from the most direct reports I've been seeing, the initial pushes on Aleppo and Homs weren't overwhelming but the SAA would repeatedly 'withdraw' and 'reposition' rather than fight directly, which rapidly led to a loss of faith from the local populations, which in turn led to disobedience and desertions.
there was an enormous PR push EVERYWHERE - not just on the usual western platforms like twitter and reddit but chans, niche telegram channels etc.
on the ground there was the usual trickery, proclaiming that they'd taken cities and towns they were fighting on the outskirts of (ie. having small teams sneak into key positions and take photos with the implication that they'd been conquered etc), but even in small tg channels (sub-1000 members) there were floods of new members who joined JUST to doompost about how towns were being lost, the SAA had no chance, Assad had fled (literally a day after the attacks started) etc.
on paper the SAA should've been able to blunt the offensive, especially with complete air superiority, and endured, but command seems to have totally broken down and left individual units to act on their own initiative

ja, on paper only.
fact is they dont have any air superiority and their air spaces are frequently breached by isreali planes and turkish drones.
and now i read that US A-10s are bombing syrian territory with impunity.
it all seemes like the entire syrian mikitary cimmand has been bought out and paid off and i think its entirely asssards fault.
theres no way his army could have failed this badly if he wasnt asleep at the wheel. i always despise "leaders" that run away without putting a fight.

"War" is just a giant money laundering operation, where filthy rich multi-national corporations create killing fields in order to empty tax coffers worldwide. They keep moving pieces of the machine around to keep people occupied and confused, using up all the hardware as fast as they can killing people so the people have to buy more, they have all the politicians worldwide in their back pocket now. Trillions of dollars in "aid" are emptied out of the tax coffers worldwide and exported to corrupt and defeated countries, where all the crooks can pick it up easily without any tracking or tracing. The entire planet is now a corpocracy. Blatant. Defiant. Resourceful. Only the born idiots don't see it. It has nothing at all to do with war, and everything to do with immense profit and the ultimate demonic power.

Al-Assad is a CIA/Mi6/DGSE/Mossad operative, installed as an obedient puppet.

New statements from Iran indicate that this was all Assad.
He had no fight in him anymore; he was trying to pursue normalisation of relations with Turkey and the Gulf States and had refused to directly open a front with israel when asked (this puts Iran's statements of 'each resistance member setting their own level of involvement' into perspective). Iran reported rearmament and reorganisation of HTS forces in Idlib 2-3 months ago, but instead of acting Assad simply took Turkey's assurances that 'there's nothing to see here' at face value.
Russia says Assad was in negotiations with UAE from the beginning of the attack, indicating it was all theatre and he might've just been trying to minimise casualties.
All in all I don't know why he didn't hand leadership over to someone he trusted rather than letting those retards take over. Maybe he thought a secular Syria couldn't continue to exist, or that they were a problem that was never going away, but now Syria's going to be carved up on religious lines and the interests of foreign powers

I really wish people would stop blaming me for this.

Al Qaeda is in charge in Syria and Israel is taking advantage of the situation, bombing every any way advanced military or military-adjacent installation
, making sure the country can never be a threat to the ethnostate again. The Russians are packing up, and Assad, an upper middle class management sort who somehow inherited an Arab socialist dictatorship has taken off to Moscow. I imagine he probably has a bunch of apartments for rent there, he seems like the sort with a property portfolio. The sort who is never late asking for the rent. Him and his french wife and his kids - one is a dentist*, one is a maths nerd, were unlikely national rulers and players on the world stage.
*He's an actual dentist too, that's not some scary torture nickname or anything. What sort of a lameass dictator insists his kids go to dentist school so they have something to fall back on in case dictatoring doesn't work out?
