The Syrian Brief:
In the first few weeks of the Syrian people coming to the streets after the Arab Spring Moscow sent special forces to Damascus. The Syrian people including women and children where in the streets asking for the corrupt Assad regime to step down.
The Syrian People had watched Tunisia and Egypt’s Arab spring and we're hopeful that the dynasty of another Assad regime would end. After all it was only decades that this Assad Regime has been in office. It was Moscow with there only Mediterranean naval base that decided they could not lose the Assad regime. So the Russian Special Forces arrived on a Saturday and that Wednesday the massacres began. The Assad Syrian government with the guidance of Moscow decided to take back the streets from the people. Including a Syrian Government tank running over a boy on a bicycle.
And so it began. This is the truth behind what actually happened in Syria. So know we had the Syrian army with the help of the Russian Special Forces. Pretty soon Iran was invited into Syria also. At this time Syria with the Assad regime where thrown out of the Arab League, due to the brutality of one man on his own people. I soon called for a no fly zone and to control the borders both land and naval. I knew this would be the only way to stop Moscow and Tehran from bolstering the Assad regime.
Senator John McCain called for a no fly also and to arm the Syrian Rebels. Unfortunately the White House had no intention of going so far as we both called for. It took many months for the White House to supply arms. First it was all talk, and finally decided to send arms. Allowing the USA to supply AK 47’s and communication gear to the Syrian Rebels.
You can’t win a War with AK 47’s. Syrian army had helicopters which Moscow after the Massacre decided to fly in along with helicopter parts. Russia from the beginning was supplying arms and support to the Assad Syrian regime. This allowed the Syrian army to control the skies over Syria. Allowing the government to use the helicopter to kill the Syrian People. In the Afghanistan War with Russia, it was President Reagan that supplied Shoulder rocket missiles to the Afghanistan Rebels. Allowing the Afghan Rebels the ability to destroy the Russian helicopters. It was this act that made Moscow think about the War after the invaded Afghanistan and soon would retreat due to the overwhelming response from the Russian people who were getting upset with the War dead returning home. But the White House only supplied AK 47’s even years into the Syrian War.
The truth is very simple. Moscow wanted to keep its only naval base and did all it could to keep it. It should be noted that just this week China has sent their Aircraft carrier to the Syrian Port that Russia now controls. Moscow did all it could including a veto in the United Nations Security Council on tough action against Syria for destroying it own people. The truth is the Arab League throw out Syria. It should have been then that the USA should have stood up to the Assad (the second) regime. But it did not. The tragedy in Syria is the direct involvement of Moscow and the lack of strength from the White House.
Today September 27th 2015 we have a Syria which at this point should really be called “Little Russia”. I am sure Moscow will create a large military presence in Syria. With a large military complex and plans on being there for years to come. Just like the USA created a military complex in Germany after World War II, I see Russia military complex to be in Syria for years if not decades to come. So I guess we can point fingers and blame other countries for what is a Syria of ash or we can find a way to move forward and bring a People back home.
