TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A political commentator from Canada, who is the author of “Voices from Syria”, highlighted reasons behind US President Donald Trump’s recent decision to withdraw all US troops from Syria and said he may be seeking a “win-win” situation.

Taliano is an author and independent investigative reporter who recently returned
from a trip to Syria with the Third International Tour of Peace to Syria. In his new
book titled “Voices from Syria”, he combines years of research with
on-the-ground observations to present an informed and well-documented analysis
that refutes mainstream media narratives about the dirty war on Syria.

The following is the full text of the interview:
Tasnim: As you know, US President Donald Trump has recently decided
to withdraw all US troops from Syria. Given that Trump is a businessman
and thinks only about profit, what are the reasons behind this decision?
What do you think about the possibility of the total withdrawal? Would he
keep US strongholds in Syria?

Taliano: Yes, Trump announced that he was going to withdraw all US troops
from Syria. It could mean anything, since Western politicians have no credibility.
They say one thing and do another. They are largely puppets to deep state,
unelected polities.

Nonetheless, I am very pleased that he at least made the statement for a couple
of reasons.
of reasons.
First, it reveals the vacuousness of the fake Left and fake Progressives who
infest Western discourse with their empty, uninformed anti-war posturing. Any
person who opposes such a decision (as the fake Left and fake Progressives do)
is clearly pro-war of aggression. So they have lost all credibility to anyone who
is paying attention.

Second, Trump’s statement means that it might just happen. Maybe he will pull
US troops from Syria. If he does, then that is extraordinarily commendable.
Maybe Trump realizes that the neo-con project, spawn of the 911 false flag,
is a disaster, as it is. The Western war criminals are perpetuating an
overseas holocaust, they are draining public treasuries, and they are gaining
nothing apart from permanent residency in the War Criminal Hall of Infamy. So,
from a business perspective, maybe he realizes that it is a lost cause and he
should divert public monies to something productive, rather than to the black
hole of the Pentagon and assorted agencies.

Tasnim: Trump’s withdrawal plan has been met with widespread
opposition inside and outside the US. France's President Emmanuel
Macron
has said he deeply regrets the controversial decision. “An ally must
be dependable,” said Macron, who reportedly called Trump to warn him
against the plan. US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and the US envoy to
the global coalition fighting the Daesh terrorist group, Brett McGurk, resigned
in protest over Trump’s decision. In your opinion, why is Trump insisting on
his decision?

Taliano: As I explain in my book, the entire “war on terror” is a fraud, since the
West supports all of the terrorists in Syria, including ISIS (Daesh). Unfortunately,
war propaganda in the West’s post-democratic, new Fascist societies is a
growth industry so most North Americans have yet to figure this out. They
probably never will. I am very happy that some of these pro-terrorist, pro-wars
of aggression public figures are resigning. I wish they would all face war crimes
trials at the Hague and then leave the scene permanently. If Bolton and Pompeo
do not resign, they should. Again, I wish they would. If Trump could divest himself
of these criminals, then he would be truly “draining the swamp”, and that would
be commendable.

President Macron of France is a self-serving puppet for the transnational oligarch
class globalists who are destroying the world. French people are generally
more sophisticated than their North American counterparts, with a better awareness
of geopolitical realities, so they are waking up to the fact that neoliberalism is a
failed economic ideology. The international banksters and transnational
monopolies are profiting from the warmongering while 99 % of domestic
populations are paying the price in terms of taxes, destroyed economies,
increased poverty, and so on. Socialism exists in France and elsewhere,
but it is strictly socialism for the publicly bailed-out oligarch classes. The French,
and most notably the Gilets Jaunes are seemingly aware of this. I commend
the French for rising up against Macron and all that he and his government
represent.

Tasnim: Some analysts say that the US withdrawal would be a victory for
Iran. What is your assessment of the Islamic Republic’s role in
developments which led Trump to take such a decision?
Iran. What is your assessment of the Islamic Republic’s role in
developments which led Trump to take such a decision?
Taliano: Iran has played an important role in the war against international
terrorism. Iran’s role in Syria is legal, and effective. The Axis of Resistance
is effectively wiping out terrorism in Syria - terrorism supported by the West - and
for this we should all be grateful. So, if wiping out terrorists is a victory for Iran, then
so be it. It is a well-earned victory. Most North Americans would applaud Iran’s role
in Syria if they could only disabuse themselves of the war propaganda that
assaults and victimizes them twenty- four hours a day. Iran does not have an
empire, nor does it seek an empire. It does not commit wars of aggression against
other countries, and it respects international law and the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of other nations, including its own. Already the West is
waging criminal economic war against Iran, and anyone who is paying attention
knows that Iran is the West’s next target, so Iran has all the more incentive to
fight terrorism. Western-supported terrorism is a direct threat to the Middle East
and Iran must defend its national security.

Did the on-going military success against Western-supported terrorism affect
Trump’s decision? I would think so. It means the world is shifting towards a
multi-polar orientation, and Trump may be aware of this. Maybe he is “cutting
his losses” and seeking a “win-win” outcome which will benefit both the US and
its fabricated “enemies”. This would be a positive outcome.
