This belongs in every thread so it shows up whenever someone pulls up a thread concerning this topic. Russia's and Iran's big Middle East fail.
Israel answers the butchers who attacked it. What's the score so far? Well, let's see. Syria fell, why? Israel destroyed Hezbollah and Hamas. Literally, Isreal destroyed Hezbollah and Hamas.
Isreal showed Iran It can blow its missiles out of the sky. That Israeli F-35's can take out any target in Iran they want, whenever they want, almost with impunity. With Iran losing its proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas, i.e. its disruptors in the region, they've lost their bid to be the dominant force in the Middle East. That's over for them.
Who's the biggest loser? Russia Russia Russia. Putin jumped into helping Assad to gain influence in that part of the world. And, to stop a pipeline running through Syria undercutting its oil dominance of Europe. Russia's sphere of influence in the Middle East is over, puff, gone. They too are collapsing. The world is changing causing a dramatic power shift. Authoritarian regimes are dropping like flies, i.e. Türkiye and China aren't fairing much better.
Brics, Putins' small sphere of influence is now short on appeal. Those countries are going to quickly rethink their choice to align with Putins' Russia. They can see it is soon to be a failed state.
That's not to say those who control much of Syria are the good guys. The Kurds and most of the Syria people are, but not so much anyone else. We need to hope for the best, while helping to shape things when it is in our interest to do so.
Poor comrade signym. Her world is falling apart as well. All her posts were shown to be bullshit in this and other threads. Years of telling us here how Russia controls the Black Sea and is such a fighting force. For her too, that is over. The satisfaction that it brings, the vindication, makes it well worth the wait.
Too funny...

Syria is not Russia's and Iran's Big Fail, it's Biden's* and the neocon's.
Because you think engineering an al Qaeda takeover of Syria is a SUCCESS...
then you're either STOOPID or evil.
But, we all knew that.

BTW, if you review Russia's and Iran's actions in Syria back when ISIS was in the process of taking it over, and since, what you'll see is that they were fighting terrorists, not supporting Assad. For example, they did nothing to stop Israel from bombing Syria. I found this very fine parsing of military support puzzling, but apparently neither Russia nor Iran were "all in" on Assad. Seems they were ready tonlet Assad succeed or fail on his own.

Signym, I'm not surprised that your quote is a lie that cuts off most of what was written.

you've got it wrong here, while it can be argued Putin helped start BRICS he is no longer in control of it
The ring masters of that cricus are China, India and Brazil now
and think of it as a carnie and the mix of a British Common Wealth doing their three card tricks, house always wins
they will play Russia for a fool
They same happened with British and Commonwealth member states, they would give Africans paper with the Queens face printed on it and then take all their diamonds and gold.
Brics has outgrown Putin, its another economic monster entirely

just in case people have memories of 'gold fish' ...back then Libya had fallen, a dictator dead and it turned into a mess, Civil War, slave markets and gunning runnning, bombs and missles and terrorist groups selling out of Libya
the Arab Spring almost became a 'Nuclear Winter' there were genuine protests in the Arab world, young, students, workers...but then guns and terrorists flowed into Syria
almost none of the Arab Spring protests ending in any kind of Democrtaic Improvement almost all went backwards
in Libya, the attack was another 911 date
the 11th day of September, 2012
Ambassador Stevens' body was found by a group of Libyans, Obama took part in a cermony for the 4 Americans killed, after the attack, all diplomatic staff were moved to the capital, Tripoli, with nonessential personnel to be flown out of Libya.
in 2012 the Benghazi attack, there is a long thread and threads on the events here...what if? questions if they could be saved, this was was first United States ambassador killed in an attack since Adolph Dubs was killed in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1979 because it was on 911 they said it should have been seen coming.
then Assad was next, 2014, 2014, Syrians were close to Russians since the Cold War and still close after the ColdWar, Russia had bases, Assad bought stuff from Russia but he didn't want to rule he kind of fell into power
Iraq is invaded 2013 by ISIS
they start killing minority, Christians, the Yezidi
2014
Life Inside the ISIS Home Base of Raqqa, Syria
ISIS continues takeover of Syrian border town
year 2018
Inside the Syrian city of Raqqa after Islamic State's fall
and what happened after all the fighting, Turks played both sides, land grab and Kurdish got fuckedover again?
