America’s successful Syrian regime change incurring expected outcome: dead Alawites

Islamist jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS) led by wanted terrorist Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, booted Bashar Assad out of Syria 3 months ago. In spite of their terrorist origins and history, the US supported HTS and other jihadist forces for 13 years in its deranged regime change operation to topple Assad.

Why? Because the US could. Also because Israel and its US Lobby endlessly demanded we remove Assad who represented a decade’s long impediment to expanding their regional hegemony.

When Jolani took power, even President Biden pondered his violent history, but applauded another notch on Uncle Sam’s regime change belt.

So it should be no surprise to America’s national security establishment (war party) that their ghoulish lust to overturn Assad is wreaking havoc on Assad’s fellow Alawites still stuck in Syria after he escaped peacefully to Russia. Reports from Alawite governances in northwest Syria report over 1,300 men, women and kiddies slaughtered. Curfews have been imposed and roads closed to prevent escape from the HTS marauders. According to HTS, all the victims were former enemies aligned with Assad. Right.

America’s 13 year effort fueling the resistance to Assad may have increased the death toll in the Syrian civil war by tens, if not hundreds of thousands. Yet, by successfully keeping the civil war destroying Syria going till victory, America has merely set the table for tens, if not hundreds more thousands of deaths in that sorrowful land.
