An Israeli official has stated that the country views the resurgence of conflict in Syria as an opportunity for mutual weakening between the opposing factions. Speaking to The Times of Israel, the official commented on recent rebel advances against the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
“Our interest in the renewed fighting is that they continue fighting one another,” the official said. “It’s entirely clear to us that one side consists of Salafi jihadists, and the other includes Iran and Hezbollah. We want them to weaken one another.”
The official emphasized that Israel is not intervening in the conflict but remains vigilant. “We are prepared for any scenario, and we will act accordingly,” they added.

That’s as long as they figjht. But what if isis wins ? This looks like Assad may go all down. That would be scary if Isis wins
America had the same idea before WWII.
Joe Kennedy (of all people) was to meet with Hitler (which obviously didn’t happen) as an official representative of the US & tell him that if he leaves the Jews alone America will stay out of the war.
The thinking was we have a problem with both the Nazis & the Soviets. Let them kill each other for 5, 10, or 20 years & whoever wins will be so weakened that we will be able to easily beat them (militarily, politically, economically, etc.)
