Seven years after the attempted "regime change" by a group of founding members of the UN, and certain other neighboring and non neighboring countries, on a sovereign state, and founding member of the UN, Syria, the country is totally trashed, estimated rebuilding at $ 300B, estimated 400,000 dead and millions of refugees, it's still not over, the northern part of the country still needs to be recaptured.
Ironic that a "raison d'etre" of the new UN created after WW2 or so was to prevent this sort of thing happening, !
" Mohammed al-Douri, PhD, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Iraq to the United Nations at the time of the quote, stated in an Oct. 17, 2002 New York Times Op-Ed titled "Iraq States its Case":
"The United Nations was created in 1945 to provide a forum for nations in conflict to come together to work out their disagreements. It was designed expressly for the purpose of making the use of force an absolute last resort."
The Battle in the South of Syria is coming to an end: Israel bowed to Russia’s will.

After only two weeks since the beginning of the military operation, jihadists and militants in most of eastern rural Daraa in south Syria have either surrendered or were overwhelmed, the over 70 villages they occupied were liberated by the Syrian Army. Meanwhile, Israel has reduced its requests or conditions pronounced in the last two weeks: from launching threats against the approach of the Syrian Army towards the South, to menaces if Damascus pushes forces beyond the 1974 demarcation line and the disengagement agreement between Syria and Israel. This clearly means all players (the US, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia) have dropped the jihadists and militants they were training and are turning their back on them: they are now on their own.
For over seven years, Israel has invested intelligence, finance, military and medical supplies in these jihadists and their allies. On many occasions, Israel has said it prefers the “Islamic State” to Iranian forces on the borders. Many times, Israel showed images of jihadists – including those fighting under the flag of al-Qaeda – in Israeli hospitals, recovering from wounds inflicted during their clashes with the forces of Damascus. Today, it is clear that Israel’s intentions have been defeated when it can announce that for the Syrian army to cross the 1974 disengagement line it means crossing red lines. Israel is crying in the wilderness because the Syrian army has the intention and means to defeat all jihadists and militants who received supplies from foreign countries. It has never crossed Syria’s mind to start a new war with Israel before the Syrian territory (in the north) is liberated.
