Syria Becomes More Complicated to Western Countries – Political Gambling over ISIS Control

Syria is becoming severely complicated to Europe. This small country in ME is now burning to ashes. The situation is not recovering. A number of foreign powers are involved to tackle the Catch 22 situation in Syria. The brief-up is not simple but it requires people to do meticulous research before making decision. ISIS terrorists are not commoners. They killed numerous innocent civilians in Aleppo, Damascus and Douma. Assad is trying to suppress rebels. Russia, Iran and America are also found sending troops to Eastern Ghouta of Syria for removing ISIS militants. In the name of starting mission to handle terrorists, there is now gambling to endanger Syrian government. The recent preview on Douma is not hygienic to Syria. Will Assad be able to bring stability to his own country? What is solution given by Donald Trump regarding the chemical weapon usage in Douma?  It needs deeper analysis to track global big brothers who are concentrating on Syria.

Political Deadlock in Syria - Foreign Powers Involved to Fuel up Insurgency in Syria

For the last 7 years, Syria has been fighting to control rebels. Assad was threatened by his own dissidents.  He was denied access to many regions of Eastern Syria after the massive air strikes. ISIS wants to have full scale control over Damascus, Aleppo and other regions in Syria forcing Assad to backtrack home. On the other hand, Russia, and Iran are friends to Assad. Few years back, Putin rescued the Syrian President to overtake miseries. Overnight air raids and carpet bombardment on militancy outfits in high risk zones of Syria gave a long lasting cover to Assad from enemies. Russia was aggressive to smash ISIS outfits for pacification. However, in between, Kurds changed strategies to minimize the power of ISIS in Mosul. America, UK and Turkey reacted later. America observed the scenario in Syria and Iraq. Pentagon declared that Syrian president must grope for the most acceptable solution to end hostility as soon as possible. However, Donald Trump is not as simple as you think. He has the interests in Syria.  Over the Baltic regions, land possession game creates new battle field for Russia and America to test missiles.

Russia has its own military to expand supremacy over Black Sea denying the access of NATO allies. America watches the activities of KGB behind. Maybe, in Syria, America will prove its muscle power by deploying more sophisticated drones and missiles to tackle ISIS terrorists. Besides, Trump doesn’t support Syrian President over massacre in Douma.  Assad used chemical weapons to destruct the small town where 90 percent civilians are not obedient to him. Khan Sheikhoun was demolished by chemical weapons. 80 folks sacrificed lives when Assad battery powered mobile missiles to spray venom on the vast region.  France was not silent. If Assad is not educated, he must learn lesson of humanity. He is barbaric and traitor. Trump called him a wild animal whose basic instinct is to kill his own civilians. So, America, France and UK are obstructive to Assad. Syrian president has to sit for finding convenient strategies to save his own country.

Real Politik in Syria - Home Grown Insurgency Impacts Foreign Powers

The real- politik and tricksters are visible in Syria. Civil war in Deraa way back to 2011 reflects the failure of Assad’s government to solve problems of unemployment, immigration, refugee rehab and political deadlock for decades. Assad didn’t pay heed to interests of citizens of Deraaa and many remote provinces in Eastern region of Syria. ISIS entered into Syria because of escalating their power to reinforce self-defense system. ISIS disturbed Aleppo, Damascus and Raqqa in 2014. Syrian President had to borrow foreign power to wipe out rebels and ISIS agents. If the home grown insurgency is treated by outsiders, problem will not be solved.  It will reinforce the internal impasse in Syria. May Theresa, UK Prime Minister, has revealed her anger. She believes that Assad has no right to torture people. He can’t make a hatchery to spoon feed the germs of violence and racial profiling. He has to be self restraint with good wishes to materialize. Unifier is agreed with Theresa. US air strikes on Douma to ruin hidden chemical weapon facilities are criticized by Assad. It will brew up new political imbroglio and disturbance in Damascus.

The role of UNO is important to develop the existing discomfiture hovering in Syria. There are a number of militancy organizations in Syria. Hezbollah, ISIS and Kurds have different objectives.  Syria has to innovate its futuristic program to speed up the restoration of peace in the country.  Russia, America, UK, and Iran must not mobilize the destruction in jeopardizing Syrian President. Turkey has to build up its own home. 2 million refugees standing at the borderline are problematic. Turkey needs understanding with neighboring countries. Iran grows enmity with Saudi Arab and Israel. Tehran is aggressive to march for military expansion overlooking territories of its next doors. Iran can’t supply arms and ammunition to rebels to strengthen up ISIS force. 

Conclusion  

Lastly, Syrian troops have captured Deir al-Zour which is controlled by ISIS. It is a successful expedition. However, still many important areas are locked by this international militancy outfit. Syria has to review and evaluate political performance. The transition is a must to select the best gentleman to guide the nation for growth, prosperity and development.  Syrian must reduce the dependency on Russia and its allies. Damascus should be protected from external power. Assad has to be intelligent with patience to talk to dissidents and of course party members for pacification.
