2024 Syrian opposition offensives - The first Syrian rebel offensive against Government forces since March 2020

[World in Scarlet]

Most Russian allies are jokes or are allies of absolute convenience like N. Korea, India (debatable), and the Stans (even the Stans are hedging their bets with China and even the West now)

The coalition is called "CRINK". China, Russia, Iran, North Korea
Stans are mostly just trying to exist, India supplies ammunition to Ukraine through proxies.

Syria is still stable enough to hold out, provided nobody gets any new toys to play with there... Whatever yappers you keep listening to regarding iran are wrong because the last time I checked they havent done anything even close to a fuckup. And as far as losses go they have an endless supply of kontraktniks to fight.

These things don't happen in a Vacuum. Assads biggest allies, Russia, Iran and Hezbollah have had a very bad year. Hezbollah and Iran in particular. I make no pretension that somehow HTS will be an improvement over Bashar, but its pretty clear Assad is hitched to a sinking ship. Especially if the reports that his army is being routed are accurate.

Incidentally, Drone video of SAA fleeing Aleppo, allegedly.

The way I see it, Russia withdrawing from Syria benefits the following: Russia first, Israel second, and to a lesser degree America. A win-win-win.

According to the warmap

The USA has just bombed Syrian frontline positions in Deir ez-Zur in the east of the country. Its happening.

Iran not having a unified front surrounding Israel will be a win in their book. They can deal with whatever disorganized nonsense that comes out of Assads regime collapsing on its own terms.

Not that difficult of a concept.

Behead westerners. Seriously, what the actual fuck does this mean?

He's a limp wristed leader that somehow maintains his seat through appealing entirely to the elites in his country, and seems to outright hate the common man. Even compared to the area Syria is completely fucked up.

Watch and laugh as millions are displaced once again, as it has been the case every single time in history. If that's your stance I hope you're the first in line to accept them and pay the watermelon seller money for each one of those that crosses into the land of the roach. Not even going to bother explaining what happens to those christians once those "moderate rebels" get their hands on them.

Fuck the displaced. Fuck the Turks too, and fuck the cucked EU for paying the Turks rather than bombing them for flooding Europe with refugees. European globalists allowed this to happen, now they get to reap the benefits.

As for the Christians, they're more than welcome to move back to Lebanon once Hezbollah is all dead. But Muslims and idol-worshipping pagans can go get fucked as far as I care.

According to LiveUA, the jihadis have already overrun Aleppo's city center and are taking photos in front of captured government buildings including the 'municipal palace' (mayor's office?)



Someone with a better memory than I remind me, did they get this far in Round 1 back in 2012-16? I've got to say it's just a wee bit ridiculous seeing the guys who failed to capture that major city in four years of siege back then, take the same city now in like 2 fucking days.

It's because previously Assad heavily relied on Wagner and Russian troops, and now the Russian contingent in Syria is much smaller. Hezbollah and Assadists were useless then and are still useless now.

How long until the chlorine gas gets used?

 

[No. 7 cat]

Russia's only real goal has been stability and forming a bloc with the global south. Oil and gas are just the tip of the iceberg... Rare resources such as lithium, which the Donbas has are the main thing here. And the eurofags didnt, the CIA did.

Russia has already lots of lithium reserves, but these are untapped. A bit more untapped lithium is not worth turning Russia into a economic pyramid scheme who cannot halt the war without economic collapse having lost markets, men and materiel.

Assad has a hard core of highly motivated well armed fellow Alawites (approximately Shia) who best face at best a complete loss of privileges. I don't see Assad fleeing any time soon even if more is likely to fall. The Alawites don't really have anyone else. I guess there'll be a return to the equilibrium of the high civil war. Aleppo was rebel ruled a while back. The rebel's Achille's heel was their fractiousness. Now this might be fixed or not, if the momentum fails.

Nothing to do with image. Hezbollah is now simply no longer capable of attacking Israel, and they were forced to sign an agreement that says Israel can bomb them if even one Arab looks funny towards the Golan Heights.

Why the ceasefire, then? If you've defeated your enemy, why would you stop fighting them and let them hang back and rearm to come back at you at a time most convenient to them? That's what happens every single time, as Russia learned after 2014.

Does it look like Hezbollah got a chance to hang back and rearm? Or did the Turks start fucking them up the ass the moment Bibi pulled out?

Because israel is preoccupied in Gaza and they don't want to commit their already strained army to a full on 1980 style invasion of Lebanon.

The point is that the claim is that Hezbollah is defeated. Were that true, neither a ceasefire, nor an invasion would be necessary. It is no coincidence the Syria thing started immediately after the ceasefire. The resources are being stretched too thin.

I'd use the term "neutered" instead of "defeated." They've been rendered harmless to Israel. Lebanon is no longer on Israel's radar, Israelis in the north are no longer facing Hezbollah attacks, and now Israel can focus on Syria and Iran without interruptions.

All while watching the tattered remains of Hezbollah fall to their own jihadi cousins, sponsored by King Roach himself.

 

[I glow in the dark]

You faggots cheer for a victory (or loss, however you see it) that did not happen yet. Syria was in way worse shape, but it managed. If in six weeks the islamic retards are still advancing, then sure. But now, way too early.

Either way if it stalls fast or not, it's a bigger headache for Assad than in 2012, the difference now and then is Russia is dealing with a much bigger quagmire that would at best end in Janurary (and this is being extremely optimistic that a peace deal that America, Europe, Ukraine, and Russia would all be happy with would actually go through fruition).
