Syrian Civil War (Graphic Photos/Vid Not Allowed)

If SAA advance in rest of Syria was like Latakia (the toughest battlefield since beginning of war), the war would be over in 6 months.

More areas captured near Rabi'ah, the last major stronghold of terrorists in Latakia province.
Ablaq, Hilwah, Soda, Khadra, Tafahiah, Baldir captured today. Rabi'ah will certainly fall in less than few days if the current pace is preserved, as militant defenses collapse one after another. Those who remember history of battles in Latakia know how both sides fought for a small hill various times for weeks and now, towns and villages are being freed in few hours.

LOL. You sound like this drunk Alawi super star, who promised to arrive to Aleppo on main road soon:


Rebel part of Latakia had only 1 large village - Salma with pre war population of 3 thousands. Idlib alone has over 1 million pre war population. Plus Aleppo, Deir Ez Zor, Raqqa, Daraa, Ghouta. So prepare to very long slaughter.
 
I think the Russians are drawing the line here at Latakia , the borders of a new state of Assad inside Syria
 
Syria is united country and always will be.
Foreign aggressors(Turks, FSA, ISIS) will be destroyed and Syrian people will be free.

Uh oh. Assad side captured Rabia, Toro, and another village in Latakia province.
 
and Damascus joined forces against them, British political expert Marcus Papadopoulos told Radio Sputnik.

Papadopoulos maintains that Russia's air campaign and activities of the Syrian army are "the only reason" why Daesh is on retreat in Syria and why the group's "reign of terror is starting to collapse."

Some, particularly in the West, have asserted that it is the US-led coalition that has sent the terrorist group flying. Papadopoulos, the publisher of Politics First magazine, believes these claims are "an absolute lie, an absolute distortion of events." He also called Washington's campaign "an abject failure."

Syrian Arab Army (SAA). The SAA and the Kurds have long been considered the ultimate boots on the ground, which are capable of tackling extremists.

"The Syrian Army is the heart and soul in the fight against [Daesh] and all other Islamist terrorist groups" all across the country, Papadopoulos said.

Rmeilan Airfield: Is Pentagon Preparing for All-Out Offensive in Syria?
Washington does not seem to share this sentiment. US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has recently said that the US-led coalition will send boots on the ground in Syria and Iraq, but he did not specify what country will supply them.


The British analyst does not believe that Carter was talking about conventional US troops. "I think that what [Carter] is referring to is an increase in the American special forces (and probably other Western special forces) operating in Iraq and Syria against [Daesh]," the expert observed.


Papadopoulos pointed out that Carter's statement also "demonstrates the contradictory nature of American foreign policy when it comes to the Middle East." After all, Barack Obama was propelled to office by an anti-war sentiment. He pledged to withdraw tens of thousands of US troops from the Middle East and to some extent delivered on that promise, before sending them back to the region.

"But then we had other American officials, military and non-military, say that the US is seriously considering deploying troops to fight [Daesh] in Iraq and Syria," the analyst noted. "Reality is of course that Obama has as much blood on his hands as does Bill Clinton and George W. Bush in particular in Syria which the Americans had played a leading role in creating."

Lol, It didn't even take a day. Rabi'ah is liberated, along with various other towns. With fall of Salma and Rabi'ah, terrorist strong holds in Jabal Akrad and Jabal Turkoman liberated. Battle of Latakia is almost over and main objectives are achieved.

Syria is united country and always will be.
Syria is not united since 2012 and wont be united in any observable future.

Foreign aggressors(Turks, FSA, ISIS) will be destroyed and Syrian people will be free.
Its complete opposite: foreign invaders from Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Russia and Afghanistan fight against Syrian FSA.
