Right here it’s, brief and candy — the Arab League informed Joe Biden and his overseas coverage clown present to “go pound sand” as they reversed course and ended Syria’s suspension from the Arab League.
Let’s return to the long run. Right here was the information from nearly 12 years in the past:
Syria has been suspended from the Arab League over its failure to finish the bloodshed brought on by brutal authorities crackdowns on pro-democracy protests in a transfer that can enhance the worldwide strain on President Bashar al-Assad.
At an emergency session of its 22 member states in Cairo to debate the disaster, the league determined to exclude Syria till it implements the phrases of an earlier agreed peace deal to cease the violence.
The league additionally agreed to impose financial and political sanctions on Syria over its failure to cease the violence and appealed to its member states to withdraw their ambassadors from Damascus, the Qatari prime minister, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabr bin Muhammad Al Thani, stated.
Twelve years in the past the Western narrative, which was embraced by the opposite members of the Arab League, portrayed Bashir Assad as a brutal dictator eager on crushing individuals wanting to embrace democracy and human rights. It was pure bullshit. A complete lie on the a part of the west. The s-called “peaceable” protestors who had been being attacked by the Syrian Authorities had been funded by the CIA and the British intelligence. For the US and the U.Ok. this try to oust Assad was a rehearsal of kinds for what transpired on the Maidan in Ukraine three years later. Assault Assad with radical Islamists, some funded by Gulf Arabs, was a careless try at a shade revolution and Syria, serendipitously, had sufficient army power to stave off defeat till the Russians got here to the rescue in September 2015.
Why did Russia intervene to save lots of Syria? It seems that Putin and his staff lastly realized, within the wake of the Western-backed coup in Ukraine in February 2014 and the next Ukrainian assault on the Russian talking inhabitants within the Donbass , that the imperial ambitions of the US and its European allies had been unquenchable and needed to be defeated. Coming to assistance from the Syrian Authorities in its battles towards Western-backed Islamic extremists marked a important counterattack on Western ambitions.
At the moment the Arab League reversed Syria’s suspension and successfully informed Joe Biden and the US to sod off (a well mannered substitute for the F-bomb).
The Arab League has re-admitted Syria after an 11-year absence, the group stated Sunday, following a unprecedented assembly on the Arab League’s headquarters in Cairo, Egypt. . . .
The Arab League additionally burdened the necessity to take “sensible and efficient steps” to resolve the Syrian disaster, the assertion added.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad may take part within the upcoming Arab League summit in Saudi Arabia if he’s invited and if he needs to attend, Arab League Secretary Normal Ahmed Aboul Gheit informed journalists Sunday.
“Syria, from tonight, is a full member of the Arab league, and beginning tomorrow they’ve the suitable to take part in any assembly. When the host nation, on this case Saudi Arabia, sends the invitation, (Assad) can attend if he needs to,” Gheit stated.
Officers and analysts have stated that Syria’s re-admission into the Arab League, whereas symbolic, comes with the chance it may allow Assad’s rehabilitation internationally, and probably permit the elimination of crippling sanctions towards his regime.
U.S. officers usually are not glad. They’re whining like a transgender college woman:
US State Division Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel made it clear that that Washington is just not on board with such plans. The US “is not going to normalize relations with the Assad regime and we don’t help others normalizing with Damascus both,” he stated at a State Division briefing in Washington, DC.
“We’ve made this abundantly clear to our companions,” Patel stated. “The US believes {that a} political resolution that’s outlined in UN Safety Council Decision 2254 is the one viable resolution to this battle in Syria.”
Decision 2254 endorses a roadmap for a peace course of in Syria via UN-facilitated talks between the Syrian authorities and opposition members.
Chalk this up as yet another substantive and symbolic victory for Russia and China. Within the wake of the historic summit in March, former Center East allies, Saudi Arabia particularly, have been emboldened to interrupt with Washington on a number of financial and overseas coverage points and chart their very own course. Ending Syria’s suspension with none quid professional quo is the equal of kicking the US within the crotch. Uncle Sam is doubled over and grimacing in nice ache.
It’s now clear {that a} key ingredient of U.S. overseas coverage throughout the previous 13 years was to foment civil warfare in international locations the place U.S. leaders needed a management change. It’s a murderous, blood drenched document and now, because of Russia and China and Saudi Arabia, it’s coming to a crashing finish. The Arab League delivered a metaphorically punishing kick to the groin of Uncle Sam right this moment. Ouch!!
The Arab League motion derails the U.S. effort to isolate and punish Iran as a result of Syria was a proxy for that overseas coverage goal. This resolution leaves the CIA and MI-6 covert motion marketing campaign in Syria is full shambles. Good riddance.
