So, where is Syria in Ukraine? Russia stood by Assad through thick and thin and is responsible for keeping the Syrian nation and the Assad government standing. So...where are the experienced Syrian army fighters helping Russia who is having a hard time right now? Even if Putin didn't ask Assad should be making a public announcement of support to Russia and committing troops. Even if it's just a token. But NOTHING?
Syrian Arab Army is a lesser Afghan National Army. The only way they kept it together was because Russia flattened entire cities for them and depopulated half the country.
ISIS was a glorified street gang when they entered Syria, and they came out with enough power to overtake half of Iraq.
>The only way they kept it together was
No, that would have been Iran pouring billions of dollars into Syria and sending thousands of fighters.
Would have made no difference if Russia didnt do picrel to Aleppo and other Sunni cities.
And the syrian army would have been overrun and the financial system would have collapsed in Syria if it wasn't for Iran. Iran set the baseline for making it happen, Russia helped make it true.
>picrel
I fricking love the frogfoot god dammit! It's as if they stopped developing the A-10 straight after release and then decided to just commit war crimes for cash ever after
It's very outdated however. The A-10 received upgrades which make is useable even today.
Iranian cash and manpower kept the rebels out of the Syrian core, Russian firepower then reversed the war and put the regime on the offensive.
>MuH sUnNi CiTiEs
most of the SAA, and Assadists, are Sunni.
President Bashar Al Assad has vocally supported Russians efforts in Ukraine. Do you really think a country that just went through a horrendous civil war that saw over 400k killed would have the funds, resources, personnel, and equipment necessary to send them off to Europe? Half of the forces would likely desert and try to get refugee status. Not to mention Syria is still working on pacifying Islamic militant and Kurdish groups in their region. Israel still bombs Syria almost weekly.
>Do you really think a country that just went through a horrendous civil war that saw over 400k killed would have the funds, resources, personnel, and equipment necessary to send them off to Europe?
You're saying that Bashar al-Assad is basically playing the role of Francisco Franco in this conflict?
Great comparison, yes actually.
They both are shitty dictators that aren't able to get a decent mustache.
So yes.
Who's Mussolini? It sure isn't Luka.
Putin. Russia is much more Italy than Germany.
>chest beating moron with a shitty military
>embarrassing loss against a weaker opponent (ethiopia/chechnya)
>"redeems" himself in second attempt
>gets involved in a much larger conflict that he has no hope of winning after falling for his own propaganda
>will collapse the moment a serious military attacks them
What, so Xinnie is Hitler then?
Yeah. Poland is Taiwan. If China is actually not a paper tiger, France will be Japan.
>Poland is Taiwan.
Other way around dumbass, Taiwan is Poland
Also don’t forget crippling their ability to wage war by over investing in a foreign civil war that ultimately resulted in a apathetic dictator that didn’t see a reason to repay back the favor and the resentment of the international community lol
Welcome to exactly the situation the Americans were in prior to leaving Afghanistan.
>where is Syria in Ukraine?
Syria is in Asia, not in Ukraine
Mutt geography I swear...
Isn't Syria still at war?
Asad not imbecile to be on the side of the loser.
This, even Belarus back out once they knew it was unwinnable.
It's calling being gracious and repaying your debts. Even if he can only send a few hundred troops -- send them. Make it public. Stand with Russia as Russia stood by then through very tough times. Russia never wavered in support even when the US was there and everyone was predicting imminent regime change.
>gracious
>Arabs
just coughed up a lung
Egypt sent troops for desert storm
Russia only went to Syria to make sure neither Iran or Qartar builds their pipelines to Europe through Syria for the next years, hence why Russia only keeps helping so much the conflict stays active and gets dragged on. They owe Russia nothing, if anything Russia owes them and Syria probably realised this as well by now.
>trusting Arabs, israelites, and Chinese
>thinking they keep their word
Should I trust French?
>Should I trust French?
no but, moreso than arabs, israelites, chinese. Most trust worthy people are Philippians, cambodians, mid west Americans, and right wing hispanics and the working class brits
Philippians are not only super trustworthy but EXTREMELY loyal.
To this day they worship MacArthur
>Philippians
They are unironically the most powerful race and good people better than ch***e and kor*** and jap****e
Dont forget about Poles. We are incapable of betrayal, except ourselves.
>Russia stood by Assad
>Assad should send his people into certain death as a favor
Look at them. Brother in spirit. Two dictators in deep friendship, helping each other out of the warmness of their hearts.
BFF 4eva!
Awwww.
Covid19!
>literal barrels of explosives pushed out the side of helicopters
Story tiem? I love Heli stories.
^This. Bashir like Hafez is quite intelligent.
>So, where is Syria in Ukraine?
Hundreds of miles to the south
Assad and Luka pulling a Franco and refusing to go down with the ship (moskva)
>and refusing to go down with the ship (moskva)
i cant tell the arabs apart from the russians
The Arabs are militarily competent.
>The Arabs are militarily competent.

