The truth of US involvement in Syria is too complicated than Donald Trump wants us to think

Somewhere near the Atlantic, I've always suspected that there is a window curtain through which Americans see the Middle East through a dark glass, perhaps corroding their appearance.

Even when they get to that region to talk to their “moderate friends”, Sunni criminals, dictators and torturers who are now recruiting an angry American president in their alliance against the Shiites, Western visitors do not do more than propaganda and agree with the Sun plans to eliminate Iran.

It's not just Washington that cheats himself. Let's take General James Mattis, who is starting to deserve the nickname “The Crazy Coven” in the contemporary history cup, just as much as his indecent remarks giving him this epithet during the US's illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003. Leaving his meeting with the Saudi, whose blindist belief actually inspires the terrible cult of Isis '%, the US Secretary of Defense told reporters that “wherever you see, if there's a riot in the region, you find Iran”.

Surprisingly, no American rapporteur took on this meaningless language of Mattis ʹ that is excessive because we all thought Isis was the problem.

Isn't Mattis aware that his men are helping the Iraqi army and pro-airian militants destroy Isis '%s' in Mosul? Isn't he aware that Isis no Iran has threatened to destroy the entire Western world? Doesn't he realize Iran is the exact enemy of Isis?

No? All right, here's a <x0 Dog in a rage”. Iran is Shiite Muslim; Isis are Muslims, Saudi Arabia is Sunni Muslims. Does that comment?

But I think the case is a little complicated for Trump's combat chief. So let's take a long, powerful, and courageous look in reality, leaving the entire garden with the wild beasts of Trump dealt with.

Let's start with Syria, where (according to Saudi Arabia, the United States, Israel and most of the western cyber-experts) Iran is in the process of taking control.

A look into reality: most Syrians I meet in the territory controlled by Assad (Damask, Homs, Hamas and Allepo) and many Syrian soldiers were grateful to Russia's intervention not only because it overturned the great losses of the government forces but because they opposed Iran's influence in their country.

Officially, the ruthless Syrian army counts Russia, Iran and Hezbollah as its allies, that is why their flags wave together outside the military headquarters in several Syrian cities.

But Syrian soldiers were not impressed by several thousand Iranian forces, not 30,000, as TV frauds in New York declare they were able to help them. The reports became even more tense when Iran declared its forces have participated in the invasion of Eastern Alepos last winter. It was a lie. The Iranians invented this fact for sure as Trump who invented the facts in the Middle East. The Syrians felt very bad about it.

No Iranian forces took part in the December battle in Alepo é, no matter how much Teranji boasted that almost immediately led to charges of violence exercised by Syrian allies. Statements of violence were then directed to Iraqi Shiqia soldiers who also, according to civilians in Alepo (both east and west), were not present in battle.

In fact, Syrian troops, whose families and homes were in the East Alepon, deliberately engaged in offensive forces because they knew about the roads and buildings. They would hardly have allowed Iranian, Iraqi, or other soldiers to rape or mistreat their families.

There have certainly been executions during the fighting (war crimes), but <x0 violence” was a massive exaggeration despite Iran's lie that helped produce such stories.

Here's the whole story, launched by Washington, that the Syrians, their Russian and Iranian allies fight only the modern America “”, and that it's largely myth that fight opposing forces and that they don't go into battle against al-Qaeda, Jabhat al Nusrah or Issiı. This is nonsense.

I was on the line of the front when the Syrians were fighting Nusrahı and Al-Qaedan south of the Turkish border and north of Lattakia.

In a later fight with the same positions, all the Syrians I interviewed (almost all Sunnian Muslims, although we believe they are rain like their president Alawites) were killed in a bomb attack by Nusrahão (only one saved).

South of Qamishhleuk, Palmyra, and finally, east of Aleppoé, I have seen Syrian troops in direct combat with Isis '%i. When they recovered Deir Haferı, about 30km east of Aleppoé, in April, I entered the city with the first Syrian soldiers. The soldiers of Isis '%s were being protected from fire and air strikes, leaving notorious black flags, cross - mail banners, arms factories, and Islamic court halls yet intact.

But even further, Washington stands behind it that the Syrians do not fight Isis '%s'.

In fact, when Americans observed Iraqi militants and pro-Assad Shiite Iranians leaving for the border city of Al-Tanf in the south-west, where the Jordanian, Iraqi and Syriac borders practically shared each other, they bombed pro-government forces in the north.

Because cutting off Iran's austrada with Syria through Iraq was more important than the war against Isis '%s'. That's why Mattis is sending more weapons to Kurds who are supposed to be fighting Isis '%s around Raqqaıs, in the name of America.

Then Lebanon, which according to American experts is a territory controlled by Iran because it's where Hezbollah comes from and because (although they say) Lebanese rains are the largest community in Lebanon, although not most people.

This leads us to the unuttered story, of course, that it was not reported even in the west that Saudi Arabia refused to issue an invitation to the Lebanese president (a Christian) to attend the Muslim-Trump summit in Riyadh. Of all Middle Eastern states, Lebanon was the only country whose president was not invited. Because he was a Christian? Or because you support Hezbollah and the Syrian government?

Unnecessary to say, Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri a Sunni Muslim and, for chance, Saudi citizens were also asked to represent Lebanon in Saudi Arabia.

Now Hezbollah is clearly part of Lebanon's rule and the northern Bekka Valley. They do not represent Lebanon, although their military presence is tolerated more, possibly because the Shiite population is so large that if it wished it could require more seats in parliament. In what case, who would like a Islamic Republic in Lebanon?

In theory, the United Nations controls the southern part of Lebanon in front of the Israeli border, but that in itself is a suspicious statement. Hezbollah, armed and paid by Iran, recently received reporters for a walk around the United Nations area. Only the northern part of the Israeli border is the area known to the United Nations as the <x0-copetised Iranian” in which UN soldiers do not patrol. Ask the United Nations about this.

Iran is therefore present through Lebanese authorities in Lebanon. In addition, although Hezbollah has chosen ministers in the Lebanese government, they do not represent a majority among their Christian colleagues, Sunnis and loggers.

Strangely enough yet, Lebanon is the key to the crazy arguments of Mattis and his colleagues, including former customers who served with him in Iraq when Americans consistently declared (without evidence) that Iran was arming the opposition to invade the United States. These even arrested Iranian diplomats in Iraq as terror suspects before they were released in silence.

Timothy Garaghty, U.S. Navy colonel who was in command of the military base in Beirut when she was blown up by a suicide bomber in 1983, where 241 American servants lost their lives today he holds the speeches for Iranian villains.

In 1983, Americans sought a Lebanese peace treaty with their Israeli allies, and according to Iran it would end all Israel's rainy resistance in Lebanon. There is no doubt Iran was involved in the bombing. But that was more than three decades ago.

Yes, in 1983, Americans supported the infamous “Hitlerin Tigrid” Saddam Hussein, in his war against Iran, was preparing for a Soviet invasion of Western Europe that year. However, Trump's soldiers won the battle against what Israel calls the <x2octopodial Iranian”. Generals traditionally want to fight old enemies rather than young people.

Obama dismissed Mattis because he was obsessed with Iran. But now Trump supports a Sunnit fight against the Shiites, and Mattis has returned to work to start over with his old battles.

An angry president with a mad Dog. Be prepared, ladies and gentlemen./Periscopi/
