This is what I understand currently the political environment is regarding Syria....
....US and EU want Russia to join the coalition against ISIS
....US and EU nor Russia wants the Syrian Army to fall to ISIS
....Russia wants Syrian Army to be part of the Coalition against ISIS
....Russia wants Assad to consider ‘power sharing’ with the Rebels through Diplomacy...(currently underway)... before attacking ISIS.
....US does NOT want Power shared rather Regime change..Assad out....no Diplomacy before attacking ISIS
....Russia’s intentions are safe guarding Assad’s “elected” Soverign state Government...Iran now assisting Russia to do that.
....US and EU fighting alongside Syrian Rebel Army bombing against ISIS in Syria, while Assad forces along with Gulf Oil Countries Bombing against ISIS in Syria ...
....ALL parties want a coalition against ISIS.
....A ‘diplomatic solution’ would put an end to regime change which does not satisfy the US officials...
The US has their Transiante Officials ‘outside’ Syria to assume Government of Syria if Assad falls.
The Syrian Rebels have their Officials ‘Inside’ Syria to Assume Government of Syria if Assad falls.
US says Russian involvement would destablize the country ...yet US is fighting there also????...Russia has always supported ASSAD.
US wants regime change ahead of the urgency of ridding the areas of ISIS????
US and Eu want to get rid of ASSAD but keep the Syrian Institutions in place...unlike in Libya...
Assad is the head of the State legally, politically, and morally responsible for what is happening in Syria now.. under his watch Syria has come apart...It’s Only the Syrian people who determen Assads legitimacy...
Remember Petraous said that the US should be arming Alqiada to fight Assad????...against a sitting President????
So where are the Syrian people that’s claimed by the Us that Assad has lost his power??? Are they fighting ...no they’re in Germany or in flight from their own country to “find a better life”....
If the Syrian people want regime change then they need to appoint their own transitional Government and have an election... which was agreed on in 2012.... the US walked away saying it’s a conflict zone so there can’t be elections...yet they had them many times while Aphganistan was in conflict.???
This is a cold we see playing out in Syria between Saudi and Iran....for the Caliphate leadership...be it Sunni or Shite that wins in the end.
I don’t really find anything to object to in your comments. I think they’re pretty much on target. I do believe there is danger in Russia being there, but I’d say so based on the idea we shouldn’t be there, and the fact that we are is the problem.
McCain’s advise to Obama was 1980s and 1990s based. That old world reality had changed, and McCain was still thinking ousting Khadaffy and Assad were excellent moves.
I think that was wrong, and it is in large part responsible for some of the outcomes we have seen.
It’s such a shame we didn’t retire McCain in 2010.
