Twelve years on, the West’s warfare on Syria continues, with seemingly new plans to destabilize the nation and overthrow its management. This after years of brutal sanctions towards (and crocodile tears for) the Syrian individuals.

Earlier this 12 months, a dialogue between journalist Edward Xu and Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for the UN secretary-general, went viral when Xu’s questions led to a bold-faced show of feigned ignorance on the UN spokesman’s half. Requested whether or not he thought the presence of the US army in Syria was unlawful or not, Haq stammered out, “There’s no US armed forces inside Syria…I imagine there’s army exercise, however when it comes to a floor presence in Syria, I’m not conscious of that.”

Xu had referred to a US airstrike the day prior that had killed 11 individuals in Syria and requested for Haq’s touch upon whether or not or not Syria’s territorial integrity ought to be revered. Haq known as for “international forces” to train restraint, however presumably he didn’t imply US forces – since, in fact, in response to him, none have been there.

Haq’s declare of not being conscious of the unlawful presence of not less than 900 US troops on the bottom in Syria is contradicted by US officers’ statements clearly indicating such a presence exists and can stay for “many, many, years and many years to return,” as Basic Mark Milley, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Employees, stated in late August. After all the US has no plans of leaving Syria – why wouldn’t it, when there are such a lot of pure assets left to plunder (oil, gasoline, wheat…), because the US and its proxies have been doing for years. Former President Donald Trump even bragged about this in November 2019, saying, “We’re holding the oil…We left troops behind just for the oil.” 

Whereas the Xu-Haq alternate happened final March, it stays very related in the present day because the US and its allies gear as much as trigger extra instability in Syria, with the identical previous aim of overthrowing the Syrian authorities.

Syria 2011 destabilization ‘protests’ anew?

British journalist Vanessa Beeley lately reported on potential new Western efforts to destabilize Syria, fomenting unrest very like in 2011. However this time, the unrest is being fomented in Sweida province, with Israel taking part in an instrumental function, she stated.

In a subsequent interview on Redacted, Beeley acknowledged the variety of US army personnel and contractors on the bottom in northeast Syria is someplace between 2,000 and three,000. The US, she stated, continues to make use of al-Tanf, its unlawful army base within the southeast of the nation on the borders with Iraq and Jordan, to coach nonetheless extra militants to ultimately have them take management over a part of the Syrian-Jordanian border and thus shut off an essential land border for Syria.

Worse nonetheless is the prospect of Syria 2011 throughout, with the US and allies, “coaching 16,000 Druze fighters in Sweida,” with the intent of sowing chaos as in 2011. “There’s a very small minority right here that’s – with the backing of Israel and the US – in search of autonomy, similar to the Kurdish mission within the northeast, and a federalist mission to separate them from the Syrian State and to create an impartial statelet,” Beeley stated. “That is a part of the US-Israeli plan to Balkanize Syria and divide it into warring statelets. This motion is principally now being energy multiplied by the US at al-Tanf.”

She additionally highlighted a current go to by three US congressmen to a district in northern Syria managed by terrorist factions, stating that they’d entered Syria illegally (as Western politicians and company media choose to do) to fraternize with terrorist teams (as Western politicians and media choose to do).

Syrian analyst Kevork Almassian lately commented on the Sweida protests, noting that “the leaders of the protesters are calling for political decentralization, which is the flowery phrase for partition and autonomy of the province from Damascus.”

Syria’s financial system is in shambles now, largely a results of the US-led warfare on Syria and years of steadily extra brutal Western sanctions. “Can somebody please clarify to me how political decentralization will remedy the [economic] distress, and why nobody from these leaders of the protesters are asking the EU the US to raise the draconian sanctions towards them that’s inflicting all this distress?” Almassian requested. 

“Why is nobody from these so-called leaders of the protesters saying let’s go and liberate the jap shore of the Euphrates from the American occupation forces who’re occupying their oil and wheat fields?”

Good questions, as was his query on who advantages from the sectarian partitioning of Syria. The Syrian individuals? No. The US, Israel and allies? Bingo.

‘Anti-terrorist’ decision forgotten in favor of regime change

In her Redacted interview, Beeley acknowledged, “What we’re principally seeing is a resurgence of the sort of 2011 narrative of peaceable protests within the south, the will to overthrow Bashar al-Assad. UN officers are calling for decision 2254 which is successfully regime change and political interference within the political course of in Syria.” The decision she is referring to, adopted in 2015, known as for “free and honest elections” beneath UN supervision to be held in Syria inside 18 months, amongst different issues.

Again in 2016, I interviewed Dr. Bouthaina Shaaban, a political and media advisor to Assad. When emphasizing how the West was fanning, not preventing, terrorism in Syria, she addressed UNSC Resolutions 2254and the lesser-mentioned 2253, which entails stopping terrorism in Syria and prosecuting those that help, facilitate, or take part within the direct or oblique financing of actions carried out by ISIS, al-Qaida and related teams.

Shaaban stated, “You need to implement 2254? Implement 2253 first, after which it will be very straightforward to implement 2254. That is the double-standards of the West: they deal with their viewers with having a stand towards terrorism and desirous to struggle terrorism, when in actuality they’re facilitating terrorism and never even mentioning even a Safety Council Decision beneath the seventh Chapter that was taken 24 hours earlier than 2254.”

Washington can declare its troops are in Syria to “struggle ISIS,” however as I wrote some years in the past, these claims are transparently pretend, with a number of cases of the US-led coalition providing no resistance to terrorist advances and even facilitating their victories towards Syrian forces.

In simply one of many more moderen studies of US theft of Syrian oil, Syrian media on August 24 reported {that a} convoy of 60 tankers loaded with crude oil exited Syria to US occupation bases in Iraq. In August 2022, Syria’s Oil Ministry acknowledged that “US occupation forces and their mercenaries steal as much as 66,000 barrels each single day from the fields occupied within the jap area,” amounting to round 83% of Syria’s each day oil manufacturing, the Cradle reported.

As Milley boasted, the US intends to (illegally) stay in Syria for a very long time. To not “struggle terrorism” however to destabilize the nation nonetheless extra, impoverish and kill the individuals nonetheless extra, and loot its assets nonetheless extra.
