Now that chaotic Syria is fully under terrorist control — exactly as the West directed — the EU has lifted its previous anti-Syria sanctions

The West's moral twistedness — doing its customary dance

The Collective West always does the reverse of what is morally justified and societally effective.

For example

Regarding the chaos in Syria that has resulted from the West-supported Islamic terrorist groups' overthrow of the Bashar Al-Assad regime:

The [European] Council decided today to suspend a number of restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria.

This decision is part of the EU’s efforts to support an inclusive political transition in Syria, and its swift economic recovery, reconstruction, and stabilisation.

The EU aims to facilitate engagement with Syria, its people, and businesses, in key areas of energy and transport, as well as to facilitate financial and banking transactions associated with such sectors and those needed for humanitarian and reconstruction purposes.

How noble.

Then, truth intrudes

ZeroHedge put the EU's viciousness into more accurate perspective:

[T]he fact remains that millions of Syrians felt the devastating impact of sanctions most heavily.

The West used the sanctions to try and squeeze the Bashar al-Assad government out of power. He fled Syria on December 8 as Turkish-backed jihadists made their way south from Idlib.

For years, and currently, Syrians spend most of their week without electricity, or adequate fuel for heat or cars.

The currency collapsed but is barely starting to recover. The common populace has been suffering severely for well over a decade.

Yet during the height of the [West's] proxy war for regime change, the EU only allowed the transfers of arms and ammo to the anti-Assad 'rebels' of Syria.

Many of these weapons ended up in ISIS and al-Qaeda hands, and this never seemed to bother Western leaders very much (as it was perhaps intended).

Last week, the UN Development Program (UNDP) issued a report saying it expects it could take over 50 years for Syria to make a full recovery to what it was pre-war.

And on Sunday, UNDP director Abdallah al-Dardari stated that 90 percent of the Syrian population lived in poverty. This was never close to being the case before the proxy war.

"That is three times the level of poverty in 2010, and the proportion of people living in extreme poverty today is 66 percent – six times the level in 2010, which was 11 percent," Dardari said.

The US-NATO-Gulf led proxy war to overthrow Assad smashed the country for years and decades to come.

And what has emerged is an Al-Qaeda linked government in Damascus, and gangs of unaccountable foreign jihadists roaming the countryside.

The moral? — Economic sanctions are how cowards fight . . .

. . . the parasitizing wars they start.

The only people injured are those, who had nothing to do with whatever pretended evil the West alleges occurred.

The Collective West's real motive — in all of its Chaos Instigation — is to keep violence churning, so as to feed the blood-sucking war industries it owns.

That and culturally engrained sadism.
