Trump: Turkey was behind the Assad regime’s downfall

12/18/2024 / By Belle Carter

Trump accuses Turkey of being the driving force behind Assad’s downfall in Syria, claiming it’s a covert mission by the NATO member state to challenge Assad’s regime.
The claim highlights Turkey’s significant influence in the region, its actions in Syria, and the complex historical relationship between Turkey and Syria.
Trump’s accusation could have significant geopolitical implications, potentially straining NATO relations and highlighting the alliance’s limitations.
The situation is complicated by the conflicting views of Trump’s critics and supporters regarding his foreign policy and its impact on international discussions and diplomacy.
Trump also issues a stern warning to Hamas, threatening “all hell to pay” if 250 Israeli hostages in Gaza are not released before his inauguration.

President-elect Donald Trump has dropped a bombshell on the world stage, saying that it is none other than Turkey – America’s purported NATO ally – that is to blame for the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria. The incendiary tweet has ignited another firestorm of controversy, with many left scratching their heads and others nodding in agreement with the President’s unorthodox analysis.

While NATO members like to present a united front, the truth is far more complex and messy. Trump, with his penchant for revealing hidden truths, has decided to peel back the layers of this geopolitical onion. According to his latest claims, Turkey’s covert machinations have been the driving force behind the crumbling of Assad’s grip on power in Syria.

Why Turkey, among all the other regional powers, would be singled out by Trump comes down to a few key points. First and foremost, Turkey has been a prominent player in the region for decades. As a member of NATO, it enjoys the backing of a global military alliance, which gives it a level of impunity that other countries in the region lack. Under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s leadership, Turkey has frequently pushed the boundaries, intervening in Syria and backing various factions in a bid to establish its influence.

The second factor is the historical context. Turkey has a complex relationship with the Assad regime and its actions in Syria have often been seen as a direct challenge to Assad’s control. With its military incursions and support of opposition forces, Turkey has been playing a game of chess with multiple pieces on the board.

Trump’s accusation, however, is a game-changer. It puts Turkey in the spotlight as the real mastermind behind the political turmoil in Syria. This claim doesn’t just highlight Turkey’s involvement; it also serves as a criticism of NATO’s effectiveness in managing its member states.

The geopolitical ramifications of this revelation could be significant. Turkey’s actions in Syria have already drawn ire from multiple quarters, but this accusation could potentially destabilize NATO relations, especially as the alliance already faces significant tensions. The 47th U.S. president’s bold accusation adds another layer of complexity to the existing conflicts in the region.

Critics will argue that this is just another instance of Trump’s contradictory approach to foreign policy, designed more to generate headlines than to foster real diplomatic progress. But supporters will counter that Trump is upending the traditional narratives and pushing world leaders, including those in NATO, to take a closer and harder look at their actions and motives.

In the context of the complex and often opaque world of international politics, Trump’s accusations could catalyze deeper, more meaningful discussions about the role of regional powers, the effectiveness of alliances, and the real drivers of conflict in war-torn regions like Syria.

Trump warns Hamas will have “all hell to pay” if it does not release the hostages before his inauguration

Meanwhile, Trump has warned Hamas that the group will have “all hell to pay” if the 250 Israeli hostages in Gaza are not released before his inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025.

In a recent interview with reporters, Trump refused to specify what “all hell to pay” actually entails but promised that “it won’t be pleasant.”

The situation is only made more complex by the release of a heart-wrenching video from Hamas, featuring Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, a 20-year-old soldier who tearfully pleaded for his release. The video has sparked outrage and sympathy, putting immense pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration to secure a swift resolution to the crisis.

Amid this volatile backdrop, a ray of hope has emerged. A senior Palestinian source has revealed to Middle East Eye that both sides are closer than ever to reaching a ceasefire deal. The emergence of this “new dynamic” in talks between Israel and Hamas marks a significant shift, suggesting that a resolution to the crisis might be within reach.

According to the source, the recent ceasefire in Lebanon provides a blueprint for a similar agreement in Gaza. (Related: SUDDEN PEACE? Trump win causes Yemen’s Houthis to halt war on U.S. Navy… for now, at least.)
