A “usual” story is repeating itself in Syria: Rebels rise up to challenge the government of President Bashar al-Assad, quickly capturing much of Aleppo and entering Damascus in a surprise takeover that has left the Syrian people stunned.
This is similar to what happened in the late 2010s, when Turkish-backed Islamist terrorists laid siege to Syria and seized several cities. The so-called Free Syrian Army went to war, also allied with Kurdish forces.
Note the paradox here today: Kurds are allying with Turkish-backed jihadists! The Ottoman Empire is reviving.
The then Obama administration had secretly funded the war with at least $1 billion, with the CIA aiming for regime change, in Syria.
The weapons funneled into the region by the US government ended up in the hands of ISIS and forces affiliated with Al Qaeda, while the political establishment cheered loudly. When President Trump came to power, he immediately ended the program, and “coincidentally” ISIS largely disappeared as a significant regional terrorist force…
Now, the same players who were then empowered by Obama’s pro-terrorist plots have returned with a vengeance, just in time for the next Trump presidency!
The recent successful attacks in Syria are being led by an Islamist terrorist front, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which has been renamed from its former name, Jabhat al-Nusra. Al-Nusra was founded as a direct “affiliate” of Al Qaeda and was a recipient of weapons from Obama’s CIA war on Syria.
The Syrian rebels are supported by Turkey, whose President Erdogan has openly trumpeted the Muslim conquest of Europe. As radical Muslims gain strength in Syria, more migrants will inevitably pile into the porous borders of globalized Europe to further rape and plunder these lands.
But why would anyone in the West sympathize with these jihadists?
The answer is Putin mania. Because the Assad government is closely aligned with Russian President Vladimir Putin, many in the foreign policy establishment want Assad removed, even if it means empowering terrorists who are at war with the West.
Losing Assad would certainly be a blow to Russia and Iran, but it would come at the cost of empowering the jihadists. This trade-off is not worth it. Killing Assad may be the worst blunder of Western interventionism yet.
It is easy for outsiders in the West to look at a leader like Assad and call him a despot and believe that the world would be better off without him in power.
The same policy was applied to Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi. These men were killed by NATO, but the results were devastating for the region and the world. Millions of people lost their lives, their property, and their futures, with no progress except for a significant increase in profit margins and a rise in the share prices of defense contractors.
If Assad is overthrown in Syria, the result will be extreme oppression of Christians in the region. Assad, like the Baathist Saddam, is a secular leader and protects the rights of Christians in his country. Assad prevented Muslim radicals from violating the rights of Christians in Syria and used his iron rule to maintain peace between the various religious groups.
The Turkish-backed beasts, known for beheadings, sexual violence, torture, arbitrary detentions, and desecration of religious sites, will not be so friendly to Christian minorities.
Because of the war in Ukraine, Putin may not be able to help Assad as effectively as he did in 2016-17. This poses a serious risk to the entire region.
The globalists are using every means to ensure that President Trump inherits the worst possible situation in the Middle East when he returns to the Oval Office.
Who are those who, wrapped in their cashmere, are plunging entire peoples into blood and misery?
