The long-overdue downfall of the Assad regime is now at hand.

After almost 14 gruesome years of civil war, the diverse Syrian people of all corners of the country have now finally changed the situation on the ground - by themselves.

The Kurdish SDF is coordinating with the HTS, liberating Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor province. A vital Syrian-Iraqi border crossing has been taken as Assad‘s Syrian Arab Army is in full retreat from the Northeast of the country. Previously confined to areas north of the Euphrates, the SDF has crossed the river and approaches the central desert city of Palmyra from the North. Meanwhile, US supported rebels operating from their base at Al Tanf converge on the city from the South.

In Southern Syria the Druze minority areas around Daraa and Suwayda are being liberated by once dormant rebels groups that could soon threaten Damascus from the South.

The main axis of the advance is directed at Homs which is led by the HTS. With the fall of Homs, the path to Damascus from the North would be cleared and the regime would also be effectively cut off from the Russian forces located to the West along Syria‘s coastline.

It‘s time to assist this incredible advance through the re-supply of weapons, humanitarian and economic aid, by sharing intelligence on the regime‘s positions and to neutralize any SAA defensive lines through sustained USAF arial bombardment.

I could get behind that, but do you really think that the Russians are going to allow it?

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP Well, if you had asked any CIA analyst back in 2022 if the Russians would allow the Ukrainians to hold a sizeable swath of the Kursk oblast, they would’ve rolled their eyes at you.

In fact, Russia is pulling back their military assets to the port of Tartus to get them out before the coastline falls into the hands of the rebels. As far as Kremlin leaks are concerned, it seems the Russian regime has intimated that it wouldn’t put up a fight to help Assad. Plus, Russia‘s air assets are not really decisive at this point anymore. The war is now being decided on the ground and the rebels have the upper hand.

Any support for them now will go a long way to create some semblance of leverage over them to assist any new government and make sure it‘s moderate in its treatment of former adversaries, women and minorities and doesn’t present a danger to Israel.
