Britain offered to support Frances claim to the Spanish thrown.The price was they had to stop being a safe haven for the old and young pretenders. Russia would have to hand Assad back to get a deal..

[cyberfunk]

It's not going to be very popular in Syria if they let Russians stay there in any capacity. I would guess they will let as many Russians leave voluntarily as possible before telling the rest to leave. It's easier to kick out some remaining 300 than some 3000.

Regarding Russian nuclear power plants in Syria, Syria would be wiser to shut them DOWN, than risk Russian sabotage. If not, Syria can find nuclear experts from other countries.

[tomcolvin]

There is no doubt, Russia losing Syria as a whole will be a disaster.

[Tomsnare-jt]

They dealt with Israel so anything is possible.

New words added to a song of the week - ‘ All I hear is bad news, all I hear is sad news, on radio Africa, ( new verse here, because of the Marxists and Lavrov😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Fluxiton]

They probably will but I think they have more important issues at the moment like dealing with the israel land grab. I like the argument of Israel being a stabilising force in the region but who can say that with a straight face now.

Professing about moral compasses after glossing over US occupation of North Easy Syria, theft of oil wealth and how this puts them at odds with their supposed NOTA alliance member Turkey - do tell which direction the needle points 😁

[ViewBothSides]

With a GDP smaller than Italy (unless you go the PPP route and scale it up according to how poor the population are), Russia is like the emperor with no clothes (just nukes). Russia's delusion of global relevance is sad to watch, as it detracts from any focus on serious domestic issues.

Who ever comes to control Syria is going to need logistics hubs. A ready made port and airbase would be too tempting to allow to be lost to an external force.The port and airbase can not remain in the hands of Russia.

Syria has nuclear power stations run by Russia. Hence why they can’t cut alliance immediately.

We can all analyse and ask questions, the reality is there are no good answers and no good trade offs in the Syria situation. For example it's all well and good digging at Israel, but for them to leave heavy duty military hardware and chemical weapons facilities in tact, when we don't even know who will be in control of that military hardware it in six months time, would be an act of absolute stupidity.
I hope things work out for them, but the truth is for Syria, what will be will be. There is no controlling this situation now. A revolution doesn't end when the existing powers are removed, that's only the half way mark.

[stephenfarthing]

Hmmm! Indeed, there's a cautious situation devellopping ! This new Syrian regime seems less than keen with Russia - although I remain pragmatically cautious of this regime I believe that it's probably wiser to improve the situation. By acknowledging it's prudent to develop connection with this new Syrian government. I rather doubt that Trump will go that way, Russia has a habit of over rotation of truth.

[kailashpatel]

The former SAA and the NDF (the Syrian reserves) will slowly build up an insurgency

[johnwalsh]

depends if Erdogan is OK with that, so far Erdogan no like Russians in Syria.

[georgedoolittle]

Syria and Ukraine are attempting to form a *"strategic partnership"* is the headline anyways and if this be done an answer to the North Korean fighting presence in Russia against Ukraine will suddenly be had as if effected no longer will Ukraine be have had a manpower shortage quite the opposite. Presumably Israel will stand against this as having Syrian military personnel trained and fighting in Ukraine against Russia would form in theory a very powerful *"core"* to an entirely new and obviously currently very bad Syrian military. Still Syria is very much fighting for its independence right now no different from Ukraine so no, i don't see Russia returning to Syria at all but certainly France has reopened its Embassy (ies?) there and with that presumably an entree for the entire West to link up upon in all Syria/move oil possibly through "Kurdistan" through to the Mediterranean and from there Europe as a whole. Basically *"Ukraine supplants Russia in Syria."* I think your viewer would be greatly aided if understood that Russia and Assad go back to the 1950s so on or about 70 Years is how long Western States have been out of Syria...a *VERY* long time needless to say. The only way for Russia to get back there would be to blast their way through to Azerbaijan and prepare to take Tehran as happened during World War 2 back in USSR times. If true that would mean making some alliance with *"Kurdistan"* ahem...provided there even *IS* a Russia in 6 Months of course. #NATO in Syria as a "Naval matter" is another aspect #irony gather up the Russian soldiers abandoned there to help repatriate but yes how a #troop_rotation works as is being done remarkably well in Ukraine would very much inform your viewers too/also. There being no Naval component to Ukraine defense against Russia War such a NATO matter could be stood up upon in Western Syria in order to secure Syria energy exports and stand up an economy there to help stabilize "whatever that is" anyways. Either way Russia needs to immediately be *OUT* of Ukraine as that is what has absolutely *WRECKED* the Russian economy with reports of #food_lines now being reported there. Trying to "negotiate" with such a suddenly negatively changing situation now January 2, 2025 seems like a fools errand to me as a consequence so what Europe wants out of a post Putin Russia would appear to be at hand😊😊

It wouldn’t be a good idea to kick out the brown bear while the eagle, a lion, a gray wolf, and a pack of hyenas are still in Syria. Instead, it’s time to make promises to all sides and stage a lot of false flags.
