MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

 

Syria blows up again!

 

Syria has, after a bit of calm, has blown up again.

It is the kind of battle where you need a score card to know who is on what side.  And they are always switching sides!  Today's friend is tomorrow's enemy who might be a friend again the day after.

Syria's Assad may flee Damascus and if that happens, we don't know who takes over.

The coalition that ousts Assad will fall apart and the fighting starts again.

Iraq is sending help for Assad (glad we helped Iraq...) and is Russia with airstrikes and mercenaries from the Wagner group are supposed on the way.  Meanwhile, the Kurds are taking advantage of the situation are grabbing more land.

The question of who it ends is easy.  It won't end.  

It's the Middle East.
