The United States is backing anti-Christian ‘rebel’ groups fighting to depose Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. As JD Vance once asked, ‘Why can’t we stop genociding Christians?’ The answer is power. And that power has a lot to do with natural gas.
The long war in Syria which has recently resumed is not only about the fate of the Christians in that troubled nation, nor about a new migrant wave which would follow its collapse.

It is certainly not about freedom. The incursion of Turkey in the north, and the resurgence of Western-backed takfiri terrorists from Idlib are signs of a Great Game being played whose resolution may redraw the map of world power.
As we shall see, whoever backs Bashar al-Assad will have the keys to the future. If you think that is a surprising conclusion given the news, that is because the news is part of the campaign.
The main “sides” in this war:
Assad: Syrian Arab Armed Forces
Allied: Russian Air Force, Hezbollah, Iran and its Iraqi militia
Versus:
Turkey: Syrian National Army, United States, Israel: “HTS” (Hay’at Tarir al-Sham) – former Al-Qaeda, ISIS, al-Nusra “rebels.”
In brief, the U.S., Turkey, and Israel support Islamic terrorists to topple Assad, as they have armed and used terrorists such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS in the past to advance their political agendas.
Assad has been left exposed by his presumed Russian and Iranian allies, who are now rushing to his aid – since the operation to oust him has failed.
Both the U.S. and the Russians wanted Assad gone, to be replaced by someone they could control. Instead, Assad has outplayed them all – and now whoever wants to win has to back him.
Moves are being made by both sides to do precisely this, right now. Here’s why.
‘Moderate rebels’
Arch neocon William “Bill” Kristol has described the “anti-Assad fighters” as a force for freedom in Syria which the U.S. should back to the hilt – as it has before.
I hope the Biden Administration is doing everything it can to help the anti-Assad fighters in Syria, the anti-Putin democrats in Georgia, the pro-freedom forces in Iran, and of course the brave Ukrainian people.

In fact, these “rebels” are the renamed “Al-Nusra Front.” You may also know them by their stage names of “ISIS/Da’Esh” or “Al-Qaeda.” They are now called “HTS.” They are labeled a terrorist group by the U.K., whose media is now presenting them once again as moderate rebels.
