Turkey Normalizes Syria, West Now Demands 'Coordination'
Funny how geopolitical priorities shift, isn't it? For well over a decade, Western powers, including the US, have funded and armed various factions in Syria, effectively destabilizing the region and demanding regime change. Now, with Turkey establishing direct diplomatic ties and a UN-appointed body lifting sanctions, the narrative pivots to 'coordination.' One might ask, where was this spirit of
'coordination' when hundreds of thousands were dying and millions displaced, largely due to external interventions? This sudden interest in a 'unified approach' after 13 years of chaos isn't about Syrian stability; it's about managing the fallout from previous disastrous policies and safeguarding perceived national interests. It appears 'democracy' and 'human rights' are flexible concepts, easily
traded for 'stability' once the initial regime change attempts fail spectacularly. Remember when Assad was an 'illegitimate dictator' unfit for dialog? Apparently, time heals all diplomatic wounds, especially when new regional power dynamics demand it. The UN, of course, is just processing paperwork.
