Usually there are multiple factors to any conflict. WW1 and WW2 are good examples, where there were converging interests.
Syria is about Sunni vs Shia. It is about Pan-Arabism. It is about Secularism vs religious control. It is about pipelines. It is about Oded Yinon. It is about water.
Zion is private “international” banking. The ((international)) won in WW2. Private international banking has captured the U.S. as a golem.
The petrodollar undergirds Zion. Saudi-Kissinger agreement of 1973 perfectly encapsulates this, as oil (and gas) priced in dollars is the main objective of western international financial interests.
Everything falls apart for our illuminist masters if they cannot control finance, and they need to control the spice.
