THIS is a pretty good article. We are helping up northern in the Kurdish area/with Arab forces.(Israel is trying to contain Iran and also going after ISIS,ISIL and Daesh.) While the Deep State with UK and Germany and France..and not sure who else have been secretly funding ISIS,ISIL and Daesh..Too make the war go on and trying to over-throw Assad.
Now with President Trump hoply we’ll get out and let the Syrians do their thing..the problem is..Kurds..the Syrians aren’t happy with the Kurdish people either..so its a mess.
Good summation.
However, motive is important in case that’s still not understood by all.
Qatar & Saudis need Assad out in order to get pipelines built through Syria in order to export their oil & gas to europe.
Qatar, Saudis, Germany, France, UK and US Deep State FUNDED TRAINED SUPPORTED Al-Nursa ISIS / ISIL aligned “Rebels” to overthrow Assad.
Russia sees this scheme as a multiple threat:
1. They don’t want any competition for their Gasprom EU oil gas monopoly.
2. Syria has been a long time strategic ally.
3. Russia does not want any additional Syrian islamic terrorist threat at their door.
