Yes, thanks - this is a big deal but few get it. The Syria and Iraq civil wars pretty much shows the west’s diplomats and intel people are clueless about the region after all these decades.
I agree completely with you. Further, I would say, they are either clueless ... or they have clues and plans which they are not sharing with the rest of us.
That whole refugee influx to Europe was planned - the cutting off of rations for Syrian refugees in 2015, the opening of Turkey’s borders to one and all at the same time, the prior removal of Gaddafi’s govt who was repressing the people smugglers of Benghazi.
This is a strategy, but we have not been told about it.
