[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been said that if Homs falls, Israel will invade in the south to create a buffer zone.[/quote]

This is very bad for the Israelis. I am surprised they have not invaded and crushed the rebels forces. At least make some air strikes on the rebels? Like you say it is a golden opportunity for the Israelis take some territory though the IDF suffered a lot of casualties in Lebanon. [/quote]

Why?  Given Iran is on Assad's side right now, Israel is probably funding the rebels.[/quote]

Iran is out. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/world/middleeast/iran-syria-evacuation.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes

Russia is out. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/12/06/russians-in-syria-urged-to-leave-country-a87254

Assad is done.[/quote]

Seems so. Erdogan didn’t mince his words today either. I’m not quite sure what Turkey’s beef is with him, but they sure want him gone. I thought the Kurds were anti-Assad too. [/quote]

Assad, like Saddam, is not Islamic.[/quote]

Islamic by birth and culture and Islamic by government are two different things completely. It's like Joe Biden wanting to create a Catholic government in the US.  It does not work and only extremists believe in religious nationalism. The rebels and Israel get along because of this sole commonality.  The US has large elements of religious nationalism embedded into the military and Israel first is baked into Evangelical Protestantism which is a large influence on the military including Bible verses on barrels of guns and Crusade terminology when discussing ME wars.

In the multi-faith Levant, majority rules in democracy so minorities wont have any representation. Assad is part of a religious minority as an Alawite Shia Muslim. The best form of government in the Middle East is what Iraq and Syria had which was socialist Baathist secular dictators. America doesnt want to accept that our democracy is only about the executive branch, but our courts and legislators consists of lifelong judges and Senators like Joe Biden. Joe Biden has served longer than Assad and the current Iranian regime.[/quote]
