The so-called reason why the United States wants to attack the Syrian government is that the Syrian government forces have won successively in the current form of war. Before long, the Syrian opposition supported by the United States and other countries will completely collapse. In order to support the opposition, the United States decided to attack the Syrian government, thus turning the tide. As for the excuse, it is said that the Syrian government used chemical weapons, which caused more than 1 000 civilian deaths. This is America's bottom line. Obama once said that if the Syrian government wants to use chemical weapons on a large scale, it will intervene, and the death of more than 1000 people is already large-scale. But at present, there is not enough evidence to show that chemical weapons are used by government forces, and even if government forces use them, who can guarantee that the opposition has not used them? Therefore, the key for the United States to fight Syria is to crack down on the forces of government forces and help the opposition win. Just like Libya, the so-called chemical weapons are just an excuse to send troops to intervene.
Russia supports Syria, because first of all, Russia has a military port in Syria. If the Syrian opposition comes to power, this military port will fall, which means that Russian troops will completely withdraw from the Mediterranean. Secondly, because of good relations, the Syrian government imports a large number of arms from Russia every year, which is the Russian arms market. If Syria falls into the hands of the opposition, the pro-western opposition will definitely import from the United States.
