    The "LION" tamed perhaps they'll change the family name back to the original.

    While good riddance to bad rubbish Islamists don't look like good news to the many Druze, Alawites, Assyrian Christians, 10% of Syrians are Christian, with many denominations including Greek Orthodox, Greek Catholic, Armenian Orthodox, Armenian Catholic, Syriac Orthodox, Syriac Catholic, Nestorians, Chaldeans, Maronites, Latin Catholics, and Protestants.
    When in doubt, look intelligent. Garrison Keillor

    ^they would have to have had some serious fucking help with totally disabling Assad's positions or communications. I reckon the west/ Israel were trying to distract Putin. If they did, its a win for the Ukrainian war and peace talks; if they didn't, well, they get rid of Assad and Russia has one less country to sell its weapons to.

    I do not know what box of delights this has opened but I am sure it won't be pretty for minorities once all the dust has settled.

    It's all fucking games.

    'This is a major blow to the Kremlin’s long-standing ambition of expanding Russia’s influence across the globe, preferably at the West’s expense.
    Syria was the focus of Russia’s presence in the Middle East, and Bashar al-Assad was Vladimir Putin’s main ally in the region. Efforts to prop up his regime lasted almost a decade and cost Russia a lot both in terms of money and personnel losses.
    The Syria campaign was a huge source of pride for the Kremlin’s media machine, which presented it as a sign of Russia’s resurgence following the break-up of the USSR.
    But now Vladimir Putin couldn’t or wouldn’t save his protégé, and it is important to understand why. Was it because he is too tied up in Ukraine? Was it because he did not think al-Assad was worth saving? Was it both?
    Ukrainians may be happy to see Putin’s ally toppled, but if Russia’s troops and military hardware are pulled out of Syria, it is Ukraine where they may be deployed.'

    Israel and the US have been bombing the shit out of Syrian weapons depots and ISIS encampments, and Israel have taken over the buffer zone. I think it's fairly obvious they both want the SFA in charge but that ship might have already sailed.

    The good news of course is that it cuts Hamas and Hizbollah off from Iran.

    Just think, if the high heeled war criminal hadn't backed Assad this could have been a peaceful transfer of power but now it's not only a Libyan style shit show but every Syrian islamic extremist's wet dream.

    Security sources in Lebanon reported that Hezbollah, a key ally of the ousted Assad regime, has withdrawn its forces from Syria. Syrian military sources told Reuters that Hezbollah troops evacuated from al-Qusayr, a strategic city in Homs province, shortly before it fell to rebel forces.

    At least 150 armored vehicles carrying hundreds of Hezbollah fighters reportedly left al-Qusayr in stages. The city, which Hezbollah had controlled since 2013, served as a key route for the movement of weapons and fighters between Syria and Lebanon.

    I will be somewhat tickled if it turns out to be true that Israel has attacked the high heeled midget's port in Tartus.

    Just a moment...

    Sounds like one of those "experts" our resident chinky lovers used to quote.

    Li Shaoxian, dean of the China-Arab States Research Institute at Ningxia University ... said in a Dec. 4 interview with Phoenix TV that it was highly unlikely that anti-government forces would succeed in overthrowing the government.
