Looks like the rebel offensive in Syria has within two weeks resulted in Assad being ousted from power and gone, that escalated quickly. Does kind of look like the new thing is one of those extremist sharia "disagree with our strict morals and it's the death penalty for you" kind of groups, so...hopefully that's not the reality, but I guess we'll see.

Things happened too fast, surprised everybody. the future is so unpredictable. so far these groups are trying to act properly but so did Taliban at first. we will see their true color in next few weeks/months.

 

Bashar Asad was a murderer and criminal but he wasn't extremist. these guys can be both murderer and extremist. but there are lots of groups involved. still it's not totally clear who will get the power ultimately. it's highly possible to see a war between these groups

 

Turkey is sponsoring some (most) of these groups, so the future will be hard for the Kurds too. Turkey will push these groups to conquer the Kurdish parts too.

 

but I think the regime in Iran was the biggest loser here, they spent billions of dollars (at least 30 according to rumors) to keep this piece of crap in power. he was supposed to pay it back someday. now they have to rethink their strategy, everything if falling apart for them. (which is not necessarily a bad thing to be honest) 

 

anyway it was a very hard few years for the Syrian people and the future doesn't look brighter. I just hope I'm wrong and something good comes out of this. :pope: maybe these guys have really changed :dunno: Syrian people suffered a lot already.
