I dont like him either but for now he remains the only soloution to stablization in syria with iranian russian presence can be diverted later on. I dont understand his affliation to iran and avoidance of iraq.I am talking about the Iraq-Iran war. Syria, a Ba'athi ruled Arab state and supposed Arab nationalist ruled state, supported a non-Arab, non-secular Mullah-ruled Iran over an Arab neighbor in Iraq. How do you explain this? This is one of the reasons why I wrote incompetence. Or Gaddafi supporting a non-Arab Iran over Iraq. How do you explain such policies by secular Arab nationalists like Gaddafi and Hafiz Al-Assad? Even Egypt had problems with Gaddafi if I recall.
Kuwait invasion happened in 1991. Not related to what I wrote.
Saudi Arabia/Gulf (outside of Qatar) stopped any kind of support to Syrian opposition groups in 2016 when they realized that it was a MB project backed by Erdogan. In their eyes at least. Bashar al-Assad helped destroy Syria, I am afraid, just to stay in power. He should have stepped aside like Mubarak did in Egypt peacefully. This would have saved Syria. Now he helped destroy Syria and on top of that he invited foreigners (Russia and Iran) that now help keep him alive.
I don't think that the Gulf will ever trust him again. The Gulf, from what I have read, were warning Assad of implementing reforms, of the impending drought etc. He never reacted. This is the same Al-Assad regime that once occupied Lebanon for 20 + years.
Bashar al-Assad is the main culprit here.
Gaddafi had anger issues started a war with Egypt and retreated. He cant be a leader. Relations were restored quickly
I dont think it wouldve done anythingI was talking about the same level participation as Egypt,Syria,Jordan,Lebanon etc. Of course that's not realistic,but since1948,Palestine has become the cause of the Arabs. Sometimes I wonder if the whole Gulf community had gone to war,if it would have helped turned the tide of war.
