his is a comment from the website to the article titled “SBY questions UN’s efforts” published on July 20.

It all started as an internal rebellion against the Assad government, in which Western countries showed no interest in becoming involved. In October 2011, the so-called FSB countries (France, the United States and Britain) wanted to get involved as they began to witness their waning influence in the Arab world. So, weapons started to flow from these countries into Turkey and then into Syria.

The upheaval that began as purely an internal Syrian matter has become a bloody war that has not yet ended. How can Kofi Annan’s plan work if these foreign countries are feeding weapons into the country?

So far, Western news sources have conveyed only a distorted message that China and Russia were unwilling to help solve the Syrian bloodbath.

The reality is that these two UN member states do not support military intervention, which could exacerbate the violence.

If the FSB had not sold their weapons to Syrian rebels, there would not have been such an outbreak in the first place. On the surface, they wanted to show support for Kofi Annan, yet on the other hand, they sabotaged it in a typical Western double standard. The FSB have paid no respect to the principle of not meddling in other countries’ internal affairs.

It seems that the US will single-handedly send in its mercenaries anyway. After that, Syria will become just another Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.

Unless and until the whole world succumbs to this imperialist country, they won’t stop trying to conquer everyone.
