Why is the US against Assad?

Post Reply New Topic

This is something I've never been able to find a straight answer to, so I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on the issue.

Where did this contention between the U.S. and Assad come from?

The Arabs and Israelis both hate him, it is strategically an important pivot point that world powers want to control.

I do not like or trust the military brass that Trump has surrounded himself with, I think the deep state has more or less forced him to toe the line on some things.

Perhaps the only thing that could save Syria would be a total WWII style occupation divided by the RELEVANT powers, we need deIslamification like we needed deNazification, it would have a to a grand undertaking for any chance of success. Punitive missile strikes I guess could be a way to save face but I don't think the MIC will be satisfied with token gestures. Assad can't leave, what is the alternative? The rebels are literally ISIS and al-Qaeda.

A third alternative can always be created, Syrians are not only either Assad or ISIS.

Bachar and his father imprisoned and killed Lebanese Christians more than any radical movement in the area; let's not have a very short memory on that.

Anyway, this strike is just a political maneuver and power play and nothing else.

He and/or his father have:

1. Destabilized Lebanon for nearly 30 years
2. Orchestrated the Hama massacre, which killed ~30,000 people, 10x that of 9/11, and 7-8x that of our total troop losses in Iraq and Afghanistan.
3. Mass discrimination against non-Alawites
4. Allowed Syria to be the main conduit for Iranian money and arms to Hamas, Hezbollah, et al.
5. Use of chemical weapons against civilians, possibly the ones previously believed to have been in Iraq prior to the 2003 invasion of that country.
6. Abysmal human rights violations

Hmm...Let's see...because Assad is a murderous, raving madman who gets off on killing his own people.

You can blame the Israelis but the truth is that the Gulf Arabs are probably bigger drivers of this violence and for getting us involved in these wars because if we don't then they unleash their mujaheddin terrorists.

there's this too



It was a mistake to overthrow Saddam, it was a mistake to overthrow Gaddafi, it would be a mistake to overthrow Assad.

The only way you can actually win this I think is a grand bargain that results in something akin to a post-WWII type occupation with countries creating zones of influence for many many years. Trying to fight Russia and Iran would be a losing battle and one that will once again put us on the side of the jihadists we've spent the last 15+ years fighting.

It's all been written out and is playing out. Israel has been bombing Syria from the air. The whole trouble in Syria started around the Israeli border. The Arab states would be destroyed tomorrow is the US and Israel wanted to do so. The gulf states are used to help divide people in countries the US and Israel want to destroy. Israel want the Palestinians to be stranded.

I didn't realize I would need to mention this, but substantiated facts only please.

gas and oil and pipelines
(militairy showroom and sandbox for that industry)
(destruction of history is also a wellknown side-effect)

the waterwar plays into that too (with a 'slight' depopulationprogram on the side)
also aligned the planned 'regime-changes' as in the other arabspring-countries
but its not the people of the us but the globalbankers/militairindustrialcomplex
funny but not so funny, countries fighting for multinationals' interests,
taxpayers money and lifes to serve the taxavoiders' best interests

or Saoudi Arabia is a BIG ally and moneydonator/lender of US and SA wants the chiite branch of islam destroyed, for the wahhabaist/salafist version.

in short - geopolitics - money - control
and the war on the minds, by obscurantist fundamentalists in dresses; of all sorts

Pro-trump americans seem to be very ill-informed on the key role Assad played in the emergence and building of Isis.

Al Assad has a long history of capturing islamists then releasing them for no reason only to become stronger and better armed.

Read the history of Fatah el Islam and its founder Shaker el Abssi for instance.

From a wikileaks cable:
“In principle, we don’t attack or kill them immediately,” Gen. Ali Mamluk, now Assad’s top intelligence advisor, said of al Qaeda operatives. “Instead, we embed ourselves in them, and only at the opportune moment do we move.”

Al Assad's aim was to make his propaganda matches reality: to convince the world that it's either him or the terrorists.
And he's suceeding at that.
