Today Omar Hassann Fariñas, Professor of International Relations sheds light on the confusing situation in Syria. He outlines local, regional and global actors and stresses the global context of a new non-ideological cold war for power and influence. Russia is trying to show the US that they are not the owners of the planet. The US is trying to convince everyone that they are. Syria is the battleground. What kind of Syria would the U.S. like to see? One that is willing to do anything to please Tel Aviv and fight extremist groups --except those the US needs to Balcanize the region. teleSUR
