Syria. Assad is back in the game. Neutral commentary on the Middle East from Poland

Bashar al-Assad won the Syrian Civil War. But the USA won't give up. There are 1000 US troops in Syria, and vicious economic sanctions to hinder Syrians from rebuilding their country. I found this video refreshing because it goes over the situation and recent developments, without toeing the Washington line.

Without watching the video I'm going to say that the reason the other Arab Nations reinvited Assad back into the organization is because they have recognized a balance of power shift between Russia and the us. They now see that Russia is going to keep Syria up and they also were probably under pressure from the US to abandon Assad. But now they feel the US does not have the power against either them or Assad and are probably going back to doing what's in their best interest with the full knowledge that Russia May tacitly support them in certain cases offsetting the US pressure.

The root of the problems in Syria is

Israel.

Israel pushing the US and we do their bidding. Every fucking time.
