Thanks for this straightforward explanation of the geopplitics involved, something absent in corporate media and even most other coverage.

How long did the euphoria over the fall of the Assad last? 48 hours? I amused myself by watching the reporting on Swiss TV and it was shockingly naïve. They actually compared the fall of the Assad regime with fall of the Iron curtain and talked about how this could be a new dawn for Syria. Two days later, we know the truth: Germany, Austria, and other European countries have decided or are considering sending back all Syrian refugees while Israel is bombing the country back to the Stone Age. The ugly truth is this: nobody cares about the Syrian people, many desire Syrian resources. The world seems to be entering the Age of Genocide; poor people standing in the way of resources will simply be eliminated. Is this the world we want to live in?
