suitable in order to anybody rushed from the village there remained only the sign at the entrance. At the same time, mayadin, became, in the opinion of mr. Gerrard, a refuge for "Oppressed regime", as, indeed, and deir-ez-zor, became available for the return of civilians only because of the actions of government forces and the Russian vks who have managed to secure from the terrorists their long-term stronghold.

Is it possible in such a situation, weary from years of war, people only return to their homes? according to the american side, it would be too easy and uninteresting. Boring in a word. However, the weak geographical knowledge, as well as the low political culture was different earlier, and other representatives of the american establishment. Australia instead of austria, Iran instead of Iraq, a heroic attempt to defend the democratic future of the defunct, but no less focused on the freedom of the country called limpopo – the list of absurdities that sound from lips of officials of the state, claiming the title of world hegemon, is very long. And perhaps such oversights were able to induce a condescending smile outside observers, if not one "But": too often the deliberate stupidity of the officials turns to grief for millions of people of different nationalities and religion.

And here already not to smile.
