If Judas had a brother, it would be Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and if there was a trophy for “the most willing to be used” it would go to leader of Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HST) Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani (birth name Ahmed Hussein al-Shar'a). We are saying this because with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan push for peace for Palestinians in Gaza while he was selling oil to the Israelis on the side; he was able to find a useful pawn in the former Al-Qaeda and Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist, now HST terrorist Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani. According to both corporate and mainstream press and media, the anti-Syrian rebels and other anti-Assad groups “took over “ Syria.
However, if you examine what really happened, you will easily find that former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad wanted and engaged in a peaceful “transition of power” to Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani and the anti-Syrian fighters. Keep in mind a true takeover can only occur if one side puts up a resistance against another. a President attempting to defend their country for a few moments in time against an invader out of a sense of duty doesn’t count; unless they fight to the end or when nothing is left.
So, with former President Bashar al-Assad transferring power to the rebel fighters, the core issue becomes, which armed rebel group is going to fill the shoes of former President Bashar al-Assad? Given what history has taught us regarding Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Somaila, Sudan, and many other countries that find themselves in these types of chaotic conditions, they tend to fail on average. The reason for this is because without a common enemy to fight against, they tend to create an enemy within their collective in order to justify both their egos and actions.

In the case of Syria, between the Kurds, Syrians, Israel, America, Turks, and the various terrorist organizations, the odds are in the favor that no one entity will ever have complete control over Syria. In fact, the only people that will suffer will be the civilians. Even more than that, it would be wise to consider the following questions:
What does Türkiye get out of betraying its closest neighbors?
What does Israel get in return given the fact that they had to push through the north of Syria instead of the south because they couldn’t defeat Hezbollah?
What does the Saudi’s get in return for sending aid to the rebels?
What does the terrorist organization stand to gain in going along with the cabal?
Where does Iran and Russia stand in response to possible future deals with Türkiye ?
Will the BRICS plus nations ever trust President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan or Türkiye as a nation in the future?
Will President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu become the target of revenge attacks and assassinations?
What does America benefit from President Bashar al-Assad voluntarily conceding power?
Another question that’s on the minds of many is how will Russia and Iran counter the situation in the region if they wish to do so at all? With this situation being fresh on the geo-political scene combined with all the variables in play simultaneously, there’s no way anyone can predict with any degree of reliable certainty what's going to ultimately become of the region known as West Asia. However, the one thing that not only us a VEDA Communications, but other geo-political commentators, analysist, and pundits can all agree on, is that the power vacuum that was left by President Bashar al-Assad after he voluntarily conceded power, will be the driving force for even more chaos and instability in Syria and the rest of all of West Asia. Currently, former President Bashar al-Assad is in asylum in Moscow, Russia.
