The chaos that is likely to consume Syria over the coming two months will cause more harm and danger for Turkey and Israel than for Russia and Iran. Yes, the fall of Assad was a diplomatic blow for both Moscow and Tehran, but managing the emerging security risks presented by an HTS-led government? Those hot turds are now the problem of Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Israel. Russia and Iran can sit back and watch or, through intelligence assets, help stir the pot.

I think Turkey, Israel and the US did this coup. Turkey will get some Syrian land, as will Israel. They both previously stated that they wanted Syrian land. Israel has invaded southern Syria already. The Kurds may take some of the Syrian land to set up their own country. The Alawites might get some land for their own little country. It looks like Hezbollah and Hamas got screwed. Iran still has a direct connection to Russia through the Caspian Sea. I don’t know what will happen to the Russian bases in Syria. I suspect they will lose them. HTS, the outfit that took control of Syria, was formerly known as Al Nusra. And before that it was known as ISIS. All terrorist organizations. But, but democracy.
The Middle East is still feeling effects of the Sykes-Picot agreement one hundred years later. Sad.
Greater Israel has always been the plan. Think of Anglo-America-Israel as one country.
