On Sunday, the Arab League voted to readmit Syria, marking a significant step in Damascus’ efforts to normalize relations with regional countries.
Syria was suspended from the Arab League at the outbreak of war in 2011, and many of the bloc’s members threw their support behind the failed regime change effort against President Bashar al-Assad.
Some members of the Arab League opposed bringing Damascus back into the fold, including Qatar, which did not send its foreign minister to the meeting in Cairo, where the vote was held. Foreign ministers from 13 out of 22 Arab League members attended the meeting.
Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the Arab League’s secretary-general, said Assad could attend the next Arab League summit that will be held in Saudi Arabia later this month. “Syria, starting from this evening, is a full member of the Arab League, and from tomorrow morning they have the right to occupy any seat,” he said.
Aboul Gheit also said restoring Syria’s Arab League membership does not mean all states are normalizing with Damascus. “These are sovereign decisions for each state individually,” he said.
Syria still remains under crippling US sanctions, which are its greatest impediment to the country’s reconstruction. The US opposes regional countries normalizing with Damascus as it prefers to keep the country isolated and wants to continue occupying eastern Syria.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed his opposition to normalization with the Assad government in a call with his Jordanian counterpart on May 4. The conversation came after Amman hosted a meeting of Arab foreign ministers, including Syria’s.
“Secretary Blinken made clear that the United States will not normalize relations with the Assad regime and does not support others normalizing until there is authentic, UN-facilitated political progress in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2254,” Blinken said in the call, according to the State Department.
A White House National Security Council official said earlier that the US was “encouraged” by the Amman meeting because the Arab foreign ministers because they released a joint statement calling to resolve the crisis with Syria consistent with UN Security Council Resolution 2254, which calls for a solution “through an inclusive and Syrian-led political process.”
The NSC official’s position marked a shift in rhetoric as the US previously dismissed any engagement with the Syrian government. Following the Amman meeting, the Arab ministers also voiced their support for Syria to reclaim all of its territory, including the areas currently occupied by the US.
It’s time for the US to pack its bags and come home.
For those who don’t know why our troops are there:
Outstanding Thank you. I used this in my daily news letter to a few individuals who are active and retired military.
For those who don’t know why our troops are STILL in Syria!
The American Invasion of Syria
American troops are still in country in Syria with no end in sight to their deployment. America continues to keep oil fields and agricultural areas taking control of oil and grain and shipping it by truck to and through Iraq to market.
If anyone remembers it was obama, in 2015, who came out in a press conference and said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will be kick out of office soon and President Putin will be gone shortly after that.
Who is out of office?
Technically obama is out of office and a new administration in in power.
Now obama is hiding behind the puppet Joey Biden; as the puppet master obama directs Joey to implement any macro programs the real power brokers dictate to obama.
“In 2011, the United States, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and most Persian Gulf states conspired to destroy Syria for different reasons. They covertly sent tens of thousands of jihadist mercenaries to Syria and shipped them billions of dollars of weaponry and supplies to overthrow the government of Syria. This effort failed so the USA launched a massive bombing campaign to destroy eastern Syria while an American led mercenary force invaded from Iraq to occupy eastern Syria before it could be liberated by the Syrian army. This effort stalled, so President Barack Obama authorized thousands of American combat troops to invade Syria, even though he had publicly promised not to send American ground troops into Syria.”

And Kirby is only trying to point out the difference between a “lie” and a “Noble lie”.
B.O. campaigned to bring the troops home by Xmas, but surged one war and started 3 new ones. Trump did the same, but at least didn’t start any new ones, although he did plan to attack Iran but was talked out of it. And, I predict the next potus, whoever it may be will be no different. https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-na-pol-obama-at-war/
The toxic trio of Sullivan, Blinken and Nuland, neoliberal-cons part of the “Biden” combo will never admit defeat. They just double down and do what Israel tells them to do, even if that leads to WWIII.
Read this permanent version Israel did 9/11 allegdedly
I didn’t say anything about 9/11 or who the real perps were.
Did they ever find that plane that hit the Pentagon accounting office??
That was what they are supposed to do. It is not just these trio. This was the case all along. Started with Lyndon Johnson. Zionist take over is complete. Wind back. Richard Pearl, Paul Wolfowits, David Cohen All lead America to disaster. They never cared for America. Their interests and loyalty stay elsewhere
Just as the Uk had to abandon its colonies worldwide in 1947 when they went bankrupt America will soon have to divest it’s 800 plus military bases worldwide.
The US is defaulting and the Feds might not save it!
Like I said the perfect storm of inflation abetted by profligate fiat money creation and dedollarization are bringing financial ruin to America.
“The United States has never experienced a debt default in modern history. The debt ceiling, which the government set for itself, has been raised or suspended over time to prevent the United States from going into default on its obligations. However, as a result of this debt ceiling and the inflated debt bubble that the US has created around itself, the
US is currently being forced to file for bankruptcy.”

