After Aleppo: We Need a New Syria Policy
Ron Paul: “The same people screaming that Russia tried to influence the presidential election using leaked DNC emails spent the last five years trying to overthrow the Syrian government using terrorists. Hypocrisy? My latest column at the link:”http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2016/december/19/after-aleppo-we-need-a-new-syria-policy/
Over the past week, eastern Aleppo was completely brought back under control of the Syrian government. … the western mainstream media did not have a single reporter on the ground in Aleppo, but relied on “activists” to inform us that the Syrian army was massacring the civilian population. It hardly makes sense. ...
we do know a few things about what happened in Syria over the past five years. This was no popular uprising to overthrow a dictator and bring in democracy. From the moment President Obama declared “Assad must go” and approved sending in weapons, it was obvious this was a foreign-sponsored regime change operation that used foreign fighters against Syrian government forces. If the Syrian people really opposed Assad, there is no way he could have survived five years of attack from foreigners and his own people.
Recently we heard that the CIA and Hillary Clinton believe that the Russians are behind leaked Democratic National Committee documents, and that the leaks were meant to influence the US presidential election in Donald Trump’s favor. These are the same people who for the past five years have been behind the violent overthrow of the Syrian government, which has cost the lives of hundreds of thousands. Isn’t supporting violent overthrow to influence who runs a country even worse than leaking documents? Is it OK when we do it? Why? Because we are the most powerful country? ...
The hypocrisy of our political leaders who say one thing and do another does not go unnoticed. We should end that hypocrisy starting with Syria. … The only sensible Syria policy is for the US to stop trying to overthrow their government ...
