Hama seems to have fallen

A question remains unanswered: Under martial law, the National Assembly was prohibited from meeting. Technically, it is an illegal entity at the moment. So, is the request to end martial law valid? The Constitution doesn't set a timeline for when the President must respect the demand to lift martial law. President Yoon was the country's prosecutor general

Syrian forces reportedly withdrew from the city of Hama. However, Syrian Lieutenant General Ali Mahmoud Abbas stated that Syrian forces are still within the vicinity of Hama. Presumably, at new defensive lines to the south, near Homs: https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/12/05/738555/Defense-Minister--Syrian-army-is-still-in-Hama

Bold prediction I'll probably be wrong on: The CEO killer will get off on a hung jury, in one of the most reported on cases of jury nullification ever. This is going to cause a huge legislative and judicial shitstorm, which will eventually result in sweeping changes to the legal system to prevent jury nullification.

Yoon impeachment vote happening 3am EST. Us West Coasters will break the news after midnight. Opposition party holds 192 seats so they need 8 defections to pass it. Yoon’s party denounces the attempted coup but rejects calls for impeachment lmao “he was just joking guys”

Given the situation seems dire it seems credible. This seems like it's too late though, unless the US would start using their assets in the region to help.

Yeah unless you've got 10k troops to drop into Damascus I think Assad's toast. If he has a brain at all he's gone to UAE.

Javar Larijani, top advisor to the Supreme Leader, Imam Khamenei: 'Resistance forces have entered the field, and are organized. The Syrian Arab Army can clearly no longer defend Syria, this matter should have been in our hands from the beginning.'

❗️Statement issued by the General Command of the Syrian Army and Armed Forces:

"Our people have been facing for several days, and especially since this morning, a systematic media and terrorist war aimed at destabilizing the security of the homeland and citizens and spreading chaos and panic in a way that serves the enemy's agenda.

Media platforms affiliated with terrorists have not stopped publishing misleading videos and false news about the events taking place across Syria's geography.

Our valiant army continues to carry out its qualitative operations against terrorist gatherings at high rates in the directions of the Hama and Homs countrysides and the northern Daraa countryside, inflicting hundreds of deaths and injuries on the terrorists, dozens of vehicles and vehicles, and many headquarters, warehouses, weapons and ammunition."

I guess it's Assadover? Unless Iraq, Iran and Russia somehow can reverse all of this, which it's not impossible, just highly difficult.

So how cool is the RoK cool zone getting?

Are we gonna see tanks rolling down the streets of Seoul staring down protestors?

Is Yoon gonna find a lamppost with his name on it?

uhhh hey newsheads, what the hell's going on in SK?

For the first time, Iranian drones have taken off from the Islamic Republic, and are in the skies of Homs.

• From Telegram, it can be fake

Syrian Ministry of Defense: 'There is no truth to the news circulated by some media outlets and pages affiliated with terrorist organizations about any withdrawal of any units of our armed forces present in the vicinity of the city of Homs and its countryside. They are fully prepared and ready to carry out their duty to confront any terrorist assault.'

Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, after consultations in Baghdad:'Whoever denies the obvious Zionist role in the terrorist advances in Syria, is either blind or dishonest. The Islamic Republic of Iran has always supported Syria and will continue to do so with all its weight and with everything Syria needs and demands. The security of our neighbours is the security of ourselves; terrorists must be fought and annihilated in their infancy, before they spread into the entire region.'

'Iran has not and will not abandon its allies in times of difficulties, just like we expect our friends and allies to stick by us.' 'Iran has witnessed first hand how its own allies left it and betrayed it, one by one, during the Iraqi imposed war against us in the 1980's. We refuse to do this to others. Once a friend, a friend till the end.'
