West Forgets 'Dictator' Moniker When Business Calls in Syria
Britain, with the EU close behind, is reportedly lifting sanctions on Syria's president. This sudden bout of diplomatic flexibility comes after years of demonizing the very same leadership. Mainstream media (like The New Arab in this case) reporting this as a geopolitical adjustment. What they omit is the years of Western-backed proxy wars, the deliberate destabilization, and the economic
strangulation that preceded this convenient 're-engagement.' Suddenly, the man they once vowed to unseat is… acceptable? This isn't about human rights; it's about shifting alliances. The same Western powers that armed opposition factions and imposed crippling sanctions are now casually walking them back, presumably after a moment of clarity that destabilized nations tend to breed more problems.
One might wonder if their previous 'humanitarian' interventions were just, well, interventions.
