He did not rule out that oil can be considered one of the factors in the outbreak of war in Syria.
“Do not forget that the United States is at war with the rest of the world. Here we are talking about tectonic shifts and “earthquakes”. Indeed, the old world order, established after the Second World War, has outlived itself, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The unipolar world model no longer works. A number of rising powers like Russia, China, India and others stand out, ”he said.
As the president noted, at the same time, “in the matter of world leadership, the United States does not want to recognize anyone as a partner” - even Great Britain, France and other large states.
“So, the US partners are not recognized and therefore are now fighting. The war in Syria is such a miniature model of the third world war, which is conducted indirectly, ”he added.
Assad previously stated that the problem with the United States is that, from their point of view, they are waging a war for survival. According to the president, Washington pursues such a policy because it is losing its hegemony.
