Israel claimed Syria's long-running civil war had effectively come to an end Thursday and predicted the Golan Heights frontier between the two countries would be much quieter over the coming months.
Syrian President Bashar Assad has sought to restore central rule in several southwestern areas of the country in recent weeks, with a particular focus on reclaiming Golan Heights — an area of strategic and political significance for both Damascus and Jerusalem.
"From our perspective, the situation is returning to how it was before the civil war, meaning there is a real address, someone responsible, and central rule," Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman told reporters on Thursday.

Did the US funded and armed "Freedom Fighters" take the money and run?
Back to ISIS?
No pipeline to Europe?
Which means the Qatari pipeline will have to go through Saudi, Jordan and Israel, if ever built.
Very interesting development. The Israeli defense minister has also said something to the effect that Assad regaining power enhances Israel’s security. I’m now as curious as Jim Acosta as to what Trump and Putin were talking about in private, though for different reasons.
This whole thing must be heartbreaking for the neocons. If Russia (pushed by Trump) gets the Iranians to back off, the prospects for war grow pretty dim.
The Germans should be happy.
Merkel’s mistakes can be sent back home.
Another failure for idiot President Dumble Bumble Obama.
But it wasn't a complete failure. That @$$ Bastard did manage to create ISIS out of his massive fiasco, and he did manage to get millions of low intellect Muslim sh*t heads streaming into Europe.
ISIS was President Idiot’s “Freedom Fighters.” He also called them “Moderate Muslims.”
Syria and Iraq lost the Euphrates valley to the Sunni/Kurd coalition.
I argue, perhaps with out basis, that Aleppo and a corridor to the sea may still be in contention.
Well said...
...”the good al Qaeda”...
See post Las Vegas Massacre....
Nice thing about all this, is that McCain gets to see his little WWIII vaporized.
His offshoot ISIS is dead.
His good al Qaeda meme is shot to hell.
Assad still rules.
Israel is more safe.
Most everything John stood for over the years, is coming unraveled.
The man he said we had nothing to fear from, has been revealed for having done many many things we should have feared.
Donald Trump is our President, and John is wasting away in some hospital bed not far from a morgue, where the final lights will be turned off.
I’m reminded of that old heavy set Black servant at the Gone With the Wind mansion at the beginning of the movie. She says, “Aint fittin, aint fittin, aint fitten...”
I can hear her now saying, “It’s fittin, it’s fittin, it’s fittin...”, and she would be so right.
Night John boy...
Trump is ending the Obama wars.
The Muslim refugees may go home as soon as they finish pillaging Europe.
McCain, Bolton, and Nikki Haley must be having a fit. No more false flag claims about Assad gassing his own people. Assad and Putin were no saints, but neither were any of the other participants in this fiasco.

Yep, the fake gas attacks haven’t worked yet, except we bombed some empty buildings and parking lots. The White Helmets have gone. I doubt we have seen the last of this matter, but the focus will move to some other place in the ME. The neocons will regroup and try again.
Someone stopped funding the pro-Sharia rebels.....
So we can all send back the 12 million “refugees” now?

And believing these things does not make us pacifists or isolationists. Assad was just a smokescreen to conceal the activities of our ideological enemies elsewhere.
There really aren’t many actual pacifists, and “isolationist” is pretty much meaningless.
