It would be quite a trick to salvage something good out of the smoking ruin of a society in Syria, that Obama leaves in his wake (Iraq and Libya as well).
By the time Trump comes into office, Eastern Aleppo could well have fallen to the regime, putting Assad in a much better position.
We do need a deal in Syria.
Yup. Here is my prediction on the Trump Plan for Syria:
1. U.S. teams with Russia to secure Syria and the Assad regime.
2. Russia teams with U.S. to wipe out ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
3. (Maybe) Russia cooperates with the U.S. to put the clamps on the Iran nuclear program. (The Art of the Deal gets a real test.)
Result: Lots of dead ISIS fighters. Fewer terrorist attacks in the U.S. and Europe. Libs go crazy. Saudi Arabia goes crazy. Turkey goes crazy.
