    I have, and I’m still extremely perplexed at the conclusions and lines of thought presented. It just doesn’t line up with any feasible realistic situation.

      First a correction: there was no “Syrian civil war” it was a NATO hybrid war on Syria, and Syria has essentially won it. As the article points out, the remaining terrorist and US forces are being slowly squeezed more and more. Secondly, as the article also makes clear, this and other military tasks do not all need to be accomplished by the Syrian Arab Army. There are numerous other resistance groups across the region that are already striking occupation forces virtually every day. The Syrian government’s official armed forces are only one part of this larger coalition. I would advise you to carefully read the article again and try to understand the situation that is being portrayed and how assymetric warfare is being waged. The author of this article, Vanessa Beeley, is a well known anti-imperialist journalist with years of experience covering this region and the conflict in Syria in particular, if she says that Syria and its allies are in a good position to push back against imperialist and Zionist forces and their proxies, then i take her at her word, especially since it fits with what other sourced aligned with the axis of resistance are saying as well.

        What is the name of the conflict ongoing in Syria? What is it in Arabic? It is literally the “Syrian Civil War”. You’re being extremely pedantic for no reason, and I’m simply using the commonly accepted name of the conflict in Syria. I’m not making a statement on the nature of the war or those responsible.

        Further, “other resistance groups”, “coalition”. That still ignores the main point that Syria has nothing left to fight with. What coalition will they lead?

        Further, what asymmetric warfare? What groups are currently operating within Israel? What gains have they made? This is not the Veitcong fighting an invader from across the sea.

          I think you have missed the point of the article. It is not talking about the Syrian army taking the Zionist entity head on in a conventional conflict. It is fighting them by reducing and eliminating their ISIS proxies in Syria (with the help of Russia), and just like Iran offering support and safe harbor to other resistance groups that launch attacks on the Zionist occupation forces. In case you have not been paying attention, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Ansarallah in Yemen have both been continually attacking the IOF since the Al-Aqsa Flood, while drone and other attacks on US bases in Iraq and Syria are also escalating by the day. This is the asymmetric strategy, it is to inflict death by a thousand cuts on the occupier. The resistance has the patience to outlast the colonizers, and moreover, although this is not obvious to many people, they also have escalation dominance in the region - why else do you think the US panicked and sent entire carrier groups into the Mediterranean and toward the Persian Gulf? But they will escalate at a pace of their choosing and at such time when it has the maximum impact. In the meantime not only is international mood shifting against the US and its neocolony in Palestine the more they continue their crimes against humanity, public opinion across the Arab world is also hardening and support for the Axis of Resistance is skyrocketing.
