A quick word on Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Putin's Kremlin.
Strongly worded condescending ultimatums do not work with Vladimir Putin and the Russians, in most ways it only provokes the KGB's old wolf of Leningrad to escalate matters. What many in the West seem to overlook to the aggravation of Russians, is the real and actual concerns about grievous crimes levied against ethnic Russians in Ukraine by Ukrainian Ultra- Nationalists beating their chests like proud Nazis in 1939. In Syria, where Russia has long established naval installations and military relations, the Alawites, Shi'ites Christians and Kurds alike are at risk of being put to bloody slaughter and genocide by not only the Islamic State, but any Sunni-group that may realistically win out the fighting and take control of the Syrian State as a whole. I simply wish that Vladimir would reflect seriously about the harm state-centric ideologies have levied on the people of Ukraine and the so many others affected by Cold War conflict and violence. Mr. Putin needs to decide if his legacy will be one similar to Peter the Great, a reformer bringing Russia towards the Western powers, or one similar to Ivan the Terrible, bringing unbearable suffering and misery to the people. What is realistic, is for Benjamin Netanyahu to convince the Russians to restrict their military operations to the defense of Alawite dominated coastal lands and their Shi'ite and Christian allies in the West of Syria while holding him to his promise not to block an Israeli air strike on Iranian nuclear reactors if necessary to prevent the acquisition of nuclear weapons.
The leading powers of the world, whether with the United Nations or outside of it by treaty, need to explore how stabilizing operations would look, and need to include Russia in the areas where its Naval Bases are prevalent and Assad's minority sect is the majority, as Russia would be logical guarantors against genocide in any political resolution to end the violence, as Turkey and Jordan would likely serve similar roles for the Sunni's with financial support from the Arab League. The US should guarantee the Christians and Kurds in the North East to deconflict with the Turks and the Israelis could use Druzian brigades to protect the Druze in the South West. The US needs to consider how it can create new legal classifications within International law when nations collapse, that allow for neighboring nations to enter, stabilize, addressing both security concerns and address humanitarian crises from displacement, outlining what type of rules may guide actions balancing appropriateness with effectiveness. Clearly these individuals will need to be required to take work assignments, and cooperate with law enforce and intelligence under a defined chain of command, and punished if they do not, and placed under stricter rules than they prefer so that we can be sure they have 3 square meals and a roof with some financial compensation for their participation in the market. UN restrictions on land acquisitions ignore geopolitical necessities in changing world where natural borders have never been frozen in time. The truth is that there are regions in the world where educational attainment is so low, and extreme ideologies so rampant as a result of ignorance and poverty that severe humanitarian, security and immigration related issues ferment unacceptable security threats to there neighbors that can only be mitigated by allowing wealthier and more mature neighbors to intervene and sometimes retain administrative governance indefinitely. By the end of the year we may find ourselves with Syria and Iraq both splitting into three counties, with then the Sunni and Kurdish blocks merging with an Autonomous Kurdish block in the North, a Shi'ite nation in the North East of Iraq, a Alawite-Shi'ite nation on the West coast of Syria and Jordanian and Saudi administered semi-autonomous Arab State in the South East of Syria towards the outer gates of Baghdad. This end result is inevitable, the question is how can the world's powers settle the borders of these countries with minimal violence and be sure that they are governed by responsible actors capable of replacing revolutions with a peaceful and orderly evolution away from chaos and terror states.
