I did not say it's all faked. The fact is the entire Arab spring now Arab winter was caused by western meddling.
There are now 30 factions fighting in the area, they are all militarized, meaning the west has armed everyone to the teeth, it's a world war. Everyone has their own interests and survival in mind and I wish we would have left everyone alone to govern their own affairs without external interference.
But the entire fiasco falls on the U.S. State department and NATO(and by extention the Anglo-hegemony and Europe ). It's their baby and they deserve ALL the blame. And the American people have figured out how full of it the psychopaths of the pentagon and CIA and their "allies" truly are .
While "the west" certainly isn't blameless, it is counter productive and a complete miss of the real underlying problems to put ALL the blame on them.
It's one thing to "meddle" and provide weapons.
The people actually doing the fighting still have to pick up the weapons and march to war.
Sure, there is a (good) case to be made that certain external parties poured a bunch of oil on the fire. But the oil only burns, because the fire was already there.
Consider this: no amount of meddling in an "old europe" country would make that country plummeth into a brutal civil war with that many factions (most of which aren't even from said country) trying to kill eachother.
All that hatred, animosity and division required for something like that to happen, was already present in those regions. And that is entirely their own responsability.
Without that, no amount of meddling would have resulted in the current situation.
From day 1, I've always said that this "arab spring" really isn't something to rejoice. It was crystal clear from the beginning that it was a bad thing. That it was just a way for fundamentalists and barbarians to seize power and set the entire region in flames.
Not a SINGLE country where this "spring" took place, was better off afterwards. Not a single one. Instead, it opened a can of worms that nobody seems to be able (or willing) to close again.
It's a hellhole and I don't see it improving any time soon. And to blame "the west" for it, completely misses the real causes.
Yes, "the west" played a dirty role at times. But these "dirty roles" would have been entirely without consequence, if it weren't for the deeply rooted problems that were already present.
And those problems are quite simply tribe mentality and religious fundamentalism.
They need to get their act together and they can only do that themselves. As long as these people stay in the dark due to their obsessive cultural heritage and fundamentalistic religious views, nothing will change. No matter what "the west" does.
