Syria falls to rebels, Damascus taken over; more conflicts ahead? When can World Peace be achieved?

It is more fun criticizing


In lightning moves the rebels after drving armed forces of the govt, captured  Damascus, marking the end of 13 years war, 50 years of brutal regime of Bashad Al Assad whose regime was marked by repression thousands imprisoned and brutal treatment of enemies.

Some conclusions obserrvations:

1.   It showed the weakness of Putin and his military.  Russian military assets, even sensitive ones, and fate of the naval base and air base at trisk;

2.  The rebel attack seemed to have the knowledge of Turkey.  

3.  There were rebel groups alleged armed by US

4.  This ends Irans unlimited use of Syria as highway for arms for military supplies to Hamas

5.  This will pave way for resurgence of ISIS, and other revel groups.  This will start bloodbath amongst various warring faction

6.  The Syria rebels have warned Israel, and Israel has taken preemptive strikes to secure the buffer zzone between Syria and Israel

7.  World leaders are not rejoicing over the fall of Assad, because this has disrupted the balance of power in Middle East although there regime of Assad over its citizens are not to be admired.   However he was a stable leader to deal with unlike the rebel leaders who could be unpredictable.

Switchblade Drones NLAW, other portable anti tank and anti aircraft weapons - a game changer

It is more fun criticizing

It could have been a quick and crushing war waged by Russia vs Ukraine. What with massive quantity of aircraft, tanks and personnel.  But no the war is past one month duration and it seems that the outcome are inconclusive.

News has it that Russia has lost 10% of its war assets, planes, and tanks.   And lost about 16,000 of its personnel.   

Drones that fly night and day detecting their troop movements, deliver  weapons vs the enemy And handheld weapons that has more than 90% kill rate of tanks.   Tanks and their supply lines are bogged down in thawing ice which makes their movement difficult

Now superiority in war machinery does not mean victory anymore.  But cunning and  modern tech like these:   NLAW and drones made the swift victory of Russia unreachable.   No need to arrest Putin's General.  Putin underestimated the cunning and determination of Ukrainians and the the new weapons of war
