Syria: Federal Government's Support for War Coalition is Insanity
„A military strike of the U.S. threatens to escalate the conflict in Syria to become an international war“, warns Christine Buchholz, member of the executive board of the party DIE LINKE:
The attack of the U.S. army using cruise missiles threatens to cause a wildfire, further aggravating the suffering of the Syrian population. With the assault the U.S. government does not help the people in Syria but will solely demonstrate its military supremacy in the region.
Federal Foreign Minister Westerwelle said yesterday that Germany „in close coordination with its allies“ will be among those „that consider consequences to be appropriate.“ This boils down to nothing else but support of impending military assaults. The support of an evolving U.S.-led war coalition is insanity.
The patriot missiles stationed by the Federal Army at the Turkish-Syrian border have to be withdrawn immediately. Otherwise Germany is in the danger of getting involved in a new Middle East war. On the approaching International Day of Peace on 1. September DIE LINKE will as every year support the protest campaigns of the peace movement for a withdrawal of the Federal Army from all foreign assignments.
