i agree that Christians face dire consequences. They might get some relief if they can make it to the coast, TBH.

The plan to topple Syria (Assad must go) started in the Bush era, continued during Obama, and even Trump kept 1000 soldiers 'guarding' the oil and agriculture lands, so that Assad was starved out. Now this supposed 'fall of Syria' happens during Biden's lame duck stint. Point is: it's bipartisan.

The main goal was to 'stretch Russia'. And so it is - that many are now saying this Syria flare-up is WW3 continued - against BRICS, really. Mainly Russia and Iran, in this case.(Ukraine being the main hot-spot right meow, but there were also plans made for Georgia (still warmish), Moldova (heating up), Belarus (safe, for now) and Central Asia (warmish).

Trump mentions that China could help, and that is gracious of him. China wants to extend the Belt-and-Road accross the ME, and TBH that would actually transform the place, unlike this endless head-chopping video stuff. Furthermore, that Belt and Road could easily come accross the Bering straight and then connect Canada, USA, Mexico. It is mindboggling what Peace could achieve. But the Chinese are not pleased with this fire-breathing and cloak and dagger stuff that is going on over here.

The ME war is about pipelines and land-route trade-corridors. The reason Assad's behavior was unacceptable to the West, is that he did not agree to a pipeline to Turkey through Syria - wanting to use the oil to feed Syrians. Meanwile, the Syrians were thrown some US humanitarian aid, despite the crippling sanctions. All very confusing, and if they don't start killing civilians, it might even be better. IDK.

It was planned since the noughties - Seymour Hirsh warned us of Bush' plans, and so did Wikileaks report on the Clintons meddling during the Obummer years.

USA still, shamefully backs the 'rebels' (ISIS, AlQaida - you name it, they invent names every few years. All we see in MSM is 'rebels'. or 'opposition forces'. Also many Kurds moved to the USA after Turkey ethnically cleansed them, so rightfully, the 'Kurds' who mainly work the oilfields, are acked by USA. Meanwhile, Israel had already taken the Golan Heights off Syria back in 1976, so they are also culpable. But nothing to see here. Apparently, countries may not claim sovereignty anymore.

There were groups of these State-dept -listed terrorists around the US bases (Near border of Jordan, Syria and Iraq - since WW1).

Oh, There have been reports of Ukrainians in Syria, despite the crumbling front lines back in ukraine, there are personnel in Syria. Explain this to a logical person?

The last factoid had me thinking that this whole thing is all based on lies and deception, and Angloid meddling in the ME, from the likes of Laurence-the-cross-dresser of Arabia, since WW1.
