Dont forget Israel too

Israel finally admit it´s participation concerning regime change in Syria and siting publicly with "the moderate rebels" (= al Qaeda). - Can´t be called "conspiracy theory" no more since now.

Israel Is Changing Its Approach to Syria War Amid Assad's Battleground Advances

Russian intervention has tilted the scales, and Jerusalem is concerned of a regime victory, which would be victory for Iran as well. To prevent that, Israeli officials believe West must intervene in favor of moderate rebels.

Good news!

The Russians along with the Syrian Army are doing a fantastic job.

Dictionary definition of hypocrisy. I know Medhi Hassan gets stick for stupid stuff he's said in the past but he did an excellent job there. The Saudi ambassador knows he's bang to rights but doesn't seem to care.

British Collusion with Sectarian Violence in Syria

...In December 2013, it emerged that MI5 had tried to recruit Michael Adebolajo, one of the killers of fusilier Lee Rigby, just a few weeks before his murder. Adebalajo had been on the radar of both MI5 and MI6 for over ten years. He had been under surveillance in no less than five separate MI5 investigations, including one set up specifically to watch him. He was known to have been in contact with the senior leadership of Al Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula, based in Yemen, and he had been arrested in Kenya on a speedboat on the way to Somalia with five other youths, where he was suspected of hoping to join Al Shabaab. The Kenyans were furious when they handed him over to the Brits only for him to be turned loose, presumably to continue with his recruitment activities...

And contrary to popular view, this is not done out of a feeble fear of offending Muslims, this is to cultivate a jihadi mindset with the intention of exporting these types to Syria to help the West overthrow Assad.

If Syrian Kurds take Raqqa

...Like the Iranian forces to Fallujah in Iraq, the possibility of PYD/YPG forces taking Raqqa, the ISIL headquarters in Syria, with American air support is a major concern of Ankara. Taking an Arab city with Kurdish forces who actually openly write in their publications that Raqqa should be a part of the Kurdish region in north of Syria along the Turkish border would be a recipe for deeper antagonism according to Turkish officials...

No, it's the other way around. They were doing that, and it's not the first time they've covertly armed and trained jihadists to pursue their agenda . Unfortunately for them that went wrong when the Russians kicked their arses and they're now on the run, which is why they've engineered this transparent bollocks about Syrian refugees.
Of course these so called refugees include vast numbers of Isis fighters, and their next assignment wll be to Balkanise Europe and the US .

Just in case you needed clarification:

Iraq:- Saddam Hussein decided he wanted to trade his oil in Euros; result:- Iraq & Saddam fucked.

Libya:- Gaddafi decided he wanted a single African currency linked to gold, which he would trade his oil in; result:- Gaddafi and Libya fucked.

Syria:- Assad rejected running a natural gas pipeline through Saudi, Quatar and Turkey, prefering to run it through Iraq,Iran and to the then Russian friendly Ukraine; result:- Syria and Ukraine fucked.

It seems clear to me if you threaten the petro-dollar you are gonna get grief.
