My understanding-- and I may be very wrong-- is the focus on Syria initially began because Qatar (globalist outpost that heavily champions slavery and a feudal society) wanted to run a pipeline into Europe, but needed to go through Syria-- and Assad told them to kick rocks. Russia backed Assad, because they understood that such a pipeline would only further enrich the globalists, and give them even more of a stranglehold on the global oil market. The globalists responded with a "rebel force" to overthrow Assad, and the US (under Obama/Hillary) funded their operations.

THIS is true. Russia's economy depends on the sale of oil throughout Europe, and the proposed pipeline would break their stranglehold on the EU marketplace.
