In the book published in France by Antoine Mariotti “Shame of the West – the backstage of the Syrian fiasco”, there are sensational confessions of one of the leaders of the General Directorate of Internal Security (DGSI) of France.
As RT France journalist Ksenia Fedorova writes in her Telegram channel, in 2017, in a personal conversation with the French general, one of the DGSI leaders answered the question of why the Islamic State terrorist organization (banned in the Russian Federation) does not have its former potential.
“I will never be able to say this officially, but these are Russians. When the Russians entered the game, they put things in order. And it was the Russians who reduced the risk of terrorist attacks in France. They are not Americans or French. The Russians may have gone too far… But the fact remains”, – Antoine Mariotti quotes his confession in his book.
According to Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov, the words of the French counterintelligence officer once again prove that while the Americans in Syria imitated the fight against IS, dropping bombs into the desert or even flying out without a combat load, and tried to use IS against Assad, we really solved the problem.
“The title of the book “Shame of the West: Behind the Scenes of the Syrian Fiasco” is also interesting. However, this could also be called a book about the catastrophic consequences of the NATO war against Libya, and about the epic failure of the United States and its allies in Afghanistan”, – Pushkov writes in his Telegram channel.
