Berlin Welcomes Syrian Leader for Deportation Talks, Forgets 'Regime Change' History
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa's visit to Berlin, according to Al-Monitor, centers on Germany's desire to accelerate deportations of Syrians. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will host Sharaa. While Europe grapples with a migrant crisis, the fact that Syria's current 'unstable' state—the justification for not returning people—is heavily influenced by a decade of Western-backed 'regime
change' efforts and proxy wars often gets lost in translation. One might recall the billions quietly funneled into Syrian opposition groups, some with dubious allegiances, creating precisely the instability Europe now laments. It appears the 'humanitarian crisis' only begins when the refugees arrive on European shores, not when the bombs fall on their homes. The cycle is complete: help destabilize
a region, then complain about the refugees, and finally, negotiate with the very leaders you once sought to overthrow for their convenient removal. This is not diplomacy; it's international amnesia for domestic political points. The 'unease about continued instability' is merely the lingering echo of past interventions, now inconveniently boomerang-ed.
