Tell me if this makes no sense.
Trump meets with his generals. He asks them? What if we approach the Russians with a deal. We unite to get ISIS out of Syria, in return we support Assad providing there are no reprisals against the rebels who fought against him, and most important Assad guarantees the safety of the Christian communities, and takes back Syrian refugees here.
He also agrees not to do anything to undermine Israel.
In short, he says, tell me what is wrong with this plan?
Assad is no worse, and might be better than Quadaffi
Russia is there why? Oil, natural gas, what? I’m sensing that if we are energy independent, we don’t need these bastar*s.
How about this proposal....Trump meets with Assad & Putin to re-establish the legally elected government of Syria....and Trump encourages them to kill every member of ISIS, Al Nusra, al qaeda, or any other murderous Islamic foreign mercenary found in their country....?
Eastern Med, port of Tartus, access to Black Sea, counter to US presence in Iraq and ties to Saudi. Syria is a Russia arms client. Syria and Russia have common interests in containing and defeating extremist sunni Islamism
Syria has been a Russian client and ally for decades
We have no hounds in that hunt
Except we now work at the bidding of Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and McCain and the neocons have a personal vendetta against Putin,
