So how long do you figure until the Syrian Civil War ends once al-Assad's forces retake Aleppo?

Friendly Humour posted:Let a thousand nuclear flowers bloom! I may be wrong but it doesn't have to end that way - indeed that is what this human has been trying to prevent. In the past I suggested a spectacular destruction of ISIS that would also remind the public of a single objective reality understood by the formula E=MC^2. Now Daesh is too diffuse to effectively destroy in that manner - you can see the magical thinking and relativism enabling them reach socially toxic levels. But it isn't all bad - I believe the mind that was in Jesus returned to Earth and warned us of the coming storm before Donald heard of HTML and before Daesh existed.

The fourth of December is the day of Saint Barbara, patron saint of artillery and explosives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zndo4gttEY An article in French on the subject of what to do with European Daesh deserters. It's talking specifically about three dumbasses (and two babies). They've been captured by a subgroup of the FSA as they fled Raqqa. Before what happened was that they would give them to the Turks, who would then arrange something with their European country of origin. Now, however, Turkey doesn't care anymore. Here's the part I find funny: quote:Paradoxically, it is since the country went into active war to drive Daesh from its border that the surveillance of jihadists is neglected. The operation "Euphrates Shield" triggered with the FSA at the end of summer has indeed made it possible to chase the jihadists. But in the imbroglio of the various local and international conflicts and struggles of influence on this part of the Syrian territory, taking care of fleeing jihadists does not seem to be a priority. While the number of returnees is expected to increase as the vise tightens on Daesh, attacked in both Syria and Iraq, the uncertainty and indecision on what to do with them is total. Yes it's all very paradoxical. It's kind of as if Turkey didn't actually care about Daesh so much as they care about making sure Daesh's defeat will not profit the Kurds?

Erdogan's personally upset with Europe for shunning him too, so if some jihadists make it back home and cause problems there, he's not exactly going to cry about it.

So you are saying Aleppo won't fall, while they fight each other. You say never ever while using a map which shows the Syrian Kurds, who are now quite aligned with Assad, as fellow rebels. Trump is president, France will soon have a pro Assad leader. What makes you hold onto hope. The revolution is collapsing. The pockets in the south are being closed after dehousing and bombing of civilians, freeing up troops. It's like the past year hasn't happened in your mind. You are delusional. Edit: sorry, you didn't say Aleppo wouldn't fall. Precisely what is going to reverse the regimes momentum? Turkey going to straight up war with the regime is the only thing enabling a reversal that I see unless Donald Trump is browbeaten by his Generals.

IS could completely route the Iraqi army and then turn their efforts towards Syria. Idlib is entirely controlled by Nusra and can receive unlimited resupply from Turkey and Qatar. Israel could step in on Nusra's side. Netanyahu almost certainly prefers Nusra over Assad if he hasn't said so publicly already so maybe the IDF will give them an extra push.

I see that as a possibility as well, but I think it would effectively end the US-Gulf alliance. Supply of MANPADS to jihadists hasn't happened for a reason. Trump doesn't seem to want this conflict to drag on further, as predictable as he is. Washing his hands of Syria and leaving it to the Russians and Iranians is effectively a reversion to the pre-war status quo, not a bad option to a lot of people. Maybe he will let them off the leash, who knows.

The @AlabedBana Twitter account, of which there's been a lot of debate about whether it's real or not, just posted "We are sure the army is capturing us now. We will see each other another day dear world", and was deleted shortly afterwards. The area her home was in was captured by pro-government forces today.

The regime not being able to win does not necessitate rebels taking Damascus. Neither side is capable of militarily putting an end to the fighting, or even doing much to lower its intensity. The regime does not have a prayer of securing all of Syria. There's simply no military solution to this war. All the rebels have to do is be where the regime is not, and launch attacks from there. And they'll have the support of the locals in the majority of the country, which makes staying alive and continuing to fight even easier. And while the PYD may view the regime as allies, and the regime has encouraged them to feel that way, Assad most definitely is not allied with the PYD.
