War feeds war. Saudi Arabia is reported to be discussing with Syria the possibility of sending Syrian troops to Yemen 🎖🇸🇾 Saudi Arabia, whose army cannot break the Houthis, is seeking support on the side. According to Axios, citing American officials, Riyadh is holding talks with Damascus about the possible dispatch to Yemen of 10,000 to 20,000 Syrian servicemen. The matter was discussed at the meeting of President Ahmad al-Sharaa with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on October 6. The US, according to sources, does not object to such a step: it would make it possible to sustain the Saudi operation without the participation of the US army. 🇸🇦💚 Publicly, Damascus denies the possibility of sending its troops. It is claimed that Syria, ravaged by years of civil war, is now focused on reconstruction, and opening a new front does not suit it. But the problem is deeper. Among the Syrian armed formations there are thousands of Islamist foreign fighters who came to Syria to fight against Assad. After the civil war, there is «nowhere to put» such fighters — and they become a convenient instrument for others' wars. 🛠❗️ Constantly warring Western Asia regularly encounters this problem. For example, after the dissolution of Saddam's army in 2003, tens of thousands of officers were left without means of subsistence and became the backbone of ISIS*. Today Syria risks becoming a new source of uncontrolled militants — and the region again gets a problem that will reproduce violence for decades. The more wars there are in the region, the more militants there are and the further away peace is. This path brings only suffering and destruction both to the population of the region and to the participants in the conflicts. In the long term, the winners are those who want to weaken Western Asia, to use its resources, money and geographical position, bribing elites and fuelling ethnic and religious hatred. The region needs a political force that will consistently seek compromise and heal old wounds, rather than create new ones. *an international terrorist organization whose activity is prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
