Israel is setting the conditions for chaos in Syria, which will undoubtedly result in a resurgence of ISIS/AQ. To prevent this, and to stop all Israeli aggression, the U.S. must restrain the Israelis by cutting off all aid. Israel’s actions are sabotaging U.S. interests in the region, full stop. If Israel conducts attacks in Syria, Sharaa will be forced to either respond & then be targeted by Israel, or face hostility from his base of hardline Sunnis. This is an un-winnable situation for Sharaa, and for us. Let me be clear: I do not support Sharaa nor am I happy to see him in power, or at the White House for that matter. But we put him in power and legitimized his presidency, and now we have to deal with the consequences and navigate the fallout if it goes wrong. If Sharaa gets killed or is militarily challenged, ISIS will come back and the U.S. will get sucked right back into Syria. I remain wary of Sharaa because of his past. But the chaos that will ensue if he is removed is far more dangerous for us now than if he had never been brought to power in the first place.
