The ME is a shite show because it's ground zero for a popular irrational-fanatical religion and the worlds most important resource.

This sort of thinking is why the Middle East is a shitshow in the first place.


No, the main problem is ultimately Islam.

You left out the part where the west continues to pick winners and losers among the factions of the irrational fanatical religion.

Looks like Biden might achieve Obama's dream of removing Assad from power before he leaves office if the Syrian military keeps collapsing at the rate that it has been collapsing.

This does not appear to be a move of strength by Biden. Rather, it appears to be exposure of the current weakness of Russia and Iran. Don’t give credit where it’s not likely due.

What happened in the last week or so that caused the Syrian army to basically just pack up and flee?

SAA has been a corpse propped up by Iran and Russia. The past few years more and more support has vanished as Russia invaded Ukraine and Iran is dealing with Israel.

The writing was on the wall that they were left alone against the rebel groups that have been protected by Turkey. No use in getting summarily executed after fighting for a dead man walking in Assad.

The slightest bit of pressure broke them. It’s been largely bloodless.

Would X make up its mind. First they say that he has fled Syria and now they say he has crashed in Syria.

If this true then the Syrian Arab Republic is history. Let’s all welcome the world’s newest nation, the Islamic Republic of Syria.

Most reports say that he sent his family to Moscow yesterday. Those reports could be mistaken because it’s a fluid situation but that’s what I am seeing.

If the rebels have the media then they have won. Now the game of thrones begins.
