It looks like the talmudo-satanists are going for broke, from Georgia, to Syria, to Ukraine and everywhere else they have cells and plots in play they are throwing caution to the winds. Do they feel the nooses around their necks? That is how this should end.
Putin knows Erdogan is a two headed (maybe more) rattlesnake, one head sometimes biting Russia and the other head sometimes biting NATO. However in classic Russian style Putin remains polite to all rattlesnake heads, takes his antivenom medication to limit any damage to Russia, and waits for the rattlesnake to make a mistake and bite itself. In fact Putin was more than polite, he even saved the snake from regime change, I'm not sure that Putin anticipated gratitude and loyalty, snakes don't possess those things. The snake accidentally biting itself might just be what is happening now in Syria, with a little additional nip for Israel and the US. But ultimately Erdogan is a problem for the Turkish people to solve when their pain becomes great enough.
They are always reacting, the U.S. seem to be to dictating and chosing where and on what term the next crisis will erupt. This was another major Russian intelligence failure.
“Now the Russians and Syria will take back much of the territory occupied by Turkey in 2019.”
Seeing is believing. So far the Syrian army is abandoning positions and hardly putting up a fight. Just look at the old garbage equipment! Why hasn’t Russia supplied Syria (or Iran for example) with modern tanks, APC’s etc?
And speaking of which, why don’t Russia’s S400’s stationed in Syria shoot down Israeli jets that constantly violate Syrian airspace and bomb Syrian territory? If Russia doesn’t want to shoot at Israeli jets, then why don’t they supply Syria with S400’s and let the Syrians do it themselves?
The unfortunate reality is that Russia protects its ‘allies’ quite poorly and completely fails to anticipate the TOTALLY EXPECTED Western regime change attempts, so they are an easy target for Western regime change; Syria, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan and Iran. All this “Russian 3D chess” is largely bullshit IMHO, very similar to Trump’s “3D chess” while he is HIRING the entire Washington DC Swamp.
Impatience. The militants are foraging deep into Syrian controlled territory, they will need their Turkish supply lines which are being severed while the militants are being invited in. Looks like a fire sack/cauldron in the making to me, we will see soon enough. Maybe this has the marks of Russian strategy on it. It's a long, very complex and dangerous game of attrition the Russians are curating and teaching their friendlies, who they also want to learn to defend themselves. From what I've seen so far Putin is very good at it all aspects of the game and getting better.
The Syrian Army is backing off to avoid destruction of the city and reorganizing their forces. Meanwhile reinforcements are en route. This will not stand.
The terrorists are overextended. The USA is overextending with the meddling, inciting unrest and attempts at regime change. The unrest may be chickens coming home to roost when unrest breaks out in the West.
So, you suggest Russia should commit act of war to Israel. 🤡 Ok, I think, for now, they are pleased with fairly good percentage of shooting down Israels rockets. And one must be aware of the old Israeli habit to shoot from shadow of civilian planes.
Houthis weren't supplied by the latest ship killing missiles - at the Saudis request. Guess who has S-400s? They will be soon used against Russian pilots, by the Turkish military. The "special relationship" with Israel, Saudis and Turkey is weakening the axis of resistance.
“You can expect him to find ways to punish the Turks, who are generally unpopular throughout the Middle East, especially now that Syria being welcomed back into the Islamic fold.”
Syria back in the Islamic fold? 😂 You mean those fake hugs and kisses Assad (Shiite) got from Arab (Souni) leaders like MbS? Remember MbS’ enthusiastic handshake with Putin, while at the same time backing out of joining BRICS? 😉
All good analysis, except the confusing statement about the SDF and equating their activities as on par with the Resistance. SDF has been serving as a proxy and tool for the US occupation of northeastern Syria and the prime facilitator of the theft of Syria oil. They are nothing short of the most vile vehicle serving US and Israeli interests in their treachery toward Syrian state.
Kurds servs USA to make their fight against Turks sustainable but that is also Assads interest at the moment. They have a contact between each other in a sense to agree to some kind of autonomy for Kurds in Syria which should result with common fight against Turks. In that case USA becomes unneeded player in the game.
What? Stop acting like the SDF attorney! The Kurds could’ve dispensed with the US long ago and negotiated the same all along. They didn’t need to start betraying Syria completely by stealing the oil and occupying the wheat producing part of Syria hence starving the rest of the country for the last six years! The Kurds are traitors to every country they in which they reside, be it Iran, Iraq, Turkey, or Syria!
You cannot condemn an 40 million ethnic group for wanting to establish their own state. They sold themselves to the devil to push their interest and Assads job is to make its own deal with them. And relax, I'm just throwing ideas floating around in attempt to figure out what is going on. Keep on with your hurray attitude, I won't bother you anymore.
You’re not bothering me at all! I am only making the argument that the Kurds have not acted in a united or consistent manner in their cross national policies and practices, and characterized by competing and contradictory cross national conflicts and shifting alliances as well as inter tribal/ethnic identities and allegiances. In short, they have often played a subversive role not only vis-à-vis the respective host nations or entities, but in ways that have hampered consolidation of a cross national Kurdish project or aspirations. Case in point is that the Syrian Kurds were in a position of strength and a new harmonious autonomous phase at the end of the last phase of the Syrian war with ISIS and Takfiri hordes. Had they built on their alliance with the Syrian state circa post 2017, it is likely that they would’ve helped a resurgent Syrian federation including a viable alliance against Turkish aggression. However, they opportunistically entered an alliance with the US to the detriment of the Syrian state, forcefully occupying, suppressing, ethically cleansing, or effectively annexing areas or territories traditionally belonging to the Arab tribes of northeastern Syria. In fact, they increasingly pursued an exclusive monopoly over the national wealth and lifeline of Syria (bread and oil) which had belonged to all Syrians and shared with them as a legitimate part of the pre-war Syrian state. And you seem to assume that Kurds in Syria experienced the same level of discrimination vs autonomy in Turkey and Syria, which would be quite a misinformed notion. Syrian Kurds were generally not a discriminated or repressed minority in the Syrian state. Nor does a legitimate increase in their autonomy entitle them to rob all other Syrians of their shared national resources. So, I am only pointing to this glaring distortion in such apparent assumptions, but actually welcomed critiquing the argument without any intended personal valuation or reaction.
An excellent and useful analysis which is much appreciated. All this is useful background, which I neglected to go into when writing my post --maybe because it really deserves an article all its own. In fact, I think I should publish your comment as part of a longer article. Otherwise, people may misconceive my reference to the SDF support against HTS and jump to all the wrong conclusions. 1 I understood the context -- having worked with SouthFront on roughy a hundred reports on the Syrian conflict, including HTS and the Kurds and Turks -- so I unforunately take some things for granted. My bad! To sort all this might take an article longer than my usual posts, though - maybe a "special article" (these days about 4000 words!)
This is brilliant, thanks. I see in Kurds leadership ultimate opportunistic behavior. My confusion relates with (mis)information that Syrian - Kurdish talks took place in the last 2-3 years. So I thought this events in Syria could rapidly accelerate the final agreement between them.
I'm sorry if I mistakenly saw anger in your previous comment. It's about my bad English. Thanks again.
Not a problem at all. You communicated very well and raised excellent and very legitimate points. I enjoyed the discussion and it’s a pleasure to meet and exchange thoughts with you here. Cheers! 🥂🍻
Interesting details, Julian, but just a Zionist diversion, from the genocide and the democide, just like so many other less important things, in my opinion, and that is probably why people like Scott Ritter and Douglas Macgregor can keep doing what they do. It divirts attention from the huge democide, called Covid-19 "vaccination".
There’s no way President Putin and Russian intel did not know about this. Erdogan broke his word with Putin when he released the Azov Nazi POWs that were supposed to be released at the end of the SMO. This is one way of retribution for that. Knowing that Syria was recently returned into the Arab League and with the backing of Syria’s allies they can kick Turkiye out of Syria once and for all. Putin is playing 5D chess while the snake Erdogan is stuck on checkers.
Julian, are you equating “rebels” and “jihadists”? The Al Quaida sort? And is the US allied with those to control the Syrian oil fields? On the other side is it Kurds and Hezbollah and Iran, the axis of resistance? “Understanding Syria” was not on my bingo card for Christmas 2024, but here I am. Next I will have to learn Arabic, except I think it’s Farsi in Iran.
It looks like the talmudo-satanists are going for broke, from Georgia, to Syria, to Ukraine and everywhere else they have cells and plots in play they are throwing caution to the winds. Do they feel the nooses around their necks? That is how this should end.
Their🇮🇱 lap/attack dog🇺🇸 is behind it.

