I forwarded what I thought was an interesting article. I didn't expect to get challenged by Robert Naiman. He forwards tons of stuff I disagree with but I almost never challenge. He asked me for my opinion on the agreement between Russia and the USA. If there is anything I have made clear on my blog articles that I have sent links to here, it is that these two imperialisms both have a deep interest in maintaining the basic status quo in Syria. Assadism without Assad. As someone who has been involved with the left for 49 years, this had the same effect on me as sipping some milk that had soured. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
