General Wesley Clark tells the conversation he held in 1991 with Paul Wolfowitz, deputy secretary of defense for military policy. Clarke said: “You must be quite happy with the Army’s behavior at Operation Desert Storm” (in 1991 the attack on Iraq in the United States). United States ). The Wolfowitz response was warm. “Well, but no, the truth is that we had to get rid of Saddam Hussein and we have not. However, we have learned one thing, we can use our army in the Middle East and the Soviets are not going to stop us. Before the emergence of the next superpower, we have between five and ten years to clean up the regimes that are customers of the Soviets: Syria, Iran and Iraq.”
In 2001, they told General Clark that they were going to take seven countries in five years. Afghanistan, Iraq, SOMALIA, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. Wolfowitz was already with Secretary of Defense, Dick Cheney. But the plans crumbled. The 2003 war on Iraq, breaking international law, broke the consensus among Western countries and sparked great protests around the world against the war.
The United States had to reorganize its strategy. New tactic A Clean Break by Benjamin Netanyahu conducted in 1996 by a research team led by Richard Perl (former Deputy Defense Secretary): A New Strategy for Securing the Realm is listed in: A strategy was proposed to destabilise the regimes in the Middle East, for example, it was explicitly stated that Israel was going to attack Syria through the proxys.
The strategy of the delegated war was launched for the first time in Libya and then in Syria. Today we have plenty of evidence that Islamist extremists were essentially protected and armed by the United States, Turkey and Israel. Isis has been directly assisted by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and with the occasional collaboration of the United States, Israel and Turkey.
The strategy of the delegated war was launched for the first time in Libya and then in Syria. Today we have plenty of evidence that Islamist extremists were essentially protected and armed by the United States, Turkey and Israel. For its part, Isis has been directly assisted by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and with the occasional collaboration of the United States, Israel and Turkey. On the other hand, countries such as France, the United States, Israel, Turkey or Australia have bombarded Syria in breach of international law. Damascus seemed to have killed him, but there appeared Iran and, above all, Russia, which submitted themselves to international law and the International Convention. The Russian intervention changed the course of the war in favour of Damascus. This has inevitably forced the enemies of the Syrian Government to put their feet on the ground. At the moment there are three armies breaking the sovereignty of Syria: USA, Turkey and Israel. The three countries have military bases in the country and carry out war operations, making it clear from the very beginning where the origin of the war in Syria is: imperialist intervention.
Turkey is attacking the Afrin Kurds with its army and the Islamist extremists, who are continuing the war on Damascus. Israel attacks Syria almost daily, the United States has recently killed more than a hundred Syrian soldiers and, in the meantime, its military base continues to be deployed in the country with the help and support of the Kurds (they have signed an agreement for ten years). That is why the alliance between the Kurds and the Americans controls about one third of the territory of Syria. There are many regions and peoples in this area that are not Kurds, but Washington put them in place, because they have water, gas and oil, so that the key raw materials are not economically viable for Syria. In the end, what the United States did in Iraq in 2003 is doing differently in Syria, but at the moment with a very similar result: it has destroyed a country, it has taken its raw materials under control and it has put at least half a dozen military bases. As if it were not enough, it has done so with the active complicity or silence of many of the former opponents of war.
