Syria is weak. hizbollah is almost entirely a proxy of Iran these days. Iran is the real danger. Also don’t dismiss the fact that Syria is ba’athist sunni regime. Given the way the middle east is beginning to draw battle lines between the sunnis and the shi’ites the syrians want nothing more than to get out of the shi’ite umbrella.
That’s why they’re making overtures at Israel(google their ongoing secret talks with israel) and the US. They want to sell out the shi’ites.

They’re NOT Sunni. They’re Alawite. Most muslims don’t even consider them Muslim.
