  2. Almost like if the Axis of Stupid didn’t invade Ukraine and engineer Oct 7, they’d still have control over Syria and their own regimes wouldn’t be on the brink of collapse.

    What goes around comes around, fuckfaces.

  4. So a coalition of Shiite heads and Russians isn’t a good one? Noted.

  6. I’m going to be a little skeptical here because of how quickly this is developing. The main group leading the offensive is the Syrian Salvation Government, which is a unitary authoritarian theocratic Islamist quasi-state. That doesn’t seem very pro-Western, especially considering that the leader of the group used to be a member of ISIL and Al-Qaeda.

    I’m starting to think that Russia and Iran brokered from sort of deal with the SSG and have ditched Assad (which is the right move considering that *everybody*, except for the Syrian Mukhabarat and Alawite elites, wants Assad dead)

  7. Iran can get fucked!

    Should have EMPd them earlier this year.

  8. Seems legit, I mean why would you want your generals in the country during a war?

  9. any possibility of events in Syria sparking revolution in Iran, come on Mossad and CIA, now’s your chance

  11. What’s the end game here? there are multiple factions here and civil war or instability will likely continue Assad for years similar to Afghanistan with multiple factions. The factions aside, there will still be multiple neighbors each supporting one of the factions, Iran thru Iraq, Turkey playing both sides, Israel/US. Either way, I don’t see stability returning to Syria any time soon.
