Conflict in Syria

[Dargo]

A larger number of Russian transport aircraft can now be seen at Khmeimim. The S-400 battery is packing up for transport. While tactical aviation is still there, Russian Forces appears to be consolidating at Khmeimim and Tartus. In short, a withdrawal is under way. Now it's clear that even if some temporary Russian presence in Syria was agreed upon, it will be a skeleton crew at best. Images captured by Maxar and Planet Labs reveal an increase in ground vehicles at the Hmeimim air base, the arrival of several large transport aircraft and the disassembly of Russian helicopters and air defences — all factors consistent with forces gathering there to depart. The Maxar imagery of Hmeimim captured two An-124 aircraft on the airport runway. The An-124 is the largest heavy-lift aircraft in the world, capable of carrying about 150 tonnes of cargo.

Three Il-76 transport aircraft, RussiaÂ’s workhorse heavy lifters, were also on the ground. Three An-32s and one An-

Its not clear to nom what the new current leader values higher: to itch the West by allowing the Russians to stay and make " fortune" from this, or to appease the West by not allowing and by that maybe inviting Western instead of Russian support. None of the possible outcomes I would call "obvious" at this time.

Well, I think all of the"Brain Pans"of NATO, Are squiggling, and asking themselves. Oh, how can we use this to our advantage? There is none. NATO and all of it's, wealthiest are playing a poker game, based on wokesim,The new Ideology and it will light the fires across this planet.The bitches of destruction never sleep.And they remerge,if you give them power and they can find wealth. Well you end up with the EU,NATO and War.

Will the United States, give up their naval base in Cuba ? Oh but no.Democracy is a fiction,that does not exist, only in the hivemind can it survive.In reality it's chaos.

With ally Iran, also bereft with the fall of the Assad regime, the matter will escalate out of control.

...too bad we can't shoot them down before the evacuating troops are redeployed in Ukraine; giving credence to Baba Vanga's WWIII prediction and bring things to a pretty pass per MIT's study that "civilization ends around 2040" anyhow. This is Russia's second bugout in the 21st century, since their swift departure from Afghanistan....and terrorist Osama Bin Laden once said "the US was a 'paper dragon'!!?

150 mass graves containing about 75,000 bodies of detainees were discovered in one area, the Al-Hussainiya area in the Damascus countryside behind the Conference Palace. Each hole is 20 meters deep.

Everyone kinda gets focused on the Assad regime.
But they have to examine the other groups too.

The Turkish backed rebels, or even the Kurds...are also doing war crimes.
And don't forget that sleeping cells of ISIS are still active.

[Dargo]

The focus on the Assad regime is because this regime has committed Nazi like war crimes so heinous it is child play what the rebel forces have committed and war produce war crimes in any war on any side. I surely not focus on Assad alone, I try to follow all factions also the foreign actors in this country.

I am looking forward to April 2025. Will Syria have had their first election in March or what ?

Of course no one can predict the future. I hope they, the sitting government, decide to choose free election when their time is over 17th of March

I'm a bit pessimistic about having elections. In a unstable country. where different factions still fight each other.
In the perfect scenario. You should have hostilities being ON HOLD, or just fixed. Then you can have general organised elections.

The general fighting in Syria needs to stop. A cease fire. Then you can hold elections.

[Dargo]

All factions are talking all foreign partners are talking the whole Arab region is talking to each other to get this country a stabile government on the moment agreements are being agreed on. Syria itself wants peace their country is in ruin they want peace and a stabile country this includes the two mayor factions 1 a democratic one more democratic than our ones Rojava is becoming a direct democracy. In a month or 3 we will see if all that talking has any result, thing is everybody wants to stop this war.
