The Destruction of Syria Has Altered the Correlation of Forces
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Washington, Israel, and Turkey conspired in the destruction and partition of Syria, and now they face conflict among themselves. It is enough to put you on the side of the terrorists.
An Israeli government committee has advised that Israel must prepare
for war with Turkey, suspected of intentions of restoring the Ottoman
Empire which would encroach on Israel’s plans for Greater Israel. Such a war would present Washington with a dilemma. Turkey is a NATO member to whose aid Washington must go. But
how can Washington go to war against Israel when Israel owns the US
media, the financial sector, entertainment, ivy league and other
universities, and Congress. No wonder Trump wants to get rid of NATO as it takes decisions out of his hands..
Perhaps Syria’s destruction will turn out to Russia’s benefit after
all by allying Russia with Turkey in the conflict, which would mean a
defeat for Washington and Israel.
The prospect for Arabs is dire. Their mutual
antagonism–Sunni-Alawite-Shia–has left them powerless for centuries and
under the rule of others. The destruction of Libya, Iraq, and Syria and
the isolation of small Lebanon have left Saudi Arabia the only remaining
Arab country, and the latest Israeli pronouncement has included a large
portion of Saudi Arabia into Greater Israel.
