HTS rebel commander says forces have begun to enter Homs War monitors, the leader of the HTS fighters and pro-government media all reported late on Saturday that forces loyal to President Bashar Assad had largely withdrawn from the country's third city, Homs.

The head of the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdurrahman, said Syrian troops and members of different security agencies had withdrawn from Homs, and that HTS forces had started to enter the suburbs.

It’s a bad year for Iran. Hezbollah in Lebanon and now Assad in Syria.

There's no place like Homs. Click your heels together and say that three times.

George W. Bush, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Kamala, Alec Baldwin, George Clooney, Bob Woodward, Jennifer Rubin and George Will.

Outside of those 9, I don’t think anyone else watches CNN.

Well... not directly...
But indirectly it concerns America as well.

Proof:
This is what Trump said about it (he is mocking the Russians):

Trump also argued that “Russia is not equipped to help defend its ally al-Assad against the most recent insurgence because of the war it is waging in Ukraine.

“...Russia, because they are so tied up in Ukraine, and with the loss there of over 600,000 soldiers, seems incapable of stopping this literal march through Syria, a country they have protected for years,” Trump said in the post.

Russia is hit hard in Syria right now, it has lost many bases, soldiers a fleeing everywhere, they are evacuating their naval force, and soon their entire foothold in Syria.

For Russia... it looks like America’s debacle under Biden not that long ago!
They have already lost billions in a matter a 48 hours in lost equipment, planes, etc... All taken by the rebels.

Correction:

For Russia... it looks like America’s AFGHANISTAN debacle under Biden not that long ago!

[Flaming Conservative]

I haven’t been following this; are the rebels any better than Assad?

[Lurker]

Don’t care. This is Red on Red.

We should just sit back and enjoy the show.
