Ok, it's easy to see how the events in Syria have fallen off
the radar with most folks and even the events in Iraq, events that should be
getting far more coverage than they are, are not rising to the occasion of even
minimal concern.
Most of this can be attributed to the very short attention
span the West notoriously has.
If Dancing with the Stars is on, who cares about a potential
conflict in Europe again!
After two weeks of daily live reporting, even the events in
the Ukraine
seem to have lost interest with the people of the West.
From Assad's standpoint this couldn't have come at a better
time, not to mention Hezbollah and their continued missteps in Syria .
If you've not paid attention, and most haven't, the might
Hezbollah Warriors have been getting their forth point of contacts handed to
them in their battle for the city of Yabrud .
So, are things going just the way Assad would like them?
With all eyes on the Ukraine , does Assad have yet
another green light for killing on a massive scale?
Yes he does, but it's not doing him any good.
Last week there were serious rumors of a "second
front" opening to the South of Damascus.
Are these rumors true... do they have any merit?
Two answers.
1. The people in the
West don't seem to know or care.
2. You can bet Assad
and this puppet masters in Tehran
think it's true!
With the ever less attending eyes of the West gazing towards
the Ukraine ,
the simple fact of the matter is Assad is still losing ground.
Yabrud, a predicted easy takeover for Assad's forces and
Hezbollah, has become an entrenched battleground.
If a GCC backed, supported "second front" is about
to open, the West may be far more willing to ether turn a blind eye or even
support the concept given the anger that is brewing over the Tsar's actions in
the Ukraine.
I stated three weeks ago, the Ukraine would turn into a "tit
for tat" event.
If the Tsar is getting his way in the Ukraine , then put the pressure on his vision in
the Middle East .
How easy would this be?
Well, it would be far more amenable to the people of the US and Europe than the idea of an open
confrontation over Ukraine .
Finally, as I have said before, here is the most dangerous
thing about labeling someone as a "pushover"... the way the Tsar
seems to look at President Obama.
Often when you push someone too far, that person finally
decides to lash out and that is usually an ill planned poorly executed event.
If the President of the US
is growing tired of hearing, one, he cannot afford to do anything tangible
about the Ukraine ..
words from his own party... and two... He is failing as a world leader... the
concept his political rival party is
putting out there..... then he may be demanding "options"!
Options come easy in the Middle East
and some of those options might even help win back some of the trust he has
lost with the GCC.
The Crimean may slide into the Russian camp, but the times
may be about to get much harder for the Eye Doctor in Damascus .
Oh ya... did I mention the STL trials are finally underway
in Lebanon ?
Does anyone remember what the STL?
I know... I know... Dancing with the Stars is on!!
Keep your eyes on the Middle East and lets see if the West /
the US is about to show the
Tsar there is a price to pay for Crimea that is not going to be paid in Europe .
