Syria has been godfathered by Russia (from the navy base at Tartus) for decades, in alliance too with Iran during the last dozen years or so, thus president Trump might do well to declare vigorous defense of Israel and western Iraq leaving Syria to sort out her national problems, the U. S. disallowing spillover into western Iraq, Jordan, and Israel. Interestingly, Syria is not named among the allies of Russia and Iran in the prophesied battle of Ezekiel 38 & 39, because Syria did not have that name until the founding of Tyre (Tsour/Tsurriya) when the Ice Age had ended, however, the names in the war prophecy are from the Table of Nations of people who lived a millennium previous to the founding of Tyre (“big rock”).
