Reuters ran a story on Friday, Feb. 28 that might have been lost in all the attention paid to the Oval Office ambush: Reuters cited 4 sources speaking on condition of anonymity who said Israel has been lobbying the U.S. to keep Syria weak and decentralized, including by letting Russia keep its military bases there to counter Turkey's growing influence in the country.

Not sure if this is indicative of some kind of geopolitical realignment or something else, but it's worth keeping in mind as we all try to read between the lines of what may be going on behind the scenes.
