US Support Lets Global Terrorism Flourish

March 27th, 2017


Stephen Lendman

America created ISIS, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra and other terrorist groups. It maintains support for the scourge it claims to oppose.

Its so-called war on terrorism is a fabricated hoax. The way to defeat it isn’t by terror-bombing cities to rubble on the phony pretext of combating it.

It’s by ending support. Without it from America, NATO, Israel and other regional rogue states, these groups will wither and fade away.

Instead, they flourish because Washington uses them as imperial foot soldiers. Instead of cooperating with Russia in combating them, America and its rogue allies continue supplying them with weapons, munitions and other material support.

At her weekly press briefing, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova praised the constructive conflict resolution approach shown by Syria.

Opposition representatives aren’t cooperating, she explained, saying:

“We unfortunately must note - and this is obvious - that not all parties are pleased with the fact that the political process has restarted.”

“We regularly record attempts to stymie its progress through certain representatives of the opposition who are continuing to make all sorts of preconditions verging on ultimatums.”

“The militants are continuing to receive arms and ammunition, new members of criminal groups and, above all, funding from abroad.”

Zakharova blasted America, Britain and France for “refus(ing) to condemn the bloody terrorist attacks in Damascus (earlier) in March and the suppression of these events, as well as of the use of chemical agents by ISIS terrorists in Syria and Iraq…”

They reject “tak(ing) effective steps to confront the terrorist threat, which remains extremely high.”

“Clearly, not all parties want peace in Syria,” she stressed. Without naming names, she means America, Britain, France, Israel, other regional rogue states and terrorists they support.

She expressed outrage over new US sanctions on eight Russian companies for engaging in what the State Department calls “proliferation” activity with Iran, Syria and North Korea, saying:

“This step runs counter to the statements we hear from Washington that emphasize the fight against terrorism, in particular in Syria, where it has gained a foothold.”

“On the contrary, it is completely at odds with such declarations and undermines the prospects of setting up comprehensive multilateral cooperation to destroy Islamic State and other terrorist groups that pose a threat to all countries, including the US.”

Talks to resolve Syria’s conflict began in 2012. Multiple rounds in Geneva from then to now failed - no breakthroughs achieved, no face-to-face negotiations.

Ongoing Geneva IV and Astana, Kazakhstan talks remain stalemated. Syrian army-rebuffed attacks by US-supported terrorists trying to reach central Damascus aimed to undermine peace efforts.

Despite years of futility, chief Syrian negotiator Bashar al-Jaafari stressed his delegation will never cease working for resolving years of conflict diplomatically.

Yet he said continued “terrorist attacks…are pushing everybody towards a total failure and fiasco in the political and diplomatic process.”

He blasted the illegitimacy of US troops and terror-bombing in northern Syria, explaining government and allied forces, greatly aided by Russian airpower, alone are combating terrorism.

America’s “assault on Raqqa is unlawful if not coordinated with Damascus,” he stressed.

Washington wants Raqqa destroyed, not liberated, the same strategy employed in attacking Mosul.

Endless US wars continue in multiple theaters, Trump as committed to militarism and aggression as his predecessors.

Prospects for resolving conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere are dim. War profiteers want them continued endlessly.
