US and Israel now bombing IS targets supposedly. Erdogan probably sheltering them in Turkey by now like he has in the past. Islamic radicals is a problem that never goes away. They just hide.
Grats on your new freedoms, Syrians! Pardon us while we bomb a few places in your country. But you're still free!
“Tuning out” will make America unsafe. This is a good write up on what the fall of Assad can mean to Russia and their ability to manipulate their global interests. The Russians are currently negotiating with the new regime in Syria to maintain their Mediterranean base.
Yeh, but the true winner and player there is Erdogan. Maybe it goes into in there in the write-up somewhere. Erdogan can use his power vis a vis the new regime as a bargaining chip with Putin on their various issues. If Putin is not being cooperative, Erdogan can let him know that he can arrange to have them dislocated from Syria.
The ROI Erdogan got on HTE is chef’s kiss. The leverage Turkey has right now can create a lot of disruption to a lot of the Middle East status quo. There has to be a lot of maneuvering going on right now. There’s a lot of potential to further weaken Russia and Iran here.
Oh look, another terrorist put in charge. Looks like a graduate from the CIA finishing school. Showered, shaved, clean suit, good to go. Another government overthrown by the good guys spreading "democracy". What can possibly go wrong?
Enjoy your “freedom” while your new ISIS masters take over. The only question is if they will be worse than the Assad regime.
ottamen empire resurrection, turkey is behind this, while us and irseal took advantage of the situation to create a security buffer, much like the russians in ukraine.
