listen to how your crumpets eating father explains it.      assad is not popular, no way significant amount of troops will come, he has a stash of alawite troops hell never use to protect his homeland, meanwhile the rebels have aleppo, miles of country side for economic and more importantly population, filled with people that are happy ripe for training to bolster their ranks. they came this far with just the men they had in idlib, if this war goes dormant that would be better for the rebels 10x times than for assad.  > t-trump will solve ukraine and russia will help. we are still years from a peace deal
