‘Syrian rebels’ aim dictatorship, not democracy ‘


Washington’s double standard approach is evident in the Syrian crisis. It supports the armed opposition, which wants to turn the country into a dictatorship, claiming that their war against the Assad government has democracy as the goal, Aleksey Pushkov, the chair of the Russian parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, told RT.

    Truth is…we are all going to get fucked over Syria. Both Russia and the West.

    When Assad falls, Russia will loose a key ally in the region.
    The power vacuum will be filled by radical political parties, which will then serve further destabilize an already vulnerable region.
    For the West, Syria will go from a country ruled by a nutcase we particularly didn’t like, but for the most part behaved himself. To “Oh crap”.

    It’s has been spring in the Arab world, but a winter for the rest of us.

    I doubt that any american without a PhD in political science and international affairs would fully understand what this guy is saying (so americans, skip to the next video)…intelligent analysis.

    To be technical you make it sound like Obama is the antichrist. There is only two “Ruler of nations” mentioned in the bible. The Antichrist and Jesus, and since nobody has been resurrected, I have to assume, through your religion, that you mean Obama is the antichrist. There is no other outcome according to your beliefs.

    I was once of your religion/people. But some philosophical differences have caused me to seperate and find my own path.

    ليبيا: الرهان هادئ، ولكن سمعت الآن في القاهرة وتونس، هو أن تكون في وضع أفضل قيادة الاتحاد النيجيري ليبرالية وعلمانية في التركيز على الإنعاش الاقتصادي، لم يكن لسبب آخر غير التزامه الفلسفي والسياسي لحكم القانون الديمقراطي سوف جذب الاستثمار الطويل الأجل الدولية.

    Libya: The quiet bet, but one now heard in Cairo and Tunis, is that the NFA’s liberal and secular leadership is better positioned to concentrate on economic revitalization, if for no other reason than its philosophical and political commitment to the democratic rule of law will attract long-term international investment.

  9. LTPaiulellA says:

    The more anxious anticipators warned of Islamist regional hegemony. Now fret has turned to surprise and praise: a secular political party has triumphed in an Arab Muslim national election.

    حذر anticipators اكثر قلقا من الهيمنة الإقليمية الاسلامية. الآن تحولت إلى مفاجأة الحنق والثناء: حزب سياسي علماني، فقد انتصرت في الانتخابات القومي العربي مسلم.

  10. SpaceCommune says:

    The “rebels” ( terrorists ) don’t want a “ceasefire” or negotiations..They want to eliminate Assad and establish a sharia / Islamic dictatorship. These so called “freedom fighters” are the same Islamic radicals supported by the CIA / NATO in Libya.

    A veteran Beirut-based diplomat agreed: “The Alawite issue in the transition needs to be addressed in a very clear way. There has been nothing done by anyone, ourselves included, to give them the comfort they need. The Christians as well, for that matter.”

  12. LTPaiulellA says:

    Bashar al-Assad is finished — that is a given. But 40 years under a corrupt regime that ruled by fear has left a dangerous vacuum

  13. LTPaiulellA says:

    Where is the proof that opposition to Assad wants a dictatorship, where is the proof that Assad support democracy? The government of the day has the power to bring a ceasefire.
    Why doesn’t Assad do this?
    أين هو الدليل على أن المعارضة لديكتاتورية الأسد يريد، أين هو الدليل على أن دعم الديمقراطية الأسد؟ الحكومة اليوم لديه القدرة على تحقيق وقف لاطلاق النار. لماذا لا تفعل هذا الأسد؟

  14. LTPaiulellA says:

    Who can you trust. Assad is butchering innocent civilians and some rebels are taking the law into their own hands. Those people who are condemning whole nations e.g US Israel, Uk
    are talking rubbish. It is illogical. I have friends who are muslim, israeli, hindu etc.

    What people have what kind of government。 the people have not change,the government also have not change. such as 1911,we overthrow the motherfucker manchu pig tail Qing dynasty and built the first usa-style democracy regime in asia. but at that time the reality was Governments are weak and incompetent corruption,the confused fighting between the warlords,just similar to today Afghanistan。japs beast use the chance Continuous aggression against China,usa even sold oil and steel to japs.

    Dictators die or get deposed. A fact of life. The sooner, the better.

    I think it is Putin that has a plan for dictatorship for Russia.

  18. MrDejanp7 says:

    No, it is not C.I.A., it is the “Korean Communists Special Forces”. They know nothing about democracy, they just want to get rid of “white trash — they call Westerners”. Unfortunatelly, the C.I.A. does not understand the “Asian mindset”. STOP ASIANS, STOP KOREANS!!

    you don’t have to share my religion to see that it makes sense, or be religious to see the injustices of the moslem brotherhood. Do you know much about my religion or my people panthiest

  20. abesabbagh says:

    It could become an Islamist theocratic dictatorship, that bends over to US and Israel.

  21. leenayabooh says:

    When Bashar, the thief who stole the freedom of the Syrian people in a rigged election, claims that he got 97.62% approval and close to 96% voted and no Syrian inside Syria could say ‘this is a lie’ or even ‘the results are doubtful’ without being killed … It is difficult to imagine a darker period in the history of Syria for more than a thousand year. The uprising was peaceful demonstrations. Assad wants to turn it into a secterian armed one.

    Dictators die or get deposed. Get used to it.
