Who didn't have a policy of destabilizing Syria? Besides the Great and perhaps the Little Satan, many Sunni entities, right? With the Kurds and Turks as an additional wildcard.
At the very least, Assad's only allies right now are Russia and various Shia groups willing to work with the Alawites, specifically Hezbollah, various Iraqi Shia, and Iran....
- acqq 11y agoThe quote was about "destabilizing Syrian government" not simply "Syria." And the important point is: five years before the protests. U.S. happens to be the only remaining superpower, so others aren't that relevant, especially to understand why Obama insisted so long that "Assad must go" and why the "moderates" are "supported" or "trained." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpower https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpower
