Assad And His Dark Alliance

The last voting in the UNSC brought it finally out: the supporters of the Syrian regime stayed as the usual suspects. An overwhelming majority of the global community expressed their disgust over Assad's inhuman crackdown measures.

Whom we have in this coalition of cruelty supporters? Let's get a closer look at the regimes:

Putin is the one who should have done better by dropping Assad timely. Now he's urged to fight at two fronts: both, his international as also his reputance at home are decreasing. Not easy in times the presidential elections are knocking on the door and more 'n more people are connecting him with fraud and ignoring human rights as well. His former glance as Russia's leading representant is meanwhile only a fade shadow.

Achmadinedschad embodies the classical axis of tyrants. The Iranians are protesting since decades now for freedom but the powerful are still holding the country in their iron claws. The imagination that just the hardliner from Teheran would discover for his inner peace the road to freedom is more than absurd. Only a toppling of him and his whole bunch could guarantee Iran a new beginning.

The Chinese regime (I could mention on this place their president Hu Jintao but in no country of the world he whole ruling collective represents more the political status as in China) may not vote for Assad in the first line because of his cruelty against the revolutionaries. No, they have more the fear that the spark of freedom which is actually glowing in Tibet and among the Uyghurs may reach the average Chinese citizen. Then even such a huge apparatus like the Communist party would be in big trouble.

Venezuela's Chàvez, the South American Gaddafi, definitely not known for pluralistic or even democratic habits represents the sad remnant of the late 1970's junta generals. Not a perspective for a prosperous future. And for sure not a role model to become (under what circumstances ever) re-elected the next time.

Alexander Lukashenko is the primitive rowdy in the tyrants' club. His only merit is that he reminds us on the sinister times of the KGB rulership in the former Soviet Union. And how he's treating regime critics especially like Andrej Sannikov bears any tolerance. The last iron curtain inmidst Europe.

North Korea was always during the Kim Jong dynasty rulership a kind of surreal appearance among the world nations. Now the young Kim Jong Un represents a political system behind the fantasy of the average free world's citizen.

Mugabe is on the other side the grampa among the authoritarianists. Willing to celebrate his 238th birthday the people in Zimbabwe need at all resilience to become one day a free nation.

That the regimes of Cuba, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Bolivia have voted for Assad might have a lot to do with the old leftist strings and probably some pressure of the above mentioned leaders.

And what about Nasrallah and his doggy-style love for Bashar? Sorry, not really worth to mention. Somehow he and his Hezbollah belong to the family ..

The frontlines between the good guys and the bad guys are already cleared now. Time to step forward creating solutions that will really help the Syrians in the name of humanity (and not of a dozen regimes worldwide trying to dictate).
