Who Was Secretly Behind America\u2019s Invading and Occupying Syria?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

The invasion and occupation of Syria by tens of thousands of jihadists who were recruited from around the world to overthrow Syria\u2019s President Bashar al-Assad, was financed mainly by US taxpayers and by the world\u2019s wealthiest family, the Sauds, who own\u00a0Saudi\u00a0Arabia\u00a0and the world\u2019s largest oil company, Aramco. America\u2019s international oil companies and major\u00a0think tank<\/a>s<\/a> and\u00a0\u2018charitable\u2019 foundation<\/a>s<\/a> were also supportive and providing propaganda for the operation, but the main financing for it came from America\u2019s taxpayers, and from the Saud family and from the Government that they own.<\/p>\n

One of the best articles that the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0ever published was by Mark Mazzetti and Matt Apuzzo, on 23 January 2016,\u00a0“US Relies Heavily on Saudi Money to Support Syrian Rebels\u201d<\/a>. They reported that, “the C.I.A. and its Saudi counterpart have maintained an unusual arrangement for the rebel-training mission, which the Americans have code-named Timber Sycamore. Under the deal, current and former administration officials said, the Saudis contribute both weapons and large sums of money, and the C.I.A takes the lead in training the rebels. \u2026 From the moment the C.I.A. operation was started, Saudi money supported it.\u201d<\/em> Furthermore, “The White House has embraced the covert financing from\u00a0Saudi\u00a0Arabia\u00a0\u2014 and from Qatar, Jordan and Turkey.\u201d But “American officials said\u00a0Saudi\u00a0Arabia\u00a0was by far the largest contributor to the operation.\u201d The invasion and occupation of Syria by jihadists from around the world was primarily a Saud operation, though it was managed mainly by the US Government.<\/p>\n

Prior to the failed US-backed coup-attempt on 15 July 2015 to replace Tayyip Erdogan as Turkey\u2019s President, Turkey was part of the U.S-Saudi alliance to overthrow and replace Syria\u2019s Government. But afterwards, Turkey increasingly switched against the US and Sauds, and toward instead supporting the target of the Sauds and of America’s aristocrats: Syria.<\/p>\n
