Ok, so basically the emerging situation amounts to a circular firing squad, right? One with heavy weaponry.
So long as it’s contained (yeah, big “if” right there, I know), I really don’t see the downside to this ...
WWIII by proxy
Well much as I like the idea of maximizing casualties in Syria, can’t we just support the Russians? After all, they actually have a dog in this fight...
I think we might reach a tacit understanding with Russia that the weapons supplied to either side not significantly escalate the conflict, that if one side imbalances the equation, the other side will counter it. Always with Israel as the wild card, to carry out unilateral action if it feels threatened.
A mystery at this point is why the northern Syrian Kurds have just gone into an isolationist mode, without using the opportunity to increase ties with the Iraqi Kurds. Hopefully they have been, discreetly.
If Syria does implode, the Kurds have a possibly unique opportunity to jump ship, with the Iraqi Kurd Peshmurga army large enough to guarantee their departure.
Looking a lot like Spain 1936.
Good. As long as both sides stay out of it, it could turn into a real Muslim meat grinder which is a good thing. Let them all kill each other off.
This could be an ominous development into which Juan McCain helped to push us.
LOL
Syria, the new Afghanistan.
Good for Russia!
They’re supporting the Alawites (secular Shiite Muslims), and their Druze and Christian allies, while the USA is supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda and the Saudi Wahabbis.
A more disgusting betrayal of those who died on 9/11 is hard to imagine.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
