We are really getting into some high stakes negotiating and pressure gambits, as consolidation toward an end state of the war progresses.
Cleaner, more defensible and stable front lines are settling out. Chaotic regions are being consolidated. ISIS is pretty much cleared off the table. Idlib seems like the last major area to be pacified - if the main International powers (US, Russia, Turkey, Iran) can be kept from engaging each other (overtly or covertly).
In some ways, the political stakes are going up, as the potential to actually strike deals becomes more realistic, in the more controlled military environment. Without ISIS, it is now much more a group of rational adults involved.
I hope you are right.
I’m ready for a little sanity.
But look close to home. Is that sane?
Headshake.
I’m weary of bad news, ready for the Truth to be more common and respected.
