Syria, Iran Cracking

It’s likely premature to say Syria is cracking as you don’t know what will follow if Assad should fall.

It’s nonsense to say Iran is cracking unless you mean cracking down. They are moving ahead with ICBM development and have the enrichment going full blast for nuclear material toward a bomb.

For all we know they already have a bomb or two. North Korea has been operating rogue for years. You don’t know what they have turned over to Iran let alone China or Pakistan.

This is not an easy situation to gauge let alone handle.

The best outcome would be for the Syrians to overthrow Baby Assad.
Their army may be imploding due to the rifts of literally shooting and bombing civilian cities.

Or it could be wishful thinking. Very fluid situation and not what this short article is saying.

More liberal wishful thinking. Weren’t they saying the same thing about Adolf’s regime, right before they actually had to go to war against them?

Which is why the fate of the Assad regime is geopolitically crucial. It is, of course, highly significant for reasons of democracy and human rights as well.

People who believe some sort of democratic utopia will replace Assad's regime obviously haven't been paying much attention to the other nations in the region.

More importantly on the geopolitical side is: What does Iran do with their ME influence waning and regime desperation growing?