They have some big issues thanks to their command structure, but they do have their moments
>militarily competent arabs

>Afghan national army
>arabs
Burger moment
Whats the difference? How is an afghan not an arab? I look at an afghan and i see an arab, absolutely no difference. They are brown, islamic, backwards, tribal, herd goats, dress the same way, have identical customs and actually believe they are a single people (all muslims dar al islam). Also all of them are mutts, only difference is the cultural adaptations pushed in by geography, like they dont ride camels in regions where camels dont like exist or dont eat food that doesnt grow locally.
Wow, homie u read dumb
Different ethnicities, languages, traditions, history. Religion is the only thing nominally common but there are major difference even in that.
Maybe Jordanians, but other then that
>lol
>lmao

that's a cool wallpaper
There were supposed to be 40 000 syrian volunteers in Ukraine fighting for Russia. Where are they? I read about them months ago
Why do you keep making this same fricking thread?
1. Russia itself claimed that "23,000 fighters from the Middle East are willing to fight" in Ukraine. I don't believe those numbers but nonetheless it's clear that Russia itself hasn't called anyone yet so they can't just barge in.
2. Syria is a poor country, the SAA can't afford to fight a war on the other side of the continent when they can't reclaim their own country in full.
3. Syria participating directly in Ukraine will just cause the US and EU to bomb Syria and makes things worse for everyone in the region.
they're both a killogram
Probably laying low so as not to get annexed/regime changed by Kara Boga.
They have Syrian mercenaries but Syria still has its own shit to deal with.
there are a few there, not significant numbers
If you didn't know, Syria is still a shithole in conflict and cant spare manpower or they will further destabilize from opportunists.
There were a bunch of Syrians voicing their availability at the start of the conflict, which the Western media lapped up like a prostitute and started lying about Syrians and Africans in Ukraine. Russians probably decided bringing a bunch of Arab speakers and trying to integrate them into combat operations wasn't optimal, so they didn't pursue the matter.
>which the Western media lapped up like a prostitute and started lying about Syrians and Africans in Ukraine
Okay, started lying about newly arriving Africans, not the one already there since before February.
>Okay, started lying about newly arriving Africans, not the one already there since before February.
We dont need Syria's help. They would just get in the way
Is Syria still seeing any active combat or the conflict frozen now?
>tl;dr: Currently frozen, but could heat up this year with escalations from Israel and Turkey.
Assad wants to retake Idlib, but Turkish drones and artillery gutted the Tiger Forces when they last tried in 2020. Russia has supposedly been upgrading Syrian MiG-29s to mop up Turkish drones and police the airspace, but at the end of the day the Turkish air force would still come out on top.
Israel continues to destroy any Iranian forces they catch attempting to embed themselves into either Lebanon or Syria. They do this more or less with impunity (only one aircraft lost after hundreds and hundreds of successful strikes and thousands of dead SAA/IRGC), and even recently went as far as to threaten to kill Assad if the Iranian shipments/reinforcements continue.
And to top it all off, by agreeing with Finnish and Swedish ascension to NATO, Turkey appears to have the green-light from NATO to encroach even further into Syrian territory, with an anti-SDF/YPG/PKK offensive. SDF/YPG/PKK are now allegedly directly coordinating with the SAA, Russians and Iranians, to counter this, because the Americans appear to have thrown them under the bus for Turkey with this green light.
