up to the hard fact that their war to topple the Syrian government and president has failed, defeated crucially by Russia, and they must now withdraw - eventually - after emptily declaring that their - alleged - war-aims have been achieved; this bollocks to pacify their home audiences. Dmitry Orlov puts such manoeuvrings more succinctly: Invade illegally, smash things up and kill lots. Take a cumulative pasting from the local opposition. Fail spectacularly to achieve any sort of victory. Declare victory anyway, and leave, offering no reconstruction help to their victims, unless US corporations can profit mightily from it (That is: yet another route to funnel US taxes to the one-percenters).
