Last days of Assad’s regime in Syria?

Seems ominous that his forces are retreating from the area around Damascus.

I think Assad would be kind of attractive if he had a chin.

Assad will likely end up like Mussolini or Khadafi. He really brutalized his people for years.

by Anonymousreply 9December 7, 2024 8:32 PM

Seriously - what is left in Syria anymore? He fucking ruined that country and its infrastructure with war for decades.

I don't understand how this was allowed to happen and all the neighboring countries just stood by and watched.

by Anonymousreply 10December 7, 2024 8:33 PM

Assad didn't ruin the country, dickhead. The US, UK, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE waged war against the country using over a hundred thousand foreign jihadis coordinated and paid for by the US through Obama's operation Timber Sycamore, the most expensive program in the history of the CIA, PLUS a decade of crushing US sanctions preventing any rebuilding, PLUS the US illegally occupying 1/3 of Syrian land (the part with the wheat and all Syria's oil), which was then sold to Israel, did. Idiot.

R11, I’m that sure your failure to mention Russia was just oversight.

If Assad is toppled, I wonder if the replacement will wind up being no better or worse.

R12 Russia and Iran have fought to support the Syrian government against the US proxy war I explained in my post (part of the 7 countries in the Middle East overthrow plan of the US leaked by Wesley Clark back in the pre Iraq War Bush years) and prevent another Libya style jihadi catastrophe.

I don't understand whatever point you think you're making.

R20, the “Syrian government” is a hereditary dictatorship. The “support” offered by Russia and Iran has been military repression. They are not better than any of the other actors in the region.

It depends whose proxy is installed.

by Anonymousreply 30December 8, 2024 1:52 AM

Didn’t he flee to Moscow only to get booted by Putin?

Now the rumor is he’s holed up in Iran.

Nobody wants anything to do either that snake necked, chinless loser.

He’s gonna end up tossed out in the desert somewhere.

R29, of course not. Assad has, presumably, fled the country. Iran and Russia have withdrawn their forces. It’s basically over. Advantage: Turkey.

How exciting - it's Tulsi Gabbard at R11!

So tell us Tulsi, did Assad flee to your house? Since you're best buddies and all. Just make sure he doesn't bring any sirin into the house.

I am so glad for the Syrian people, their ten-year civil war is finally over.

-- Assad's plane lost altitude and disappeared from radar. No one knows where he is right now.

-- The regime fell so quickly that they didn't burn their KGB / FSB files. What secrets will those contain?

-- The rebels opened Assad's infamous prisons and liberated the inmates. In one case, a young man captured in 1985 was released as an old man today.

So the feeling here is that the new Al Qaeda/ISIS allied government will be better than Assad was?

by Anonymousreply 45December 8, 2024 3:48 PM

Yes—the rebels have evolved politically. Also they still do t control the entire country…just the parts the government had controlled.

by Anonymousreply 46December 8, 2024 4:17 PM

The jury is out on that, R45. It could go either way--worse or better. But Assad was a dictator who used chemical weapons, so there's that.

The history of the Middle East does not bode well for whoever succeeds - it's gonna be a conservative Islamist group with guns. Watch.

Both are awful - but to think this is going to be a long awaited Arab Spring for Syria is wishful thinking.

But hey - the war is over - so all the Syrian immigrants can go back home now, right? Right?

by Anonymousreply 48December 8, 2024 4:35 PM

Are they going to try to make them go home?

HTS has cut ties with Al Qaeda and (unlike Islamic State) seem to be fairly popular in the regions they've controlled. So yes, they would be an improvement.

And Putin is no longer controlling Syria by proxy.

I had some dealings with his wife when she was in investment banking in the late 90s. She was superficially pleasant but she was beautiful, affluent and acted the part.

Little did one expect her to become the Eva Braun of Syria. She also had breast cancer, was recently diagnosed with leukemia, and, according to the WSJ, escaped to Russia in late November with her children.

by Anonymousreply 54December 8, 2024 6:05 PM

r45, Erdoğan and Turkey have a vested interest in keeping Syria a peaceful SECULAR Muslim majority state.

Now that Hezbollah has fallen in Lebanon, Lebanon can return to its secular society.

The Kingdom of Jordan is not going anywhere.

But like Naomi, what about the Kurds? The Kurds are on top of a lot of earl.
