“Sykes-Picot is breaking; putting it back together, even in a different shape, will be a long and bloody affair.”
So wroteTim Marshallback in 2016 in his book Ten Maps That Tell You Everything You Need to Know about Global Politics—essentially a eulogy for European and British border redrawing, particularly in the Middle East (West Asia) region.

Syria withstooddecades of clandestine operationsby MI6 and the CIA to reshape history in a sovereign nation that represented this blurring of the Sykes-Picot lines drawn in 1916. It was a secret agreement that divided the Ottoman Empire into British and French spheres of influence. Lines were drawn with no respect for the ethnic, tribal, and religious boundaries in the region, which would lead to orchestrated instability and conflict for a century after.
Arab academic and journalistMyriam Charabatyhad this to say about the end of Sykes-Picot:
The rise of resistance across Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen unraveled Sykes-Picot’s colonial borders, forging a shared identity and uniting fronts. The West, foreseeing that an Islamic Resistance would reject the region’s fragmented map, launched the “Arab Springs” to reconfigure roles beyond Sykes-Picot.
The fall of Syria took 14 long and bloody years to achieve.An estimated one million Syrians perished in the long years of war against the terrorist proxy forcesunleashed by the U.S., UK, EU, Turkey, Arab Gulf States, and Israel. The majority of those Syrians were soldiers in the Syrian Arab Army who gave their lives to defend their country from the Takfiri project hatched by the UK and U.S. post 9/11 [2001], in defense of Israel.
The regime-change war against Syria can be traced back to globalist BritishPrime Minister Tony Blairand U.S.President George W. Bush.It can also be attributed to theClean Break Doctrine, a CIA strategy paper, for Israel, written in 1996, that outlined:
Israel can shape its strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq, an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right as a means of foiling Syria’s regional ambitions.
