7 - Syria's terrorist dictatorship welcomed back

0:00Syria's terroristic tater ship welcomed back into the Anglo-American financial fold. By alert staff. In the 27th of August video post, Syrian President Ahmed Alsharah made a show of paying for coffee, shared with the head of the country's central bank, with a gold visa card. This was to celebrate Washington lifting the crushing sanctions that helped to overthrow the previous government. A post made by an official government account declared that, for more than 15 years, this simple transaction was impossible. A symbol of Western financial power, the visa card, and a gold one no less, in the hands of a victorious jihadist terrorist, says everything there is to say about the morality of the Anglo-American Empire. Before Shira, Syria was a secular multi-faith country, in which women and minorities had equal rights. But because its President Bashar Alassad resisted the US UK's railing neo-conservatives plan to overthrow multiple Middle Eastern governments, he became a target of first the so-called Arab Spring

The direct assault on Syria didn't succeed in overthrowing Assad, but years of crushing sanctions eventually did. The USA didn't lift its sanctions until ahead installed the former commander of ISIS and al-Qaeda, not as an elected President, in keeping with US moralizing about so-called democracy, but as the new dictator of Syria. A weapon that targets innocents. Sancions are a weapon of economic warfare that makes innocent people pay for the alleged crimes of the targeted government. After the US Congress passed the Caesar-Siria Civilian Protection Act of 2019, medicines were unavailable and bread lines appeared. An investigation conducted by the Syrian military public prosecution reported that the sanctions and occupation became a major factor of instability, impeding political settlement of the crisis. The north of the country, a bread

In the wake of a devastating earthquake that struck southern Turkey and northern Syria on the 6th of February, 2023, the USA and EU refused assistance, and illegal US sanctions prevented state institutions from intervening effectively, blocking physical and financial assistance from other nations from reaching the country. The USA went further, passing the Assad regime anti-normalization Act 2023, which expanded on the Caesar sanctions by punishing any nation that came to the assistance of the Syrian people, and a society already crippled by 12 years of war and devastation of essential infrastructure. The war had destroyed infrastructure, and there was a cholera outbreak, which made dealing with the impact of the earthquake far worse. Independent journalist Eva Bartlett wrote in RT at the time that even before the earthquake, quote, Syrian struggle to get

The sanctions, she said, led to the unimaginable suffering misfortune and death of innocent people, the weapon of sanctions only hurts the people. End quote. On 7 February, 2023, former US legislator Colonel Richard Black, a former Marine and Army J.A.G. officer, who had headed the Army's criminal division at the Pentagon, and vocal opponent of the attempted US regime change in Syria, said, quote, it was in 2020 that the United States imposed the Syria sanctions. Out of anger at the fact that Syria had driven back the ISIS and al-Qaeda terrorists, that the United States had supported, and was trying to overwhelm the government with. So now the State Department looks at this as an opportunity to simply ratchet up the regime of starvation and freezing, that we have imposed on Syria through the cruel Caesar sanctions. End quote.

Unilaterally imposed sanctions are a legal period.
