Here’s what is happening in Syria.​

Syrian government forces have withdrawn from several Damascus suburbs where anti-government protests erupted on Saturday, according to two war monitoring groups, as a rebel offensive farther to the north moved rapidly in the direction of the capital.

The British-based war monitor Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said government forces have pulled out of a number of suburbs of the capital, including Moadamia al-Sham and Daraya and the nearby Mezzeh military airport. That could not immediately be confirmed

Iran Begins to Evacuate Military Officials and Personnel From Syria​

The withdrawals by one of President Bashar al-Assad’s key backers come amid a resurgent rebel offensive.

Dec. 6, 2024

Iran began to evacuate its military commanders and personnel from Syria on Friday, according to regional officials and three Iranian officials, in a sign of Iran’s inability to help keep President Bashar al-Assad in power as he faces a resurgent rebel offensive.

Among those evacuated to neighboring Iraq and Lebanon were top commanders of Iran’s powerful Quds Forces, the external branch of the Revolutionary Guards Corps, the officials said.

The move signaled a remarkable turn for Mr. al-Assad, whose government Iran has backed throughout Syria’s 13-year civil war, and for Iran, which has used Syria as a key route to supply weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Guards personnel, some Iranian diplomatic staff, their families, and Iranian civilians were also being evacuated, according to the Iranian officials, two of them members of the Guards, and regional officials. Iranians began to leave Syria on Friday morning, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!

President Biden exhausted Russia AND Iran with his steady and effective support of Ukraine and Israel.



And now President Biden’s steady and effective approach to BOTH wars is paying dividends in Syria.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN!!!

If Assad falls, what comes next? What kind of regime will these rebels set up?

This is so miss leading. Story links and posts are obviously coming from a pro western media or intelligence agency.

Civil War is not what’s been happening in Syria. It’s an insurgence of terrorist groups that are armed and financed by the US and its allies. For a long time the US said not to have any soldiers in Syria but that’s a lie. US has control of the oil fields and the main reason they are trying to topple Assad

Those fighting in Syria are not Syrians vs Syrians. It’s Syrian citizens united and supported by IRAN and Russia vs Terrorist groups that the US went to the Middle East to originally fight. But now, they are using them to fight a proxy war. Using the terrorist groups like AlQueda to terrorize, destroy, and kill citizens of Syria.

Assad is guilty of not capitulating to the US. He is supported by the citizens of Syria, and the US, Israel, and allies are guilty of war crimes and the US is fighting a war the US people do not want. They circumvent the American people by using the Patriot Act to bypass congress and the American people to commit war crimes.

The rebels won’t install anyone the US doesn’t allow them to install. They will actually break up Syria and Lebanon and parts of northern Iraq, and give most of it to Turkey, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.

Then what happens to Rojava? The Kurdish bit in the northeast, de facto independent for some years now. It would make the most sense to transfer it to Iraq, merge it with Iraqi Kurdistan.

Also the US has been stealing the Syrians oil for some time now...... would you expect anything less from the current crime family in power?

Turkey backs the insurgents.

Interesting.

Well, I'm sure Turkey does not back the Rojava insurgents. That would only encourage the Kurdish nationalists in Turkey.

 

[ll74]

Ha ha ha!

No tranny teens there so you haven’t been following it for the past 15 years.

I have never followed the Syrian conflicts closely. It has nothing to do with whatever bullshit you have decided it is.

There does not seem to be any way this can end well, no matter who wins -- Assad the dictator, or the Islamist insurgents.

 

[RandyRebecca]

Assad's opponents are jihadist terrorists who want to subjugate or murder unbelievers.

Just remember what happened in Libya when Gaddafi was overthrown.

There does not seem to be any way this can end well, no matter who wins -- Assad the dictator, or the Islamist insurgents.

The way it ends well, if that's the word, is the defeat of the jihadists, just like last time.

 

[RandyRebecca]

Turkey backs the insurgents.

Interesting.

Erdogan has a history of supporting jihadist terrorism as part of his neo-Ottoman ambitions.

 

[Politruk]

The way it ends well, if that's the word, is the defeat of the jihadists, just like last time.

But that would leave Assad in power.

 

[RandyRebecca]

But that would leave Assad in power.

If the alternative is jihadists overthrowing him and turning Syria into another Libya, I'd take Assad in power every time. The Syrian people voted Assad into power. Syria is a country with different Muslims and Christians. The jihadists would subjugate or murder anyone who didn't follow their extremist branch of Sunni Islam. There are pictures out there on the internet, from when ISIS controlled Raqqa, of them throwing LGBT people off the top of buildings to their deaths!

When did that happen?!

The United Nations condemned the elections as an illegitimate process with "no mandate"; accusing the Ba'athist regime of undermining UN Resolution 2254 and for obstructing the UN-backed political solution that calls for a "free and fair elections" under international monitoring.[4][5]
