Israel was desperate and was forced to agree on ceasefire with Hezbollah.
Turkey stabbed everyone in the back, and nobody trusts Turkey anymore.
The surprise element failed, and now it’s Russia’s (and Asad’s) turn.
Israel was kicking Hesfailahs ass .They were desperate for a cease fire. Yes Turkey cant be trusted but they have a stratigic location.
They have f%€ked the Kurds which were very effective against Al Queda etc.Turkey also controls acess to the Black Sea.
Who’s behind the Islamist radicals?
Turks, Turks, Turks

Reports I am reading right now is Damascus is about fall and Assad’s future is uncertain.
What happened to Assad’s military forces?
It is very strange. They are retreating from important cities without fighting, sounds like.
Russia’s priority is Ukraine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kwFt6z3gaI
It makes no sense to me that his military abandoned their positions and now its being reported that Assad already has left the capital.
Damascus has fallen.
Update(2200ET): Damascus has fallen. Unverified reports say President Assad and top officials have fled to Dubai or elsewhere but the situation overnight is fluid and anything but clear. What is clear, however, is that the jihadists have entered the heart of the capital.
This brings to an end the last secular and Baathist state in the Middle East, and 50+ years of Assad family rule. Journalist Danny Makki, who is currently in Damascus, observes:
Literally Syrian military/security around Damascus just fled, ran away, changed into civilian clothes escaped, there was no battle for Damascus, it was abandoned and by tommorow it will be all under opposition control.
Damascus has fallen!
Preparations are underway to announce an official statement regarding the fall of Bashar Assad inside the Syria Radio and Television building in Damascus.
Previously the HRS rebels already coordinated with Damascus intelligence leaders.
It’s over.
Syrian Soldiers changing into civilian clothing so they can blend in with the rest of the population.
Very, very strange!
So will Syria be another Iran and attempt to invade or take shots at Israel .

Remember that the Syrian “resistance” to Assad is openly Marxist.
It’s pretty sad to see people cheer a CIA-backed coup of Syria simply meant to be a foreign policy mess designed to make Trump’s job harder.
Damascus and the Christian Syrians are in jeopardy. God help them.
Ha, Israel is all you worry about.
More misery for the people concerned.
Maidan 2014 again.

Why did Russia or Iran not help Assad? Assad’s allies did not help, because the army and people of Syria were not fighting. There was essentially not a single big battle, but like in the video Syrian soldiers just walked away. So the allies said: “Why should we fight, if they don’t fight?” - 
Russian did a couple of bombing runs in the the beginning, but stopped once it saw that the Syrian government was not resisting - 
Iran discussed deployment of troops, but in the same way abandoned the idea - 
Hezbollah has not sent troops, all claims were fake - 
All the militias that were on the way stopped at the border and the leaders announced that they will not intervene → Nobody should intervene if there is no war! Essentially there was no fight, just rebels driving to Damascus and the army surrendering. In that sense, that was correct not to intervene in Syria. Because the people did not want to fight, but to remove Assad.
Russia and Iran’s resources are more focused on protecting their own borders and conflicts currently going on next to their borders.

Yes, many, many questions.
It is frustrating to see Israel and the dirty rat Erdogan benefiting from this fiasco.
My only hope is that Iran manages to keep Hezbolla supplied… better still, build a military base close to Lebanon.
May the Jihadi movement enter Turkey big time.
RT is not 100% reliable.
OK, the battle in Syria is lost, but the war is not over.
What war do you suppose that is?
PLANE SUSPECTED TO CARRY ASSAD LEFT SYRIA TO THE UAE LAST NIGHT
The flight map shows a plane departing the UAE, landing in Damascus, and returning to the UAE 1.5 hours later.
Speculation is mounting that Assad may have been on board.
War on Russia.
War on Russia and China.
War on BRICS.
Ultimately, war on the non-dollar economy.
Bottom line. Russia did it again… foolishly trusted Turkey.
