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?
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.

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.

Russia has no available material assets to send Syria, they are entirely bogged down with Ukraine and can’t spare the manpower of machinery.
