Syrian Power In The Throes Of Geopolitics The Syrian capital, Damascus, is currently in the Western media’s focus. Since the 30s, the Syrian regime has been close to the North Pole.
The names of Putin and Bashar al-Assad are probably the names that are easily remembered by those who only remember world politics. These names, which are a headache for the West, may be somewhat comforting given the changed political situation in Syria.
The Syrian regime and its geopolitical turmoil may become a moving lesson for the rest of the world. In a sense, the musical chairs of the geopolitical players are playing out in Syria. That game was going on even under Bashar’s rule. Even after becoming the ruler of the country, Bashar could not rule the country because he did not have complete control over the country.
Iran, Turkey, Russia, and the US have officially established military bases. Israel also climbed the Golan Heights after the latest change and established a military presence in about 1,800 square kilometres of land.
According to Zusar, an organization that studies the political, economic, and social conditions of Syria, there are currently more than 100 foreign military bases and more than 800 foreign military checkpoints in Syria.
Turkey is not the only one affected by the Syrian tragedy; Lebanon, Germany, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt are also affected. Due to the Syrian conflict, the burden of the refugee problem is also being borne by the neighbours.
It is said that important locations in Lebanon, Syria, and Israel can be targeted from the Golan Heights—Israel did not want to miss such an opportunity. In short, Syria has been a successful playground for geopolitical players. Successful in that anyone could easily conduct their activities and demonstrate their presence.
In Lebanon, Hezbollah still has the military capability to defeat Syria. The Free Syrian Army, supported by Saudi Arabia and Arab countries, has not laid down its arms. In fact, lasting peace in Syria is a daydream. Although the Taliban in Afghanistan and Hayat Talim al-Sam’s rule in Syria are generally considered to be the same, the Taliban rule is universally accepted in Afghanistan.
