Rebuilding Syria will also be a massive effort, costing at least $250 billion, according to one U.N. estimate.

Strikes me that rebuilding Syria and returning all the Syrian refugees would be a great end to a horrid misadventure in the Mideast.

It’s Russia’s Friend so they should do it

[rrrod]

No....

” An icy reception”

Such bullshit
Someone tell the Pentagon we are NOT going back to the Cold war
If we dont work with Russia on this, then the Chinese will

[cdcdawg]

We agree to help do this, but only if Iran pulls way back.

Putin leans on Iran. They pull back just far enough where Bibi is not quite satisfied, but can live with it, and the Iranians grumble too, but everybody saves face. Trump collects second Nobel Prize for Peace. Bill Kristol’s head explodes.

Upwards of 500,000 dead, eh? That should make Bill and Linda Gates happy - reducing the surplus population.

They’ve got a deadline to meet after all...

Thanks CondoleezzaProtege. Conditions would need to be laid down first -- removal of Iran from Syria and Lebanon, for starters. If the Russians can't get them to go, then the Russians would have to agree to use force.

I see no reason why the EU should not step up on this one.

It’s in THEIR interests.

The US has a peripheral interest, at best.

[CivilWarBrewing]

How about bill the global cabal and its Deep State puppets Obama, Brennan, Hillary, etc., for stoking the war in Syria until Trump came along to wipe out THEIR ISIS and refusing to keep feeding the anti-Assad terrorist "rebels" with more weapons?

Obama OUT, Syrian war STOPPED. THAT'S the headline.

[JMS]

The EU and the rich Arab countries can pay our companies to do it. We’ll sell them the expertise and materiel.

[McGruff]

Well we did help create this mess.

[Grimmy]

Let the EU start paying for the rebuilding around the world.

Well, we *could* help with the refugee repatriation logistics. Having a bit of recent practice at doing such things on a large scale could come in handy.

[StormEye]

Let Syria's good Arab friends like Saudi Arabia,
the UAE, Jordan, etc rebuild Syria. I don't understand
why anybody thinks it's the USA's business to rebuild
an enemy nation like Syria. Russia, you go right ahead and do it!
That's what having a client state is all about!

[PGR88]

It’s only right. Obama, Mccain and the saudis helped destroy the place

[Navy Patriot]

How about bill the global cabal and its Deep State puppets Obama, Brennan, Hillary, etc., for stoking the war in Syria...

Best idea so far, these are the scumbags that started the Syria war, spread it to destabilize the entire Middle East/North Africa, brought it to Europe, and then lost it.

I don’t think the US should bear most of the financial burden, but if the US and Russia and the Euros could work together to help resettle Syrian refugees, that could be a positive. And the Arab oil states could make substantial financial contributions.

And the US should assure Assad that if he and his supporters start mistreating any segment of the Syrian population in the future, stealth drones will be firing missiles through his bedroom window.
