The P5+1 nuclear deal with Iran has raised hopes for new diplomatic efforts across the regions, with the biggest hopes coming in Syria, where the Iran-allied Assad government is seeing some new international interest in engagement toward a transitional pact.
The new interest in Syria is only tangentially related to the Iran deal, of course, with the rise of ISIS, which controls more than half of the country now, leading many nations to believe that a “unity government” against ISIS, giving way to post-war elections, might make more sense than the multi-lateral warfare.
Russia has been pushing this angle for awhile, and the US has led the opposition. Though the US hasn’t gone on record shifting toward Russia, other nations have and recent meetings between Russian and US officials suggest that the Obama Administration may privately be coming around.
Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin says he believes there is a “high possibility” that the UN Security Council will back a new plan for peace talks by Steffan de Mistura, the first time an “exclusively political document” on Syria will get through without either the US or Russia vetoing it.
Iran is also working on unity government moves, and Oman is seen pushing Saudi Arabia and its allies to come to the table on the matter. That would’ve been unthinkable not so long ago, but it too seems to have a reasonable chance of happening.
Does anyone find it very odd that such a small country such as Syria where the Assad government is either under direct or covert attack from enemies such as Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the U.S. The Gulf states, as well as ISIS and the 'moderate' Syrian Rebels (as if there is such a thing), for the past four years………how exactly has Assad been hanging on and still in power.
Something is not adding up here!
The western democracy had one thing in their mind, to destroy Syria as much as possible. The Swedish government participated in defending NATO policy in Libya, so as western neo liberalism, neo fascism policies in Syria, the Swedish king actively supported and still supporting the Saudis dictatorial regime which doesn't ends here, the Swedish social democrats were supporting the Yugoslavia war and Swedish banking system investment in Balkan country's is tremendous.
This is not about Syria or Syrian peoples, all that falsified "democratic" policies, either from left or right is about expansion of their ideas in colonialism, they don't act, nor they respect the democratical values, nor they respect the principals, the neo liberals, either from left or right, they just react to the situation where they can profit from. Such policy in idiocy is from Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and George W. Bush policy which have managed to destroy countries and the unity of nations in Europe, North Africa and Middle East, now after their notion of demecracy, they are beginning to realize their stupidity. There is no other way but for western democracy to beg from the legitimate government of Syria, Iraq and Iran, helping them to fight what west have created. Such ideas in a unity government and peace was presented by the Syrian government 4 years ago.
