Donald Trump says that Turkey is behind this revolution. If we did it probably means that the US + D. Trump was absolutely aware of the situation too. This in turn means that there will probably not be a second Libya like situation. Since Iran + Russia have simply been kicked out of the region as well. Here is yesterday’s briefing of the U.S. President at Mar-a-Lago:
I went to Syria in the second half of the 90’s at the time of the father of Bashar-al-Assad. No one liked the regime but at that time it was a common type of regime in the Arab world. People had some sort stability and the country was not in a very bad situation either. Now that reality has shifted. It might be a very good idea if everyone (everyone except Russia / Iran and ISIL) decide to work together and try to give some stability to all those Syrians. Because it’s not only about us. Turkey has accepted between 3 and 5 million refugees during the civil war. Germany has accepted over 1 million. 7 million were displaced inside Syria. 3-4 million have fled toward countries other than Turkey or Europe (like Lebanon, Egypt or Iraq).
So I am not completely pessimistic about the new term of D. Trump. He seems to be serious in promoting peace in Ukraine as well. My hope is that he may get along very well will all those strong-men like Erdogan, Netanyahu and even Putin.
I’m not comforted by the thought of a US President who ‘may get along very well’ with authoritarian thugs.

Me neither but sometimes that’s the only thing that works. Mrs. Meloni for instance is the only one who is calling out Putin openly for his strategy of flooding Europe with migrants.
