Josh Cohen, Reuters: What a Russian 'win' in Syria would look like
As Russia's bombing campaign in Syria drags on, a number of commentators have suggested that President Vladimir Putin's bold move could drag Russia into an Afghan-style quagmire. This negative outcome is far from guaranteed, however, and Putin holds more cards than his critics realize. Russia may well achieve its core military objectives in Syria — while the United States cannot.
Here's how Putin might achieve his ideal outcome in Syria.
To start, a key strength of Russia's Syrian military strategy is its simplicity. Today the Russian bombing campaign seeks only to stabilize the Syrian regime's lines around the key corridor running north from Damascus through Homs and Hama. This approach provides breathing space for Assad, and allows his regime to implement its long-mooted Plan B — a rump state centered on the Alawite heartland along the Mediterranean coast. While it's unclear whether the Assad regime can re-conquer large portions of Syria, the rebels are now on the defensive and the regime has stopped losing crucial pieces of territory.
WNU Editor: Josh Cohen's analysis would have been spot on 2 months ago .... but the geopolitical dynamics of this conflict are now changing to a degree that even Putin probably thought would never in his wildest dream happen. Case in point .... since the start of the Russian - Syrian campaign it has become clear to many outside observers that U.S. strategy is in utter disarray. This was further reinforced from yesterday's U.S. Senate testimony from US Sec. of Defense Carter and from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dumsford .... U.S. Defense Secretary: The U.S. War Against The Islamic State Will Intensify. Recommends U.S. Ground Forces To Be Deployed. In this confusion America's traditional allies are bailing out .... America Is Losing Its Allies In The Middle East, and who are they running to .... you guess it .... Russia. In a certain way Putin has already achieved his initial goals .... and then more.
KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !
