The Syrian Peace Deal

category international | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Saturday December 19, 2015 00:20author by Paddy Hackett Report this post to the editors

The Peace Deal does not serve the interests of the masses of the Middle East.

The peace deal proposed and accepted is a reflection of the success of Moscow's strategy in the Middle East. The opposition, as it is called, came to the table because it knows that the military alliance involving Russia, Iran and Syria is going to gobble them up. This has been Putin's strategy. It has proved successful whereas the Western strategy led by Washington has been an unmitigated disaster on a par with its strategy with regard to Vietnam.

Having said this it will not inevitably follow that the peace deal will be successful. It is going to be interesting as to how ISIS will react to this latest development. Turkey may not be too happy with it either. Turkey fears the struggle for an independent Kurdistan entailing Turkish, Iraqi and Syrian territory.

But the peace deal has nothing to do with the interests of the Syrian masses. It is a deal accepted in the interests of capitalism.
