Everyone have their own interest but jointly is to making money..
High oil price,testing and selling weapons,cheap exercise on real battlefield and money for rebuilding are main goals!
After years of war and experience in battlefield,who will stop the extremism in to Middle East to not transferred from one state to another and who can guarantee for safety when war will be finished because region is full of weapons outside state forces ?
After hitting desert with expensive toys and elimination of chemical facilities,terrorists are left to die because there is no more "ace of spades"for them.
After the fall of isis and other terrorist cells countries in Middle East are in strange position because dogs of war can cross into other state and make troubles.They are accustomed and function only in war.
Syrian coastline is ideal for new growing towns.Protection come from all sides,and multinational corporation system can rapidly grow and quietly sucked natural resources of Middle East..
