And the 200,000 man Syrian army and tens of thousands of IRGC are working on that with Russian air and other support

I think the Russians know a thing or two about fighting the Mujahideen.

It is far easier to take the country than it is to occupy it and administer it.

They found that out and so did we......

However, Russia has a big advantage in Syria if they can keep Assad in power - he has proven he could run the country and has the tools needed to do it. Nobody can run Afghanistan and Iraq was only ruled through an iron fist and fear.

Syrian Civil War isn’t going to end overnight. Most likely 3-5 years left.

Anyone still read this garbage?

If you do still read it, whenever a left wing bsing media refuses to put in the names of the bozos, who wrote the trash, don’t bother going past the title.

He’s a analyst with the SecDev group.

Their home office is in Canada.

They seem to know what they are doing. I don’t see any lefty connections..

But based on your reply, I think I’ll let you readup on them, and make your own mind up.

But I would caution you that what you think you know about Russia, is largely what they want you to think and not what is actual reality.

Unless Trump is filmed with underage boys his followers will continue supporting him.
Folks like me are that fed up with trash like Rubio, Bush and ALL the other LYING politicians.
