Syria – Destabilization via States – United States, Israel and Turkey Sponsored Terrorism

Update: December 9, 2024.

The political leaderships on the world stage and some with aspirations for recognition as the ultimate be all and end all figure in semblance with Ottaman empire are not necessarily hidden.

In modern day representing the caliphate such as the Muslim Ummah or the region viz. the Middle East and even with desire to lead the entire more than 55 or more Islamic nations in the world invite enormous responsibility including credibility and trustworthiness on all matter, the conflict resolution in particular.

That being the case, the characterization of any other leadership or government within the region i.e. former counterpart in Syria Bashar Al-Assad as tyrant, dictator, authoritarian etc.,

Meanwhile, Turkey sharing the legacy of creation and fostering terror organizations and terror outfits IS, ISIS, Al-Nusra Front…in Syria in 2011 with spill over across the region such as Iraq, Libya until date leading to the latest coup in Syria through terror faction HTS conveniently referred to as rebels by western media and allies are anything but reliability to restore peace, stability on own turf or in the region.

Notwithstanding, Turkish leadership’s violent crackdown on own population in Turkey viz. Ankara, Istanbul and other cities in 2011 – 2016 and later resulting in the deaths of peaceful civilian protesters due to brute force deployed by the national government under Recep Tayyip Erdogan Presidency to quell non-violent dissent in world view are irrefutable.

Furthermore, the Turkish leadership President Erdogan constitutional modifications to remain in power indefinitely from Prime Ministership to Presidency in the last two decades ironically exemplify the qualities and characteristics described of the one removed from power in Syria.

The collusion and complicity facilitating terror outfits to destabilize neighboring states whether Iraq, Libya or Syria across the border has been proven deadly for Turkey as well as others in 2011 and thereafter.

Turkey’s self-inflicting violent endeavor previously experienced in the aftermath of nurturing terror against Syria and Kurdish groups significantly backfired in bomb blasts and terrorism against ordinary Turkish population triggering mass peaceful dissent against Turkish leadership Erdogan to renounce terror sponsoring at that time.

The triangle – Israel, United States pressuring Turkey having hamstrung President Recep Tayyip Erdogan government with plummeting Turkish lira earlier on non-compliance or reluctance does not bode well for neither in the lofty ambition to install terror organization to head Syria.

The latest event in Syria is long espoused determination of the Barack Obama – Biden administration with then secretary of state Hillary Clinton in 2011 and now catapulted in 2024 with Israel in exchange for political backlash in the United States Presidential election 2024.

The conventional wisdom serves that harboring ill-will accompanied by deliberate harmful installations premised on failed state ramifications replicating that of Libya, Afghanistan…with dismissal of dire consequences to diverse population of different denominations and faith in Syria eventually blowback at all those behind the malicious intentional destruction of the cradle of civilization viz. Syria.

What goes around inevitably comes around to the origin and catalysts with severe impact in this lifetime without having to slight the unknown future.

The replay of the same old movie in the region is least surprising.

Someone’s bitter enemy is another’s close ally. So says political tradition.

Syria was already carved into different sizes of varying proportions like the pizza with assortment toppings sliced for the ravenous to feed on to heart content though contentment is oxymoron to the ever remaining famished for power, land grab, fame and fortune in the dark age.

The latest movie released in Syria by those unable to digest own colossal loss in political defeat resulting in emphatic ouster by the electorate succumb to wanton indulgence seeking removal of power elsewhere / anywhere regarded even Steven in the zero sum game.

Never mind not learning the lesson ever from the same old recycled script prototyped back in 2011 – chaotic cataclysmic the so-called Arab Spring – the hoax experiment conducted in the middle east region essentially resuming the western role especially the United States and NATO to decimate sovereign nations and destabilize political situation in the targeted regions in accordance with ominous sinister the Project for New American Century – the infamous PNAC.

What the predecessor Bush – Cheney administration inaugurated viz. the PNAC in 2001 – 2008 with gung-ho military aggression,

The successor Barack Obama literally sharing the blood line with the former militaristic occupants in the White House exceeded well and beyond through violence deploying drones  earning the erstwhile title – “The Drone King” besides diverse military interventions in the Middle East and world wide between 2009 – 2016 claiming credit on the PNAC mission accomplishment.

The carpet bombing of Libya under the false illegal pretext of No Fly Zone in Tripoli, the Libyan Capital and Benghazi Gate under then Nobel Peace Prize coveted Barack Obama and Biden administration together with enthusiastic allies from then leaderships in Britain – the former PM David Cameron and the ex-President of France – Nicolas Sarkozy executed the aerodynamics in aerial bombing amid No Fly Zone ignoring fleeing civilians plea to cease airstrike.

The U.S and NATO joint airshow in Libya violating UNSC implemented with all three permanent members – the United States, Britain and France enforced No Fly Zone rule in 2011 represent the most defiant violent trajectory in military operation on foreign soil.

The political left as democrat Barack Obama administration in the United States and the political right conservative government in Britain and France alliance exhibiting U.S. and NATO combined air power while imposing No Fly Zone prohibiting self air-defense in Libya in April 2011 are perhaps merely the display of western peaceful resolutions (?) to eliminate those not cowering to western diktat.

Syria has been the target all along and one of the prime strategy for 2009 – 2016 Barack Obama U.S. administration to complete in PNAC goal.

Now the same Barack Obama administration under the proxy Biden – Harris term electorally ushered towards exit had to somehow achieve what was demanded back in 2011 – the termination of Syrian leadership Bashar Al Assad.

What more could be comforting for the egregious revengeful political mindset than revival of brutal legacy wreaking havoc between 2009 – 2016 dominant in toppling governments and causing political upheavals all around including Ukraine in 2014 dragged into prolonged quagmire in February 2022 – till date or for that matter creating political maelstrom in South Asia – such as Pakistan and Bangladesh in 2022 – 2024. Similarly the political turmoil in Maldives on the Indian Ocean.

All those engaged in land grab viz. Israel seizing control of Golan Heights buffer zone and others Turkey cheer leading the latest rebel Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) Islamic front, the Sunni war faction mobilization ( the rebranding of the former al-Nusra Front designated as terror outfit till date by the west and middle-eastern allies) albeit now funded and fueled by them for personal and political interests not barring strategic advantage.

The participants in Syria are reminiscent of status quo in Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan transformed into the paradigm of lawlessness and radical militancy reverting to primitive medieval feudalism and national sovereignty forced into vassal statehood for arbitrary control and fragmented dominance.

The politics with unbridled interventionist foreign policy to unlawfully invade and occupy territories to create mayhem at the civilian population expense once again rendering them refugees in their homeland typically expedite own expiration as witnessed and experienced since time immemorial.

History until now is testament to the fact.

Syrian development is no exception.

Unfortunately, for the meddlesome and power starved territorial predators – the impulsive characteristics dawn on them leading to inevitable plunge into darkness.

No doubt the military excursions in Lebanon and political decapitation in Syria are diversionary tactics to distract attention from Gaza war failure and United States 2024 Presidential election shellacking for those unable to acknowledge reality with grace and humility.

Amazingly, political power starvation fail to recognize that at the end of the day – no land seizures, castles and power mania bear relevance for the dead with the mere requirement being 8 – 10 feet burial space on earth concluding the chapter of this life journey.

Yet, for those touting themselves wise and invincible –

Old habits die hard and,

For many it is from cradle to graveyard!
