Assad regime collapses as Syrian rebels seize control of Damascus​


Syrian rebel groups seized control of Damascus on Sunday and declared the country to be "free," following the capture of several major cities in a lightning offensive over the past several weeks.

Why it matters: The rebels' move into Damascus with no meaningful resistance is proof of the de facto collapse of the Assad regime, which has clung to power through 14 years of civil war.

  • It's a stunning development and another major regional earthquake after a year of war in the Middle East, further destabilizing Syria and the region in the short term.
  • In the longer term, it could have dramatic implications not only for Syria, but also its allies: Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah, which helped keep President Bashar al-Assad in power after the 2011 uprising.
State of play: Reuters reported on Sunday morning local time that Assad has left Damascus to an unknown location.

  • On Sunday morning, the rebels also took control of the infamous Sednaya prison in the suburbs of Damascus and freed hundreds of prisoners.
  • Videos on social media showed Syrian soldiers leaving their positions in Damascus, taking off their uniform and changing to civilian clothes.
  • Al Jazeera and other Arab TV networks aired videos of thousands of people in the main square of Damascus cheering and celebrating the fall of the Assad regime.
  • Damascus International Airport is also under rebel control.

A total loss for Vlad Putin who invested a decade of Ruasian blood and treasure propping up Assad.

What does this even say? You're a mess.

The Biden foreign policy encouraged Iran to use its proxies to attack Israel, and leftist idiots blamed it on Israel.

How did Biden encourage Iran to attack Israel? Agreed the pro-Hamas section of the Democratic Party blamed Israel.

Weak leadership both in the WH and Congress would certainly embolden both our enemies and those of Israel.

Those people have been fighting with each other since the beginning of time. They will never stop fighting with each other. Biden did not cause the latest spat, and the US is incapable of preventing it.

It's getting better there but still has a ways to go.

Weak presidents are tested, the weaker are tested more... This one was tested more than any President in modern history and failed at every turn. I know you understand what I am saying and just pretend to be uncomprehending... It's all good.

Weakness in Foreign policy encourages bad actors to, well, act bad.

This is being deliberately obtuse. Biden's weak foreign policy showed them they were more likely to have success now than they would be under strong leadership. It also infused bad actors with cash so they could fund and arm their proxies.

Strong leadership is good as proved by Reagan against the Soviets, but it also takes the support of Congress since only they can declare war and fund our military and intelligence agencies. GW was "strong" but stupid and cost our nation the lives of over 4400 Americans, almost 32,000 wounded and 3 trillion dollars.

You're free to put all the blame on Biden, and he certainly has to share the load, but I think American political infighting weakens us in the face of our enemies. Anyone who thinks Trump's bluster makes him a strong leader instead of a joke is fooling themselves.

The True Cost of the Iraq War: $3 Trillion and Beyond

Writing in these pages in early 2008, we put the total cost to the United States of the Iraq war at $3 trillion. This price tag dwarfed previous estimates, including the Bush administration's 2003 projections of a $50 billion to $60 billion war. But today, as the United States ends combat in...

In what ways is it getting better? Ever since humanity invented evil religion, people have been killing each other over that part of the world. It's a meaningless war that will never end. That's why it's particularly stupid and blatantly partisan to blame someone like Biden for Gaza's attack on Israel and never mention Israel's scorched earth retaliation.
