for those who are rejoicing that the militants are supposedly winning, i suggest you temper your fervor. because this is still a long way from over. because even if homs falls, even if the militants take damascus, it means nothing. because it's all about tartus. it is the alpha and omega of all of syria at the moment. it's very simple: all assad needs to do now is wait until february when trump takes office and forces zeleboba fucking zeleboba to unconditionally surrender, at which point russia will have a huge military reserve. millions of fighters with several years of combat experience will be free and can easily be sent to syria to restore order. they already have a lot of experience in counter-terrorist operations. tartus plays a major role in this. this is the port that connects russia with syria. as long as tartus is standing, russia can always send help to restore order. so for assad the plan is as clear as god's day - to hold on until february. if suddenly, allah forbid, it happens that damascus starts to fall, you just relocate yourself and your government directly to tartus and wait. the militants can't do a fucking thing to the city itself for many reasons. it's got ultra-modern air defense, the whole base is surrounded by mountains, it's got modern ew systems, and to approach it you have to go through the alawites - people who hate extremist militants. so those who write assad off are dead wrong. because at the moment there is no threat to his rule. damascus, homsk, hama, aleppo can all be liberated with no problem when the 700k russian men come in february who have already slaughtered millions of terrorists tougher than slippers. we just have to wait until trump orders the xmen to become part of the russian world. it's only 1.5 months. that's not a long time. i'm sure he can do it.
