Syrian Civil War (Graphic Photos/Vid Not Allowed)

[1000]

It is a Sunni-Alawite war. If you haven't noticed, Alawites have been oppressing Sunnis for a very, very long time.
Assad gets his soldiers nowadays from Alawites, Drafts, and abroad. And the idea of revolution is still strong among many, including most Islamists.
FYI ISIS aren't Islamists.

Just 3 million Alawites in Syria, couple ten thousands of foreigners on the SAA side and they can hold all that territory with Sunni majority population against the locals whom are ~20 million Sunnis ?

Turning the war sectarian didn't benefit you, it only costed you, let's thank figures like Aroor, he must have disappeared as he failed as well.

this reminds me of the so called "حلف المطيبين" when the Mujahedines in Iraq united n declared the ISI back then resolving by it AQ in Iraq .

You remind me of Islamrules, he also wrote 'Mujahedines'.

2 million* Alawites in Syria. The Sunnis don't all fight them because they don't have a war-like culture, Alawites do. If all Sunnis did fight them, yes, the war would be over, but the vast majority of Sunnis do not support Alawites.
Just say it already, you love Assad. And his dictatorship.

No, it's not a sectarian war. Just happens to be an Alawite-dominant military command, supported by a Shi'ite power (Iran), a Shi'ite militia (Hezbollah), with Shi'a from Iraq, Afghanistan and Alevis from Turkey all fighting to support Bashar al-Assad.

Let's all stop lying to each other, okay? Once we do that, maybe we can find a solution.

I agree with most of what you said, but Iran is turning it sectarian. They are making it into Sunni vs Shiite, just like in Iraq. The shiite militias massacre the Sunnis, the Sunnis are forced to fight back, then grouped under and called ISIS.

2 million* Alawites in Syria.

2 million even less.

The Sunnis don't all fight them because they don't have a war-like culture, Alawites do.

You just said Sunnis don't like war culture ?

No one likes war as much as Sunnis nowadays, they're taking the violent path whenever they don't get satisfied, look at Egypt at the moment. Alawites like war and Sunnis don't.. this is your excuse, what a joke.

Not all Sunnis neither all Alawites fight, you have available manpower & those in the state to fight which are a few million men for Sunnis, obviously Sunnis have more than the Alawites especially in the area's where they are the majority, yet SAA is in control of a lot of those area's.

So if FSA was in control of Alawite areas the Alawites would support them? Flawless logic.
And Alawites DO have a warlike culture. Who raided, raped, and pillaged Sunni villages before the French Mandate? Alawites. Who became the French Mandate's troops? Alawites. Who have been oppressing Sunnis & Kurds since 1970? Alawites.

You can't say Alawites have a warlike culture. You have your ba'ath in Syria, Iraq had it's Ba'ath with Sunni Saddam who massacred and burnt the entire area, killed like 10* more than Assad, I guess his people also have warlike culture.

Opression is nothing new, ba'ath is all about forcing and iron fist, whether Sunni Saddam or Alawite Assad.

lol. Saddam Sunni?
He was secular, up until he was captured, then he "became" Sunni. He's frying in hell now most likely.

Ba'ath ideology has nothing to do with Sunni Islam. It's a secular ideology to begin with. A nationalistic and socialistic ideology too. The Ba'ath party under the dictatorship of the Al-Assad family has been dominated by Alawis who nobody outside of themselves consider as Muslims. They worship Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra) as their Prophet.

@rmi5 even told me that the Mullah's of Iran did never consider them as Muslims let alone Shia's until this conflict. He mentioned the names of leading Mullah's in Iran with this opinion and showed links. Banned now but as soon as he returns he will confirm this.

Similarily in Iraq there were more Shia Ba'ath party members than Sunnis. It's factually wrong to equal Ba'athism with Sunni Arabs. Even the founder of the Ba'ath ideology was a Syrian Christian Arab. Let us not bullshitt here more than necessary.

Of course this conflict has a sectarian dimension. Anyone claiming the opposite is joking.

Anti-Al-Asshead Syrians are in the vast majority. Especially in the diaspora. He has lost all legitimacy and needs to go. Along with his regime. How can any sane person even question this?

Also stop pfucking equaliing Al-Asshead's removal with Daesh rule. That's what Al-Asshead propagandists do 24/7 already. No, Syria will be ruled by moderate Syrian Sunni Arab Muslims who are in the majority. Just like Iraq which is currently dominated by Shia Arabs who are the majority.

It's simple.

@1000

It was him. Never believed that he was from KSA, lol.

 

[ResurgentIran]

Absolutely delusional. Rebels are clearly advancing in Deraa and Idlib, and checking the regime in Aleppo.

Assad is running out of manpower and simply cannot win a war of attrition like this. Iran and Hezbollah can only do so much to prop him up.

LOL!
Oh come on, lets get realistic for a second and not post nonsense based on delusions and wishful thinking.
The Syrian Army has a firm grip and consolidated control in most of the major power-centers/arteries (Homs, Hama, Damascus, Tartus etc.) which constitute the core of the Syrian state and demographic. Aleppo is contested and Deraa will be liberated by the forces of Hezbollah+SAA+NDF as it were in Qusayr and Al-Safir.
Meanwhile the so called "FSA" is a fictional army that is ridden with not only internal conflicts and rivalries, but the so called "moderates" are being pounded by hardcore Jihadis.

Heck, now even the US is beginning to change its tune and is no longer officially asking for Assad's removal. You can so hilariously see the retreat in their rhetoric.
Before: "Assad is war criminal and must step down.
Now: "Assad needs to rething his policies bla bla"

And even when Assad goes, that changes nothing.
Stop your delusions and come to terms with the fact that you and your terrorist filth are loosing. Not just militarilly. You are also losing the narrative with your sectarian shit.
VIVA ASSAD!

You are so delusional.
Dara'a is on the verge of falling. Tartus isn't even a big city, and doesn't "constitute the core of the Syrian state and demographic." Homs & Hama are under threat by both ISIS and rebels. Damascus is next after Dara'a.

Yeah that what was said 4 years ago.

And you said Assad will crush us 3 years ago. Still standing and coming for you.
Also, prepare yourself for war with the new Syrian state in the next decade or so.

Iran and Syria are the best of friends and allies, and this will be the case in the next 100 years and beyond.
