Syrian Civil War (Graphic Photos/Vid Not Allowed)

Rebels most north seem to have lost everything to ISIS and Kurds, Turkish redline no longer on table? As for Raqqa offensive, it was announced several days ago, but I don't see reports of an actual offensive yet.

If Arabs want to support an opposition, at least provide necessary logistics and training. If you aren't going to, don't do it all. What you get is a temporary dis-fragmented state, that the opposition will not be part of for the future. Only Kurds and SAA will survive it, because they have form of effective state and media support. SAA has Russia/Iranian media and support, Kurds have Western. The opposition on other hand only has media support in the form of Al-Jazeera.

they're all the same anyway, hardcore islamist sharia freak terror militias, there is no Obama's "pharmacist and milkmen" or whatever he said, there never were.

these rebels need to be wiped out, all of them, without compromise.

No, they are simple peasants who protect their homes against foreign sectarian terrorists. If u think that 2 million Alawites will rule again 22 million Syria u are hallucinational.

There are reports of extensive air strikes, up to 150, so maybe 30-40 sorties, in Raqqa today. Could mean offensive is on its way in a few days to week.

FSA reportedly reversed ISIS gains in north.

Rebels are strong in Idlib and Dar'a and wont go anywhere.

North from Aleppo to Hasaka US plans to hand to Kurds. Thats why they prolong the war helping Assad.

Assad's Alawistan will survive for a while as long as Iran and Russia pay him billions and send mercenaries. But in long term he has no any chances.

Syria has a few million people, tops. In 2004 the most recent survey Syria had close to 18 million people.

Rebels are strong in Idlib and Dar'a and wont go anywhere.

Compared to Germany and Japan in WW2, Idlib is nobody. The US can take Idlib in like a week, tops.

Turkey has done more for rebels than the GCC. Saudi army is there only to protect the royal family.

It seems Turkey is losing interest, as there is no clear Arab effort over there. Saudi Arabia had chance under previous administration to make move, the new administration seems to have more coherent strategy but efforts are too late. Everyone in the conflict however has been preoccupied and contributing resources or taking hits one way or another in form of refugees or something else. Israel didn't take any hit, because international community doesn't call on it to take any refugees nor contribute in coalition. Coalition actually makes it very secure, this coalition will never leave even ISIS lost all territory. They will probably allow ISIS to keep a little territory in future to have excuse to keep coalition deployed just in time for when it has other purpose that we don't know about it. Only the planners do.

Rebels are strong in Idlib and Dar'a and wont go anywhere.

It's only one province in all of Syria, they are least influential player out of all in Syria.

Dar'aa on other hand is a whole different ground, the 'rebels' there are just there to provide Jordan some form of 'security' while also be used as possible pressure zone against SAA whenever it is needed. The rebels have no clue what's going on, their backers(US and Jordan, the top brass which gets paychecks) are in contacts with Assad to keep ceasefire there if the pressure is not needed or necessary at that point.

North from Aleppo to Hasaka US plans to hand to Kurds. Thats why they prolong the war helping Assad.

Not sure what that has to do with Assad or how it helps him, it certainly doesn't help him at all. He loses ground which he can't regain, otherwise US will interpret it as declaration of war on coalition.

There are over 5 million Syrians abroad. They will come back when Assad will be kicked, just like it happened in Afghanistan.

I dont know what makes u laugh. Who are people who fight Assad in totally encircled Ghouta? Who are people who fight Assad in totally encircled Homs? They all are simple peasants.
