Recently, a Turkish fighter jet strayed into Syria’s airspace. The Syrians managed to successfully
shoot down the jet using the Russian-supplied air defense system. This caused a
huge ruckus from Turkey, NATO and the US. Turkey started threatening Syria with
war and military intervention under NATO law. It convened a meeting of NATO
members to decide on a course of action which will be used to punish Syria for
this flagrant act of aggression.
There are a few problems with this scenario.
1. Turkey has been the most active member of the anti Assad team, and has hosted rebel training camps and weapons-smuggling operations for months. This Turkish support for the rebel fighters in Syria has been responsible for thousands of deaths. It is clearly Turkey who is the aggressor, not Syria. This being the case, it is hard to see how NATO can justify acting on behalf of its own members when they are the aggressor. IF Turkey was innocent and Syria attacked it, NATO would already be bombing Syria. That it is not shows who’s really to blame!
2. It is clear that Turkey sent its fighter plane into Syrian airspace deliberately. This may have been an act of provocation which would be used to justify military aggression on Syria later on, but also an attempt to test Syria’s air defenses. Although the result may have scared Turkey and NATO, which now see that Syria’s air defense systems are formidable enough, which would make any air assault on Syria a huge gamble.
The last scenario may have led NATO to rethink its Syrian position. Yes, the US still wants to enact regime change in Syria, but may be trying to do it in a less direct way, without the use of air power which is vulnerable to Syrian defenses.
Recently, the US and its lapdogs met in Geneva with
representatives from China and Russia to try to come up with a solution. There
is now talk of a transition period where some kind of a power-sharing agreement
will be worked out and members of the current Syrian government will govern
alongside new reformist officials.
Russia has stressed that only the Syrian people can decide
for themselves who they want to govern. The US seems to ignore this fundamental
demand and has already jumped the gun by saying that Assad must go regardless
of what happens, presumably even if he should win an election.
Killary Clinton and the US government are totally ignoring
the fact that Assad has a lot of support in Syria. What is the US planning to
do? Overthrow Assad and just ignore the multitude of people who support him,
like they ignored the Iraqi military after overthrowing Saddam Hussein in Iraq?
We all know how that turned out!
This latest agreement sounds too good to be true, because it
is. Killary Clinton has already expressed the true US intentions by stating
that if this plan does not work, Article VII of the UN Charter will be invoked.
This article will give the UN permission for military action should the new
plan fail.
Of course, while Killary signs this plan, she, along with
the homicidal government she represents has absolutely no intention of
respecting it. They will continue supporting the rebels with money and weapons.
The rebel scum will commit more massacres, bombings, assassinations and mayhem,
and then all the resulting deaths will be blamed of Bashar Assad. Then the US
will announce that the transition plan is “not working,” and start bombing
Syria for non-compliance.
I have said this before, and I shall repeat it again: The US
has absolutely no intention of resolving the Syrian crisis (which it created) peacefully. The US has only one aim, which is to
overthrown and kill Assad, destroy the Syrian military, the economy and its
political system. Then the US will rebuild Syria from the ground up according
to its interests and for its own benefit, using pro-US and Zionist puppets. The
people whom the US cared so much about, will be turned over to the US corporate elites
and become irrelevant. And if any of
them dares to whine or confront the new US-installed government, they shall be
accused of terrorism and being in league with Al Qaeda and stomped out with
500-punds bombs.
This latest proposal for a political transition in Syria is
just another sneaky way to cajole Russia and China into unwittingly allowing a
UN resolution which will allow an armed intervention in Syria.
This irrational and schizophrenic US behavior towards Syria
and Iran is not all really about those two countries. It is just an indirect
method for challenging and undermining Russia and China. This process is
already under way, as domestic US sanctions have already forced Russia and
China to curtail some of the dealings with Iran, and it is costing those
countries dearly.
One thing that is beyond doubt to anyone who is educated
about world affairs is that America’s escapades in Syrian and Iran have nothing
to do with spreading democracy and freedom. If that were true, the US would
crack down on its Saudi, Bahraini, and Qatari allies for massacring their own
citizens. But this is not the case. Those regimes have been quietly encouraged
and supported by the US in their human rights abuses since they faithfully
serve American economic, corporate and military interests.
The majority of Americans are too stupid to see this, but
make no mistake. The people who are being injured and killed by their own
governments as a result of this criminal US hypocrisy see it well.
This US policy towards Iran and Syria show how degenerate
the US diplomatic corps has become. It no longer negotiates but threatens. It no
longer compromises but bribes. It exaggerates the lack of freedom in other nations
and at the same time it exaggerates the amount of freedom in the US itself.
