The Russian Backed Syrian Republic has officially collapsed today as Rebel forces are rapidly advancing towards the capitol unopposed and Assad's brother conducts a coup to have him overthrown. SSG forces have advanced 50 miles in the past 24 hours and have taken the major city of Hama without a shot being fired. Russian and Syrian forces retreated from the town before the rebels even arrived. The situation is so sever the commander of Russian forces in Syria has been removed from his position, and Russia is in the process of evacuating remaining government officials loyal to Assad. Russian air forces have attempted to bomb the rebels in Aleppo but have lost aircraft as they have been shot down. Russia is struggling with manpower shortages and conducted a massive conscript raid in Moscow to get more manpower for the war in Ukraine.

I would be wary of these analyst and occasional AI videos claiming the Syrian government has collapsed, they tend to over dramatize during the opening of new fronts. It is the same kind of content that generated Knob Creek gun show as SDF battles in Idlib back in 2018, and was even reported by MSM as such until quiet retractions followed.
This fiasco is concentrated in the northern governates which were patrolled by Turkey. The terrorist militants have had safe refuge in this pocket for years on the border with Israel and Turkey, so NATO, Israel and the GCC have likely had plenty of time to arm them to the teeth. These are what is left of what was renamed from ISIS in this part of the country after president Trump cut the funding for the militants in that region in 2017. No more money to keep the powerful ISIS charade up, so Turkey took over and the group was renamed and realigned with Al-Qaeda affiliation.
This is the same pool of terrorists that Israel's Mossad likely pulled for the October 7 ISIS-K attack that they lumped into their controlled Hamas cells, and I alluded to as much in the week following Israeli 9/11 .
If you cannot tell, this is a direct hail-mary to distract Russia on the global chessboard as they continue their rapid advances along the front line in Ukraine and the Kursk counter-offensive.
Assad may very well have left his country, he did so the first time NATO, Israel, and the GCC states funded and manned the ISIS takeover of MENA in 2014 to secure that energy pipeline from the Arabian peninsula, through Syria, and to Israeli ports as well into Turkey for transit profit and European energy security. It looked all nice and pretty as an anti-terror op with its Hollywood level propaganda production directed at North American and European taxpayers to approve the wars through indifference as long as they were allowed to continue to YOLO. I guess the globalist cartels attempted facist takeover of America in 2020 kind of woke the world up. With Iran serving as the hegemon in Iraq though, the NATO/GCC/Israel/Pacific allies alliance will have a much harder time openly pouring tens of thousands of rabid psychotic fanatics and maniacs into Syria while not looking complicit. FFS, they are attacking from the areas bordering and controlled by the Alliance members, Israel, Turkey. Prior to that it was also Jordan and Iraq.
But now Iran backed militants and a subservient Iraqi government patrol the Western border so it is not as easy to sneak in the maniacs. They can only ever seem to attack from the areas under Turkish occupation and Bordering Israel. Funny for being concerned with radical Islamists, Israel never bombed any targets in the Idlib governate, where the actual radical Islamics in Syria are presently holed up. I am so tired of Turkey and Israel's support for radical Islamic terrorists.
