Colonel William Dunn’s Expert Analysis on the Syrian Crisis and Its Impact on Global Security


In an exclusive interview with Thrive News, retired Marine Corps Colonel William Dunn, president of Strategic Resilience Group LLC, shared his expert insights into the ongoing crisis in Syria. With a 33-year military career spanning roles from private to colonel, as well as advanced degrees from Old Dominion and Boston University, Colonel Dunn offers a deeply informed perspective on the implications of Syria’s recent government overthrow for the United States and the global community.

The Power Vacuum and Rising Terrorism

Reflecting on the overthrow of the Assad regime, Colonel Dunn noted the instability such power vacuums create in the Middle East. “Failed states become breeding grounds for terrorism,” he explained. Without a functional government, disenfranchised populations are vulnerable to recruitment by extremist groups. The abundance of weapons within Syria, including chemical and potentially biological arms, compounds the problem.

“Terrorist groups thrive in these conditions,” Dunn warned, emphasizing the risks not only for Syria but also for neighboring countries and global security. The threat is exacerbated by the difficulty in tracking and containing Syria’s arsenal, which could fall into the wrong hands and potentially be used against U.S. interests, either in the region or domestically.

The Resurgence of ISIS and Weaponized Threats

Colonel Dunn highlighted the persistent danger of ISIS, which continues to operate in the region despite counterterrorism efforts. Two members of his company recently supported Department of Defense operations in Syria, underscoring the ongoing battle against extremism.

However, Dunn’s greatest concern lies in the proliferation of Syrian weapons. “We know for a fact they have chemical weapons,” he stated, cautioning that these could be smuggled out of Syria and used against the U.S., potentially through unsecured borders. He advocated for robust intelligence operations to locate and neutralize these threats, stressing that preemptive action is essential.

China and Russia: Strategic Players

The geopolitical ramifications of Syria’s instability extend beyond the Middle East. Dunn expressed concerns about China and Russia seeking to influence the region’s power dynamics. “China has a 500-year plan,” he remarked, noting their strategy to leverage global instability for strategic advantage. Russia’s entrenched presence in Syria further complicates the situation.

Dunn urged the U.S. to adopt a cautious but proactive approach, working behind the scenes to identify and support a regime that aligns with American interests or, at the very least, promotes stability. “It’s a zero-sum game in many instances,” he said, emphasizing the importance of countering Chinese and Russian influence.

Lessons from the Battlefield

Drawing on his experience as a Marine Cobra pilot with deployments in Iraq, Dunn underscored the interconnectedness of regional conflicts. Weapons and fighters frequently cross porous borders, perpetuating violence and instability. “We were always concerned about any weapons coming from Syria when we were in Iraq,” he shared. This dynamic, he noted, remains unchanged and continues to threaten regional peace.

A Call for Strength and Strategy

When asked about the path forward, Dunn was clear: “We need presence and capability in the region to strike weapons and weapon convoys attempting to leave Syria.” He outlined a three-pronged strategy for the incoming administration:

    1. Deploy assets to neutralize weaponized threats.

    1. Enhance intelligence operations to locate and secure chemical and other weapons.

    1. Identify and engage with potential regimes that could stabilize Syria without opposing U.S. interests.

Dunn emphasized the importance of projecting power and strength. “If they understand that power and strength, we can make Syria malleable enough to avoid further distress in the Middle East,” he said.

American Interests at Stake

Addressing critics who advocate for isolationism, Dunn argued that U.S. involvement in Syria is not optional. “Just because it’s taking place halfway across the world doesn’t mean it’s not our interest,” he asserted. Pointing to the attacks of September 11, 2001, Dunn stressed the dangers of ignoring global threats. “The terrorist plan is always to strike where we are weakest,” he cautioned.

Conclusion

As Syria’s future hangs in the balance, Colonel Dunn’s insights highlight the complex challenges facing U.S. policymakers. From preventing the resurgence of ISIS to countering the influence of China and Russia, the stakes are high. In Dunn’s view, proactive engagement, strategic partnerships, and unwavering strength are essential to navigating this volatile situation and safeguarding American interests
