"Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy,
And the dogs that bark revolution.
Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks. Long live freedom and damn the ideologies!"
(Robinson Jeffers)
I have long thought of Syria as the 21st-c. equivalent of the Spanish Civil War where Syria is a test bed for every form of vicious, dishonest intervention known to post-Cold War spawn of Satan. Ukraine may be edging into that same category. It's been a real sleeper issue but Heavens to Murgatroyd some of the strangest people can be found under that particular rock.
