Syrian 'Clashes' Sparked by Mosque? Or Another Proxy War?
The report breathlessly covers 'deadly clashes' in Syria, triggered by a 'mosque explosion' and subsequent protests. What it conspicuously fails to mention is that Syria has been a geopolitical chessboard since 2011, with numerous external actors, including the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, funding, arming, and strategizing to destabilize the Assad regime. Remember how the US spent
billions arming 'moderate rebels' who often ended up sharing resources, or even territory, with extremist groups like Al-Qaeda affiliates? So, a 'mosque explosion' sparking unrest? One might wonder how many such 'spontaneous' events have conveniently served larger geopolitical ambitions over the years. The framing avoids any interrogation of the chronic foreign interference that has fueled
precisely this kind of violence for over a decade. It's not just 'clashes'; it's the predictable, tragic outcome of externally engineered destabilization campaigns, repackaged as local discontent.
