US President Donald Trump hosted Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on the White Home this week. The 12 months 2025 has definitely been an attention-grabbing one. In Might, the USA introduced it will raise sanctions on Syria after Trump’s historic assembly with Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former Sunni jihadist and identified terrorist. Now, Al Qaeda is shaking fingers with the president of the USA within the Oval Workplace because the US goals to revenue from its investments in Syria.
Trump agreed to droop sanctions on Syria for 180 days and supplied Syria a spot within the International Coalition to Defeat ISIS. Syria is dedicated to persevering with to battle ISIS, and extra importantly, lowering Russian and Iranian affect within the nation. Syria mentioned it’ll destroy all remaining drug stockpiles and chemical weapons from the Assad regime. Al-Sharaa is open to permitting the US to open an air base close to Damascus. Relations have warmed to the purpose the place the US might take away Syria from its black itemizing as a State Sponsor of Terrorism.
Now, the present Syrian president had a $10 million bounty on him previous to his sudden assembly with the POTUS in Might. America captured Ahmed al-Sharaa whereas he was preventing for Al Qaeda in Iraq for over half a decade. He was a strong high-level terrorist within the group who secured huge energy and affect. Then the US merely launched him, or so we’re informed. The reality of the matter is that he was nearly definitely compromised and became a CIA asset throughout this time interval.
Syria has an estimated 2.5 billion in confirmed oil reserves, in accordance with the US Vitality Info Administration. Pre-war, Syria was producing 385,000 barrels of oil day by day, however that slowed drastically to 24,000 to 34,000 per day from 2019 to 2025. At current, Syria has been producing 110,000 barrels per day, with 100,000 barrels from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and solely 10,000 from the brand new administration. That is removed from a restoration because the nation wants about 150,000 bpd to satisfy demand domestically.
Russia intervened in Syria again in 2015 on the steering of Assad. Russia’s 49-year relationship with the Assad authorities has come to an finish, and together with it, its stronghold in Syria. Syrians have been important of Russian forces within the area and blame them for quite a few civilian casualties, demanding reparations. Syria shouldn’t be about humanitarian issues. It’s about power routes and Russian affect within the area. Washington had been attempting to take away Assad for years as a result of he refused to permit the Qatari fuel pipeline that will have undermined Russia’s dominance in supplying fuel to Europe. That is what the neocons by no means inform you. They need conflict—plain and easy—as a result of it traces their pockets and advances their ideological dream of reshaping the world of their picture.
Obama and the CIA funded opposing radical teams to topple the federal government, however it backfired and gave rise to ISIS. We now have the declassified paperwork from 2012 that present the US intelligence neighborhood knew this might occur and did it anyway. Ahmed al-Sharaa is precisely who the West wanted to put in an interim puppet authorities and pressure their method into Syria.
America now owns Syria by means of its ties to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey. Extra importantly, the interim authorities has been freshly established with a brand new Structure promising variety and a change from Sharia legislation to appease the West, though the president is a identified jihadist terrorist who was captured by American troops and launched with a purpose to overthrow Syria’s final regime. All of this was deliberate out way back.
