Putin’s
intervention last year in Syria was a geopolitical masterstroke –
battling US-supported ISIS and other terrorist groups, halting their
advance, systematically smashing them, confronting America’s regional
imperial agenda, so far effectively foiling it.
Ousting
Assad and installing a US-controlled puppet regime in Damascus is key
to Washington’s aim for regional dominance, a vital step toward
isolating Iran before attempting to overthrow its government
belligerently, the same strategy used against Libya, Syria and elsewhere
– raping and destroying countries to rule them, loot their resources
and exploit their people.
It’s
too early to declare victory. So far things look good. Hopefully Putin
foiled Obama’s dirty scheme. It began five years ago on February 17,
2011 against Libya, continued weeks later on the Ides of March (the
15th) against Syria.
America
systematically raped and destroyed both countries – the same way it
ravaged Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, and other nations
– an unparalleled record of global criminality and pillaging.
At
a US-ASEAN press conference in California, Obama lashed out at Putin
showing frustration and desperation – ignoring his aggression on Syria
using ISIS and other terrorists as US foot soldiers, bashing Putin’s
responsible intervention: :
“(t)he fact that (he) had to send his own troops (support personnel alone are there, no ground combat forces) and his own aircraft and invest this massive military operation (it’s relatively modest compared to how much greater it could be and may become ahead) was not a testament to great strength. It was a testament to the weakness of Assad’s position.”
“(I)f somebody is strong…you don’t have to send in your army to prop up your ally.”“(W)hat I said (earlier) was that Russia would involve itself in a quagmire. Absolutely it will. If…anybody…thinks that somehow the fighting ends because Russia and (Syrian forces) made some initial advances, (much) of the country (remains) control(ed)” by US-supported terrorists.
Obama
ignored reality, calling them “folks other than Assad” – cutthroat
killer “folks” armed and trained by CIA operatives in the fine art of
committing atrocities, including use of chemical and other banned
weapons.
Obama and Hillary Clinton as secretary of state orchestrated the raping of Libya and Syria, the highest of high crimes.
Obama
claiming he wants to “stop the suffering (of the Syrian people),
stabilize the region,” stop the human flood of refugees, “end the
violence, (and) stop (the killing of) innocent civilians,” belies his
ruthless agenda – fully responsible for all of the above.
Putin
has no intention of occupying Syria or getting bogged down in endless
conflict. Obama claiming otherwise is one of his many Big Lies.
He
wants Putin to abandon Assad, stop what he called “indiscriminate
bombing,” let Washington and its rogue allies freely use ISIS and other
proxy terrorist groups to eliminate Syrian sovereignty, transforming the
nation into another US vassal state – without Russian interference.
Obama
supports the terrorist scourge he claims to oppose. Putin is committed
to degrading and reducing it to a shadow of its peak strength, letting
Syrian forces smash its remaining elements.
As
long as Washington remains committed to replacing Assad with a puppet
regime it controls, and keeps supporting ISIS and other terrorist
groups, endless conflict, vast destruction and human suffering will
continue.
America
is fully responsible for genocidal high crimes against Syria and other
independent states targeted for regime change. Russia is a deterrent to
US imperialism, an antidote to America’s ruthless rampaging.
