Während wir sprechen, könnte Aleppo gefallen sein. Die Russen fliehen ebenso wie die Überreste von Assads Armee, und der Gouverneur ist Berichten zufolge geflohen. Assad ist noch nicht aus Moskau zurückgekehrt. Sollte er nicht zurückkehren, haben die Rebellen gute Chancen auf einen Vorstoß in Richtung Damaskus

Two birds one stone in Moscow.
One side is posting videos like “nothing is even happening, idk what you guys are even talking about!”
The other side is posting videos of fleeing Russians and celebrations in the street.
What the fuck are we supposed to do with all that? Guess we’re waiting for the light of day to shine some truth onto the situation.
It’s only 8:50 PM in Syria at the time I’m writing this.
I’m watching this situation with great interest (although so many of the factions in the anti-assad coalition are reprehensible, that it could easily turn into a cluster if Assad is deposed).
The direct applicability to a forum on the Ukranian war might be questioned, but I’d argue that given Russia’s prolonged involvement in the conflict, this (as well as the failures in Africa) might be a good indicator as to the overall health of their forces–ie, with reports of a lot of Russians killed around Aleppo, we’d expect to see a robust response for evacuation or reinforcement. If that doesn’t happen, it would imply that Russian forces are stretched even thinner than believed, which may have a direct predictive value for success or failure in Ukraine, and would also bode poorly for their efforts to increase their influence in Iran.

Who is fighting on which side? Assad, Iran, Russia vs. Turkey and IS?
Who do you cheer for in a battle of terrible and worse?
If it makes Russia’s ability to cause global mischief weaker, it’s a good thing.
Look – they’ve got us cheering for islamofascist jihadis. What a world.
