Honestly i personally believe that since the beginning SAA has changed slowly but changed, and become a strong anti-insurgency force. With time we will start to see them do better, and if the oil value comes back up next year well guess what? Russia is back in the game as well as Iran.
New trained units have sprung from the SAA side that have changed the game and honestly if one year is given and certain gains are made, well the SAA wins. Honestly the bases they lost in Idlib were undersieged and were expected to fall. Most of the troops retreated to SAA lines and the only if i remember SAA base in enemy lines is Deir-e-Azor. That the SAA can win maybe in a year or more. So now we have trenches.
The battles in the west and south will decide how the future will end up.
I guess the SAA will never truly lose the war since Iran and Russia have made it clear that they will never allow Assad to fall...
Well they may not, the question though i have is when does the war end.
I used to support Assad until I thought of this very question. The answer is that the war never ends as long as Assad remains in power. He's like Maliki. Literally having any leader other than Assad would do wonders for the broken peace process.
Personally i disagree on this. Assad can stay in power now, and actually can garner support that is necessary to remain. Mainly the long war will tire everyone out and people will prefer to keep the status quo than to start another struggle. Honestly it depends on who you listen to but due to the war and atrocities by ISIS and the likes, the actions of the SAA is very welcoming to the people. While on the other hand you have the SAA barrel bombing places and causing havoc.
Honestly the problem in Syria is that the pro-regime forces have grown a cult following behind Assad and his Generals, and the removal of Assad would have a devastating blow to the the regime forces morally. Assad seems to most people the solution to some progress and a new start.
Anyway enough of this debate, personally i feel like Assad will remain in power till the end of the war and after the end he will step down after some time and let someone else in.
It's actually really funny. Back when I used to post on B.net, there was a person I would always debate about what to do in Syria, and we could never agree or compromise.
The funny part is that I was extremely pro-Assad and he was extremely anti-Assad. And for me to defend the anti-Assad side only 6 months later...
Are you per chance a new member or a throwaway alt?
Neither. You may know me as Comms Officer or Weed Commando though.

Russians continue to prove their lack of intelligence.
It's fucking pitiful. For their entire history, they've traded one autocrat for the next, and they fall for the exact same lies every time.

It's cause Putin is ramping up his propaganda machine massively and using far more nationalist/populist rhetoric. But this is artificial public support that'll just evaporate once the Russians are really in for their money (or out for their money) economically in two years. Putin's just a worthless, generic leech who's transforming Russia into a Fascist rogue state.

So, how is Assad faring as of right now?
And do you think Russia going down the shitter is going to screw things up for assad even more?
Well, the SAA recently had to give up a major base in Idlib Governorate to al-Nusra militants just a few days ago. Most of them were able to flee to the south though. It's still an unsustainable stalemate for Assad though, and Russia's/Iran's economic woes aren't going to help him.
Damn :/
No reason to act like that. I've been reading a lot of interesting stuff about Mr. Assad recently....
Interesting in a bad way of course.
He's had this coming for a while. I just feel bad for the soldiers in the SAA who think they're defending their country, and are actually defending the throne of a tyrant. I hope that there's a coup in the Syrian Government and the new government would be willing to compromise. Too many interesting things about Assad to explain in a single paragraph...
Syria is a complete mess. I mean, the FSA is pretty bad, now there's ISIS in Rakka and screwing shit up in the war, with other militant groups joining the fight from everywhere (Al Queda, Chechen fighters, other militant groups), the SAA, and the Kurds. The SAA are fighting for their country, but at the same time for a bad regime. The FSA are fighting against the regime, but for a bad outcome. Right now it seems like the only real "good guys" would be the Kurds who are just trying to defend themselves in their little pocket of land. I feel bad for the civilians caught in between it all though.
If the West could manage to find a way to intervene and rally the SAA, FSA, and the more moderate Islamic Front fighters (the good ones fighting for their country/for freedom and not the sociopaths and extremists) to their cause, that'd be far more favorable than siding with any one faction totally. A sudden Assad Regime collapse would be a really bad thing in the short-term, and I think that's why the US is giving only enough support to the FSA to keep them relevant.

Seeing as how countless conspiracies turned out to be true, I'll stick to that side of the camp
The ones which turned out to be true were the ones whose scale are nowhere near that of most of the conspiracy theories out there. And the amount of conspiracy theories that exist are countless times countless.
And I don't really think it'd be a very good idea to trust countries whose media have been historically known to range between extremely skewed to outright false.
...Maybe you should look at the ways they debunk a lot of these conspiracy theories. I genuinely think it'd good for you to look at that.
I'm not on the scale of lizard and mole people, but do have doubts incidents like 9/11 and the lost Malaysian airline was just a coincidence
The 9/11 conspiracy theory has a giant article debunking it, and the debunking makes a lot more sense than the conspiracy theories themselves. And, well. I'm not surprised about the Malaysian airline thing since there's literally no information whatsoever about what happened to it. But most likely, it was deliberately sabotaged by a pilot or something like that.
See, there was evidence pointing to an attack that would take place in a few months of getting the intel so it comes down to three situations:
Lack of communication
Thought it was BS
Or allowed it to happen
Third choice does make sense for a few reasons, including the ability to justify more than a decade of war, curbing of rights, and ability to establish strong middle-eastern presence. If 9/11 had not taken place then none of things, I can say in certain, wouldn't have happened
I honestly think that the second one was more likely to happen. There was a terrorist airline bombing incident in the 80's (over Lockerbie, Scotland where nearly 300 people died). The terrorists said that they would bomb a flight originating from Frankfurt and heading to the US. So naturally, the US pooled all their resources to Frankfurt. ....What the US didn't know was that the whole thing was a giant distraction, so they were successfully able to bomb the flight originating from London. So it could very well have happened where in 2001, the US prepared the airports where the 9/11 flights originated from, only to have the flights come from an entirely different area. There's a reason that all things counter-terror are extremely tricky and delicate.

That end part of Gravemind on Legendary. When the 4 Elite Ultras come into the Mausoleum of the Arbiter. The same Elite Ultras who can survive being stuck with plasma grenades. And the same ones who can gun you down in 1 second with Carbine fire....

http://basnews.com/en/news/2014/12/21/islamic-state-give-two-conditions-to-leave-mosul/Mosul is the main base for ISIS in the northern half of Iraq. If they lose Mosul, all they'll really have left is Fallujah, which is just a thorn in Iraq's side. But of course the deal would require them safe passage to Syria. I think the best idea would be to let them leave Mosul, and then bomb them to hell as they're marching to Syria.

It's funny how big of a deal is being made over a movie. Obama's considering putting North Korea back on the State Sponsor of Terrorism list over this. (I agree with having them as a state sponsor of terror, but this is still pretty funny)
