Because of oil they are willing to sacrifice so many life just to have it .
Not just oil alone, but also to disrupt Iran polical influence - in the Middle East.
The biggest Winners in this Syrian conflict - are not Syrians - but: The West, Saudi Arabia and Israel, etc. While the losers are: Assad and his allies - namely: Iran, Russia, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, and finally the Syrian population. I see more sectarian crises in Syria and much more bloody infightings.
Ordinary people will lose more in years to come in Syria - just because of external intervention and interest! Post Gaddafi regime, in Libya - is a case study for all to see.

We just witnessed the last 13 years of the Syrian war unfold in 6 days.

No way an area the size or an entire country and an entire army of thousands collapses in 6 days.

Syria has already been bought and paid for.
Or an incompetent buffoon chicken have come home to roost? You give mere men too much credit

What is the UN, ICC etc and the free free Palestine people saying about the war going on in Syria or do they want to tell me that there's no humanitarian crises going on there since the beginning of the war?

Russia will never be a reliable partner when it comes to security..

A supposedly world power, watched and did nothing as its ally was overwhelmed by rebels. Now they have lost their only military presence in the middle-east.
Russia has its own bigger problems

Can't imagine this happening to Israel.
Israel can make their weapons and food. Russia cannot

The way you masturbate over Russia in the Syrian issue exhibits a lot of ignorance on your part.

The likes of you jubilated when the US turned Libya into a failed state in a similar manner. Very disgusting to watch you salivate over the take over of a state by Al qaeda terrorists and other jihadi groups and condemn the massacre of Isreali civilians by another group with the same jihadi ideologies just because this time, they are sponsored by your God the US.

You expect Russia to pull forces to fight for Assad who refused when Russia asked him to mend fences with Turkey under the Astana process.

Like I have said before, the Russians will not fall for the trap of opening a new front like they tried in Kursk. Syrian crisis is not an existential threat to Russia and the denazification of Ukraine will continue.

Just watch how this conflict snowballs uncontrollably with different factions and the birth of another Isis.

Russia should Putilize itself first. The terrorist state run by Putin.
Pregozhin, should have matched to st
Petersburg

YOU SEE THIS REGION CALL MIDDLE EAST,....

THE BIBLE CALLED THEM BABYLON MEANING THE LAND OF CONFUSION.

EUROPE HAS COLONIZED IT, KILL ENOUGH PEOPLE, OPPRESSED THE REGION AND YET AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE EUROPEANS POWERS RAN AWAY DEFEATED AND BRUTALIZED.

SOVIET UNION HAVE TRIED TO INFLUENCE THAT REGION, BUT THEY WERE DEFEATED.

AMERICA HAVE SPENT ALL THEIR PROSPEROUS YEARS, RICHES AND MILITARY MIGHT TRYING TO COLONIZED THAT REGION IN ORDER TO PROTECT ISREAL, YET AMERICA IS BEING WEAKENED AND DEFEATED FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER, DESPITE KILLING MORE THAN 20 MILLION PEOPLE IN THAT REGION.

THAT REGION IS SOMETHING ELSE

It's not like Damascus is getting divided.

It's just a forceful change of power. Did it not happen in Nigeria in days of IBB or Buhari military coup against Shagari ? More like a coup. Or a change of APC to PDP in 2031. Stop it please.


You are not following in you dot country is held by different rebels there even some rebels back by the US in the North East

Concerning Damascus, Bible has this to say. I think it could be talking about now, or the near future like now or a year after it will all come to .

A Message About Damascus
23 Concerning Damascus:

“Hamath (present day Hama) and Arpad (present day Aleppo) are dismayed,
for they have heard bad news.
They are disheartened,
troubled like the restless sea.
24 Damascus has become feeble,
she has turned to flee
and panic has gripped her;
anguish and pain have seized her,
pain like that of a woman in labor.
25 Why has the city of renown not been abandoned,
the town in which I delight?
26 Surely, her young men will fall in the streets;
all her soldiers will be silenced in that day,”
declares the Lord Almighty.
27 “I will set fire to the walls of Damascus;
it will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.”


Many prophecies have been coming true, Jesus is at the door. That is the good news.

Check Most of the Dictators,they end up the same way to what they came to Condemn, e g .Putin has more money than those he came to rescue and they hate challenges from others !
Most of the Muslims leaders are Dictators, especially in Middle East.
They can't help themselves,no matter how long they used Might,Money ,etc to sustain themselves in Power.
Where is Mobutu Seseseko of Zaire,now of Congo- today?
Just the Truth!

If the SAA decided to not fight out of lack of will, then the Russians aren’t going to shed blood.

Alternatively,

Russia,Iran and even the SAA withdrew quietly.This retreat seems strategic rather than a defeat. Maybe they know that Trump will even withdraw the US from Syria shortly and the Israelis will be took weak and vulnerable alone.

Live long enuf to fight another day.

It's finally going down! These rebels are on the verge of taking over Damascus. The city's completely encircled, and Assad's soldiers are trying to blend in and escape in their thousands. They're surrendering left and right, while Russia and Iran are scrambling to evacuate their bases in Syria 'cause they're scared of getting killed. Lol

Meanwhile, people are trying to leg it outta the country, especially Assad's loyalists, but flights are getting cancelled, and Assad himself is on a flight to who-knows-where, LOL! He's trying to avoid gettin' the Gaddafi treatment.

Now, let this be a lesson to everyone :Russia ain't no reliable ally, they're just a bunch of noisemakers who can't even put up a proper fight

And, by the way, if you're ing Assad, who's been killing thousands of his own people, but then you're condemning Netanyahu for defending his people against terrorists, then you're a bloody hypocrite.

You can't be ing Assad and then hating those rebels who claim to be fighting for their land, at the same time cheering on Hamas terrorists for fighting for something that was never theirs!

What's the position of those rebels fighting Assad, are they against Hezbollah and Hamas?

Syria was bled dry economically. Rusia was providing air , so if the SAA would/could not fight on the ground there was nothing Russia could do about it. Turkey stabbed Russia in the back again. Iran is unable to provide forces as they are expecting USA/ISR to attack.

It appears the world is so comfortable with black people in chaos and struggling
Why aren’t we industrializing like the rest of the world is
Why are we importing crude oil products and exporting jobs when we have all that’s needed
With Automation going on now, I fear for AES people & its military
They could suffer in the future for not aligning with their colonial masters

The topic is about Syrian Rebels, Damascus, Assad and his Russian allies. Leave Africa and her challenges out of it. Another thread should be opened for that. Focus! Focus! Focus!

I am thinking along this line too. I suppose there was already agreement for regime change. How else would you explain the speed with which the fall of syria occurred? With the Army withdrawing from towns without having to geared up for prolong battle?

I guess with the coming days...the fogs will begin to clear out
