Foreign officers identified with the rebels in the Aleppo bag? An old story like the Middle East

What were a dozen foreign officers doing along with the Syrian rebels who were resisting in the East Aleppo pocket? It's creepy to even think about it, but it wouldn't be so absurd. Indeed, it would be a textbook operation for the Western armed forces and their 'allies', if you browse the war history of the twentieth century.o century, and draws on our expertise in the field of strategies applied to combat 'wars' that do not belong to us in areas where we have economic and geopolitical interests but few or no excuses to intervene.

The Syrian ambassador to the United Nations, Bashar Al Ja'afari (photo), before the Security Council on the humanitarian emergency in Aleppo - source a report from the government of Damascus - said that 12 "foreign officers" were together with the rebels If it turns out to be true, we would find ourselves in front of a story worthy of the most exciting history books and, perhaps, finally, most of the international press that has presented itself to the sectarian propaganda regarding the 'Syrian civil war' could begin to silence: or at least ask those who command it to account.

Twelve foreign officers, all intelligence or military officers from countries of the International Coalition: Saudi 6, American 1, Israeli 1, Turkish 1, Moroccan 1, Jordanian 1, would be identified with rebels in Aleppo.

"To do what?" - the question arises spontaneously.

If the identification were confirmed, it would be enough to think - with the help of a certain fancy - of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas E. Lawrence: promoter of the Arab revolt on behalf of His Majesty, when the Middle East did not exist yet and Turkey , an ally of Germany during the First World War, was opposed at all costs to avoid huge changes in the world political-economic scenario.

One could then think of MI6, the British secret service, which sent its agents and commandos to Yugoslavia, to arm and support the Tito People's Liberation Army to fight the Axis during World War II and to fight the Yugoslavs during the Greek civil war, two years later. To the CIA agents in Laos and Cambodia before the Tonkin incident, to the Belgian Foreign Legion in the Congolese Katanga of the '61.

In short, just think of how the wars of others are fought in silence, that activity in which the West has always been a talented professional: laying intelligent pawns on the chessboard, moving the wires with wisdom, and exfiltrating them before it's too late and someone notice it.