When the Iraq government ask them to leave they refused so now they are a occupying force , in Syria they are stealing the oil that belongs to the Syrian people , why is it Western nations bend the knee to a nation that is totally corrupt ?.
When did the Iraqi government ask them to leave?
I recall an incident a few years ago in which there was a boycott of parliament by one of the major parties, and the party that showed up voted unanimously to ask the government to ask the US to leave. But the government ignored the request.
Let’s pretend their entire parliament was present and voted unanimously that they wanted us gone. Would we have left? Or would President Don Don tell them that he’d sanction them worst then Iran if they pursued that request? Just asking.

At least they stopped repeating like parrots “Assad must go” and those who shouted that silly slogan loudest, are gone.
Yes, we all know Assad treats all of its citizens with respect and has never violated human rights and when nations do so, the US should look away and ignore calls for help because that’s what civilizations should do. My country is doing ok so F the rest of the world.
Human Right ? Thats what US sacrifices each day as part of it’s obligatory morning prayer .
Do you think the next SOB would have been any better? The smart thing that would have minimized the sum total of human suffering in Syria would have been to back Assad. I do accept that he is a horrible SOB. Or if we are serious about bringing the benefits of democracy to Syria don’t do it on the cheap through al Quaeda proxies but send in the troops kill about 1/3 of the population and I will bet the surviving 2/3 will decide to be democratic or really whatever we want the to be.
What takes place in other countries is no business of the US or anyone else , not to mention every US intervention has led to DEATH DESTRUCTION & CHAOS with the only winners being US merchants of death , the US has invaded 33 countries since 1952/3 to the present day not to mention state sanctioned assassinations of world leaders coups ect ect ect , America is the problem not the solution, ho and while we are at it Russia won WW2 not the US / UK as they would have us believe.
So, if a minority faction in this country asked another country for “help”, would you be ok with that country’s government demanding that our president step down? And would you be ok with that government imposing sanctions on this country that could literally kill millions of people?
Keep believeing in fairytales Julio. The U.S. interferes in most countries not out of concern for the people but in order to control their government and steal their resources.
Gone? Those never go away. Just recreate each other in own image, double down. Lose, and claim victory. They make mess and than pretend to know what solutiins to apply. It never happens ends.
many of the Arab bloc’s members threw their support behind the failed regime change effort against President Bashar al-Assad
but now suddenly Arab block is changing its tune ? maybe Syria is supposed to just forget that the other Arabs were betrayers.
Assad could attend an Arab League summit in Saudi Arabia later this month
IMO he would be a fool to leave the safety of his own headquarters.
I never could understand what principle was involved here other than the kind of social order you might see in a wolfpack where one gets a little weak and the others turn on it.
Politics. Filthy business. Sanitation workers have a cleaner job.
The Arab block could have been more power full than the US , but the US kept them at each others throats to keep control of the oil , now if the Arab nations agree to disagree kick the yanks out of the M.E take full control of the oil the yanks won`t like that one bit and i would imagine regime changes and assassinations will be on the cards .
Someone should tell him about the chopped up “journalist”.
Video conferencing is always an option…!
If anyone remembers it was obama, in 2015, who came out in a press conference and said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will be kick out of office soon and President Putin will be gone shortly after that.
Now obama is hiding behind the puppet Joey Biden; as the puppet master obama directs Joey to implement any macro programs the real power brokers dictate to obama.
And none of this would be happening without Obama? Why can’t the “power brokers” deal directly with Biden?
Well, I’m certainly enjoying psychotic screaming of imperial parasites. All their plans for global domination are in ruins. What a great time to be alive!
And not before time , i have said this many time the Muslim nations of the M.E should kick the yanks out and sort out their own problems , the yanks will only keep them divided to keep control of the oil , this tells you all you need to know about the yanks their for ever wars and their thirst for oil , they are 5% of the worlds population yet they use 25% of the worlds resources .
could you imagine the US feds admitting that something was only a state issue? Could you imagine if the EU said “you know, this really ought to be handles by the separate nations.”
That’s a breath of fresh air.
Blinken can oppose, but Syria is in the Arab League and the US is not.
How could Arab League have the audacity to face Assad after the regime change mantra they sang…?!
Assad should demand Punitive Damages from Arab League members…!
Too much oil under Syria and that determines policy in Wash. and always has.
Good news for Syria.
