Somehow, I dont think the situation in Syria is going to be resolved that easily via the toppling of Assad. There is no way things are going to stabilised to the liking of the west and this might be a calculated move by Russia, Iran and China to get their adversaries to waste even more resources whilst China cuts the U.S. from the rare earth it’s needs to produce the weapons it needs to confront the three nations in a fire fight. We must realise on the grand scheme of things, Syria and Lebanon are nothing much but weapon sponges for Israel and the USA to waste their gear on while destroying its reputation while the rest of the nations can prepare for a future where the USA won’t be ready to confront anyone on a more serious footing. If the trade off is an unstable Middle East (Syria, Lebanon) where the credibility and weapon stocks of the west gets further depleted while Iran remains somewhat untouched and Russia wins and takes what is necessary in Ukraine (that’s all those resources that won’t go to the U.S. like Lindsay Graham wants), then as cold as it sounds, it might not be a bad trade off for Russia and China all things considered. Seriously, just one win for the USA isn’t going to reverse all the bad fortunes that is hitting the USA lately especially after that assassination of that health CEO having the potential to really start things which could set of a terrifying chain reaction that dwarfs anything the world has seenWith Damascus pretty much fallen into the hands of the rebels, and that the Russian military are hastily evacuating Tartus and now Khmeimim, looks like Russia isn't even interested in defending the remnants of pro-Assad forces in the coastal regions either.
