US waging brutal war on Syria, which must be stopped: Former senator
2021-03-30
[PRESSTV] A former US senator says the United States supports terrorist organizations in their plots against the government in Damascus and the Syrian people, stressing that Washington should put an end to its "cruel and barbaric" war in the Arab country. Richard Black made the comments in an international conference held by Schiller Institute in Washington DC, as part of a speech on "The US aggressiveness, the terrorist war on Syria, and role of the US and NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
in that."

Black reaffirmed that the US administration supports terrorist organizations to destroy Syria and steal the Arab country’s wealth, and it imposes sanctions to deprive the Syrian people of the basic necessities of life, stressing the need to stop "this madness."

"I am astonished by the outrageous US aggression against Syria," Black said.

"It is important to acknowledge after ten years of war that the West loves snuffies whom the Syrian people hate."

The former US senator underlined that Washington is not fighting a war on terror as it claims, but rather it is closely allied with snuffies such as al-Qaeda terrorist group to implement its political and exploitative agendas.

"The American forces invaded in 2015 illegally northern Syria and seized the Syrian oil. An American oil company was authorized to build a refinery at a cost of USD 150 million and to explore for more oil on the sovereign Syrian land," Black said. "The United States stole the wealth of these people, leaving the Syrians to freeze in the winter while we steal their fuel."

Black added, "The same area in the north is Syria’s bread basket, and this was also stolen. We gave it to the mercenaries who ship Syrian wheat to Ottoman Turkish merchants while the Syrians are starving."
