Boy is she dense. It never occurs to her that Turkey is putting on a dog and pony show for her. Send her to Germany to walk in the streets alone. After all they’re all “refugees”, right? Liberal celebrities who can’t get an acting gig just have to keep flapping their gums for attemtion. They can never get enough.

Our globalist media have sold western countries and many of their citizens a crock on Syria, faithfully toeing the anti-Assad line every time it seems necessary to keep the sad spectacle of the refugees going. The question is, why?

What was fundamentally so bad about the Assad government, compared to almost anything else that might replace it? Not that anything was really designed to replace it. Somewhere behind the scenes, powerful interests decided they would create a permanent state of war in Syria, Libya and if possible Iraq. They even tried to involve Egypt, which escaped. This gives a strong clue as to whose interests are being served. Basically, we could say it is the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s largely a religious exercise designed to force Allah’s hand and bring forward the timetable of their version of the end times. And they don’t care how many people have to die to get there.

A cynic might say there are other powerful interests who don’t mind all this carnage — arms dealers, nations who value instability in that part of the world, certain economic interests.

So Assad has to be marketed as a very bad man when in fact he was probably no worse than any other regional leader, and from his own perspective what he’s fighting is a coalition of traitors to the nation he rules. We would be treating “insurgents” and rebels exactly the same way in western countries, and on occasion, we have in the not so recent past.

All this can be resolved in only one way and that would be stronger support for Assad. Let him deal with these idiots from a position of strength. What’s the alternative? A series of weak, ineffective governments as with Libya, followed by a different version of the same war with no good options on the table.
