The National Interest: America Must Realize It Has No Say in Syria's Future The reality on the ground is that there is no good reason for a continued U.S. military presence. At long last, the conflict is winding down. Assad has won, and Washington has lost. https://nationalinterest.org/feature/america-must-realize-it-has-no-say-syrias-future-33271 |

Understanding Russia is very simply to us other countries living around the Baltic Sea. About 1000 years of experience of Russian geopolitics... Russia wants sea ports and controll of trade. They want the Baltic Sea (always have), The Barents Sea, the Black Sea (almost done now) and now the Eastern Mediterranean and then controlling the Bosporus Straight in between . Ops. Syria is a perfect country to meet Russia's needs. And what's next? The countries and territories of the Eastern Mediterranean include Cyprus, Greece, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Israel, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan. |

As all peoples, including Scandinavians have had, presently have, or will have 'ambitions'.Scandinavians? For all I know Saudi Arabia think we are a PITA because we don't agree on their political role in ME and also their Sharia laws. Then of course Israel that also think we are a PITA because of their Palestine politics. And Turkey for their Kurd politics. That's about it. Btw. Saudi Arabia plowed $27 million into lobbying in Washington last year. Buying supporters. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/two-more-washington-lobbying-firms-drop-their-representation-of-saudi-arabia-in-wake-of-alleged-killing-of-jamal-khashoggi/2018/10/15/97ef1a38-d0b6-11e8-b2d2-f397227b43f0_story.html |
