“In a speech delivered in early June, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah claimed that “the whole world can not remove us from Syria.”
Won’t need the whole world. Just a green light from Putin, some IAF pilots with time on their hands, and a half hour. Where will they go next? Straight to hell.
Hezbollah fighters do not represent a country. They are just members of Hezbollah, a sect in Lebanon. They are in Syria because they are being paid to be in Syria. Find out who is financing them and persuade them to stop. Then, no more Hezbollah in Syria. Or, probably, anywhere else, for that matter.

Could it be Assad is in the process of deciding who is it’s better friend, Iran or Russia, and feeling maybe it’s Russia?
I think Russia has less designs on Syria as in interfering with Assad than does Iran, and that Iran’s “friendship” with Assad has always been self-serving on the part of the Mullahs of Tehran, to get them closer to Israel. Assad sees that that is leading to confrontations with Israel that he neither wants nor needs. I think, maybe, Israel is getting through to Assad through the Russians.
Quite clear now that Russia is siding with Israel in demanding that the debris leave Syria. Given that this is a Russian demand, the debris would be very smart to comply.
In the same breath, we see Putin with Merkel or Net.
