Western-Supported Al Qaeda Invasion Topples Elected Syrian Government
In an ultimate expression of international criminality, Washington and its allies, using al Qaeda and ISIS as proxies, have toppled the elected government in Syria, forcing President al-Assad into exile.
This crime represents the antithesis of “freedom and democracy” and instead displays to the world, yet again, that Empire spreads and embraces terror and destruction, death and misery, in all of its “regime change” operations, especially now with the rebranded “leader” of the opposition being none other than Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, leader of HTS, a United Nations-designated terrorist organization.(1)
With Turkey’s Erdogan proclaiming that he wanted to take Damascus(2) sources indicate that about 80% of the invading terrorists were non-Syrian.
With Qatari funding, the U.S., Israel, Turkey, France and Ukraine led operations. The SAA, hollowed out by 13 years of war and economic devastation, with its allies diverted, offered relatively little resistance, likely a result, too, of a secret deal to save lives.
The West and its agencies will falsely characterize this tragedy in the days and weeks and months to come, but it is what it has always been: an undeclared US/NATO war of aggression against a sovereign state using al Qaeda terrorists as proxies. (3)
