Syrian Civil War. After the Fall of Aleppo, and the Fall of Hama, the decisive battle between HTS rebels and the pro-Assad Syrian Army will take place in Homs. How can we explain this sudden collapse of the Syrian Army?

Did you watch the video to the end? They don't look "less organized" to me, nor do they look like they're hurting for money, food, ammo, or anything else. In fact, they appear to be about as well organzied as one could expect, a battlefield being what it is.
That is impossible, because I’ve been confidently informed that it’s THA JOOOS who will be slaughtering Christians in Syria:
“Oh well…I guess Israel will just have to take over some more territory from them, kill more Christians and get one step closer to “Greater Israel”.
When are people going to wake up and understand what is going on here?

So this is bad then. New partner for Iran?
I have no doubt the Dems have some stink finger in that mess.
they picked a bad time to try and be a terrorist state with Trump in charge here
Muslims, like Democrats, have an amazing way of coming together to defeat their enemies. Even if their opinions differ greatly.
If you’re a Christian, congratulations, now you’re a refugee, if you’re lucky.
Israel has bombed Syrian arms depots and occupied a slice of the Golan Heights formerly occupied by Syrian troops. As those moves suggest, Israel now has much greater freedom of action in Syria due to the lack of a coherent Syrian state.
That there is more latitude doesn't mean the situation is safer. Those weapons are easily resupplied, as we've seen.

I'm not. Nor am I fool enough to deem it a good thing either.
As much as a stable and minimally dangerous Syria might be preferred, it was not on offer for the long term. The sounder approach is to figure out how to deal with the consequences of the inevitable fall of the Assad regime.
I think the 2 main reasons we let Turkey into NATO are
1. We could put Jupiter ICBMs close the the Soviet southern border
2. Control the Dardanelles and block the Black Sea Fleet from the Mediterranean.
