Damascus has fallen. Assad’s government has collapsed.
61 years of Baathist rule in Syria, ended in 11 days.

They keep saying “lightning fast offensive,” and there really is no other way to describe it. “Cheetah fast offensive” doesn’t cover it. You could maybe say “warp portal offensive,” but no one in the media would say that. I would say it.
Apparently, “no one saw it coming.”
I don’t really have any desire to go into the details here, but the media has always portrayed all of these various groups as representing different interests. That is probably true of the individuals involved in these groups, who are believers in whatever their cause is, whether they are Islamic extremists, Kurdish ethnic liberationists, or Turkish shills. I’m sure the members of these groups would disagree on several things. However, they all have the same core objective, which is overthrowing the Assad government. They work together remarkably well, presumably because they all know their money is coming from America, and they know the Americans want them cooperating. (I’m sure they imagine that when Assad is gone, they will build whichever sort of utopia they envision, just like Ukrainians planned to build an Aryan Reich.)
“Rebels” from the CIA-sponsored, Turkish-backed “Free Syrian Army” (FSA) proudly told the Israeli media that they want to create a new pro-Israel regime in Damascus.
They thanked Israel for attacking Hezbollah and asked Israel for more help to overthrow Assad and attack Iran.… pic.twitter.com/bHwwjfwtab

This started on November 28, and now it looks like it’s going to be totally over by Monday. At least, that’s according to basically every report. I’m not in Damascus and I’m not personally witnessing terrorists marching on the city, but that is what everyone is saying.
As I’m typing, the dust is already settling, and it is pretty undeniable that it’s over.
Syrian Girl, who is the biggest Syrian account on Twitter and an Assad-supporter, has posted a surrender note.
The resistance was betrayed.
From Gaza, to Lebanon, to Syria.
The Axis may be over, but the resistance will remain. The genocidal terror state of Israel is Syria’s eternal enemy, and will always pose an existential threat.

The war began in 2011 and lasted into 2017, then it was more or less over, then all of the sudden, like a flash of lightning or perhaps a warp portal, these people are marching on Damascus and Assad has allegedly fled to Russia. The Russians and Iranians have both pulled out most of their forces, and video shows Syrian soldiers fleeing to Iraq. That all appears to be confirmed by Al-Jazeera, which has the most journalists on the ground and although it is not a pro-Assad outlet, it tends to be pretty straightforward about events on the ground, at least in situations where people will know in a day or two whether they were accurate.
Why Did It Happen Now?
It happened for the obvious reasons. Hezbollah and Iran, which had supported Assad, were stretched thin by Israel, Russia stretched thin by the Ukraine, Israel had been bombing heavily in Syria and elsewhere to support the terrorists, the US had unlimited money to pour into the terrorist armies, Turkey has various ambitions and strategic goals.
Everything obvious is responsible.
There also appears to have been major backstabbing by the Syrian Arab Army commanders. There was some kind of stand-down. The Syrians are now blaming Iran, which in itself is sort of lmao, all things considered. (They’re not saying Iran did it on purpose, but they’re saying Iran was a bad ally and was irresponsibly buying off army commanders in a way that didn’t work.)
What Does It Mean?
Well, it’s very good for Israel and it’s very bad for Iran. This breaks the “Shia Belt,” putting an Israeli-backed Sunni terrorist regime in the middle of that belt. It’s also not great for Russia, as aside from the fact that Russia was not able to defend Syria, Russia will lose their Mediterranean base there.
Oh, and it’s pretty bad for Palestine.
All in all, it’s a pretty big blow to those in opposition to the Jewish-American world domination scheme, and it partially isolates Iran, as Israel is setting the stage for an American operation to destroy Iran.
There is likely to be ongoing fighting in the country indefinitely, but it will not be useful to Russia or Iran or any of the others at any time in the foreseeable future. Assad had the authority to rule the country, and no one else really does. So you’ll have this al-Queada type force in Damascus and various groups fighting against them, but there isn’t going to be another stable government in the future.
Oh, and this new Syria will be a staging base for international terrorism, which the US government can blame on whoever they want to go to war with. Just like the government/media somehow managed to blame Saddam for 9/11, they will say “there are still many Iranians operating in Syria and they clearly planned this attack.”
It’s all unfortunate.
At least for most.
Fortunate for some.
