US Backs Russian Deal Between Nations It Bombards
The New Arab reveals a potential Russian-brokered security agreement between Israel and Syria, allegedly backed by the US. This comes after years of US officials condemning both Russia's presence in Syria and the Syrian government itself. It seems the 'Assad must go' crowd is now quietly nodding along to a deal that reinforces his regime's stability, provided it aligns with American and Israeli
security interests. One might wonder if the US backing of this pact is less about regional peace and more about safeguarding Israel's northern border, conveniently sidestepping the US-imposed sanctions on Syria. After all, when has Washington ever let principles get in the way of strategic realpolitik, especially when it concerns its most generously subsidized ally? The hypocrisy is almost as rich
as the defense contracts involved.
