The elected
Syrian President Assad as officially told has to go just because some of its people, the so called moderate
rebels- probably paid by the US!- rise up against him, want him to resign which
made him, so the official story, stick to chemical weapons.
Iran, a
Syrian ally, friend and a Sunni country too next to Russia, which has an
important military base there in Latakia on the other hand support Syria.
All others,
the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia, that have problems with Iran, even Turkey and,
it seems as the rest of the world, however, wants him to resign.
The real
reason is not democracy -some armed and unmoderate rebels are not a majority anyway; imagine this for Germany for instance -and apart from that other theory of a planned new pipeline coming from new discovered huge oil filed sharing the states of Qatar
and Iran which, according to the US, should bypass Syria might be also, that maybe
as Israel wants to expand its territory towards north and already friend with
its enemies as Saudi Arabia, which, by the way, wants to include the richest
country in the world to its territory, namely Qatar.
Last but not least, simply,
as Assad is a friend of Russia and Iran, the selected enemy, he has to go.
These are the reasons why the West wants Baschar al-Assad to resign.
Nonetheless,
as Assad, with Russian invitation and intervention has won the game, the US is
standing towards the wall.
..leading to
American Provocations
Under
pressure in early summer 2017 and, among other provocations, after shooting
down an Iranian drone they shot down a Syrian fighter, giving a strange reason
as they were the ones helping ISIS and then, with two fighters, even approached
the airplane of the Russian defense secretary. On the July 7 there was then a
bomb blast within the Iranian parliament.
