Islamist US proxies have captured Damascus. Bashar’s government has fallen. Is it joever for the Axis of Resistence?
How did this happen so suddenly? Did the Syrian army just desert their posts or they didn’t have equipment or what?
people overestimate the resources the axis of resistance has
Sure but I’d expect them to put up a fight, this almost looks like it was prearranged.
They did put up a fight. They’ve been depleted over a 10+ year long civil war. War fatigue set in long ago, and supplies and fresh recruits started drying up a long long time ago.
Did Russia betray Assad? The way the transfer of power happened so quickly, without resistance and no push back from Russia seems suspicious. Maybe Russia got sick of Assad?
I think that Russia is biding their time, for better and worse.
Bidding their time for what?? The war is lost, and I don’t feel like Russia has the assets to launch a sustained naval invasion of the region.
I’m moreso talking about when the overall socialist/anti-imperialist bloc rises up against the imperialist bloc.
Which will come when exactly? If Syria or Palestine aren’t worth anything, when will they rise up? I am entirely disillusioned with Russia.
Correct, they won’t even stop business with countries that are outright hostile to them let alone stick up for Palestine, Syria, or Lebanon.
But did you forget that Russian capitalist arms companies have to make profit?
I’ve tried to say this for years at this point, but I feel like people here have gone way to far in their “critical support” and genuinely believe they Russia is the second coming of the Soviet Union…: when they’re an opportunistic, rabidly reactionary, capitalist state. One that just so happens to be anti-US.
Russia has no available material assets to send Syria, they are entirely bogged down with Ukraine and can’t spare the manpower of machinery.
