After admonishing 70-year-old GOP nominee real estate mogul Donald Trump about protecting classified briefings, President Barack Obama warned Russian Vladimir Putin that he faced international isolation for continuing to support the regime of Bashar al-Assad. Obama won’t admit that he’s on the wrong side of the conflict. When Barack says Putin risks isolation, he’s really saying that his Saudi-Turkey-based alliance to topple al-Assad’s Shiite government has failed. Supporting various rebel groups to topple al-Assad, all have failed to make any headway in the six-year Saudi-U.S.-Turkey-funded proxy war that’s caused an estimated 300,000 deaths, displacing some 11 million more to neighboring countries and Europe. Obama’s Syrian War drove the U.K. June 23 to vote to end their tie to the European Union, demanding Brits take increasingly large numbers of Syrian refugees.
Meeting at the Pentagon Aug. 4, Obama said Russia risked branded as an “irresponsible actor,” when, in fact, Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and Turkey, are the culprits violating Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, funding a proxy war that’s caused, according to Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch the biggest humanitarian crisis since WWII. “Time for Russia to show that it is serious,” Obama said at the Pentagon, expecting Russian President Vladimir Putin to join his proxy war to topple al-Assad. Speaking to the U.N. General Assembly Sept. 28, 2015, Putin stated toppling al-Assad would spread more death, destruction and terrorism to the region. Obama rubber-stamps the Saudi proxy war, not realizing he’s on the wrong side of the conflict. Putin’s 100% correct that toppling Mideast dictators, like in Iraq, Egypt and Libya, results in more Islamic terrorism.
Announcing he would start bombing Islamic State of Iraq and Syria positions in Sirte, Libya, Obama admitted that he caused the terrorist chaos now plaguing Libya, toppling Col. Muammar Gaddafi Aug. 24, 2011. Obama’s audacity suggesting Putin’s on the wrong side of the conflict because he doesn’t join the Saudi-U.S.-Turkey proxy war against al-Asssad goes beyond the pale. Reporting about Syria, the press often points to Russia and Iranian backing as preventing a Sunni takeover of Damascus. Obama likes to call the Syrian conflict a “civil war” to hide the fact it’s a well-orchestrated Saudi-U.S-Turkey proxy war. No one at the U.N., including Geneva-based Special Envoy Staffan de Mistura, has yanked Syria’s U.N. membership. “I’m not confident that we can trust the Russians or Vladimir Putin,” said Obama, showing his 100% backing of the Saudi-U.S.-Turkey funded proxy war.
Obama can’t admit that once Putin decided to go after Saudi-U.S.-Turkey-backed rebel groups Sept. 30, 2015, the war shifted to consolidating al-Assad’s power. Obama acts like it’s OK for a sovereign government to let terrorist groups topple a U.N.-member state. “Which is why we have to test whether or not we can get an actual cessation of hostilities,” said Barack, something that he negotiated May 6 with Secretary of State John Kerry when al-Assad’s forces looked poised in Aleppo to wipe out Jaish al-Islam’s, the main Saudi-backed terror group seeking to topple al-Assad. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir has stated publicly many times that he will not stop the war, regardless of the consequences, including breaking up the European Union, until al-Assad leaves Damascus. Ridding Damascus of al-Assad helps no one, other that radical Saudi-backed Sunni terror groups.
Backing the Saudi proxy war in Syria has driven U.S.-Russian relations to Cold Wars lows. How Barack expects Putin, who has a long alliance and military bases in Syrai, to betray al-Assad is anyone’s guess. Obama’s tossed out nearly 60 years of U.S. diplomacy with former Soviet Union and Russian Federation. Letting Putin annex Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula March 1, 2014, Obama’s been a warpath against Putin. If you really look at what happened in Kiev, a Feb. 22, 2014 U.S.-backed coup toppled the duly elected and Kremlin-backed government of Viktor Yanukovich. Watching Kiev fall to pro-Western elements, Putin responded by annexing Crimea. Obama’s unwillingness to confront Putin directly in Crimea plays into today’s conflict in Syria. Backing the Saudi proxy war against al-Assad, Obama continues the same old Cold War strategy that put the world close to nuclear war.
Obama acts like there’s nothing different the U.S. can do to end the Syrian War. He could start by telling Saudi’s King Salman that he no longer backs his proxy war against al-Assad. “There is no a meeting that I do not end by saying is there something else that we could be doing that we haven’t though of? Is the a plan ‘F,’ ‘G,’ ‘H,’ that we think would lead to a resolution of this issues,” said Obama, showing, he’s too weak to confront the Saudis. Barack could end the war tomorrow by telling King Salman and al-Jubeir that the U.S.no longer supports their proxy war against al-Assad. There’s simply too much at stake with the war’s catastrophic humanitarian consequences, especially pushing the EU to the breaking point. Obama’s says he wants options. How about sitting down with Putin and agreeing to let al-Assad stay put, finally ending the Saudi’s six-year proxy war.
