For months - if not years - those looking at ISIS and Al Qaeda
territory in Syria can see, flowing like a river, their support has
originated in NATO-member Turkey. The most recent Washington Post
article all but admits that is the case, but claims it can only be
stopped by holding Syrian territory. It is clear however, that NATO,
Turkey, and the US possess the ability but intentionally lack the will
to stop this flow before it enters Syria - specifically to create a
pretext to invade.
Russia is already legally operating in Syria, under invitation by the
Syrian government itself. The US has no such authorization from Syria,
or the UN, and its activities in Syrian airspace and on Syrian soil are
illegal. As such, the Russians and their Syrian counterparts have no
obligation to avoid operating in areas the US is attempting to create
defacto "no-fly-zones" and "safe zones" in. Furthermore, could Syria and
Russia marshal further support from a wider front of allies, their own
international force could enter and permanently occupy these areas
targeted by the US to prevent America's illegal occupation.
