Damascus, the white presidential residence that represents the ruling power of the Assad family. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bashar, the Syrian ruler? Assad was eating dinner with his family like ordinary people. Unlike other traditional and conservative Arab families, the Assad family's dinner was a warm atmosphere for the family of four.

All thanks to the First Lady of Syria, Bashar? Assad's wife: Asma? Assad.

If you had to measure which country is more qualified to become an EU member on the basis of each country's first lady, Syria would be a better fit than Turkey.

This is a good-natured joke once reported by a French newspaper, referring to Syria's first lady, Asma? Al Al-Aqsus, an Arab born in London, England.

Asma's mother was a diplomat, her father was a surgeon, and she came from Syria's prestigious and large family, the Al-Aqsus family, who was born and raised in England and held dual British and Syrian citizenship, and graduated from the elite British girls' school and later college, where she received a bachelor's degree in computer science and French literature.

Like her husband Bashar, both of them have received a good Western education, and it is easy to find a balance between Western liberal culture and traditional Arab culture, which is why the atmosphere of the first Syrian family is lively and not old-fashioned.

The two have a son and a daughter, both of whom are weak children, and as usual, they are under the care of the maid, eating what they like to eat, and they are not aware that when their father eats today, his brows are always inadvertently slightly wrinkled.

Unlike the ignorant children, Asma usually cares little about her husband's work, but she takes care of her husband when he returns home. The uncertain look of her husband at the dinner was not omitted in her eyes and in her heart.

At the end of the intimate dinner, Asma instructed the maid to take the children out to play, while she helped her husband make a cup of fragrant coffee.

"Honey (it is said that the Arab woman calls her lover 'my cucumber' Khan one!) You seem to have violated the rules! Asma said in a mischievous tone as she sat next to her husband.

"Violation? Oh, look at me......" Bashar looked up at his wife in surprise, suddenly reacted, patted his forehead and said with some guilt, "Honey, I'm sorry! ”

Bashar remembered at this moment that the two had a secret agreement that they would go home on weekends and not be allowed to think about business. At that time, although it was a private agreement when the two were intimate, Bashar basically abided by this agreement in normal times.

And today, he obviously 'violated the rules', and went home with the mood of work, although he deliberately appeared to be similar to usual, but her attentive wife still noticed that something was abnormal.

"Can you tell me about it? I think you need someone to talk to now, or I'm afraid you'll be unhappy all the time today! Asma held her husband's big hand, leaned on her husband's shoulder, and said softly.

Bashar instinctively refused, knowing that his wife did not care much about politics, even though she had a Western education and he himself was very open, unlike other large families who treated women as subordinates to men. But Bashar felt that he was a little cowardly as a big man confiding in his wife about his helplessness at work.

However, looking at his wife's beautiful face, which was more mature than more than ten years ago, Bashar hesitated for a while.

When the two first met, Bashar was not the first heir of the Assad family, and when he was studying in England, he met Asma, a girl with the same education as him, a similar surname, and relatively open in concept.

Men and women who are in love, in their spare time, often talk about current affairs. However, after getting married, especially after having children, the wife almost became a full-time wife, and the topics that the two often talked about also shifted from current politics to housework.

Bashar's concern during this period was the demand from the United States and France for Syria's withdrawal from the Third OECD. Last time, Bashar was almost impressed by the weight of the United States and France, but with Iran's launch of Sputnik and Libya's accession to the Third Economic Cooperation and Development Organization, his attitude began to waver again.

Judging from the bargaining chips thrown by the United States and France, as long as Syria withdraws from the Third OECD, the United States and France will ensure that Syria will become an observer of NATO and the European Union, and give Syria preferential treatment in foreign trade and economic cooperation. As we all know, this world is dominated by the West, and public opinion is basically in the hands of the major Western countries, especially in the open cooking and freedom, and the Western countries seem to have more say. If the United States, France, and other countries do not propagate the Assad family's 'dynastic' rule over Syria, it will be difficult for some people with ulterior motives at home and abroad to oppose the Assad family's rule over Syria with the slogan of openness and freedom.

