The Assad regime has been steadily weakening for years with no significant progress since 2016, to the point where it can no longer provide its soldiers with even the minimum, sustainable salaries needed to survive, severely depleting its capabilities. Additionally, Hezbollah's well-trained ground forces, which had been a key support for the regime, withdrew to Lebanon after suffering heavy losses due to Israeli offensives. Furthermore, Russia, which had provided crucial air support, has scaled back its involvement as its focus has shifted to the war in Ukraine. The combined effect of these three factors has rendered the regime's military position increasingly obsolete.

IDF is degrading Hezbollah in Syria tremendously, and since Hezbollah backs Assad, he has been seriously weakened by it.

The Islamists in Iran have been bankrolling Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and even Iraq to some extent, for the past thirty years. That is why Iran is in such a dire state and Iranians so poor.

@ Erdogan’s close circle is in drug business. Check out Venezuelan ties and read Can Dundar’s reports on the MIT trucks. You either don’t know what you’re talking about or you’re lying. Just don’t.

[@mcdtubes]

@@lasttempoinparis Well sounds like your source sugar coated what's happening. Yes, they are also smuggling all those you listed, *on top of* the weapons and opium ;)

[@L.Ron.Hoyabembe]

Really hoping America doesn't try to get involved like they did a dozen years ago. Believe it or not there probably isn't a good side in this conflict.

[@user-ci4hi2ui2k]

There Is,the SDF

[@Waseem_Amin]

[@namnguyen-dp9zg]

Aloha Snackbar!

[@sassansohrabian6907]

this guy has no idea about this group this group is helped by turkey and Israel he is no expert

[@simpledude5974]

Turkey only supports and arms FSA not HTS. Keep quiet if you don't know.

[@0nikitsune-q4c]

​@@simpledude5974 it has been reported the FSA has joinned the offensive.

[@Holistic_Islam]

You’re the dumbest person if you think Israel is backing HTS. Let’s expose you. Give me one evidence that clearly shows Israel helping HTS. HTS is helped by Turkey.

[@mappingshaman5280]

​@@simpledude5974they help both but HTS doesn't suck turkeys 🍆 as much

[@FedericoSonnino]

Probably the best chance of surviving for Assad would be asking Israel for support in exchange of normalization and no more claim on golan hights. That could be huge but almost impossible

[@leonponce8437]

Here we see the USA supporting Al-Qaeda again. Will we ever learn?

[@cillcamst2]

Turkey.

[@edvinaspetrauskas7594]

Turkey support the USA with another group of group

[@koushikdas1992]

​@@edvinaspetrauskas7594 America is behind Turkey as well.

[@Aninkovsky]

I'm waiting for subtitle

[@MAG1C-ez4de]

martyr'd.. i wonder if they label everyone that dies as a terrorist... How mis-informed.

[@mrunstoppable6711]

Yeah that and they keep calling them rebels and not terrorist.

[@Avy.YT_shadowbans_comments]

@@mrunstoppable6711 they did use the term terror in the video.

[@mrunstoppable6711]

@ I was speaking more of the media in general.

[@ChrisVillagomez]

​@mrunstoppable6711 Rebels are just people rising up against a government, it doesn't matter what they do while rising up. You can be a terrorist and a rebel, or you could be just one, they aren't mutually exclusive terms.

[@mrunstoppable6711]

@ When the so called rebellion was created by a foreign power. When the so called rebellion was imported by that foreign power I call it terrorism (which is what it is).

[@mweskamppp]

different groups involved. Mostly islamists with Al-Qaida origin - they declared they separated from al-qaida though and only fighting for Syria. Not sure for its true. Assad is a minority leader that only holds on power by help of russia and islamists like hisbollah and iranian militia. Islamists too, just a different faction.

[@robwyyi]

Authoritarian regime by its nature runs short on forces . Specially when you need them to support regime and outward threats. Policing your territory and others always come up short of forces. This is the case of Syria. They don’t have Russians to support them. This sure sign of Russia is the natural spiral of authoritarian regime in the drain.

[@BigBratwurst]

terrorists, rebels, insurgents, Journalism has no shame

[@user-ci4hi2ui2k]

What Is this supposed to mean

[@m.3257]

They are not rebels, they are terrorists.

[@johnmaguire2185]

They made it in their 10 000s to Western Europe. So soon arriving in a village near you.

[@raj2487]

Most peaceful people for last 1400 years

[@timstauffacher8663]

Lets make one thing clear, the rebels are islamists, so both sides are terrible. The only ones in this conflict that I wouldn't consider malicious are the SDF.

[@BBHoffman-ur1oy]

Garbage reporting.....I won't waste my time with this channel again. I wasn't sure if it was objective news or not, but I got the answer pretty quickly.
