Personally, I think that Russia has something on Trump. He will cave to them and Assad will remain in power to create the Shia crescent, and that means caving to Iran also.[/quote]
IMO it is and unfortunate “inconvenient truth” that the only way you get Assad out is go to war with Russia as well.
It is a lost cause IMO and prolonging it just causes more suffering and problems that get exported elsewhere.
