Topic: Bad omens over Syria's future - page 2. (Read 330 times)

Funny, countries started banning applications of Syrian refugees. Syria is still at war and there are several factions and states pouring their arms to battle over total conquest. The war is dar from over and a formal government being formed democratically is far far from reality for Syria. The future does not seem bright.

So why stop accepting refugees before the dust settles?

It's so erratic how the west handles this situation in my opinion. No end in sight, really.

Syria will be protected short-term and probably longer from those issues, and even gain greater strength (greater than Turkey and many states in EU) as long as she isn't against Russia, and to some extent Trump's regime. And must not work against Israel.
She is free not to support any evil deed of Israel, Russia and Trump's regime.

This is worrying, this leadership overthrow will certainly be infiltrated by foreign parties, always like that like Muamar Gaddafi as you said and it is very alarming.
Before choosing a new regime the community needs to see who the candidates and backgrounds of their new leaders are, what are the real interests brought, do not be consumed by masks, because the poor national situation with the ongoing conflict will be a lot of threatening from the outside or from inside.

I hope they are fine and do not do carelessness like what is faced by Libya.

As long as the greed for power, weapons and self-esteem remain among the people, the people of the country will be oppressed, especially Syria, which has regained its independence. This may be good for the oppressed people. But no leader or minister and no person in the country's government cares about the plight and oppression of the people, because all those people are asleep in power.
However, at present, the people of Syria have overthrown Bashar al-Assad, but the people of Syria must remember that various powerful external forces may appear before them with their interests, and the people need to know how to fight for themselves without caring about these forces.

A local proverb in my tribe says, "No matter how hard the leopard washes itself it cannot remove its spots". Regardless of how Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham tries to rebrand itself, it is still a terrorist organization. Members have stopped wearing the turban for military uniform, but it is difficult to change from an ideology infused via strong indoctrination. Very soon women will be chased out of schools and citizens will be forced to accept the Islamic teachings of radicals.

The West knows that this set of people cannot be tamed. But because they wanted to hurt Iran and Russia and steal lands, they decided to compromise the destiny of 22.13 million people. After making a mess of the country, these powerful nations will block their borders to avoid accepting refugees just as they did in Iraq and Libya.       

If what you're saying happens that means that the Syrian people will be going from frying pan to fire, from the hands of a dictator to perhaps something worse. It's sad that these developed countries indirectly dictates what happens in underdeveloped countries and that is how it has always been, from colonialism to indirect control of who leads the countries. Most of these leaders in underdeveloped countries that are not democratic are still in power because it benefits the big brother countries, when they fall out of favor with the big brother, their removals will be plotted, this is the way I see it. That is the reason why you'll never see meaningful developments in countries like Syria, and the African continent because it won't be in the favor of the developed economies.

Assad, like Putin, screwed up his rating for which he paid the price.

I think Syria will live better with the opposition.

For the bloodshed in Syria to end a miracle would be needed at this point.
The west hasn't shed a single tear for Israel's illegal settlement or for Turkey's military campaign against the Kurds.
No one is speaking for Kurdish or Syrian rights these days. All the media cares about is what Assad is doing and how he lost power.

The people of Syria couldn't care less about Assad's current whereabouts when it's their future that is at stake.
They've gone through so many years of insecurity and aggression imposed upon them, the only thing they would need is peace.
And being realistic, it's very unlikely that a group lead by an ISIS affiliate is going to provide that.



Let us observe how the US was labeling the leader of the "rebel group" a few years ago.
The future in Syria now is more uncertain than ever. And let's not be mistaken that the west collectively bears a lot of the responsibility of armaments being gathered in the region. Wouldn't it have been expected that these would have been later used by some of the bad guys?

But now the bad guys have somehow been labelled as the good guys? Maybe it's the west trying to save face after total failure, maybe it'sthe fact that they've gotten reassurances from the people they would call terrorists so they don't care. We'll soon find out. Eyes on the oil and we'll find out.

To be honest, I did not expect to see the dictator and his family to shifty leave the country, I thought they were going to defend it against the rebels in Syria whatever it could have taken, but I guess I was wrong...
I agree with you on the global powers of the United States and the European Union having their own plans to push forward with the new administration which could take place now the regime seems to be changing. Israel taking more land is not surprising at all, they assume the new Syrian administration is going to be pro-USa and pro Israel, so they will be willing to concede those territorial changes for Israel, in exchange of a relatively fragile peace with their neighbor.

Still, the civil war could be far from over, the head of the state of the country may be in Russia but still continue to give orders and still has the backing of Putin and his mercenaries to do their bidding.

Technically, they can be both rebels and terrorist. Just one thing, the US supports mostly the Kurds (called Democratic Forces or the like). I think it is in the interest of the US and also the new government to find some way of working together - government makes strange bed partners.

The same people who labelled them terrorists have now changed their name to rebels. This is to show us the level of hypocrisy that exist in this world. Because they want to control Syria by all means so they decided to form alliance with people who committed one of the biggest crime in the US (9/11). The celebration of the people of Syria might be short-lived because their assumption that they have gained freedom might be wrong. Maybe they have entered into a more terrible bondage. I am sure that most people who celebrated the killing of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi are highly disappointed today. Many of them will wish that these men became life presidents.

So long as we still have guns, weapons of mass destruction, greedy politicians who are drunk in power etc, the chaos will always be there. For now, I think the plight of the masses is much more important. The people need how to learn to fight for themselves without calling onto the support of external forces who may come in with different interests.

The US and EU pretend as though colonialism and invasions are things of the past, but this is happening every day and until they stop interfering with affairs of different "sovereign" states, then maybe we could never see a much better world.

Isn't it funny how US media is calling the jihadists that did away with Assad now "rebels" and not terrorists or militia?
The EU seeming all so eager to cooperate with the new Syrian powers that be.
On the first day of Assad leaving the country Israel seized even more land above the Golan heights.
And surely Turkey will gladly continue its massacre against Kurds in north Syria.

All these imperial powers that illegally occupy Syrian lands at the moment don't seem to mind the regime change at all.

All these are incredibly bad omens for Syria's future. Don't forget that NATO's involvement which eventually lead to the capture and killing of Gaddafi, eventually lead Lybia into absolute chaos. Now the EU funds literall terror groups to keep the migrants at bay, perpetuating a vicious cycle of violence and societal collapse.

Make no mistake, Syria will be no different. When you see the US and EU supporting a regime change, a country is very likely to be plundged in chaos even worse than before.
