IF Cohen was dirty and if Shields (42nd floor) was his childhood friend is it possible that Cohen had critical info stowed away with Shields and he had better get out (WITH THE INFO) before the Secret Service got there?
Israel is aligned with the western Sunni (SA, etc).
Iran and Russia have long been allied with the Alawites of Syria.
Yemen is a proxy war between SA and Iran.
These are complicated circumstances BUT it is TURKEY who invaded, and basically annexed, Idlib, Syria because they were stopping the evil Kurds.
You remember the Iraqi Kurds, the same group that allied with us to subdue the insurgency in Iraq. The same Kurds who were killing ISIS in Syria until Turkey stepped in.
Turkey was the country that was accepting ISIS oil. They were directly funding ISIS and profiting off of it at the same time.
And on and on
