⚡️Atlantic Council: A blueprint for bringing about a new Syria

A reminder to all, the Atlantic Council is effectively the unofficial think tank for NATO.

Some very interesting points in the article. First, of course, all the usual (and obligatory) platitudes about change and democracy.

But later, while never expressing it in exactly these terms, the very Atlantic Council itself, seems to ascribe to the reality that we have, in fact, transitioned to a multipolar world!

Their plan, the "reconstruction blueprint" as they call it, must be multinational:

When it comes to planning for the country’s reconstruction, the international community has a lot of new leverage in the wake of Assad’s flight. No entity will be able to effectively run the country without near-total dependence on foreign aid. Using that leverage to make sure the reconstruction of Syria unfolds more successfully than Iraq’s or Afghanistan’s should be the next priority.

If that isn't a recognition of the reality of a multipolar world, where America cannot do it alone, I don't know what is! And please note, Russia would be included in the must have countries for the reconstruction.

Of course, they say America must lead, this is NATO talking, they couldn't say otherwise. Nonetheless, we might consider this a small milestone on the long road to a new world order.
