Kassioun Editorial 1187: Syria, on a Hot Plate and a Historic Opportunity!

The past heavy months have proven what Kassioun had said about two months after October 7, in its editorial titled “Beyond Gaza”. We said there: “The time frame for the American plan to detonate the entire region is not limited to weeks or months, but actually requires several years. The war on Gaza and Palestine, within this plan, is not the final goal, but rather a tool to increase the temperature and increase the contradictions in the entire region to facilitate reaching the goal: comprehensive chaos”.

The American desire to prolong the war in Palestine is colliding with two hard walls. Neither the set goals have been achieved, nor is maintaining the circle of fire and preventing its expansion guaranteed. What this contradiction produces between the American desire to prolong the war to serve the ignition of comprehensive hybrid chaos based on strengthening and detonating internal rifts, and the daily rise in escalation that threatens to move to direct, open confrontations with the Zionist entity and with the Americans that fundamentally contradict the chaos plan according to the American vision, leads to a direct result, which is narrowing the time frames available to the Americans to “arrange” the region within the chaos plan.

This leads to what we see of an acceleration in the escalation of the situation inside and around Egypt, Lebanon, and other countries in the hope of reaching a comprehensive internal explosion as soon as possible. It also explains the acceleration we see in working under the table regarding Syria, within the slogan of “changing the regime’s behavior” and within the “step for step” plan.

In this particular context, the feverish American effort to obstruct, hinder, and delay the Syrian-Turkish settlement under the auspices of Astana, with the support of China and the open support of both Egypt and Saudi Arabia (which Kassioun has always talked about as being an objective part of the push towards this settlement, long before either of the two countries announced their desire to support this path, as happened recently), is also evident. The extent of the Russian, Iranian, and even Turkish insistence on pursuing this settlement to the end, that is, until the implementation of UNSC Resolution 2254, is also evident.

The meaning of the non-paper presented by eight European countries also appears, which would not have been issued without an American operational order, the ultimate goal of which is to confirm the de facto division of Syria, and even attempt to legitimize it.

Likewise, the behavior of some of the Syrian opposition, which has decided to throw itself completely into the West’s arms, is becoming more apparent, just like the warlords and extremists on the other side. This includes cheering on the step-for-step issue, and trying to invent implementation mechanisms for it, including, but not limited to, the idea of ​​the “military council”.

Time is not only tight for the Americans, but it is perhaps tighter for us as Syrians. In addition to the collapse and free fall that the country and its people are experiencing, half of whom, perhaps more, are now outside it, a new regional system is now forming, and the elites in the regime and the opposition, who are clinging to the wind ropes of the West, are not only threatening their fate, but also threatening the fate of Syria itself, and ruining for Syria and the Syrians the opportunity for a strong new birth that is still possible, and its path is clear and there is no other path: “Only 2254 and Nothing Else... In Its Entirety and Now!”
