100% agreed on all your points.
That’s my hope and prediction. It would be the only sane option.
Cooperating with Russia against rabid Sunni jihadis (our common foe) will give plenty of political leverage to put pressure on Iran on the nuclear issue.
As to our ‘allies’ in the region:
1. Israel gets assurances from USA and Russia. Don’t let the neocons and uber-Zios push us into a war with Iran. Russia and China are deeply invested in Iran’s defense and in any case the global security situation would spiral totally out of control. This is a lose-lose for everyone except the Sunni jihadis.
2. Screw the Saudis.
3. Tell the Turks to behave and to cut out the hubris of a new Ottoman Empire.
4. Help Sisis Egypt become the chief Western ally in the wider Arabic spealing world. They are on good terms with Assad, Iran AND Israel.
p.s.: the US doesn’t actually have to engage actively in Syria. Just stop putting stones in Assads road to victory and cut the foreign support for the jihadi terrorists.
The war would be over in short time.

And yours as well. Particularly the promotion of Sisi in Egypt. Very important.
5. Get the nukes out of Incirlik. Heck, completely decamp U.S. Forces from Turkey. They are not allies.
