Russlands Schwäche wird durch den Zusammenbruch Syriens deutlich

Submission Statement: “Rebel advances through the cities and hinterland of Syria reveal a Russia that’s strong on rhetoric and short of hard power.” Benjamin Dubow discusses how recent rebel advances in Syria, particularly the fall of Aleppo, highlight Russia’s diminishing influence and military power in the region. Despite its historical role as a key security guarantor, Russia’s response has been minimal, reflecting a broader pattern of weakened support for its allies amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. Former allies, like Armenia and Central Asian states, are seeking alternative security arrangements, providing further evidence of a decline in Russia’s geopolitical standing.

If you think Russia is weak because a proxy loses to Turkey’s invasion, what do you think of US getting its arse kicked by a bunch of “mud hut dwellers” not once but every time since 1953?
