The Council of Foreign Relations are the preeminent authorities on Foreign Relations. Their magazine was the place where all scholars have read since I was in graduate school. We can only link one article a month, but I have linked an article and conversation with Bashar al-Assad the Syrian President. This interview has critical points which he backs up what more experts are saying.......there are very specific interest groups behind the curtain manipulating Middle East affairs:
Opposition means national; it means working for the interests of the Syrian people. It cannot be an opposition if it’s a puppet of Qatar or Saudi Arabia or any Western country, including the United States, paid from the outside. It should be Syrian. We have a national opposition. I’m not excluding it; I’m not saying every opposition is not legitimate. But you have to separate the national and the puppets. Not every dialogue is fruitful.
1. A clear indication that people behind the curtain are manipulating the current crisis.
At the end, can you negotiate with al Qaeda, and others? They are not ready to negotiate; they have their own plan. The reconciliation that we started and Mr. de Mistura is going to continue is the practical solution on the ground. This is the first point. Second, you have to implement the Security Council resolution, no. 2170, on al-Nusra and ISIS, which was issued a few months ago, and this resolution is very clear about preventing anyone from supporting these factions militarily, financially, or logistically. Yet this is what Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar are still doing. If it’s not implemented, we cannot talk about a real solution, because there will be obstacles as long as they spend money. So this is how we can start. Third, the Western countries should remove the umbrella still referred to by some as “supporting the moderate opposition.” They know we have mainly al Qaeda, ISIS, and al-Nusra.
2. Do you see his clear indication that there are countries behind the curtain who are supporting the very terrorist we are fighting and they call themselves are allies.....but most importantly.....the illusion of a moderate opposition in Syria has been supplemented and exchanged by Al Queda, ISIS, al Nusra.
Yet we want to have Americans shed blood once again to prop up those behind the curtain. Please read this article......It will give you insight on the complexities which so many have over simplified and continue to put America at risk........There are people responsible for the criminal enterprises known as Al Queda and ISIS.
Also pay attention who the new player is in Syria:
So everything that Iran is doing ... ?
Of course, in full cooperation with the Syrian government, and that’s always the case.
