Bleeding Syria is Now the Agenda: Elections are a Battle Won, but the War Goes On | Global Research
It is hard for even the West to deny that the
recent election was a huge success for the government in Damascus,
stamping out the illusion of a divided Syria. The country is mired in
protracted conflict not because of a “popular uprising,” but
because of a premeditated proxy war organized by the US, Israel, and
Saudi Arabia (and involving other NATO-GCC members) as early as 2007 –
this confirmed in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh’s 2007
New Yorker report titled, “The Redirection.”
The proxy war is
admittedly lost - but it would be a mistake to say the West has
completely lost. Their goal was indeed, ideally, to overthrow the
government of Syria. By failing to do so and in the process exposing
their insidious methods, the West has lost immense credibility and
momentum they will never recover. However, their secondary objective was
destroying Syria and leaving it in a weakened, diminished state –
denying Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and most importantly, Russia a
strong regional ally. This, for now, the West has absolutely succeeded
in accomplishing. Reconstruction & socioeconomic recovery will be as
important if not more so for Syrians in the coming months and years,
than defeating NATO’s proxy forces on the battlefield. Bringing Syria
back to or exceeding its economic and defensive posture before the war
will be when Syrians can truly declare victory over the West.
