Brookings Wants to Strengthen the Syrian Rebels by Bombing Hezbollah
Western
think tanks have been working relentlessly to try and counter Russia’s
geopolitical masterstroke in Syria, which has clearly taken most
strategists in the West by complete surprise. Reading through the
analysis by these think tanks on Russia’s role in Syria, one is starkly
reminded of how immoral Western foreign policy actually is, when you
remember that these organisations are freaking out because Russia is
bombing terrorists! Obviously, the reason why they are so distraught is
because Russia is bombing the West’s terrorists, which they have been
using as proxy armies to try and force regime change in Damascus (a
strategy that has completely failed).
Potential countermeasures are the
subject of a recent article for the Brookings Institution written by
Pavel K. Baev, a nonresident senior fellow in the Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings, titled: Russia’s Syrian entanglement: Can the West sit back and watch? Baev suggests that “the decision to withdraw
the batteries of Patriot surface-to-air missiles [from Turkey] must be
cancelled”,before arguing that the US and its allies could bomb
“Hezbollah bands around Damascus”:

“Finally, the United States and its allies could deliver a series of airstrikes on the Hezbollah bands around Damascus. That would be less confrontational
vis-à-vis Russia than hitting Assad’s forces. Hezbollah has already
suffered losses in the Syrian war and is not particularly motivated to
stand with Assad to the bitter end, away from [its] own home-ground in
Lebanon. (Israel would appreciate such punishment, too.)”
