In collaboration with various terror outfits, the regime changers destroyed Syria, killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, and made more than 10 million refugees.
The popular narrative is that the NATO-Arab coalition with the United States at its helm turned Syria into a failed state out of "humanitarian concern," but this claim falls apart once the distorted lens of Western saviourism and colonialism is dropped and actual facts are presented.
In truth, the "humanitarian intervention" in Syria was predicated on the imperialist, colonialist, economic, and ideological interests of the Western-Arab states, masquerading for the world community as a democratic effort. It served to destabilize the planet, dismantle Syria as a unitary state, and recolonize it with "moderate" zealots, including ISIL and Al-Qaeda affiliates.
This becomes apparent when their economic interests (Qatar gas pipeline to Europe) and actions (proxy war, sectarianism, and regime change) in the five years leading up to the disaster named Syria are analyzed. It becomes clear that the most suffering endured by the Syrian people is the result of the actions of the United States and company, including millions of refugees still stuck behind the closed gates of EU purgatory.
No doubt, the terror proxies that today occupy some regions in Syria - and Iraq - were indeed manufactured by Western "democracy". Designed to turn Syria into a Western colony through assassination, terrorism, destruction of public property, and other acts of ethnic cleansing, the "moderate" zealots continue to receive CIA training and arms. They also receive the majority of their funding - and many members - from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.
Tragic enough, the situation in Syria did not improve when the War Party and its partners in crime decided to drop "democracy" bombs on ISIL either. The civilian toll in death and destruction is still running very high. Syria and its neighboring countries are still host to millions of refugees and displaced peoples. Although the bombing is dressed up as "against ISIL", all it really serves to do is destroy all that remains of the civilian infrastructure and hope.
As a consequence, the peace process has collapsed and good governance is a distant dream. The cause of peace has not advanced that much either, while terrorist groups have gained as a result. The US government's decision to support anti-democratic Arab regimes and invite "moderate" terrorist groups to the talks has been disastrous too. This is while no further military investment can make life better for the remaining population and anti-Syria fighters.
Here, far from developing a strategy to extricate the war from Syria, the Pentagon has already stated that it will keep troops in Syria, and gives every indication that they will resume a combat role despite the endless violence there. Simply put, it amounts to illegal intervention and avoidance of creative peacemaking.
This truth becomes obvious upon an investigation into how the actual bombing is being handled. The same strategy has also been practiced in Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan. The results are always the same: Broader sectarian violence, terrorism, a drop in living standards if any left, a huge resentment towards the United States and NATO from the targeted population, and a profit for their weapons manufacturers.
