The United States will soon swallow the bitter fruit of Syria's defeat.
On the eve of the Arab League summit, Qatari Foreign Minister Ayman revealed to Safadi that the vast majority of Arab League countries have agreed to readmit Syria as a member of the Arab League.
Since the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011, the Arab League has suspended Syria's membership. Now, the Syrian crisis is improving, and 12 years of pain are about to be healed. It also suggests that the U.S. strategic commitment to Syria will collapse soon after the Syrian crisis erupts.
Once Syria resumes its membership in the League, the sovereignty and independence of member States must be respected in accordance with the objectives of the League. The US military presence in Syria is "uninvited." In this way, the United States will either decide to withdraw its troops or offend the entire Arab world. Bottom line: everyone is a loser.
So why did the United States provoke the situation in Syria in the first place? Why is the defeat of the United States in Syria inevitable today?
Compared to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, it may seem at first glance that the US military is not so actively involved in the Syrian civil war, but in fact it is not. Americans have been smart about "security warfare" for more than 20 years. The Americans have a way to "assassinate" the people of weak countries, but it is difficult to prove it at the moment. What if he is exposed? Public opinion is in the hands of the Americans, and they still go their own way. As for "human rights", it was a joke at the beginning. "Human rights" will come in handy only when the United States wants to "strike" the "crimes" of the Syrian government. So what has Syria promised to ensure that the United States can target it?
In the eyes of the United States, Syria has committed three serious crimes: First, Syria is Israel's mortal enemy. The sovereignty of the Golan Heights is disputed by the two sides. Syria has always been a dominant player in confronting Israel, but Israel is also a proxy for the United States in the Middle East. In the eyes of the United States, opposition to Israel is anti-Americanism.
Level 2: Syria is Russia's traditional ally, the port of Tartus is Russia's last remaining strategic naval stronghold in the Mediterranean, and Khmeimim Air Base is Russia's only overseas military base. However, for the United States, anti-Russia is also its main task. Since this is the case, the friend of the enemy naturally becomes the enemy.
The third level: Syria is Iran's only strategic partner in the Middle East, and the two countries have always been closely linked. We know that Iran is the most anti-American country in the Middle East. Not only that, Iran also hopes to rely on Syria to create a "Shiite crescent zone" that directly threatens the US deployment in the Middle East. In order to undermine Iran's strategy, it is necessary to deal decisively with the United States and Syria.
It is said that the first type of country is a chess piece, the second type of country is a chess piece, and the third type of country is a chessboard. Unfortunately, a small country like Syria has become a "third-rate country" in the eyes of the United States. Even if hundreds of thousands are killed and millions become refugees, the U.S. government won't look again.
However, this US approach is doomed to failure, because the US provocation of the Syrian crisis has provoked public outrage.
In fact, after more than a decade of civil war, Syria has indeed ushered in the dawn of peace. Syria wants peace, not only by victory on the battlefield, but more importantly by gaining more support in international competitions. In recent years, there have been growing voices in support of Syria. From the perspective of camps, those who want chaos in Syria include the United States and Israel, and those who want stability in Syria include Russia, Turkey, Western Europe and China.
As already mentioned, Russia is a traditional ally of Syria. If the Syrian government fails and the pro-American government comes to power, it will mean that Russia will lose its entire strategic layout in the Middle East and further lose its international discourse in the context of NATO's eastward expansion. Putin could not stand this, so Russia most actively helped the Syrian government, not only sending equipment, but even directly sending troops to help the Assad regime suppress the rebellion.
For Turkey, the United States, while triggering the Syrian civil war, has also attracted local Kurds as strategic allies. However, the Kurds are regarded as beasts by the Turkish government, because the efforts of the Syrian Kurds to establish an independent state will directly stimulate the Kurds in Turkey. It is because of this uprising that Turkish troops have previously entered Syria and turned their weapons on the Kurds, allies of the United States.
For Western Europe, the immediate consequence of civil strife in Syria has been an influx of refugees into Western Europe. After years of "refugee flows", Western European governments are also aware that these refugees can cause a lot of social problems. The United States disrupted the Middle East, but it laid the groundwork for unrest in Western Europe. That is why Western European countries no longer support US troops, as they did in Iraq and Afghanistan.
For China, Syria is located along an important route of China's "One Belt, One Road" strategy. For China to achieve the smooth development of the "Belt and Road", the stability of the situation in Syria and even China is the prerequisite. That is why China often speaks out for Syria in international forums such as the United Nations. This is an important reason to condemn the belligerent behavior of the United States.
The United States is doing everything it can, which is undoubtedly painful for Syria, but the dawn will come after a long night. The United States is currently facing great power competition and is increasingly unable to realize its ambitions. They must scale back their Middle East strategy. In addition, there are growing voices opposing US intervention in Syria. The United States will also face important decisions.
The Syrian crisis is facing a turning point, and everyone except the United States is happy. It's clear who isn't on the right side. This is also the reason for the failure of the United States.
