We reached a new low," the analyst said.
Doctorow described the US' behavior at the UN as "rude."
He also noted that
such rhetoric has been absent from the UN Security Council meetings for decades.
We have not seen "this level of open hostility and direct name calling" since 1985.
"The violence of this, the extreme hostility implicit in these actions
suggests that something more is going on between the two sides
than we find on the front pages of the newspapers," the analyst observed.
Doctorow further said that
the US-coalition airstrike on the Syrian Arab Army in Deir ez-Zor
and the SAA resuming air raids in Aleppo are not sufficient to explain this level of verbal hostility.
Doctorow recalled that
the Western media
did not cover the Russian Defense Ministry's press briefing
over Daesh's illegal oil trade with Turkey.
"That was dramatic. It was a fantastic demonstration. What was the result? Zero.
There was no coverage in the Western press
although all of NATO military attaches in Moscow
were scribbling furiously
and taking as many photos of the Russian flights as they could," he said.
In Doctorow's opinion, the Syrians and the Russians "can prove anything they like,"
but mainstream media in the West will "totally" ignore it.
"That is a sad fact today.
This is why
force and not diplomacy
seems to be resolving the question or seems to be addressing the question of what future Syria has.
Diplomacy has only been decorative."
