The CIA was in Syria prior to 2013 to influence a coup against Assad. Russia intervened militarily in the civil war in 2015 but had been backing Assad's regime for years prior.

This BBC article from 2012 about the Port of Tartus significance and the Russian response to downplay its utility sheds light on the geo-political game that's being played.

How vital is Syria's Tartus port to Russia?
:mjlol: at Russia's response. They even got a think tank to be like "Nope. Nothing to see here. :mjgrin:"

Right.

At least when the US Govt lies they create elaborate back stories

The Russians will literally stare at you and lie about the same shyt you're both seeing. They just play by different rules over there.

Yai'll still ain't get it yet.

Yes it does fukkboi.... :coffee: You're just a spoke in the big wheel too...
This dude thinks because he has an understanding of "realpolitik" that it somehow makes him a guru and more important and enlighten than he really is.

Its not really a difficult concept to understand and anyone with a basic understanding of history can understand it.

You can’t argue with these fools in here.

They somehow equate supporting military actions means we support Trump :snoop:


Whether Y’all want to believe it or not, some other countries do fukked up things and because of our military power we can play world police.

Every foreign country I’ve been to when I was in the service folks told us how grateful they were for us.

Continue to live yall fairytale world where if it wasn’t for America there would be world peace :mjlol:
you're a marine right you ever been to Okinawa how welcomed did you feel there.

I await the next airstrike and your internal outrage.

I have no love for syria or the greater middle east... :manny: but I do know that America's military is constantly in the wrong being the world's policemen, it's nothing honorable about the military's actions around the world because for every good thing they do, there's a ton of negative shyt they do that people don't understand... shyt is gonna get to a point where the military is not gonna be necessary they cause more trouble than what it's worth... You can't be the world's policeman and expect your actions to go unanswered...

Keep sucking that american jingoistic nationalistic dikk nap... suck it dry til it clogs down your throat...:dame:

We really have people in here running the narrative the US launched/staged a chemical attack in syria?

In the Russia thread of all places dudes are running the Russia narrative because they can't stomach that fukked up shyt actually happens and there doesn't have to be some neat little narrative that makes it make sense.

Damn, some of y'all are sheltered, jaded, or both.

Yes I was stationed in Okinawa and the Philippines.

We were well received in Okinawa because they saw us as the ones who were stopping North Korea & China from bombing them back to the 11th century.

Of course there were some who didn’t want us there because of noise pollution & we were draining part of the ocean to make a new runway for our jets but :yeshrug:

We break them off for being allowed to be there so they gotta deal with it.

From everything the regime has been doing it seems to be is use population transfer to crush the rebellion. Basically those oppose the regime are departed to Idlib. Its does a few things. One is it basically turns a national armed insurrection into a Islamist insurgency in one province. Two it prevenst future insurrections. Basically you depart the people who oppose you elsewhere and fill those ares with regime loyalist and foreign fighters along with their families. And another is you send battle harded rebels all in one place where they will liekly be more bitter and radicalized. Idlib has become the Kandahar of Syria. It will will become a jihadist/islamist playground that even those who support the rebels will be uncomfortable to support. The West will simply ignore Syria as they will see the war has morphed into a jihadist insurgency. In the long run Turkey will eventually take Northern Syria from the Kurds. And they will dump all their Syrian refugees into Northern Syria. The rebels will join the TFSA. And the TFSA will fight against the Al Nusra's and TIP in Idlib. Northern Syria will become a Turkish FSA micro state. And a cold peace will be agreed. basically you will have two Syrias. One where the regime control and the other where the entire oppostion will be departed to and be recruited to be Turkish proxies against Kurdish separatist.

And the Kurds will be confined to East of the Euphrates which Erdogan keeps talking about.

But this is basically where things are going now.
