So I saw John Kerry's speech where he said the United States could continue to pursue peace in Syria following a breakdown in peacetalks with Russia. My question is, why are we intervening in their business?
Especially given how well Iraq went back in the oughties.
1) Larger goal, I think - control of Europe (which US is slowly losing) and thus forcing it to accept Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, which gives massive advantage to US corporations. But endangers Europe's economics.
2) How can it be done? Control of energy resources valve. If US manages to connect it's slaves in Middle East to Europe, it can force political and economics decisions in Europe.
3) For US there's a problem - Syria (and it's current government) is an ally of Russia and Iran. Who want to sell it's energy resources to Europe themselves, thus make Europe depend on economic connections with Russia.
4) The whole rhetoric about rights, legitimate government and stuff, some made-up crimes against Syrian society by Asad - it's just a cover up for demolition of current pro-Russian (and, to be honest, pro-Syrian, since Russia is interested in stability in the region) government in Syria.
5) Main instrument for this - so-called "moderate opposition", which is, in truth, thugs and terrorists, who kill children, chop heads and do whatever they like. They have support and media cover-up of US and it's sattelites, as well as financial support.
6) The last thing US needs in this situation, since Asad doesn't resign and supported by people - peace in Syria. Asad should leave, new government should obey US.
7) But US politicians created massive problems for themselves, when they decided to use terrorists (not for the first time, in the past 50 years) as an instrument for "regime" demolition. Their anti-human and anti-muslim methods are despised, locals are suffering - they die, they get abused, they're being robbed, they're used as slaves and life shield against Syrian army. That's why Syria is a natural ally for Russia, which suffered a lot from radical Islam.
