Daily Telegraph: West fell on the Syrian exam

LONDON (Reuters) - The West failed in Syria, which returned to square one after nearly eight years of civil war that originally erupted to topple the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, the British Telegraph newspaper reported.

In the opinion of the conservative-leaning newspaper, the West fell in his hand after the Iranians and Russians offered to "fill the vacuum" in Syria just as did the "Sunni extremists."

The fighting for democracy in that Arab country has developed into a war against "radical Islamic" movements, while the West has held a truce with Assad.

The newspaper notes that US President Donald Trump has begun withdrawing from Syria, while it is reported that the Kurds have abandoned key areas under their control in favor of the Damascus regime before the Turks seized it.

Organization of the State
Assad is still in power in his country after he has stood up to the rebels defying the West and winning the gamble of the civil war.

She adds that the Assad family still has a "bloodthirsty dictatorship and a direct cause of many tensions in the region," noting that extremists are "free because Assad was released in the hope that they would kill Western troops in Iraq."

Telegraph goes on to claim that Trump used military force against Assad in defense of a "red line" against the use of chemical weapons, but the president's long-term goal is to "withdraw."

Trump's aim behind this withdrawal is to support the position of local forces to enable them to oversee the monitoring of their areas.

The quagmire of chaos
She added that this may explain the movements of some to welcome the return of Assad to the bosom of the Arab League, and Trump to inform his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan that "absolute hand to clean the area of ​​the remnants of fighters of the Islamic State Organization."

From the paper's point of view, Trump favors a "strong regional Sunni alliance."

And believes that the leadership of the United States, and not the rest of the Western coalition countries only to follow them because it is not in a situation that makes it "really follow the saying."

If Syria falls into a quagmire again, Telegraph says, it will be Europe that will face the burden of tackling another immigrant crisis, so it is at stake to ensure that such a thing does not happen again.

In a hint of dragging the region, the paper stressed that more countries should bear part of the burden of defending the West on the pretext that "vigilance is required in the presence of Assad."
