Our desire to bring what's dark into the light will overcome
Yes it will just not in the way you and people like Assad, Russia, Turkey envision it. For them yes we are going to change the way people think and experience things....the very people who've for hundreds of years have been denied from experiencing the tranquility and fortunes afforded to others on the basis of their beliefs.
There was never any easy answers here Caitlin, answers that for decades have been long overdue. When the decision making has always been skewed advantageously then as Trump said about the YPG the other day, it was time for an attitude adjustment....in my opinion these current arrangements, whether you, Assad, Russia or Turkey like them, it is their new attitude adjustment and it's about finding solutions that have been broken for a long, long time now. Everyone is swallowing part of the bitter pill right now.
I've been saying this for quite some time now and the fact we are seeing very little resistance going on here sort of confirms what I've been saying. The US could have never been on both sides of the fence in finding resolve to these issues. It was crucial Russia played the big bad wolf on the other side. This kind of cooperation between two major forces in the world to find a resolve is historically unheard of. Though the media has never painted it that way underneath it all, in my opinion, is exactly what's being drawn out here.
Baby steps, patty slapping that leads to attitude adjustments is way better than watching people continue on hating and genocide that has stood for thousands of years.
You take that part and see what you can do with it and I'll take this part and see what I can do with it....just maybe one day, hopefully, fingers crossed, we'll see the light at the end of the tunnel.
