EU Leaders Pledge Syria Aid After Years of EU Sanctions
In a stunning display of diplomatic amnesia, EU leaders descended upon Syria, promising aid for 'recovery' after years of civil war. (Source: ABC News). What the mainstream media forgets to mention, or perhaps chooses to omit, is the EU's self-inflicted role in Syria's devastation, with crippling sanctions that exacerbated humanitarian crises and actively hindered any chance of recovery. One might
call it setting a house on fire and then, years later, offering to chip in for a new smoke detector. This sudden altruism isn't just baffling; it raises questions about the definition of 'aid' when the architects of suffering then play saviors. It's almost as if the 'recovery' only becomes a priority once the geopolitical chessboard rearranges itself, making forgotten nations suddenly valuable
partners. How many years of collective punishment must a population endure before their 'recovery' becomes politically expedient?
