Great thread.
Let’s just pray, whatever the outcome, that lives of Syrian civilians improves. Any increase in standard of living and liberty would be a win.
Decades under the regime and a decade of civil war has put these people through unimaginable horror.
The one thing I question in this 🧵 is “but it is striking just how little a role outsiders played in the regime’s collapse”
This could be true because there was 10x involvement previously, and it was materially less now.
But looking at the SNA and allied groups during the offensive, it is hard to ignore their Turkish equipment and training.
Many soldiers had Turkish standard issue uniforms and gear. Turkish night vision and thermal scopes, and used professional military combined arms assaults. They also used the most modern combined FPV drone and surveillance UAV tactics.
Obviously large states will try to take advantage of the power vacuum. Downplaying their involvement does not do any favours for the Syrian people.
Let’s hope the general syrian society can really take control of their future, and remove extremist and foreign powers influence.
