So let US or Israel bomb them now. Keep Ruzzian planes in pieces

Getting Russians out of Syria and Syrian bases will be a blessing for Africa as well. I am probably stating the obvious.

Have secured a deal with HTS, as the provisional government, to leave within a 75 day period. Personally I suspect that they will try and renew the lease with the new regime. However I find it hard to believe after what Russia has done in Syria this will happen. Turkey is also very much in

the ascendency in Syria it won’t want the Russians there. Turkish intel chief has already been in Damascus and Turkey has reopened its embassy after 8 years of no relations. President Erdogan has sworn to pray in the Great Abassid Mosque in Damascus. The Assad family tombs near Latakia were

opened and the Hafez Assad’s corpse exhumed and the whole place torched, his body smashed before burning.
Clearly there’s plenty of resentment.
Over 500,000 refugees have returned from Turkey and many more expected to follow when they have somewhere to live. Turkish businessmen have been scouting

Out for construction sites and valuable contracts rebuilding the country - and they won’t be the only ones. There’s a lot to put right and it will take an international finance and aid program to make it happen- if peace can be sustained. For that Russia and Iran need to be kept out.

I have seen reports of RU military cargo aircraft flying over Turkey to southern RU again, which was not the case since the start of RU invasion of UA - they had to fly over the Caspian Sea and Iran to Syria. Which means whatever those bastards are moving will turn up at the UA front most likely

Yes they’re flying transports over Turkey - obviously Turkey is happy to have them leave the base so why hinder it? The sooner they’re gone the better. Israel will also benefit because that base was the centre of a major Russian GPS jamming site that blanketed Lebanon and northern Israel.

Hardly surprising given the loses

Yes, after everything Russia has done to Syria I cannot imagine HTS allowing them to remain

I hope that the new regime is wise enough to reject a renewal

This analysis from the Australian public media outlet ABC suggests rebels may have had a deal with Russie to let them keep their bases? Amd Russia will look to Houthis in yemen as an alternative partner in the region? Some of the analysis seems dated to me… https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-15/vladimir-putin-bashar-al-assad-syria-regime-houthi-rebels/104705392?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=link

Indeed, we have more than once recently switched on the in-car GPS only to find it's telling me I'm in Beirut which is a couple of hundred miles to the east!

Must be tough getting an Uber.

Indeed, although here in Cyprus it's not like London. Our taxi drivers are not from Somalia and know all the roads.

Do you think one could set a timed motion sensor triggering something that makes a bang - 1 hour or 30,000ft into the flight, whichever comes first :-)
