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

My new hot take is that the US and Israal went along with Erdogan's Syrian adventure thinking it would bog Russia down defending Assad in another bloody civil war. Instead Russia didn't take the bait, Assad just said fuck it you can have the whole thing, noped out quietly and now the West completely owns this big steaming pile of shit. Again.
This isn't your hot take, it is the methodichka you lifted from social media.
Is it physically impossible for you to not be dishonest?

Also:
Why were there Russians in Syria? What were they doing there?
Surely they weren't intervening in a Civil War.
Unless they were baited into doing this exact thing in the past?

Of course it cannot be the case that Russia is a hollowed out shell of what it was 10 years ago and does not have the resources to even bomb the rebels anymore. That would be incompatible with your fantasy world.
 
Summary of the IDF's activity:
The Israeli military says it carried out strikes against 320 "strategic targets" in Syria since the fall of the Assad regime over the weekend, destroying advanced weaponry Israel fears could fall into the hands of hostile elements including Hezbollah.

The name of the operation to destroy the former Assad regime army's weapons is dubbed in the IDF "Bashan Arrow," after the biblical name for the region in the Golan Heights and southern Syria.

The military estimates that it has taken out over 70% of the former Assad regime's strategic military capabilities.

The strikes began late Saturday, first taking out Syrian air defenses to give the Israeli Air Force more freedom.

According to the military, the 320 targets were struck across all of Syria, from Damascus to Tartus.

The targets destroyed in the strikes included Syrian air defense systems, missile depots, manufacturing facilities, drones, helicopters, fighter jets, tanks, radars, navy vessels, and more, according to the IDF.

The Syrian navy vessels were destroyed last night in a large-scale operation carried out by the Israeli Navy.

The military says the missile depots destroyed in the strikes included long-range projectiles, Scud missiles, cruise missiles, coast-to-sea missiles, and others.

The IDF also targeted several chemical weapons sites in Syria during the waves of strikes, Israeli officials have said.

Following the fall of the Assad regime, the IDF has said that it is tracking advanced weapons in Syria and working to prevent them from reaching Hezbollah or any other hostile force that could threaten Israel.

Meanwhile, the IDF says it continues to be deployed to the buffer zone between Israel and Syria in the Golan Heights, on the Syrian side of the border, as part of Operation Bashan Arrow.

The IDF has stressed that its deployment to the buffer zone is a defensive and temporary measure amid the chaos in the country following the fall of the Assad regime, but it may end up staying there for a long time depending on the developments.

The military says it will not get directly involved in incidents in Syria and it is only carrying out defensive operations.

Are you unwell? Is there someone we can call for you?
 
The USA has atomic warheads small enough to fit on a bitch-basic cruise missile with a yield just as much, if not more than what we dropped on Hiroshima
Yeah the W80, which is the nuclear warhead for the Tomahawk cruise missiles and is a variable yield of 5-200kt. In this context, "variable yield," aka "dial-a-nuke," means that without changing the physical warhead, settings can be changed to set the yield to a certain number before launch. The B61 gravity bomb, the most common nuclear weapon in US service, is also a variable yield. For context, Little Boy, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, had a yield of between 13-15kt.

The other, more important reason for the IRNFT is that maintaining a nuclear stockpile of 20,000+ warheads is comically expensive, and the more nukes deployed, the higher the risk of a broken arrow, or, God forbid, a nucflash.

Yeah, but if the Russians are out and doing whatever, especially with Putin deciding to show off Oreshnik... all bets are unfortunately off.
 
So how fucked are all the Christians in Syria rn? I remember hearing a long time ago that Syria was one of the few places in the region where they weren't actively persecuted. Idk how true that is but if it is I hope they're able to get the hell out.
 
For all the shit Israel gets and all the /pol/ dick sucking. I would rather live under 1,000 Israels than a Sunni government. At least the Israelis don't shoot you in your bed.
The Jews deserve all the bad karma they have coming to them. However the Muslim dicksucking has been shown to be utterly pathetic. Muslims and the Arab world are absolute garbage & people on the Right should cease supporting them now.

Sunni/Salafist types are the lowest scum on the planet. Shrieking about the Jews while ignoring these scum is the height of retardation. Hopefully this "based muslim" myth has finally been destroyed after this debacle.
