ISW Update Dec 9

quote:

Key Takeaways:

The Kremlin continues to cautiously signal that it can ensure the security of Russian military bases in Syria in the short-term but notably has expressed uncertainty about the long-term future of the military bases against the backdrop of the volatile and rapidly evolving political situation in Syria.

Russia has removed some vessels from the Port of Tartus to a nearby area offshore.

The Syrian Embassy in Moscow confirmed to Kremlin newswire TASS on December 9 that former Syrian President Bashar al Assad is in Moscow.

Russia continues to face staggering costs required to maintain its war effort against Ukraine, with mounting economic strain, labor shortages, and systemic corruption threatening the sustainability of the Russian defense industrial base (DIB).

Russian President Vladimir Putin promoted Chechen Akhmat Spetsnaz Commander Apty Alaudinov and Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yunus-Bek Yevkurov amid ongoing Kremlin efforts to shift blame for Russia's inadequate response to Ukraine’s incursion into Kursk Oblast onto local government officials and away from the military.

The Russian government claimed to have returned the bodies of deceased Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) who were allegedly killed in the January 24 Russian Il-76 military transport aircraft crash in Belgorod Oblast.

Russian forces recently advanced near Pokrovsk and Velyka Novosilka.

Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to highlight Russian officials who sponsor Russian volunteer units in Ukraine and the "Time of Heroes program," which places veterans of the war in Ukraine in leadership positions within the Russian federal and regional governments.

Why the hell is Israel doing this?



Because the Russian Air Force isn't around to stop them anymore.

If you're Israel, are you really thinking that a friendly government might emerge from Syria that wants normal relations?

The advances in the last week have been more modest than those in October and November. At this point, it's impossible to say if that's a temporary phenomenon, or if it means that the Russian offensive is peaking and is now slowly starting to grind to a halt. But it bears watching.

A horrific video of Turkish-backed SNA militants going into a hospital in Manbij and shooting injured SDF fighters in their hospital beds.

A reminder that not all of Syria is at peace right now.

I’ve been impressed with Jolani. From a translation of his speech in Damascus last night he was very conciliatory in victory:

“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves“


Wait . . . that was Lincoln.

All the dead Christians in Ukraine weren't enough for you and your Globalist heroes. Now you're all salivating at the upcoming massacre of the Christians in Syria.

Russian pundits lamenting the fact of Syria falling and trying to put the blame on Syrians. Worse than the US "neocons" putting the blame on Afghanis

You seemed to think they would work with us a day or two ago. Good (or at least neutral) relations with Israel are kind of a prerequisite for working with the US.

Not that I necessarily disagree with your premise as a whole, but at a point a country has to stand on its own feet. If our installed Afghan government fell literally as we were leaving, it probably was never going to be successful to begin with no matter what we did.

Nope. That ship has sailed.

My children's pediatrician is from Syria, is Addad's second cousin, and was in medical school with him. Said he was a great guy. And that when his brother was killed drag racing through the streets of Damascus, the secret service came to him (in London) and said: You have two choices, either come back to Syria and begin to assume power. Or, the person who does take power after your dad dies is going to have you and your family killed in order to eliminate you as a threat.

So he shut down his medical practice and goes back to Syria.

I've never had a problem with Assad. I never had a problem with Sadaam Hussein. He ran Iraq with an iron fist which is how you have to run the place. Iraq was a clean, functioning country that kept Iran in check. All before W blew the place up and destabilized the ME.

I'm wondering why you attack people on here personally, when you don't even know us? You call us monsters, and disgusting, and evil. Because we don't like Putin?

We all know way more about you personally than you know about us. And your admitted personal behavioral issues are for more monstrous than anyone else here in this thread.
