Interesting, coup underway in Damascus by Hassan Louka, Assad’s chief of General Security and Assad’s point man on moving Syria out of Irans orbit and more towards the Russians. Possibly a Russian sponsored coup. pic.twitter.com/449OmW9O0g

#5 Syrian Salvation Government group (mostly Tahrir al-Sham fighters), the ones that took most of Aleppo and Homs last week, are mostly old AlQ and Isis folks and seem to be funded and supplied by Türkiye. Not unlike the old Isis.

The eastern part of Aleppo was captured by the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces), mostly Kurdish, who took the opportunity when it presented itself.

After driving out Assad, we should just watch all these guys fight each other (which they will) and not get involved.

The Russians want to keep their Naval Base at Latakia, so they'll probably get really involved if the conflict approaches that area. I believe they're already doing a cursory bombing of Aleppo.

#8 I thought ISIS had been destroyed. My bad, I forgot Bidet was the installed POTUS for the last four years. The last four years was when everything went to hell.
