ngl it doesn't look good this time.
Yeah, shit. I was hoping Western media was lying and hyping up small victories as more significant than they were.
This is obviously the US seeing a chance while Russia is weakened, instructing the rebels and giving them information on SAA positions.
I felt the same way the night the Ukraine war started. We had all (even my comrades in Russia) been assuming it was just bluster until it wasn't.
Yeah this is something I have said before that it is not good to fall into the trap of just always assuming western media is lying, you still got to put the effort in of actually analyzing things before reaching conclusions. Unless the source is Falun Gong linked though, I feel pretty safe dismissing absolutely everything they put out.
Still kinda hoping they can turn this around in the second half. Syria is a massive country. The "rebels" are stretched and probably relying on looting captured cities for supplies.
Dose of hopium: The media says SAA is abandoning cities, but there's a difference between a retreat and a rout. What if the SAA is reorganising/regrouping for a counter attack? SAA and Russia still have aerial superiority.
I also think the reports of "SAA soldiers changing into civilian clothes" is Western media pre-bunking the reprisals and death that will be visited on the civilian population of Damascus if and when the terrorists capture it.
Word is Assad is currently missing so I think it's Joever
Weird to see libs celebrating Alt-Qaeda win. Three years ago they were crying for America to stay in Afghanistan to protect women's rights, now they're cheering on radical Islamists in Syria who want to roll back women's rights.
i agree
