Is part of this corrupt coalition , let us all throw our support for the coalition!!!
You have to be extremely naïve to believe that the USA, a country I have always supported and always considered as the leading beacon of the western world, is in Syria because of her immense care for the Syrian people. The USA along with the rest of the coalition, Turkey included, are backing the wrong horse, god knows ( ask GR ) why the USA got involved in the first place. Paphitis
is utterly wrong with his assessment of the Syrian conflict.
Only the internationally recognized government of Assad can restore peace and end the suffering of millions of Syrians.
West, you have FUCKED UP"
Btw, it is you who doesn't care for the Syrian people. Or at least the Sunni portion of the Syrian population which has been compromised for decades leading to this war.
The Coalition is quite the opposite. Absolutely there are agendas and the USA and its partners have interests but you need to look at what they are trying to achieve. This war has gone far beyond any price just to achieve some regime change objective.
Now regime change is the only option. It literally is, otherwise we are looking at genocide and ethnic cleaning along sectarian SHIA/SUNNI grounds with over 7 million Syrians now refugees. Most of whom are fleeing from Assad and not DAESH. Most want to go to Western countries or Assad's enemies who want Assad gone. Why?
What we are trying to achieve is a CEASEFIRE. Then get aid through to besieged areas. We have been unsuccessful and now we are not even talking to Pootin because every agreement has been violated and his word or signature isn't worth the paper it's written on as he continues to bomb hospitals and allow his criminal lapdog use Chemical Warfare and Barrel Bombs.
So now, all we can do is what we are able to covertly achieve and even supply militias with arms in order to defend themselves.
If it was up to me, I would be supplying TOW and Stinger missiles. If it was up to me, there would be an intervention force. If there is a direct conflict, then so be it but the world can't just ignore these crimes and sleep easy at night.
We are always willing to recommence peace talks and a transition which just so happens to be the only viable and workable option for Syria.
Assad is destroyed. He can't rule anymore over a people who he has bombed without mercy. It's over!
And the Coalition can not be seen by the tax payer to be in cohorts and making deals with criminals.
We are the only side who has shown any evidence to care for the Syrian people at large and that is evidenced by our actions in Syria and on the world stage at the UN and through the aid we have on countless times attempted to provide and by just simply being present to record and highlight all the crimes.
History will be much kinder towards us. We can at least hold our heads up despite still not going far enough. We have conducted ourselves as I would morally expect from my country which has NOTHING to be ashamed of.
We have some aces up our sleeve as well. Our ground forces control 30% of Syria. We will never allow these areas to fall under Assad. The Kurds are now our clients, and we could form another State if we wanted to. In other words, we can carve Syria up next week. All we need to do is get the Kurds to make a unilateral Declaration of Independence and immediately 5 significant countries will recognize it overnight. This is what is going to happen if things continue as they are.
In other words, Assad and Pootin have lost. There ain't much of Syria left to fight for now. And our client will be better placed.
