At the Institute for Political Economy, Paul Craig Roberts suggests that with partitioning between Israel, Turkey, and the United States, and the implicit agreement of Russia, Syria no longer exists as it was before. He writes:
The explanations we are given make no sense, neither Washington’s, Putin’s, nor Iran’s. How did terrorists whose leaders had $10 million bounties on their heads become “democratic jihadists” who comprise Syria’s “interim government” with Washington’s and Putin’s support?
Interim for who? The most likely answer to the question is for Greater Israel.
How does Syria exist when it is partitioned into three parts between Israel, Washington, and Turkey? The Israeli government has already said that it is in Syria to stay as Syria is part of Greater Israel. Turkey is holding on to the north in order to eliminate the Kurds, allegedly under America’s protection. Washington has the oil territory and the money.
The first thing Israel did was to destroy every Syrian arms depot and arms manufacturing facility to make certain that the “democratic jihadists” had no weapons with which to oppose the incorporation of Syria into Greater Israel.
The Americans have the oil, so how is Humpty Dumpty going to be put back together again?
It is not going to happen. Syria, like Palestine, no longer exists.
Why does Putin describe the destruction of Syria as a victory for Russia?
Why did the battle-hardened and previously victorious Syrian army refuse to fight the CIA’s insurgents it had previously defeated? Who payed off the Syrian generals?
Why did Putin allow the remnants of those defeated elements of “democratic jihadists” to recoup in the untouched American occupied part of Syria?
Why did Putin and Iran allow the destruction of Syria, a destruction that removed Iran’s buffer and the resupply routs to Hezbollah in Lebanon, a check on Israel’s aggression, and left in question Russia’s only naval base on the Mediterranean and air bases for projection of Russian power?
More questions could be asked, but these are sufficient to demonstrate the absence of credible explanation.
What is apparent is that the correlation of forces which were going against Washington and Israel have suddenly reversed. Russia has turned her back on an ally. Iran is isolated. Hezbollah is isolated. The credibility of the Russian/Iranian Pact which is supposed to be signed the day before or the day of Trump’s inauguration is in question.
The loss of Syria is perceived in Washington as a Russian and Iranian defeat.
