Thank you so much, Vanessa, for this sober and thoughtful assessment of the current situation in Syria, the background and prognosis. I really appreciate your steering us clear of all the social media sensationalism that has poured out over the last few days. Psy-op in deed. We need more level heads like yours in this arduous struggle against the pernicious forces of imperialism and zionism.

In the face of all the (deliberate) misinformation and confusion about what is happening in Syria, this analysis was very helpful. Fortunately, in the two days since this came out, the significant involvement of Russia, Iran and Iraq seems to be making a significant impact.

Loved the backhanded "compliment" to Erdogan - 'He may be a Mafia Warlord but (at least) he's not as psychotic as the Zionists are'. Well, take your blessings where you can get them, I suppose. Erdogan, I think, may just have hoisted himself with his own petard. Whatever credibility he has had with anyone may well be evaporating before the eyes not only of the resistance, the world, the BRICS, but particularly of his own electorate.
