    The wild card remains Israel, the neighboring nation the new Syrian government has tried so far in vain to appease.

    are we really re-learning this one?

    Appeasement never works.

      Foreign Policy: Appeasement Is Underrated | Rejecting diplomacy by citing Neville Chamberlain’s deal with the Nazis is a willfully ignorant use of history.

      Not really “appeasement” of course, more “capitulation” - by all indications he’s a plant.

        Genocide is the goal of appeasement?

      tbf Israel essentially destroyed all of Syria’s airforce the moment HTS captured Damascus to ensure that they have nothing to defend themselves with.

      To engage Israel now is a death trap that would also likely get the US involved, which could easily bring the country back into anarchy with a couple of bribes and assassinations.

      Israel is pressing in hopes of a response that they can use as a means of escalation. Syria needs to bite the bullet for the time being and repair the country before tackling Israel.
