This is what Turkey is eyeing.
They back the al Qaeda terrorists taking over Aleppo, Syria so they can eventually swoop in and “govern” them.
For the Turks, Aleppo is another step towards their neo-Ottoman dream.
Aleppo will likely fall before midnight.
It's not a reason to celebrate, regardless of how much I hate Bashar Assad.
There are ISIS signs everywhere among these advancing militias. Christians, minorities and ancient heritage are about to suffer.
Syria is such a tragic mess.
No, seriously.
If Bashar Assad's regime collapses, the entire power dynamic of the region shifts. Khamenei will quickly lose his Axis, and the IRGC will shrink in size and influence.
This will ultimately weaken the regime in Iran and make it easier to overthrow the mullahs.
Unfortunately, we might also see a fanatical sunni "caliphate" rise in Syria, with minority groups wiped out and more even more tragedy. This depends on which faction comes out on top there, since they greatly vary in how extreme they are.
Dangerous, fast moving times.

Be very careful who you cheer for in Syria.
Bashar al-Assad is evil. So are many of his enemies. The whole country is a mess, and the enemy of our enemy is not always our friend.
