Shouldn’t the U.S. Compensate Syria for Invading?
On Friday the 30th of October, U.S. President Barack Obama announced that he will send 50 U.S. Special Forces soldiers into Syrian territory,
though Syria has presented no threat to U.S. national security and has
not invaded any country. In fact, Syria is fighting against Islamic
jihadists who present a threat also to the United States and Europe.
The U.S. is invading Syria (first with bombers, and now even with its
first troops) to overthrow Syria’s elected President, whom even
Western-allied polling shows still to be supported by a majority of
Syrians. When America’s ally the Qatari regime, which funds al-Nusra
(al-Qaeda in Syria), hired a polling firm in 2012 to survey Syrians, the
finding was that 55% of Syrians wanted Assad to remain as President. Then, as I reported on 18 September 2015, “Polls Show Syrians Overwhelmingly Blame U.S. for ISIS,” and those recent polls were from a British firm that has ties to Gallup.
Russia, in contrast to America, hasn’t invaded Syria at all, but was
instead urged to assist the elected government in its defensive war
against the invading islamic jihadists and American bombers; and Russia
is now providing the requested assistance.
