Syria: Heart of a global struggle?


Published: 07 January, 2012, 21:08

Thousands attended the funerals of 26 people killed in Friday’s terrorist attack in Damascus. But while the world focuses on violence within the country, Syria is just a pawn in a big geopolitical game, political analyst Jamal Wakim told RT.

*According to the umbrella Syrian National Council – which includes the Muslim Brotherhood – Friday’s bombing "clearly bears the regime’s fingerprints," as cited by AFP.

The opposition similarly blamed the authorities for a December 23 bombing in the capital which left 44 dead.

However, the Assad government remains adamant that the attack was the work of al-Qaeda, and that it is not cracking down on peaceful protesters, but rather struggling against a violent insurrection.

Meanwhile, the Arab League is preparing to meet in Cairo on Sunday to discuss bringing in the United Nations to help end the 10 months of violence – which the latter says has left over 5,000 dead.

But while opposition activists say the bloodshed has intensified since the Arab League began its month-long monitoring mission on December 27, Dr. Jamal Wakim, political analyst and professor at the Lebanese International University, told RT the US is really behind the escalation of violence in Syria.

“I believe the one behind the bombing [in Damascus on Friday] is the same side that is behind the bombings in central Iraq. I believe the bombs were launched by groups related to the CIA in an attempt to destabilize both Syria and Iraq. At a time when the Americans are withdrawing from Iraq, they are trying to reset a new direction for their policies in the Near East in an attempt to impose a new regional order that keeps this region under their control.”


Wakim further says that regardless of who is actually behind the attack, President Assad will ultimately take the blame.

“According to Western media, of course he [Assad] is guilty. They want to oust Assad because he didn’t comply with their policies. He didn’t agree to break his ties to Iran, he didn’t agree to severe his ties to Russia or China.”

However, while Julie Leveque of the Center for Research on Globalization told RT it was too early to tell who was behind the bombing, she agreed that Western media have already chosen to point a finger at Damascus.

“I think right now it’s really too early to say who has committed those crimes – there’s no evidence. One thing that is for sure is that the media has clearly taken sides on, this and they’re clearly promoting the explanation of the opposition. It’s quite strange because in the past ten years, people who have been trying to link or suspect the US government for being behind the 9/11 attacks, these people have been systematically discredited as crazy conspiracy theorists. And now, when it’s the Syrian government that is being blamed for staging these attacks, we don’t hear that crazy conspiracy theory explanation anymore. “

In fact, while the world focuses on events within Syria, Wakim contends Damascus is merely a pawn in a far more sinister game.

“What they perceive for the region was a region under full American control, that Syria should break its ties because they need to obstruct any Russian, Iranian or Chinese access to the Mediterranean. And Syria is now the last foothold for Russia, Iran and China on the Mediterranean,” he said
.

“We need to see this confrontation in Syria as part of a bigger confrontation between a coalition of continental powers on the one hand – which includes Russia, China and Iran – confronting a coalition of maritime powers – including the United States, Western Europe and Turkey. The main scene of confrontation is the Middle East, and the core of the Middle East is Syria, for the time being. So we cannot isolate what is going on there from the bigger perspectiv
e.”

Leveque also says it is no secret the overthrow of Assad's regime has been long-sought by Western powers, and if successful, it will not be difficult to predict who is next in line to fall.

“If the Syrian government is overthrown, then they’re going to put someone in place that’s going to further the Western interest. Then Iran would lose an ally, Russia will lose and ally, and of course the next step would be regime change in Iran,” she said.

Interesting RT Russian press propagates very different view to western propaganda
 
Ladies and Gentlemen. Pick your Propaganda, Here we have excellent piece of Russian propaganda to counter also an excellent piece of Western propaganda. And as always and will remain due to the combined stupidity of all of you ladies and gentlemen you will be the one to ultimately pay the price. Believe Russian propaganda and piss on the graves of the thousands of Syrians fighting for their freedom, or believe western propaganda where they will come on white horses to save the poor people with dramatic music in the background on the way killing everyone and everything in between.

Aww what you are suggesting is that we believe in those honest people in the west??? Why do you have to use gutter language here is that the way you have been brought up?? We have seen what happened in Libya where without American intervention the popular movement couldn't even get out of Benghazi. You cant use that trick again.

Yes we are the reason of all the Evil in the world muahahahahaha.
 
Read my post again.


West are liars mate its that simple for me. Why is it protesters in America are known as protesters but in our countries they are rebels?? If five or 10 per cent of the local population ie minority are against the govt and receive encouragement from outside state intervention with ulterior motives it is very easy to pretend that they are freedom fighters when in reality they are criminals breaking the law.

Based on your logic if Protests in Saudi Arabia and previously in Iran as well were to happen (Have happened) the people who did it are criminals breaking the law. All the world lies, Welcome to Cold War 2 my friend and "Truth is the first casualty of War" keep that in mind as well.

Yes its true Zionist unroyal family of sauds, Israel and America are allies and killers of Muslims all around the world. You wnt me to start a few saudi threads to expose that fraud family that rule you.
Back to thread we know which side Saudis are on in geo political strategic world
 
@Topic My POV was always that Iran is just a screensaver, Syria is next and then be ready for Pakistan's turn direct/indirect. They can't do these kind of activities in Iran because it's internal intelligence is so strong and it's famous that if you see two Iranians are talking you can be 50% sure that one is working for govt. and if there are 3 men talking you can be 100% sure that one of them is working for govt. So - any covert operation is not easy in Iran. And If they can surround Iran from all sides than it can't do anything and most important Iran is not the actual goal.

Pakistan should under no circumstance trust Saudis they are friends of America who is our enemy. Americans are more important to Saudis and as such will be used against us

Whatever happens it is the internal matter for that country and its people to decide. Not monkeys outside with vested ulterior motives

And you again talk of what you don't know. Does not matter who's side of propaganda you are in all id misguided. I have explained it once some time ago and you have read my explanations time and again. Start your threads or don't the truth is shadowed by huge walls of lies surrounding our world. The only way to see the truth is to stop climbing these walls to get to the top because the more you do the higher the walls will go. Clear your mind of all previous thought as I once did and look for the bits of pieces of truth scattered on the ground. Dying, helpless. People have forsaken it to serve their own feelings and wants in this world.

And what makes you so sure that in both Libya's case and in Syria's case it is not the will of the people?? Clear your mind and get down from the high wall you climbed.

We can't trust on Iran either, we must take all and every kind of steps necessary to ensure our security and interests. Most importantly it's time that we must stand on our feet and work hard to reduce our dependencies, It's not impossible task.
