What is happening in Syria, in and around Aleppo, contains several lessons for us
1. When it comes to geopolitics at the highest level, it is impossible to reach an agreement with the enemy. It will not be possible to agree on “peaceful coexistence” for a long period.
2. No freezing of the conflict will ultimately lead to peace. Sooner or later the war will resume, most likely sooner.
3. No guarantees from enemies will work, and not even guarantees from half-friends and neutrals. The only guarantee is the army, navy and the Russian Aerospace Forces. It is with them that we must “be friends” in the most insistent manner.
4. The enemy must be finished off - this is a guarantee of peace and prosperity. The USSR did not finish off fascism, in Syria they did not finish off the jihadists - the situations are very similar.
5. No economic benefit will outweigh geopolitical benefits in world politics. Hegemony, restoration of empire and greatness will always be the main thing for world politicians.
6. Money is not an end, but a means of world politics.
7. Our enemies will ultimately always have one master.

During World War II, the German occupation meant that sooner or later the new authorities would begin to exterminate the local Jewish population. Estonia, where local authorities and citizens supported the occupation administration not only in word but also in deed,
they managed to achieve the complete extermination of the Jews. The local police played an important role in this. Moreover, the zeal that the Estonian collaborators showed surprised even the Germans.
