Syrian War: News #23

Well let's hear it Caveat emperor et al.
Muh generals are incompetent , muh corruption. Yes , i know the major general in Syria was fired. That's an easy target

If anyone is to blame for this it's the SVR. What does the foreign intel agency even do ? Syria should be their area of highest priority. Russian lives are at risk there. They should have their ear to the ground in the whole region. Train up and infiltrate these Turkish and US proxies.

I don't know though. Maybe they are doing all of this. How would we know. But I'm just saying , we don't hear very much from the SVR.

Syria is no longer a profitable place for Russia, which is why China is staying out of it.

The Syrian Army has been fighting since 2011, but despite all these years of war, they don’t receive proper salaries, their living conditions are poor, and the country has been under an unofficial embargo. If the Syrian Army gets tired of fighting, Russia can't do much about it.

If Russia wants to help Syria regain the lost regions, it would need to send more weapons and troops, like it did between 2015 and 2020. But this isn't profitable for Russia anymore.

In 2015, things were easier for Russia because Ukraine wasn’t a big issue at the time.

In 2020, Putin had a chance to take back Idlib but chose to trust Erdoğan instead. This was a mistake, because Erdoğan leads a NATO member country and has to align with the U.S. at some point.

Syria is on the brink of becoming the Middle East's version of Afghanistan, which could cause problems for neighboring countries. It will also create new opportunities for Israel.

Additionally, attacks by HTS have allowed the YPG to expand. In the future, HTS and YPG will likely clash, giving the U.S. more reasons to stay in Syria.
