Putin stupidly repeated the mistake  he made with the Minsk Agreement with the Astana Agreement which permitted Washington to maintain illegal military bases in Syria, steal Syria's oil, and route it to Israel via Turkey to fuel Israel's destruction of Palestine. 

The result was a massive strategic defeat for Russia, with its nine-year defense of Syria washed away in a few days.

Now only Iran and Saudi Arabia stand between Israel and Israel's goal of Greater Israel. The Saudis having witnessed Russia and Iran's inattention and inability to act are motivated to reestablish the petrodollar in exchange for American protection. Iran and Hezbollah having pissed away the strategic initiative will be the next to fall. The neoconservative plan to overthrow seven Muslim countries in five years has taken longer than intended but is on its way to success. Trump's military and foreign policy appointees are all anti-Iran and will easily fall in with Israel's agenda as it also serves Washington's intent to control oil flows and waterways.

Erdogan, the president of Turkey, betrayed Muslims and Putin by allying with Washington and Israel in overthrowing Syria, a country that likely will disappear with portions going to Israel, Turkey, and the oil to the US. Netanyahu has already seized the Golan Heights buffer zone in Syria declaring necessity to protect Israel from threats.

The Western presstitutes are delivering the required narrative to control explanations. The US mercenary Arab forces are presented as "the Syrian opposition," and the conflict, over with Assad's departure, is said to have been "a civil war" resulting from Assad's inflexibility and misrule. In other words, the media finds no US/CIA fingerprints in Syria's overthrow. As avoiding Putin's defeat is important to the Russian media, the same story is likely to repeat in the Russian media.
