As has been pointed out in another post, the anti-Iran forces want to take out Assad in Syria and IMHO are among the Russia haters blaming Putin for problems.
Some say the reason Assad has to be removed is so that the Sunni Gulf Arabs can pipe their oil through Syria into Turkey and onto the EU nations.
The EU, US and Turkey are all in on this and messing with Syria right now towards that end according to the people who see the situation that way.
Is the drama about how bad Iran is part of the drama in taking out Iran’s ally Syria?
Is Israel in cahoots with the Sunnis, the US, the EU or playing its own game on the sidelines.
Big promoters of the Syrian war like John McCain seem to be featured speakers at AIPAC (Israel Lobby) meetings in Washington.
I am most definitely pro-Israel, but not pro-political establishment in any country of the world.
Something smells in this Middle Eastern part of the world and all the emotional talk about Syria and Iran comes up against the other things I have brought up in my posts in this thread.
So the answer to Assad’s ouster is to bolster Assad’s greatest ally. Hmm. Which is what the EU wanted all along; remember that the other members of the P5+1 aside from the US, UK and Russia are Red China, France and Germany (who is the “plus one” nation).
