Syria war: Trump 'ends CIA arms programme for rebels'

Must have been what Trump and Putin would have discussed at last weeks G20 meeting. A big win for Russia and Iran to maintain their sphere of influence in Syria and for Assad too. But it will leave the U.S allies in the Gulf and Israel very anxious. Im guessing a new multi billion dollar weapons and defence deal with Israel will be signed soon to reassure them that the U.S still has them as the Number one priority.

Trump might be the Gorbachev of USA at this rate luckily for Americans,corporates are very strong but Chinese is catching up.

At last this idiot has done something good.

Why doesn't he tell his brother Putin to stop arming the regime as well.

No matter what happens many more will die in Syria. A clear example of how Syrians are victims of the superpowers' foreign policies. The silly orange knows the situation well and would still reject Syrian refugees who would assimilate far easier than certain other nationalities they let in.

From what I hear in Canada,that's not the truth,also which other nationalities are you talking about that don't assimilate?

What you have you heard in Canada?

I've visited the Syrian capital Damascus, it was definitely liberal and was the most hospitable city in the entire Middle East. Syrians and Christians often visited the same mosques, Yahya(John the Baptist) is said to be buried there and a mosque has been built around his tomb. You couldn't tell most of the times who was Muslim, Christian or otherwise. I met with European Christian tourists at this mosque and they were well received and enjoyed learning about the culture. If you look at how Syrians have preserved non-Muslim archaeological digs and generally co-existed with people of other religions, it's a stark contrast to what we see today. The Syrian refugees are those who've rejected Daesh and seek to move elsewhere until they're able to return to their country.

If you're an honest man and have any semblance of integrity you yourself will know of which nationalities assimilate less, within the context of this thread, of course.

Fair enough about Syrians,no idea about what honesty is to do with me knowing about the nationalities that assimilate well.

Where?

[MENTION=23613]90MPH[/MENTION] im guessing Trump would rather deal with a dictatorship that answers to Moscow than a rebel govt who their own backers cant really control n a syria which the regime controls while repressive would bring back some law n order to syria n reduce the syrian migration levels n a lot of syrian refugees in the west would return home if the war is over. just anything to stop the war carrying on im guessing

Trump doesn't really care about Syria or ending the war.

For some reason he either owes Putin something or wants to imrpove relations with Russia for some Other reason.

Definitely there is something going on because we already know about all the hacking into the American elections by Russian operatives.

Russia, Iran and Assad have played a blinder in Syria since the end of 2015 when the Russians involved themselves fully. Sure there are no good guys in this conflict and all parties have blood on their hands but I would rather see the Russia/Iran/Syria nexus come out on top in this conflict because the alternative is just more blood and chaos sponsored by America, Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Rebels? Terrorists should be the term if people want to remain consistent.

The so called Rebels have pretty much lost now, there is nobody to arm anymore. Hardly a breakthrough in policy.

 

[Adil_94]

[MENTION=7898]Gabbar Singh[/MENTION] agreed there are no good guya but Assad is a lesser evil than the rebels which for the last 3 years have been straight up terrorist groups affiliated with al qaeda and the moderate opposition that was initially there in 2011 has been pretty much destroyed or fighters defected to the more well.financed radical groups bar the SDF led by the Kurds which has its own issues.

just hope that once IS is defeated in Raqqa that the war can finally be declared over and Syrians can return home and help rebuild their country.

Assad also does have a lot of support still especially from minorities like Christians and Shias and a lot of Sunnis especially the ones from the bigger cities support him over the rebels.
