Of Syria and Civil Wars - thanks
The weapons are foreign, the fighters are foreign, the agenda is foreign. Undoubtedly there are Syrians who oppose the Syrian government and even Syrians who have taken up arms against the government and in turn, against the Syrian people, but from the beginning in fact before the beginning this war has been driven from abroad. It is a valid question to ask just when it all really started. But the Cold War itself was simply a continuation of geopolitical struggle that has carried on for centuries between various centers of power upon the planet. In this context, however, we can see that what may be portrayed as a local conflict, may fit into a much larger geopolitical struggle between these prominent centers of special interests. Syria had maintained close ties to the Soviet Union throughout the Cold War. That meant that even with the fall of the Soviet Union, Syria still had ties to Russia. It uses Russian weapons and tactics. It has economic, strategic and political ties to Russia and it shares mutual interests including the prevailing of a multipolar world order that emphasizes the primacy of national sovereignty. Because of this, Western centers of power have sought for decades to draw Syria out of this orbit along with many other nations. Of Syria and Civil WarsAgence France-Presse via Google News.
