US prioritizes regime change in Syria over Daesh fight: Analyst
The Daesh Takfiri terrorists in Syria have suffered major setbacks over the past few months as the Syrian army, backed by Russian air power, has managed to wrest control over several important areas across the country. However, the US-led coalition airstrikes have on numerous occasions hampered counter-terrorism operations by Syrian armed forces.
The United States and its regional allies have prioritized “regime change” in Syria over their professed commitment to fighting the Daesh terrorists, says an international lawyer.
“Let’s be clear about this. The opposing agenda that is the one that opposes Russia and Syria is one which prioritizes regime change over fighting terrorism and therefore which distinguishes good terrorists from bad terrorists,” Barry Grossman told Press TV.
“This has led to the absurd situation which the world largely overlooks the fact that the Syria conflict is not a civil war, so much as a carefully engineered conflict imposed on Syria by foreign nations,” he added.
He also stated the people who had genuine grounds for complaint about the Syrian government are certainly not the ones who are taking up arms in order to carry out a foreign agenda as proxies for countries like the United States.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Grossman noted the United States essentially sees the northwestern city of Aleppo as the “key” to achieving regime change in Syria.
He is of the opinion that Washington is creating a safe passage from the strategic city of Mosul for the Daesh terrorists in Iraq to come into Syria and finish the job the US always expected them to do.
According to the analyst, it is “perfectly reasonable” for Syria and Russia to let civilians leave east Aleppo in order to finish the campaign once and for all for the benefit of all Syrians.
Since March 2011, Syria has been hit by militancy it blames on some Western states and their regional allies. More than 400,000 people have been killed in the conflict, according to an estimate by UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura.
