Geopolitics can create some very strange bedfellows.

well, poor Putin is a little outstretched with Ukraine. Thank god for him, he just needs to wait for January and then he will be able to free troops to go back to massacre civilians and prop up puppet dictators around the world.

USAF is mainly going after the Iran-backed militias that are trying to attack US interests in the east.

But this is nothing new. Maybe you've forgotten that Trump supported our troops being in Syria.

I feel like a dumbass, but I really don’t understand what’s happening in Syria and who’s who in the conflict.

Are we supposed to care?

Don't be so hard on yourself, its comically convoluted. Different intelligence agencies support different groups of "moderate terrorists" and sometimes they fight each other. Israel bombs Syria on the regular. Turkey is feeding mercenaries and jihadis into the conflict. The US has bases in eastern Syria to support various terrorist groups and oil companies. There are even Ukrainian training the terrorists on drone warfare.

On the Syrian side you have the Syrian government, Russian regular forces, Iranians, Iraqis and even the Kurds it seems.

Pretty much everyone has their own angle, and if Assad were to be toppled, it could unleash quite the chaos. Probably wouldn't be contained to Syria.

Things are rapidly collapsing for Assad and Russia. Russian troops are withdrawing fast, and Assadists have been evacuating to Latakia and the coast.

Skynews Arabia is reportedly saying that Russia has informed Damascus that any further interventions by Russia will be limited and that Russia has "other priorities" - they are cutting and running.

At this point it looks like Assadists in Homs have evacuated and a lot of the military is on the run, Homs will probably fall today or tomorrow, and Damascus will be cut off from the coastal Alawite stronghold, Latakia and Tartus. Damascus will probably fall soon as well.

The three biggest opposition factions appear to be HTS, SDF and the Turkish puppets in the north, they all appear to be making fast and furious territory grabs, but it looks like there are other militias in pockets throughout the country that previously had armistice deals with Assad that are now rising up and taking over Assad's territories as well. Unclear who will align with who and how this will all turn out when the dust settles

Doesn't seem like the Iranians and Iraqis sent to fight aren't having much of any impact and Russia appears to be bailing on Syria. And I think most of the Kurds oppose Assad.

It's been said that if Homs falls, Israel will invade in the south to create a buffer zone.
