Rebel forces advancing in Syria …

There were reports of USAF providing Air Support for HTS with an A10?

Obviously the US Gov wanted to get rid of Assad and his Russian and Iranian backers.

Turkey was also backing HTS.

Will country remain divided between HTS controlled and SDF (US backed Kurdish) controlled?

What is next? Does the US have a plan to overthrow Iran regime too? Putin?

I think Trump said to let things play out without getting involved.
At this time it doesn’t sound a bad idea.

lol where are the Democrats with claims of “collusion with Russia”?

Probably the most interesting question about Trump’s legacy will be on foreign policy.

WTF is this 😈 blathering?

Again, no rebuttal because you know it is true.

You want Syria to be taken over by masked terrorists who largely are not Syrian. Do you even know who the rebels who just took over are? They are HTS (Hayat Tahrir Al Sham) which in Arabic translates literally to Life and Liberation in the Levant. A nice name, but not a nice organization. The US government has admitted HTS is a terrorist group, and a dangerous opposition group.
Jabhat al-Nusra, HTS’s precursor organization, was formed in Syria in 2011 as al-Qaeda’s affiliate.

The names keep changing and the leaders keep changing but their revenue remains the same. Oil and US weapons. They drive huge Hummers throughout towns and literally start blasting, and get into battles with the actual Syrian army. They are foreign mercenaries paid by foreigners.

Among the highlights from this group included the ban on Christmas, public crucifixes, and churches. You do realize the Muslim president is against these people, and most Syrians are mortified by this extremist brand of Jihadism formerly unheard of in the country where Christianity was birthed and Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived peacefully for centuries in.

Anyone who defends Assad has zero credibility.

Sometimes the choice is between bad and worse.
In that case bad is better.

Are you really this naive IRL? The US government has its tentacles everywhere, including in Syria. As one Middle East expert put it: “It's fair to ask how much you really can remain aloof from a country where you have troops deployed [900] and where your local partner force controls a fourth of the territory. That’s a problem [Trump] going to have to grapple with from January onward.”

The reality is that one or more nations and groups are going to fill the power vacuum in Syria and if the US doesn't retain some influence in Syria, it will be ceding its power and influence in that part of the world to others.

Assad has fled Syria

Israeli forces have already moved into Syria to create a "security zone." Let's see who else follows.

I think that’s a bit overstated. Israel and Egypt are fortifying their borders with Syria.

Well, there is different kinds of involvement some support to the Kurds in Syria which we are probably doing VS fully engaged like we did in Iraq which is a disaster.

Too bad he got away and I hope the rebels find him and give him what he deserves.

The Syrian people can decide ghat for themselves.

Not a bad question, especially if the main force among those rebels are former alQaeda Islamists.

Perhaps I missed here, but where has Assad gone? Any sense of how many left with him? Is he on a “banned travel” list for UK, Western Europe?
