FACING FACTS - REALITY CHECK IN SYRIA

Today's news are reporting that dozens of US State Department officials have reportedly signed an internal document calling for military action and regime change in Syria, claiming it is the only way to defeat Islamic State and end the war.

While the US calls for regime change, Russia is steadfast against removal of President Bashar Assad.  However, Sergey Ryabkov, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation, stated “We will never agree with our colleagues in Washington, as well as in a number of other capitals, who maintain that the whole task should be tuned by the well-known phrase reading ‘Assad must leave.”  This is because Russia is trying to reduce the complexity of the chaos outside its long southern borders.  Recent history has also shown that the price of regime change in the Middle East has been INCREASED destabilization and war.

The lethargic and dis-jointed US and EU response policy to date has been largely responsible for the European refugee crisis and the chaos across the region. Obama and his advisers have been completely naive in their approach.  We encourage readers to review the basic history of colonialism in the area.

Too many times there has not been any post-game plan.  There has been no willingness to depart from the past.  The players are keen to start, but wane in their enthusiasm as time goes on.  Planning through to conclusion is needed, i.e. a big picture strategy.  A prototype plan could be something like this:
  • Negotiate a US/Russia combined combat strategy including an iron-clad definition of allies and opponents. 
  • get Turkey, and the other surrounding nations in line with the plan.
  • settle Kurdish grievances.
  • settle Armenian grievances.
  • establish refugee safe zones in Syria and Iraq.
  • complete the total blocking of Daesh movement and logistics.
  • Smash Daesh.
  • Create US/EU/Russia cabinet to mediate (but not dictate) new borders among the largest of the warring factions.

What do you think? 
It is true that the young men with their black ship are lying in wait for him to kill him before he reaches his country; but I think this will not happen, but that sooner the earth will cover some one of those suitors, who now are eating away your substance.
