Assad to victory in the Syrian conflict
The most natural development for the Syrian conflict appears that will see the assertion of Assad and then her stay in power. The
natural allies of the Syrian dictator: Russia, Iran he Lebanese
Hezbollah, adding, though implicitly also the Member States, which have
now identified Assad as the lesser evil compared to the Islamic state,
whose defeat remains l ' main objective of Washington. So
while the regular army in Iraq, supported by the Shi'ite and Kurdish
fighters on the ground, and backed by the US Air sky, you start recovery
of lost territory, the White House is developing a joint action with
Russia to eliminate even the Islamic fundamentalists by the Syrian country. It
is clear that those who will benefit from this development will mainly
Assad, who will bring back under its sovereignty zones falls under the
domain of religious extremism, which, in addition to the caliphate, also
includes other groups, such as Al Nusra Front, closely linked to Al Qaeda and the Army of Islam and other groups, which initially enjoyed the support of their US. The US goal is to get a partnership with Moscow in order to synchronize the actions. This
should be the decisive attack to free the country from Syrian Islamist
rebels, to the detriment of the Gulf countries and Turkey, who had
supported them, with the clear intention to extend their influence over
the Syrian town; but
it will not go well: Assad is intended to maintain power, even if
American participation to military intervention will force a peace deal
which could see the current occupant of the highest office in Damascus
properly make some concessions towards democracy to population. The
permanence of Assad, however, seems to be the most pleasing solution to
Israel, which, albeit in the context of a formal enmity with the Syrian
regime had informal relations of non-aggression, which can allow
control of its northern border. But
not only will the regime in Damascus to emerge victorious from the war,
the Kurds, who have contributed substantially to the containment and
the defeat of the caliphate in Syria, where they have gained significant
portions of land must also be considered, those already inhabited by
the same Kurds before the conflict. Thanks
to this direct engagement, which will not be recognized, the Kurds
could come and enjoy greater autonomy, as happens in Iraq, or aspire to
build a sovereign national entity. This development worries Turkey, which fears a union with the Kurds on their territory. This
part of the definition of the end of the conflict appears as one of the
most difficult to solve, especially in the political and diplomatic
arena, but without a definitive solution could turn into further
conflict. Everything
will depend on the attitude of the US and Russia, and by the same
Assad, who might sell parts of Syria in an official manner right at the
Kurds, in retaliation against Ankara for the support provided to the
Islamic state. It
seems clear that Turkey fears this possibility and has changed its
diplomatic attitude with several nations with which it had entered into
conflict. In
fact, were re-established, even oper economic reasons, relations with
Russia deteriorated after felling by Ankara of a Moscow military plane,
then they are Reconnect relations with Israel and with Egypt, actions
that have allowed the Erdogan regime out of isolation in which he was placed because of its policy that tried to be expansionary. Including
to the caliphate's attitude it has already changed for some time due to
US pressure, a factor that has, however, contributed to become the
turkish country a target of the Islamic State attacks. The
region, and prepares new structure, even if the times will not be short
to end the conflict and to normalize the situation and, at that point,
it will be interesting to see, what will be the actual location of Assad
on the international stage, that is, if you will still room for maneuver or autonomy and whether it will be hostage to other countries, such as the Russians.
