If trump is elected what will happen in syria?

If trump becomes president, which is looking increasingly likely, what will happen in syria? Will he do a deal with putin and effectively give russia control of syria? will he launch a ground invasion?
I'd say the situation is likely to get worse. Trump doesn't seem like the type to strive for a peaceful consensus or solution.

He has already proposed creating a safe zone on the outskirts of Syria for refugees.

He'll totally forget about it.
And what would happen if Hillary Clinton was to be elected. She is a silent snake. Just because, stupidly, Trump flaunts his controversial view on T.V, doesen't make him any worster than Clinton who embeds them inside. Anyway, I reckon he'll probably either send air-strikes, but he has set-up safe zones.

But who is really to blame? They created a conflict in Syria by supporting ARMED opposition. Assad fought them, and he's the bad guy... The same happened with Muammar Gaddafi who was once considered an ally to the West until he wanted a pan-African currency.


Pretty sure Assad had a pretty big role in creating the conflict by brutally suppressing anti government protests, arresting and torturing (and killing) protesters and activists, and comitting massacres. Western countries have supported rebels, but the suggestion that they created the conflict is completely ridiculous. Syria had already descended into war when western countries began supporting rebels.

At the end of the day Sanders is a Jew, and as a Jew, he has Jewish tribal loyalty.

What the hell is this supposed to mean? Jewish tribal loyalty? What?

Sanders is not pro-Israel, he wants a 2-state solution, so saying that he has "tribal loyalty" is idiotic.

Trump is more isolationist than Clinton. He wouldn't launch a ground invasion; that's one of the few things on which he hasn't flip-flopped.
