“The United States is involved in playing a game here.… [The war on ISIL] is the equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig, an expression that is meant to convey the idea that no matter how much makeup you put on a pig, still it is going to be a pig,” Glenn said.
Glenn said that since the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, the US has been working “in collusion with Israel and with other western powers… to reconfigure the Middle East.”
The US Defense Department has said it will not share intelligence on Daesh terrorists in Syria unless Moscow changes its stance on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The US and Russia have opposite views regarding the fate of President Assad. Washington insists Assad does not have a role in Syria’s future, whereas Moscow believes only the Syrian people must decide the future of their country.
