American General: The balance of forces in Syria is now in favor of Bashar Assad

21
Chairman Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during the Senate hearings that the position of Syrian President Bashar Assad was greatly strengthened after Iran and the Russian Federation began to provide him with military assistance.



“The balance of power is now in favor of Assad,” RIA quotes him. "News".

In addition, US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter noted that in the issue of the removal of the Syrian president from power, Washington, first of all, is guided by a political approach.

A criticism of these statements was made by Republican Senator Lidsey Graham, who stressed that the position of Assad was "exceptionally strong", and the United States actually "transferred Syria to Russia and Iran."

“If I were Assad, then for me it would be a good day, because the US government made it clear that it is not going to fight to dislodge me,” he said.

Washington has repeatedly stated that they want to achieve the resignation of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and therefore oppose any support for it.

        I don’t understand why the Iranian army is so extolled, they often mention the IRGC. Iran, when was the last time and where did he really fight to talk about the special experience and qualities of his soldiers and general advisers who die there like flies ??? I don’t ask about victories at all ... Technique is far from perfect. How can the Iranian army help Syria? In my opinion, one of our motorized rifle divisions is worth its entire army. Therefore, there are no special reasons for joy when they write for the hundredth time that Iran allegedly sent troops to a neighbor.

        - Actually, yes.
        Russia has chosen the exact time. Babama will not risk dropping her baseboard rating even more. Besides, he is already a lame duck.

      Mr. Evidence acknowledged a well-known fact. For this, the operation began in the air. The army is at war, and the population begins to rebuild the country. The political process of reconciliation will follow. Assad did not promise all this in vain.

      By the way, in Iran, the news was that the infantry arrived and silence ...

      In the area of ​​the Syrian city of Aleppo, the Syrian army, together with the militias, Shiite volunteers, separate units of the Lebanese Hezbollah and the IRGC Iran, are conducting two offensives with the support of the Russian Aerospace Forces. One blow is being delivered southeast of Aleppo by an army group under the command of one of the most famous commanders of the Syrian army, Colonel Suheil al-Hasan, in order to unblock the Kvers air base, where personnel and cadets of the Syrian Air Force academy have been holding defense since the end of 2012. The second strike is being launched south and southwest of Aleppo and appears to be part of a general government offensive in northwest Syria. A significant part of the government forces leading the offensive south-west of Aleppo are Shiites from Iraq and from among the Afghan Shiites (Hazaras), as well as Hezbollah and IRGC fighters.
      It is likely that at least several hundred Iranian IRGC troops are currently located in that area, which seem to be exercised both by general leadership and direct command of the Iraqi and Afghan volunteer units, and the presence of small Iranian strike units is also possible. This inevitably led to an increase in losses, now almost every day there are reports of the death of Iranians in Syria. The head of the IRGC public relations department, General Ramezan Sharif, confirmed on Friday October 23 an increase in the number of military advisers in Syria and said that the number of IRGC Iranian soldiers killed there over the past two days was 8 people and that the deaths were mainly from the Ansar unit.

    I love how the pendos don't scorch. They used to hide behind the fact that Assad is a dictator and murderer of his own people, in order to maintain world peace, we are obliged to build democracy in Syria. And here, even to maintain this concept is not ruined. It must be stupidly removed for political reasons. And so it’s simple and open - he is not pleasing to us and is not mortifying. Just like the children of rich parents, everything is so exceptional that you can not just everything, but in general everything that can come into their little skull box.

    Of course, the Iranian army is not a couple of the Russian, but there is fish for fishlessness and cancer, and in Syria there is a trite lack of infantry on the side of government troops. So we are waiting for the Iranians.

    The balance of power in favor of Syria and peace in this country.

    I am haunted by vague doubts, but is this not the next US plan to weaken and ultimately the collapse of Russia and potential competitors?
    I'll try to justify.
    The United States creates zones of chaos in Eurasia, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, but not in North America, thereby weakening the economy and stability in regions and continents, which ultimately brings the United States economic, military and political dividends (Some kind of world Bloodsucker). If everything works out, who is in "chocolate"?) USA. And if it doesn’t work out or “doesn’t work out” on purpose, the United States wash its hands and it is up to the opponents and competitors of the Americans to clean up this mess, thereby wasting and depleting its resources. In this case, again, who remains in the "chocolate"?) That's right, again the United States. The main thing is that this scenario will always be, it is inevitable, as long as there is a territory called the United States.
    So, God forbid, that Putin had the wisdom not to get into all those feces that knead the United States around the world at the same time, but to bring the matter to its logical end, so that this state of thieves and murderers returns to its origins, to wild prairies with wandering packs Native American tribes. Only then will the ball of Earth be given, albeit for a while, but to breathe more freely.

    Where are these talking helmets going? Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, what's your barracks business, what are the heads of state doing? Your business is calf, to carry out orders and prepare plans of operations ... No, every four-star ass gives (or surrenders) "its own analysis of what is happening" ... Here Shoigu is generally silent until he is asked, only special generals give comments like Konashenkov ...

    The first part of the thesis - I agree, indeed, the Iranian army has not shown itself in the recent past.
    The second part of the thesis is very controversial - our division alone can never replace a whole army.
    And I hope that never, not one of our divisions, will have to replace an entire army in the database)
