There is more to this that meets the eye. I believe Syria is dead, they just don’t know it yet. My take on all of this is Iran’s “Caliphate.” They need Syria and to get Syria not only do they have to wipe out the Christians, they have to wipe out the Kurds. This is happening in the guise of destroying ISIS.
This is also why Obama didn’t get arms to the Kurds despite their pleading. The 1.3 Billion will wind up in the Assad bank account as a going away present.
It is Saudi Arabia and it’s Sunni-Islamist minions in the region that are hellbent on eradicating Christians and other ethnic/religious minorities to create a Caliphate (an inherently Sunni institution that is anathema to Shia Iran).
That so many think Iran is the real problem, and not our Sunni Arab/Turkish supposed “allies” (haha) prove only their utter susceptibility to propaganda.
Team Assad for the win.
