My concern is that Russia is going to wine and dine the incoming Syrian government in order to keep their port access. Hopefully the Syrians will tell them to kick rocks on account of all the years of terror bombing dished out to them by the Kremlin
Every Syrian refugee I’ve met **hates ** Russia for the atrocities committed there. But money talks, I hope you are right and they tell them off.
Keep their bases in exchange for throwing a few bombs on the Kurds, you say?
I suspect they are inclined to tell the Russians to kick rocks. However, they are going to need some foreign support. As long as they are on the US terror list, it will be very difficult for that help to come from any US aligned group.
Having said that, between the growing disagreement over Israel policy, the coming 4 years of a Trump administration, and the desire of a lot of European countries to resolve the Syrian Refugee crisis; I could see a lot of European countries going against the US on this one and helping the new Syrian government.
Israel’s security doctrine, it’s that Israel will defend itself, by itself—and rely on no other country to fight its battles
Huh. Their track record of having US assistance in every conflict kinda flies in the face of that.
Unless by “to fight its battles” is taken quite literally to mean boots on the ground.
Israel has been built by other countries.
Imperial news is real big on “humiliation” of official enemies.
I’m as tankie as they come but I love shitting on Russia. Call it CIA brainwashing, its my absolute pleasure.
