Remembering that the so called rebels (mostly foreigners from
jihadist Arab countries and the caucus were financed and armed to the
teeth by Saudi Arabia and powers that be,( have brought mayhem and utter
chaos throughout the faith) here is the summary of the convoluted state
of affairs:
A highly restricted briefing paper on Syria:
President Assad (who is bad) is a nasty guy who got so nasty his
people rebelled and the Rebels (who are good) started winning (Hurrah!).
But then some of the rebels turned a bit nasty and are now called
Islamic State (who are definitely bad!) and some continued to support
democracy (who are still good).
So the Americans (who are good) started bombing Islamic State
(who are bad) and giving arms to the Syrian Rebels (who are good) so
they could fight Assad (who is still bad) which was good.
By the way, there is a breakaway state in the north run by the
Kurds who want to fight IS (which is a good thing ) but the Turkish
authorities think they are bad, so we have to say they are bad whilst
secretly thinking they’re good and giving them guns to fight IS (which
is good) but that is another matter.
Getting back to Syria.
So President Putin (who is bad, ‘cos he invaded Crimea and the
Ukraine and killed lots of folks (including that nice Russian man in
London with polonium poisoned sushi) has decided to back Assad (who is
still bad) by attacking IS (who are also bad) which is sort of a good
thing? But Putin (still bad) thinks the Syrian Rebels (who are good) are
also bad, and so he bombs them too, much to the annoyance of the
Americans (who are good) who are busy backing and arming the rebels (who
are also good).
Now Iran (who used to be bad, but now they have agreed not to
build any nuclear weapons and bomb Israel, are now good ) are going to
provide ground troops to support Assad (still bad) as are the Russians
(bad) who now have ground troops and aircraft in Syria.
So a Coalition of Assad (still bad), Putin (extra bad) and the
Iranians (good, but in a bad sort of way) are going to attack IS (who
are bad) which is a good thing, but also the Syrian Rebels (who are
good) which is bad.
Now the British (obviously good, except that nice Mr Corbyn in
the corduroy jacket, who is probably bad and the Americans (also good)
cannot attack Assad (still bad) for fear of upsetting Putin (bad) and
Iran (good/bad) and now they have to accept that Assad might not be that
bad after all compared to IS (who are super bad).
So Assad (bad) is now probably good, being better than IS (but
let’s face it, drinking your own wee is better than IS so no real choice
there) and since Putin and Iran are also fighting IS that may now make
them Good. America (still Good) will find it hard to arm a group of
rebels being attacked by the Russians for fear of upsetting Mr Putin
(now good) and that nice man Ayatollah in Iran (also Good) and so they
may be forced to say that the Rebels are now Bad, or at the very least
abandon them to their fate. This will lead most of them to flee to
Turkey and on to Europe or join IS (still the only constantly bad
group).
To Sunni Muslims, an attack by Shia Muslims (Assad and Iran)
backed by Russians will be seen as something of a Holy War, and the
ranks of IS will now be seen by the Sunnis as the only Jihadis fighting
in the Holy War and hence many Muslims will now see IS as Good (Doh!).
Sunni Muslims will also see the lack of action by Britain and
America in support of their Sunni rebel brothers as something of a
betrayal (mmm…might have a point…) and hence we will be seen as Bad.
So now we have America (now bad) and Britain (also bad) providing
limited support to Sunni Rebels (bad) many of whom are looking to IS
(Good/bad) for support against Assad (now good) who, along with Iran
(also Good) and Putin (also, now, unbelievably, Good) are attempting to
retake the country Assad used to run before all this started?
I hope that clears things up for you.
All the best,
CIGA Riyaz ( probably good but do not jump to judgment just yet)