What, you say that my Assad family is engaged in reading? No way, the United States and France are open-boiled countries, right? They all admit that Syria is a boiled country under the leadership of the Assad family, what right do you have to deny it?

In these respects, it seems that Bashar should agree to the demands of the United States and France, withdraw from the Third Economic Cooperation and Development Organization, and throw himself into the arms of a more favorable and 'brighter' West.

But is Bashar a simple-minded man? Apparently not. The world is dominated by the West, and the West is dominated by whites. Although Arabs are authentically Caucasian, over time, Arabs scattered around the world have intermarried with other races, and today's Arabs look more like a race between Caucasians and yellows. The history has changed, and now that the white society has taken shape, it is very difficult for you to get the 'noble' white Westerners to recognize the Arabs as one of them.

Therefore, even if Syria joins the arms of the West, in the end it can only be a small minion at the bottom, don't think about eating meat, gnawing bones depends on your efforts in the future, and it is already very good to be able to have a soup to drink.

Moreover, Bashar is also worried about the credibility of the commitments made by the United States, France and other countries. There is no true friendship between countries, and interests are paramount. Western countries, on the other hand, have taken this principle to the limit. Now there is a request for you, it can give you benefits, make some promises, and if you go wrong, or you are not needed anymore, kick you away for sure.

At that time, Syria, which offended the newly rising power of another part of the world and was abandoned by its Western masters, where should it go?

History proves that wallgrass never ends well. Bashar also does not want to take this risk for himself and the Assad family.

When the Third OECD made some arrangements for his surname because of Bashar's vacillating attitude, Bashar had a headache.

First of all, the assistance of several Iranian countries to assist Syria in continuing its nuclear program has been suspended, and there are naturally many reasons, such as the current international environment is not right, and it is necessary to lie dormant in a low-key manner, and it is not possible to provoke the bottom line of Western countries and cause wars, etc., in short, if your attitude is wavering, we will not worry about you, at this time, even if you are not lured into betrayal, in the short term, we still have to examine whether you are worthy of assistance.

Second, Syria has no part in several times of the third OECD's economic, trade, and scientific cooperation. Of course, in order to stabilize Syria, the representatives of several countries also promised that as long as the foreign spy forces in Syria were not rampant, they would immediately agree to Syria's participation in cooperation.

Bashar is all too familiar with these diplomatic words, and he is both angry and helpless. Standing in someone else's position, you must be worried about whether the Syrian political axe is trustworthy, because he Bashar is in secret contact with the United States and France, who knows if you Bashar will take everyone's background as a vote and sell it to Western countries in exchange for benefits?

Besides, didn't our countries agree, as long as you cut off close contact with foreign forces, we are still good brothers and good friends, and if there are benefits, we will definitely take you to share.

Hey, the forces of the CIA and the Mossad are pervasive, and we can't stand the toss with this hole card!

In this way, Bashar watched from the side, Iran, North Korea, Somalia and even Libya, which joined later, carried out a number of economic and trade cooperation, achieved very good results, and brought great benefits to several countries. In terms of military technology, several countries have learned from each other's strengths and strengthened their military strength.

Hunger! The commitment of the United States and France is separated by the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic, and only a mirage-like shadow can be seen. At such a time, how can Bashar be happy?

Importantly, as Bashar's attitude has wavered, some forces in the country are also ready to try to oust the Assad family from power for their own benefit.

Bashar knows that as a political strongman, especially at a crossroads like Syria, leaders must not be indecisive and swaying from side to side, which would be a disaster for the Assad family and Syria.

But no matter which path you take, there are advantages and disadvantages, and this is the reason why Bashar can't always make a choice.

The benefits of cooperation with the West are that economic benefits can be obtained for the time being, and with the support of the West, those domestic careerists will certainly not dare to take action, and the rule of the Assad family is also stable and safe for the time being. The disadvantages are also obvious, once it withdraws from the Third OECD, Syria will completely become a member of the Western world, and those countries that have the means and strength to take their own strong path will definitely not accept Syria again, and in the end, Syria can only be reduced to a member of the mediocre countries in the world, eating and drinking, but it is difficult to make a difference.
