We are told the Syrian peace talks will proceed as scheduled. At the same time, Vice President Joe Biden says the U.S. is ready to impose a military solution in Syria. According to this American official, a political settlement is not essential. With this kind of loose rhetoric a U.S.-Russia conflict in Syria just became more likely ... CrossTalking with Pepe Escobar, Dan Glazebrook, and Philippe Assouline.
This excellent discussion explains that the conflict in Syria is a Proxy War and that foreign powers have been involved from the start. These outside countries intervened because of oil interests and for geopolitical reasons - not to 'overthrow an unjust dictator'.
In the opening minutes it was pointed out that recent US threats of direct intervention ('to fight ISIS')will only embolden the extremists and undermine any real negotiations that would have them removed (back to their respective countries of origin). Many extremist fighters will want to fight US forces while others in their leadership will recognise that the US is one of their sponsors and that the real target is the Syrian Arab Army.
It is also pointed out that many in the Syrian Arab Army are Sunnis, and that to characterise the war as simply a Sunni-Shia split is wrong.
Presently Russian intervention is helping the Syrian Government destroy extremist proxy forces on the ground which has led to renewed US attempts at escalating their own overt role in the war (beyond their limited bombing campaign).
Pepe Escobar points out that the current Syrian Army advance is aimed at taking back the important non-desert urban/industrial regions and oil areas of the country - which can be seen on campaign maps appearing in sources such as South Front videos.
Another point everyone should consider is that the migrant/refugee crisis in Europe is a direct result of this criminal foreign-power intervention in Syria, and in Libya.

Joel Skousen: Some of the Paris Shooters Were White Guys Escaping in a Black Mercedes
Coast To Coast AM - December 1, 2015 Cyber Attacks & Geopolitical Conspiracies
In the first half, former anchor and managing editor of ABC News Nightline, Ted Koppel, revealed that a devastating cyberattack on America's power grid is not only possible but likely and that the United States is shockingly unprepared. There are some 3200 separate electric companies in the US, and while some of the bigger ones have taken precautions against cyberattacks, they are interconnected in a grid via the Internet with some of the smaller, less protected companies, he explained. The Internet wasn't really designed for a defense system to be imposed upon it, and in the pre-Internet days the electric power industry was much less vulnerable, he pointed out.
A sophisticated cyberattack could take out all or part of a grid, knocking out power for weeks or even months for millions of Americans in a worst case scenario, he warned. While the Chinese and Russians are the most capable of such an attack, because of their interlocking interests with America, it's more likely that a country such as North Korea or terrorist group like ISIS would mount an act of cyberwarfare against the US, he said. People in cities will be particularly hard hit in a long power outage, as running water/toilets will cease to work, and this could lead to a health crisis, he noted. One sign of progress is with "micro grids" (localized grouping of electricity sources) which have started to appear in some rural areas, Koppel reported.

In the latter half, political scientist Joel Skousen addressed how events in the Middle East could be a prelude to WWIII, and that various geopolitical conspiracies and strategies are behind events, attacks, and terrorism. According to Skousen, the US instigated Turkey's shoot down of a Russian fighter jet as a way to collect military intelligence. Russia deployed its more advanced defense technology in the wake of the attack, such as the S-400 anti-aircraft missile, and "you can bet the US will be eavesdropping every time they turn on their radar, every time they turn on their electronics, and they can figure out exactly what the Russians have," he said.
Skousen contends that ISIS started as a US/British intelligence operation, and that their terrorism videos are obviously staged. There is a massive globalist conspiracy to take away our liberty, by buying into the phony war on terror, he continued. He believes the ultimate act of terror will be a nuclear attack on an American military site. Russia's intervention blocked the globalist agenda in Syria, and embarrassed the US by showing it hadn't been effectively targeting ISIS, he continued. Skousen characterized the Paris attacks as a "false flag" operation, citing that none of the suicide bombers were religious, and that some of the shooters at the restaurant/bar were white guys escaping in a black Mercedes-- "obviously mercenaries hired as hit men."
