I was thinking that it was engineered because Assad refused to allow Qatar South Par gas pipelines from criss crossing his country on its way to Europe. The arreas occupied by ISIS terror group in Iraq and Syria were actually areas meant for South Par gas pipelines. South Par gas would have freed Europe from Russia energy dependency.
- wheelerof4te 5y agoYes, this is the real reason for the war. Had Assad accepted the proposal, he would be hailed in the MS media as a hero and a great leader who turned his country into a desert oasis. Of course, this would have isolated and aggrovated Russia further, and Assad knew that. Nevermind that Syria is within range of Russia's missiles. He also knew what became of Sadam Housein (once an ally to the US) once he was of no use to the West. In any case, causing a civil war inside a country just to punish a leader for making calculated, reasonable choice is criminal and evil.
