In December 2024 when everyone thought the Arab spring in Syria was over, in just a week the long-term regime of the al-Assad dynasty collapsed and today we have a new regime in Damascus. The world and the regional powers have been extremely busy falling over themselves and meeting the new leadership. They are all demanding an inclusive government that respects the rights of minorities.

3 years ago on 24 February 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine, in Europe's first interstate war since WW2. The western world all got behind Ukraine and said they would back the Ukrainians for as long as it takes. But today, 3 years on, much of the world has lost the appetite for supporting Ukraine as Russia continues to swallow up its territory. ‘As long as it takes,’ has now been replaced with Ukraine should cede territory in order to bring the war to an end. In a telephone conversation between President Trump and Putin, Trump agreed that Ukraine should cede territory order to bring the war to an end. Trump's defence secretary went even further in a speech at NATO HQ, he said Ukraine is no longer NATO’s problem, it's Europe's problem. That's quite a U-turn.…
