The Syrian Civil War rekindles, and is even more complex than before. The article below is from a Ukrainian newspaper. It states that Ukraine´s intelligence services have been training the rebel forces (many of whom are Islamists) fighting the Syrian army in Aleppo. The Syrian military and the Assad regime are backed by Russia.
But note that the rebels are also sponsored by Turkey, usually seen as an almost-ally of Russia in other theatres! So in Syria, Russia and Turkey are enemies...while Turkey and Ukraine are friends?! To make the situation even more complex, the "SDF" (really the Kurdish YPG or PKK) have attacked Aleppo from the east. But the SDF are anti-Turkish...
Oh, and both Hamas (pro-Turkish/pro-rebel) and Hizbollah (anti-Turkish/pro-Assad) are sponsored by Iran against Israel and the United States.
I wish Marco Rubio and Jared Kushner good luck at their new jobs.
