So now the big powers Russia and US plus the neighboring states (Israel included) are willing to accept Bashar Assad to stay on as president of Syria. Death and destruction during seven years of ugly sectarian and civil strife. Over half a million deaths divided over both sides, countless wounded and millions seeking refuge beyond the Syrian border. Damages run into $200bn. Europe changed from a moderate continent into a bulwark of right-wing politics. Great show thanks to neocons and Anglo Conservatives. The only reason I hope Brexit turns out for an European Union less likely to follow the warmongering of the US-UK alliance.
