Summary
Turkey, Russia, and Iran, key external actors in the Syrian crisis, called for renewed dialogue between Assad and opposition groups.
Amidst reports of Russian diplomats fleeing Damascus, Russia expressed concern about the advance of Islamist groups, particularly HTS, and urged the opposition to end the fighting.
While Turkey supports the rebel advance, Iran and Russia view HTS as a terrorist group, highlighting the complexities and divisions in the Syrian conflict.
Here’s a crazy idea: maybe Turkey, Iran, and Russia (and the US, and Israel, and the EU, etc) should shut the fuck up and let Syrians decide for themselves. Crazy, right?
Whatever is bad for Russia and Iran is good for humanity.
It is better than Russia or Iran, but still wouldn’t say it is good.
I wish we didn’t leave Kurds during trump’s first term.
Fair enough.
There ale reports that rebels claim that institutions will be preserved for 18 month transition to prepare for free election.
That would be mind blowing if true, though while I am hopeful I’m still skeptical if that will actually happen.