To start with - turn off Turk stream ! The turks will suffer especially as winter is coming.
secondly russian turists shall boycott any plans to visit Turkey during next year.
third stop buying vegetables from Turkey.
All these actions will hurt the turkish economy severely.
To spice it up maybe a threat of a visit by Oreshnik to Incirlik air base....(NATO)
Perhaps it’s a coincidence but every time the Russians are surprised - Georgia, Ukraine and now Syria - the biters get bit and take heavy losses.
They are always reacting, the U.S. seem to be to dictating and chosing where and on what term the next crisis will erupt. This was another major Russian intelligence failure.
Maybe it's Ropadope a la Muhammad Ali. Maybe it's Judo. Putin damn good at Judo!

Jack, I like how you wrote "Impatience".
Syria doesn't have the money to pay for those billion-dollar AD systems nor can Russia afford to give them away.
The Syrian Army is backing off to avoid destruction of the city and reorganizing their forces. Meanwhile reinforcements are en route. This will not stand.
The terrorists are overextended. The USA is overextending with the meddling, inciting unrest and attempts at regime change. The unrest may be chickens coming home to roost when unrest breaks out in the West.
Israel strikes Syria from its own airspace. It's widely known fact.
The bombs land in Syria, it's a widely known fact! 🤡
So, you suggest Russia should commit act of war to Israel. 🤡 Ok, I think, for now, they are pleased with fairly good percentage of shooting down Israels rockets. And one must be aware of the old Israeli habit to shoot from shadow of civilian planes.

Assad is not Shiite.
He's like Erdogan.
