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

I've found a more fitting flag for the SAA in light of their performance in this past week & a half, by which they've surely immediately dethroned the ANA, AFDRA, ARVN and probably even Saddam's 2003 army as well as the 2014 Iraqi Army for the title of 'worst modern state military'.

Honestly, if Al-Jolani turns out to have been taqiyya'ing about going as woke as an Islamist could and imposes a Sunni theocracy + the Lebanese Christians finish off Hezbollah since Israel buckbroke the latter, Syria's remaining Christians should really just move to Lebanon for their own safety. Maybe do a population exchange with most or all of the Lebanese Sunnis while they're at it. Don't just make Lebanon Christian again, make it into the #1 Christian redoubt in the Middle East, they could seriously use one.

(As an aside, Syria is directly responsible for fucking over the Christians in Lebanon and causing their decline over the past four decades, which is why even at my most SAA-friendly days and in spite of the rhetoric about how they're the last hope for Syrian Christians I could never bring myself to truly like Assad. Syria progressively occupied Lebanon after its civil war got going, an SSNP nigger who was almost certainly on Assad Sr's payroll (and certainly protected by him) assassinated the strongest Christian leader in 1982 when he was coming close to finally winning said civil war - that's one fag I do hope HTS finds & tortures to death - and they ended up crushing the main Christian coalition & massively empowering Hezbollah in their bid to permanently occupy & annex Lebanon, 'Greater Syria' being a longtime dream of Syrian ultranationalists including the Assads.)
 
He had been fighting a war of survival for over half his time in office. He wasn't ever able to decisively win, he was on the west's permanent shitlist, and Russia and Iran no doubt made it clear his survival depended on kowtowing to them forever, while completely ostracized from the rest of Arab Street.

I can totally believe he just decided it wasn't worth it anymore-so long as his family got to safety, he wanted out.
Why wouldn't he just resign to his own forces then? Why surrender to the enemy?
 
If you consider putting a former leader of ISIS in charge of a country a win, sure its a NAFO tranny W.
I am sure that it all makes sense in their HRT addled brains, and is real in their minds. ANYTHING that they think makes Putler big mad is good, and a victory and means that Ukraine is just two more weeks from total victory. What a little bit of hopium does to these MFs.
Considering NAFO troons are literally yass queening ISIS and other islamic extremists, yeah it is a W for them unfortunately.
I just saw them all taking a victory lap on the usual NAFO homo YT channels, so I made a sarcastic comment. Side benefit are all the NAFO trannies ITT giving me seething ratings. It's and interesting universe that they live in, but most of them aren't even American and barely even human.
 
Yup, escaped former nazis helped create the arab extremist/terrorist movements from the beginning. Hell, hey were the friends of he nazis before and throughout WW2.
You're combining two things into a single event.

Extremist Islam as we understand it is more or less the child of Wahhabi Islam, which is supported by the Saudis, as in the Saud family. The reason the Sauds have the power they do is partly because T.E. Lawrence, of Lawrence of Arabia fame, was sent by the British to make inroads with the non Turk tribes in the Ottoman Empire and work with them to destabilize it. After the war was over, most of the area was carved up by France and Britain.

In World War 1 2: Tokyo Driftaloo, the Arabs that disliked colonial rule were drawn to the rhetoric of the Axis, and developed this Arab nationalist idea that became Ba'athism. The evolution and spread of Arab nationalist was directly influenced and supported by the Axis.

In conclusion, both Islamic fundamentalist extremism and Ba'athism are the result, at least in part, to European meddling, but are the result of different interventions by different ideologies and countries.

His own forces are just as likely to Matryr him as the enemy if they think he's giving up. Arguably more likely, as Allie Jay seems like he'd want to at least run a show trial, Saddam style.

Russia isn't his enemy, and Turkey is... well its complicated but they benefit from him slinking off into dishonorable exile vs. being any sort of martyr figure for opposition to their opposition to rally behind.

Assad met with Putin.

Putin informed him that he was going to allow Syria to be thrown to the wolves to save the west some face when Ukraine formally yields a good chunk of their land to Russia.

For allowing that to happen, Assad got assurances he will get to live in exile instead of getting the Gaddafi special.
I don't know where you ziggers are getting this cope, but Russia looking like a bitch on the world stage isn't going get them a better seat at the negotiating table.

This isn't some 28D Chess play, this is Russia lacking the ability to force project in time to save Their Guy™.

The government forces hadn't made any significant gains since 2015 despite uncontested air dominance because they were arabs. Russia lacked that conflux of "ability" and "will" to beable help them enact the needed genocide to clear out the rebels, and anything Iran did provided a pretext for Das Juden to launch airstrikes.
this was the inevitable outcome given the state the loyalist forces had degraded to.

The big difference between this and Afghanistan was that NATO had washed its hands of Afghanistan months before the fall. There was never any question about the fact Kabul would stand or fall on its own merits with limited to no external support.
there was shock that they collapsed so quickly, especially since the actual negotiated withdraw date had come and gone without much beyond the normal slapfighting. But the US wasn't going to go back in to save Ghani.
 
That's not him that's just some random guy getting hanged in daraa. I'm pretty sure he's actually been missing since 2022 after he was released from prison for murder and committed murder again. Maybe they found him and the death story is true, but this video is not of him.

Lawrence didn't really interact with the Saudi, he interacted with Faisal of the Hashemites who are the ruling family of Jordan. The person you're thinking of is Gertrude Bell.
 
What would be the point of impeaching a President with just under 2 months left in office?
To remove the braindead codger retard that keeps approving foreign escalations, AFTER there was an electoral mandate against such actions, so that he can no longer so such things. Not sure that VP Kackles would do any different, as she is just a sock puppet like Biden.
Everything is Impeachable, and nobody actually gives a shit about these places, it's just a rhetorical weapon.
True, however I was thinking more the actual spirit of the law of impeach and remove for criminal actions, and not just because one side is obstructive sore losers.

Interesting. It did look like him from the old article and he's (rightly) despised even by his own side for being the standard corrupt abusive princeling-thug who uses his nepotistic connections to get away with being a cunt (up to & including murdering generals on his side) so it wouldn't have surprised me that he got killed even in a former Assad loyalist bastion like Latakia, but I too have just started reading people mentioning this was 'probably' from Daraa instead. I'll have to go back & edit my old post.
 
Looks to me like he was dead before they started the crane. You know how much sand niggers love their corpse desecration.
