I do not believe much in long term plans. It feels like America is simply going through the motions and people adapt as they go along.
A great example was Isreal trying to expell all Palestinians into Egypt but that did not work out and now Israel is stuck in genocide limbo.
But Syria they saw Assad fall and quickly adapted to steal a lot of land. Likely not planned but simply opportunistic. Everyone adjusts their plans along the way and the end result is what it becomes of it.
I don’t think this is a really sophisticated plan to be honest. The US openly expressed displeasure about Nord Stream, and Biden openly said he’d put and end to it which he did. Starting a war with Russia and using it to whip up bloc discipline in the west is really just dusting off the Cold War narrative. It’s just a return to the status quo.
Things in West Asia are indeed a lot more dynamic, and I do think there’s a lot of opportunism going on right now. That said, it does seem like Turkey and Israel planned and coordinated their attack on Syria. Notice how their proxies aren’t fighting each other, and they’re both grabbing territory without stepping on each other’s toes.
