President Biden is trying to somehow convince us that his Middle East policies brought about the coup against Bashar al-Asad.
But it’s not working…
President Joe Biden delivered remarks on the situation in Syria, highlighting the fall of the Assad regime as a “fundamental act of justice” after decades of repression, while acknowledging it as a moment of “risk and uncertainty” for the region. Biden emphasized that the U.S. and its allies have significantly weakened the support structures for Assad, including Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah, shifting the balance of power in the Middle East. He stated the U.S. intends to maintain its military presence in Syria, particularly to prevent the resurgence of ISIS, with recent air strikes conducted against their targets. Biden also called for a transition to an “independent, sovereign Syria” and stressed the importance of evaluating opposition fighters based on their actions and words. He assured support for a new government and constitution, aiming to seize this opportunity for a better future in Syria, while also ensuring the safety of Syria’s neighbors from any resulting tensions.
