All right, Alexander, let's do an update on what is going on in Syria.

Will the Russian base stay or will it go?

What is the situation in Syria like?

What is Turkey doing with the Kurds?

What did Blinken accomplish in Ankara?

Israel said that they are staying in the Golden Heights and whatever territory

they captured. They're not going anywhere. Meanwhile, Jolani is putting on a, I don't want to say

a suit and tie, but he's ditching the greens, the green fatigues, and he's now wearing a dress

shirt and the blazer. He's also calling on bricks to help him out.

What is going on in Syria?

Well, I think we can frankly disregard Jolani and HDS and all of that,

because as we discussed in our previous program,

Jolani HTS are a phantom.

Apparently, there's a report that the head of Turkish military intelligence came to

Damascus, and Jalani acted as his chauffeur.

So, I mean, literally was driving him around, apparently.

So, you know, it's not as if Jilani has any real power or authority to do

anything in Syria at the moment. He is just there as HTS is there. They're providing the, if you're

like, the paint, the surface paint and everything else that goes on behind the scenes is controlled by Erdogan and by Turkey.

And Turkey currently is in overall control of Syria.

Now, at the moment Erdogan is determined so far as I can see to break the PKK, to break

the, you know, the Kurdish militias. I gather he made it absolutely clear to Blinken.
