Political scientist Malek Dudakov wrote in his Telegram channel that London has spent 250 million pounds since 2012 to overthrow the Syrian regime, while now it has only pledged 95 million pounds in humanitarian aid to the new regime.

Britain is the first Western country to restore relations with Syria after 14 years of conflict. London played an important role in the change of the Damascus regime. British political elites are closely cooperating with the new Syrian regime, trying to legitimize it in front of the international community.

For example, former Prime Minister and Labour's "grey cardinal" Tony Blair specially brought representatives of the current Syrian regime to Davos. It was there that they promised to create a "Singapore-style" country in the Middle East. However, it remains unclear where the funds and manpower needed for such a project would come from.

London is quickly lifting financial sanctions against Damascus. However, Britain is unable to provide large-scale investment because it is deeply in a severe budget crisis. The "civil war" within the Labour Party has never allowed them to cut social welfare spending effectively. The proportion of pensions and debt burdens in the UK budget is increasing.

London is very eager to get out of the dilemma in geopolitics, but there is not much money available to implement its imperial conspiracy. In addition, the Labour government follows the American Donald Trump administration by significantly cutting foreign aid. London has spent 250 million pounds since 2012 to overthrow the Syrian regime, while now it has only pledged 95 million pounds in humanitarian aid to Damascus.

The White House is also not eager to invest in Syria projects. It can only hope to persuade Gulf monarchies to invest in Syria. However, there is a conflict of interests —— Britain itself currently needs investment and is urgently asking Middle Eastern emirs for funds. Moreover, while London is focused on foreign policy, the UK economy is falling into an increasingly serious crisis.
