How many Freepers know all the sides to the intersection of Syrian civil war
And Iranian hegemony
And how they have all shifted and ebbed
Israel
Russia
Turkey
The Petro Royals and their divisions
Christians in Lebanon and Syria
The USA
European powers
Youd be surprised who on that list supported ISIS because they hated Hezbollah more
Its a huge mess and we cannot fix it
I spent many yrs in the ME..a variety of positions and involved in most of the countries. It is a mess and always will be. Add Russia into the mix and it’s a disaster.
