Empire’s destruction of Syria serves to advance its imperial hegemony against additional prey countries using terrorist assets.

Geopolitical analyst Brian Berletic recently noted,

“As warned, the US is transforming Syria into a hub of terrorism to export violence across the Middle East (vs Iran and its allies), the rest of Eurasia (vs China & its Belt & Road projects), and beyond.

US President Trump picks up where Obama-Biden left off, approving of plans to fold 1000s of extremists into Syria’s “army” under the nominal leadership of US proxy Al Jolani who heads the still-US-listed terrorist organization Al Nusra/HTS (Al Qaeda in Syria)…

The open admission 1000s Uyghur extremists are fighting for Al Qaeda in Syria undermines US propaganda accusing China of “genocide” when in reality China was managing very real extremism and terrorism – US-approved extremism/terrorism.”(1)

U.S Colonel Wilkinson, former Chief of Staff to former U.S Secretary of State Colin Powell, concurs with this assessment acknowledging that

“the CIA would want to destabilize China, and that would be the best way to do it, to foment unrest and to join with those Uighurs in pushing the Han Chinese in Beijing from internal places rather than external.”(2)

Empire’s strategic use of ISIS in Syria continues to serve Western-supported Zionist barbarism. A report by The Cradle indicates that Israel is cooperating with the ISIS-linked “Yasser Abu Shabab’ militia whose tasks include “preventing humanitarian aid from entering Gaza and fighting Hamas”.(3)

.

.

Similarly, ISIS terrorism(4) continues to afflict Iran, which should not be surprising, since Iran was described by General Flynn years ago as a country in Washington’s crosshairs for regime change.(5)

Washington’s international hegemony equates to more terrorism globally, and now the prime terror elements have been legitimized in “New Syria” where their numbers and power will grow.

Syria, thanks to Washington’s Regime Change War, is now a cradle of sectarian terrorism. Even as terrorist elements are being incorporated into the military, “government”-affiliated extremists are committing genocide against minorities.(6)

Prior to Washington’s Regime Change War, Syria was a cradle of civilisation, a country of tolerance, a country of ethnic and religious pluralism.

Now it is a hub of extremism and terrorism, and a stepping stone for further imperial conquests.
