he didn't hold anything together. he would have been gone in a year if the entire world hadn't united against dawla. the rest came down to hizbullah, iran, and russian air support. once it was him and the saa, they lost like no army in my lifetime has lost before. i was following all of this live right here in /sg/. i was anxious about how far ht were stretching themselves. i thought homs was already a step too far. their crazy frontal assaults with the same strategy of cutting of glocs seemed doomed to fail. turns out it didn't matter - an army ten times their size literally just ran away. golani isn't a brilliant man. assad is a stupid man.
