full retreats leaving behind significant stockpiles of weapons and ammunition? The sudden loss of important territories? And you minimize it and try to cash it out over ALL of putin's enterprises? Why? This means something. It's not a development you can turn into a nihilistic nothing.
Are the Rebels better or worse than Assad for Israel? That is the only question on my mind about Syria. I don't know if they are ISIS or Al Qaeda. Who are the rebels?
David, what foreign country will you be running off to? Don’t mean to be disrespectful, but you don’t need to stay here for the coming shitshow. No one with means needs to stay.

Broad strokes,
HTS are Sunni extremists
SNA more pro democratic, former FSyrianArmy, Turkish supported.
On Assad side,
SAA are Assad's army
SDF are Kurdish, pro Western, have been getting by with some Assad help.
Trump is a security catastrophe preceded by decades of American security failures and a little thing called Citizens United.
