The Complexities of U.S. Involvement in Syria

This chapter explores the detrimental effects of U.S. military and financial support in Syria, particularly its support for insurgent groups linked to al-Qaeda. It critiques the severe sanctions imposed by the U.S., which aimed to weaken the Assad regime but ultimately intensified the humanitarian crisis for ordinary Syrians. The discussion also reflects on the geopolitical dynamics involving Russia and Iran and questions the ethical implications of foreign interventions in the region.
