I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

To recap our story until now ....

In 2011 the USA (thru its NGOs and CIA) and Israel (thru its covert use of Arab language social media) fanned the flames of the "Arab Spring", and hijacked an anti- corruption movement to promote regime change across the Mideast and North Africa. The USA was covertly backing the Muslim Brotherhood.

So the government of Tunisia fell, only to be replaced by an equally authoritarian and corrupt government. Egypt also changed hands, to a Muslim Brotherhood government (I was vastly surprised when Obama supported it, not realizing it was a USA proxy). Then a "rebellion" in Libya was ginned up, and with (false, State Department-funded) NGO HRW "reports" of "Qaddafi gives his soldiers viagra for rape" and "Qaddafi is massacring his own people" we were galvanized into supporting the destruction of Libya.

Following the money and weapons, Saudi Arabia and Qatar were in a contest to see who could ship the most arms to the terrorists/ jihadists who were our proxies on the ground in Libya. The consulate AND NEARBY CIA ANNEX in Benghazi... which were destroyed by jihadists ... played an active role helping to transship arms from Libya for the next planned regime change in SYRIA.

Please note that "we" routinely use terrorist, extremist forces as our proxies on yhe ground.

*****

On to Syria, where, following our standard regime- change playbook of exploiting a (sometimes existing, sometimes fabricated, often both) social injustice and driving wedges deep into society, civil unrest was ignited in Syria, and then we rapidly brought in well-armed and funded proxies to exploit the situtation.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar were both instrumental in bringing weapons and money to their proxies on the ground, which included the head- chopping Al Qaeda and the even more horrific ISIS, where we were treated to the view of caged women being burned alive. At one point, ISIS established a capital city in Raqqa, and the most common currency there was the Saudi dinar.

Turkey also played a large role in the anti- Assad campaign, buying oil from the jihadists which they had hijacked from Syria, funding its own brand of Muslim Brotherhood/ Turkic forces in Syria's north, and providing tacit and active support for the various jihadists that were slowly being driven into Idlib, just south of Turkey.

We, the USA, had our own hand in Syria. At first the Pentagon funded, armed and trained "Syrian Democratic Forces" in Jordan. Most of them, once armed and trained, decamped to the jihadists. The CIA, less naively, funded and armed jihadists directly.

We -the USA and our minions in international organizations, provided political cover by constantly accusing Assad of mythical outrages ("Assad gased his own people"), even going so far as to have an OPCW rewrite the field investigators' report and giving anti-Assad people media space for our continuing narrative.

We also continuing to pretend that we were backing a "pro democracy" movement even tho its presence on the battlefield was vanishingly small.

Eventually, when the shine wore off that one, we found an acceptable anti-Assad proxy in the form of Kurds, and we- and they- have continued to occupy eastern Syria and its grain fields and oil wells ever since.

******

So, who's who in the zoo today?

Turkye and Qatar are still, and once again funding anti-Assad proxies, SOME OF WHICH ARE STILL EXTREMIST HEAD CHOPPING WAHHABISTS. Turkye by now has a legitimate interest in what's happening in Syria, since is housing appx 3-4 million Sunni refugees who were part of the original attempted jihadist takeover of Syria. In addition, the presence of a large Kurdish contingent on its southern border, which Erdogan considers a terrorist separatist force, is worrisome. Also, Erdogan STILL dreams of recreating an Ottoman empire, and wouldn't mind a bite of Syria.

Israel has an extreme interest in eliminating Assad, because Syria is the transit point for Iranian support of Hezbollah in Lebanon.

We, of course, are onboard with effecting whatever Netanyhau wants.

Aside from furthering the Muslim Brotherhood project (BTW, Hamas is MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD offshoot. At one time, we supported Hamas.) I honestly can't see what Qatar gets out of this, especially since Syria and Iran have close ties and Iran and Qatar have hood relations.

Iran, Russia, and Iraq came out in support of "the legitimate government of Syria" but specifically and pointedly didn't mentioned Assad by name.

Saudi Arabia has been very quiet.

Apparently there have been negotiations going on the the background in Doha, Qatar. Nobody is saying who the negotiators are, but it would have tho be those who could potentially make the most difference:

Turkye, Russia, Iran, possibly Qatar and Iraq. The USA and Israel, which I'm convinced triggered the attack, are staying where they like to be: in the background.

Assad has been a remarkably ineffective leader. Many say that altho he isn't personally corrupt, corruption saturated the leadership of the Syrian armed forces. He never engaged in discussions with Erdogan, which might have relieved some of the pressure from Turkye. Also, he couldn't find a solution to Israel's wanton bombing of Syria.

After its support of Assad, Russia separated its interests, which center on its military bases, from Syria's. So Russia is trying to salvage what it can.

There will probably by some kind of interim Syrian government. Al Qaeda promises to be "diversity friendly" to Shia, Allawite, and (presumably) Christian, Druze, and other religions that Assad had been protecting.

YEAH. WE'LL SEE HOW LONG THAT LASTS.
