In order to understand the reality of East Ghouta, we reproduce this article by Eva Bartlett, a courageous Canadian journalists who has been in Syria on numerous occasions, unlike any of the Western media pundits that peddle State department or CIA delivered propaganda about the situation in Syria.
With drums of war beating louder in the Muslim East (aka Middle East), the conflict will be between the victims (Resistance Front—Islamic Iran, Hizbullah, Syria, Iraq) and the aggressors (US, Israel, Saudi Arabia et al).
The US and allies’ selective concern for civilians in Eastern Ghouta designed to protect their favorite terrorists in Syria. No such concern has been expressed for Syrian civilians elsewhere.
By shooting down an Israeli F-16 fighter plane, Syria and the Resistance Front have served notice that rules of the game and engagement have changed radically.
In a major development in the region, the Syrian air defence shot down one, and possibly two Israeli F-16 fighter jets that were involved in terrorist attacks against Syria.
With the defeat of its terrorist proxies in Syria, the US now wants to establish a 30,000 “border force” to perpetuate its illegal presence in the country.
The global power balance is changing rapidly. The unipolar world is dead; America can no longer dictate to the world. America can cause massive destruction but it has lost the ability to attract people.
With the takfiris on the run in Syria and Iraq, it is time for sincere Muslims to take stock and see where they went wrong in becoming tools, even if unwittingly, of imperialism and Zionism.
Early miscalculations of the Syrian government opened an opportunity for the imperialists and Zionists to exploit the people’s legitimate demands for reforms into a full-fledged assault on the state itself, leading to catastrophic consequences.
With the failure of imperialist-Zionist instigated mayhem in the Muslim East, their attention has now turned to use the Kurds for their nefarious agenda. Will the Kurds fall into this trap and cause more chaos and confusion?
While the Western corporate media continue to spew nonsensical fiction about events in Syria, independent Canadian journalist Eva Bartlett reports from the ground and exposes the lies.
Donald Trump has brought the prospects of war with Russia that much closer by his belligerent and reckless policy in attacking Syria. He is trying to protect the takfiri terrorists that are on the run.
June 1967 marked the 50th anniversary of the defeat of a number of Arabian armies at the hands of the Zionist invaders. Arabian nationalism proved no match for Zionist nationalism.
Syrian opposition groups oppose the creation of no-conflict zones in the country even though these would provide much needed food and medicines to the besieged people.
The success of the Islamic revolution in Iran exposed the secular nationalists both in Iran and the rest of the Muslim world.
The president’s irascibility can be leveraged for more war.
What is certain is that if a massacre can be spun into blaming the Syrian government, it will be repeated endlessly with screaming headlines and angry denunciations on television. If the killings expose Western-backed terrorists, then the story is either ignored or obfuscated to confuse readers and listeners.
The April 6 illegal US missile strikes on a Syrian air base have not only put a chill on US-Russian relations, they have increased the risk of a full-fledged war between the US and Russia—essentially a Third World War.
The UN-brokered talks in Geneva made little progress because the opposition groups have not fully reconciled to the ground realities following the defeat of the terrorists in Aleppo. Their foreign sponsors do not want peace in Syria.
The Astana peace talks achieved several things. Syria’s ceasefire still largely holds, the terrorists have been separated from other opposition groups and the next round of talks will be held in Geneva at the end of this month.
