UK 'Forgets' Assad's Sins For 'Stability' Again
According to RT, the UK has lifted sanctions on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, citing a UN decision ahead of his supposed visit to the US. This is the same Assad whose regime has been extensively documented by the UN and human rights organizations for using chemical weapons against his own people and orchestrating mass atrocities. But now, it appears, the 'rules-based international order' has a
'temporary pause' function when inconvenient leaders are deemed useful once more. One might wonder if this sudden diplomatic pivot is less about 'stability' and more about the ever-shifting sands of Western interests. The pattern is depressingly familiar: demonize a leader, enforce crippling sanctions, then quietly rehabilitate them when regional dynamics demand a 'partner,' regardless of their
bloody past. How many times will the UK and its allies reinvent their moral compass to accommodate geopolitical necessity?
