It doesn't change the fact that imperial powers ruined syria

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Imperial powers created Syria. Modern Syria anyway. The entire Middle East has been an Imperial project since colonialism. Pretty much only the Saudis and Israel (and Iran, if you want to count it as Middle Eastern) aren't on board.

I mean, not for lack of trying, they did stage a coup and plant the Shah of Iran as the leader for a while

Of course it had nothing to do with the repressive authoritarian regime killing its own people because they had the temerity to protest.

Of course the usa support rebels because they care about syrians and human life and not because they only cares about their own interest. The usa representing democracy is the number one supported of coups over the world, the country who represent human rights ignores the crimes commited by israel and is allying with saudi arabia. The countries who had revolutions without imperialist powers didn't fell into a civil war inlike all other revolutions with russia or usa interference.
