[Added Dec. 11/2024. A little over a day has passed since the original posting and I would like to add the analysis of Brian Berletic to the discussion which offers a very grounded view of the failures that led to the takeover of Syria, but as he stresses this is a battle lost in a greater war and the sovereignty of Syria is not something we should view as lost forever or to make the mistake of equating this battle lost for Syria as having lost the broader war. The video can be viewed below.]

I have just finished watching an insightful interview by Alex Krainer on his thoughts as to how Syria could have fallen in a matter of days without what appears to be any significant resistance. Alex makes some interesting points as to how things may not appear to be as they seem and that this could all very well have been a trap with the plan to attrition the enemy, a new Afghanistan scenario except this time it is the Zionist/Anglo-American forces who have walked into the sinking sand rather than the Russians et al. Only time will tell, but I think Alex’s points are important since, if he is correct, it shows that things are not as insane or incompetent as they seem to be right now, at least concerning the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and thus all of this strategizing to be free from the Zionist/Anglo-American stranglehold over decades has not been for nought.
I highly recommend people watch Alex’s interview which can be viewed below!
Understanding Syria...
I much prefer this analysis by Brian Berletic:

I'm not too much into this umpti-dimensional chess stuff. Russia's primary interest in Syria is its naval base there, and now they are sounding just like Americans when South Vietnam fell. They're basically saying Assad was too corrupt and arrogant to do what they wanted so they threw up their hands.
There's probably some truth there.
