War, War, War See other War, War, War Articles Title: Syrian UN Envoy Straight Talk Syrian UN Envoy Straight Talk by Stephen Lendman Explaining conflict in Syria is simple. The pattern repeats time and again. It’s hard understanding why everyone doesn’t know by now. There’s no ambiguity about it. I’ve explained many times. Washington tolerates no sovereign independent nations, ones it doesn’t control. Wars, color revolutions and coups (a color revolution variant) are strategies used to transform them into US vassal states. Post-9/11, America invaded Afghanistan and Iraq with large numbers of US troops, its so-called coalition allies pressed to deploy their own - daring not refuse or risk regime change targeting them. US strategy changed with Libya, followed weeks later in Syria, using US-recruited, armed, funded, trained and directed imperial foot soldiers, ISIS and other terrorist groups, US special forces and CIA operatives supporting them, backed by US-led NATO terror-bombing. All US wars have the same goal, tactics alone changing, orchestrated and implemented based on what’s decided against different targeted countries. Civilians suffer most in all wars. Casualty counts don’t matter, only imperial objectives. Unlike his duplicitous US counterpart, neocon Samantha Power, a despicable character, chosen for her wickedness, performing as expected, Syria’s Bashar al-Jaafari is a distinguished figure on the world stage, representing his country honorably, holding rule of law principles sacrosanct. Interviewed by RT International, he explained Washington’s plan since initiating war on his country was and remains regime change, flagrantly violating UN Charter principles and other international law. America’s imperial agenda, supported by its Western and regional allies, is the conflict’s root cause, “ravaging the country,” Jaafari explained, using terrorist foot soldiers, recruited from scores of countries. Washington and its coalition partners “never targeted al-Nusra” or other terrorist groups, supporting them instead while pretending otherwise. Al-Nusra uses civilians “as human shields…prevent(ing) them from getting out of (Eastern) Aleppo through the four humanitarian corridors opened by the Russians and Syrian army,” Jaafari explained. Its fighters are occupying hospitals and other civilian sites, using them for protection. Syria and Russia genuinely want diplomatic conflict resolution. America and its rogue allies block it. “Enough is enough,” Jaafari stressed. “We need a genuine so-called international coalition to combat the terrorists with the Syrian government, not on (its) behalf…not to replace (it), not to ignore (it).” Washington still hasn’t apologized for willfully massacring 83 Syrian soldiers, injuring scores more. Nor did it explain terrorists it supports destroyed 18 UN trucks with humanitarian aid heading for desperate Syrian civilians in need. “(W)e are defending our country” legally, al-Jafaari stressed. Invaded by foreign-supported terrorists, its government is obligated to protect them by all means possible. Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago. He can be reached at lendmanstephen@sbcglobal.net.
