Turn the Tables: Stopping Western Aggression in Syria | New Eastern Outlook
After the West’s flooding of the region with billions of dollars worth
of weapons, equipment, vehicles, training, and cash for the purpose of
bolstering “moderate rebels,” what has emerged is precisely the
“extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam” and are
“sympathetic to Al Qaeda” Hersh warned about in 2007. The West has thus
far otherwise failed to explain who else besides extremists could have
received the aid, or who is funding extremists above and beyond the
collective support provided by the US, Europe, and the West’s Middle
Eastern partners, that have allowed these extremists to dominate the
battlefield so decisively.
