In the wake of President Bashar al-Assad’s removal, Syria’s transitional government has announced that Russian presence is unwelcome.

1. Oh my and was it just 2 days ago Russian supporters were yelling at me “We Still Have Our Bases! “ lol. Moving all their equipment to Libya now. Africa will swallow them up and waste their funds like every other non African nation that believes they can fool with them.

2. I wonder what the Syrian government position on the Israeli invasion is. If it is the will of the Syrian people to expel Russian forces then they should leave. Surely we should learn soon about their opinion on Israel taking their land while the Syrians are most vulnerable.

3. With Russia they have more to gain than to lose. Russia has already stated its willingness to cooperate for a better Syria, Turkey would want Russia too.

   I’ve only seen EU being desperate on Russian removal stating lifting of sanctions on said terrorists after Russia’s complete withdrawal. US is okay with Russian bases too, they were fighting the same enemy earlier. But this was conflicted especially with Biden and with Blinken. They do really want to support terrorists if it means weakening their current adversary. Definitely will change with the incoming Trump administration next month.

4. Sorry, u/divvyinvestor what were you saying about the Syrians being happy to side with Russia and quickly forgetting about being at war with them? As I said, this announcement was just a matter of time and that’s just commonsense. People don’t quickly forget about who they’ve been at war with and who propped up the brutal regime that oppressed them. Even if the rebel leaders could look past that, it would never be popular with the Syrian people who the government needs to appease. Just because Russia has bases there doesn’t mean the Syrians are going to let them stay.
