Russia bombed the rebels, together with the Syrian Air Force they were killing 200+ a day which would have mattered in a long war. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/syrian--russian-forces-eliminate-terrorist-units-in-coordina
“Over the past day, aircraft of the Russian armed forces and the Syrian air force carried out missile and bombing strikes on places of militants’ accumulation and ammunition depots in the provinces of Idlib, Hama and Aleppo. Up to 200 terrorists, 15 armored combat vehicles, two MLRS, two mortars, 43 vehicles, nine motorcycles, 15 drones, two command posts, seven material depots were destroyed,” Ignasyuk stated.
But they never had many forces on the ground (6000 personel in 2017, idk how many now), Iran/Hezbollah basically liberated the country last time.

The smart move for SAA would have been to retreat to a defensible position and then launch an insurgency against HTS. HTS is deemed a terrorist organisation and they do not enjoy the broad popular support like the Taliban do in Afghanistan, so they do not have the means for a protracted war or sustained conflict, meanwhile Russia can continue supplying SAA through the ports/airfields.
Wasn’t just HTS, they were being attacked from rebels in 2 other directions, from the South and Southeast. The rebels in the south had simliarly negotiated with Assad, but just a couple days ago started their offensive towards Damascus. Meanwhile cities which Assad held for years in the last civil war fell in days to HTS.

The SAA didn’t abandon equipment like the Afghan Army did when Taliban advanced. The SAA seems to have retreated with their vehicles, there is no sign of a rout.
Some of it was salvaged by crossing into the Iraq border, but I’ve seen reports that it was also abandoned. https://x.com/adam7867863/status/1864306554314342850 https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/1865594048284680445

23·5 months agoI worry how this will effect the genocide in Gaza.
If Syria falls it will complicate providing support to Hezbollah, since the land connection to Lebanon will be severed. Also last time the rebels invaded Lebanon, will they do so again? Hezbollah has so far pinned Israeli forces in the north.
From my standpoint, Syria is stronger than what it was in 2012. Also, they have strong allies such Russia and Iran so I am confident that we will see reality when the dust settles in the same fashion to what happened with Ukraine.
I am hopeful as the Syrian army hasn’t yet lost in real fighting but I think the situation is close to its worst. Syria in 2012 did not lose major cities. They merely retreated from the countryside/desert.
While there were foreign terrorists in the civil war, they did not have a safe haven to accumulate in for years. We don’t know how many jihadists from all across the world were accumulated in Idlib from all these years since 2019. There are significant convoys heading down the highway.
The resistance forces coming in from Iraq are having to deal with the Kurds and US, and lack a clear connection to Damascus. Russia’s bases near the sea have almost been cut off by the offensive.
The website’s creators are Ukrainian which is why they put UA in it, then they made it into an acronym.
^The map’s creators are also biased (ua = Ukraine)
Edit: Pro-Syrian sources have posted similar territorial control though, its just I haven’t found an alternative complete map. Take it with a grain of salt.
The Kurds are basically renaming their enemy as ISIS just as Hitler named the jews as his enemy instead of the countries he fought.
The Kurds and the US are using fighting ISIS as an excuse to bomb and attack resistance militias.
Yeah but you need permission to post, I get censored meanwhile someone making some weird argument that white people aren’t proletarian gets to post. Perhaps run by feds tbh.
I didn’t say they were Ba’athists, I said they are Pan-Arab.
Although it could just be virtue signalling too.
Just that most people wanted one unfied state for Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Jordan but the western powers didn’t allow it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King–Crane_Commission.
I was saying that to link this song, I wanted to briefly give relevant context on the political party that made it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6c83u4_VHA
The moderaters said that I was denying Palestinian nationality, saying Palestine is Syrian is the same as saying it belongs to the jews and this is Zionist bs
I made a reply post (which I told them not to approve for public visibility) which said that I recognize Palestinian nationality and don’t want to force Palestinians to be a part of a Pan-Syrian state today but the regional unity existed for centuries and it would be a good thing if it was made reality.
Edit: I forgot to add, after that reply they banned me
They said I was “whining and lying” and they kept responding with one liners.

He’s tried to make his own ideology but gave up and told university students to study Marxism.

Also I’ve heard that the jihadists are saying they accept diversity and homosexuality
