The new Syrian government will absolutely not let Russia keep their airbase and and naval base. I’m willing to bet everything I own on that. When you kill tens of thousands at least in airstrikes and missile strikes to prop up a brutal dictator, the victors do not let you stay. They may not kill you outright, but they’ll let you leave to never come back. It’d be like if in 1975 Ho Chi Minh was like “Oh yeah feel free to keep using Da Nang and Cam Ranh US.”
I get that Ho Chi Minh was dead by that point but the gist is the same.
The settlement was that Russia goes and they won’t be killed. Because Russia had no ability to protect Assad anymore. They tried to take out one bridge between Hama and Homs and couldn’t even pull that off. Pretty pathetic.
Some group in Syria might try to attack Israel, but the new Syrian government won’t do that. Because they aren’t that stupid. Israel’s assistance helped put them in power.
Israel taking the Syrian Golan makes perfect sense from a military and political point of view. It increases security for their Druze population in the Israeli Golan. From a political standpoint, it would be a good bargaining chip for any potential future negotiations between the new Syrian Regime and Israel.
Invasions make sense in some circumstances, especially when your neighbor is busy trying to clean up politically and establish a new order after a brutal civil war.
Practically any facility for chemical or pesticide production contains chemicals that could be used as weapons. Blowing up the facility can create a dangerous release that can kill local civilians.
Yeah that’s a bit different. Russia caused the civil war in Ukraine. Israel didn’t cause Syria to blow up. They’ve just been taking advantage of it when possible.
This is a lesson. I don’t know where you get your “news” but it’s bad. Be more discerning. Any place you got that information should never ever ever be used by you as a source of information. And should never be posted here.
