Putin to Tighten ‘Military Grip’ on Syria

[Smarana Mitra]

That is correct. However, the Russians cant afford to keep pumping them money forever.

If Syria falls, entire Russian gas supply to EU will be at stake as Qatar can get an easy pipeline to EU. Currently, Russia sells about 15TCF of natural gas to EU. As long as cost of war is less than cost of 15TCF has, Russia will find war to be beneficial economically. Of course there is added political benefits which are much more

There are only 2 Leaders I would really want to meet one day ( if I ever get a Chance ) Putin and Erdogan .. as a Pakistani, I am some what excited about meeting IK but Putin and Erdogan is whole different level in my opinion ..

@vostok bro any chance to meet or shake hand with commorade

Modi is another great leader and had more impact than Erdogan. Putin, Xi & Modi are the top 3 leaders

Invest in people, not in bloody dictators.

I don't buy your lame excuse first, then a crushing majority of Syrian people will remember you with hatred, and I honestly don't care if a dictator, and his family are going to remember Turkey with it.

All of MENA regimes are somehow pure dictators but erdo invested on ISIL & Nusra for years to extend turkish boarders or reform ottoman empire.

You forgot to mention that Russia and Iran are also potential energy rivals. As for Qatar :

https://www.middleeasteye.net/big-story/pipelineistan-conspiracy-war-syria-has-never-been-about-gas

'In December 2016, commodities trader Glencore and the Qatar Investment Authority, the country's sovereign wealth fund, acquired a 19.5 percent stake in Rosneft, Russia's state-owned oil company, for $11 billion. Result: Qatar has achieved easier access to the European market than any pipeline through Syria ever could offer.'

If it wasn't because of erDOGan terrorist there would be no civil wars in Syria Libya and even Iraq.

90% of Syrian people are against Wahhabi Jihadi drakulas:

This seems quite a sweeping statement. I checked the link you attached. It says 70 % of Syrians support Assad. However, the reference to the alleged 'NATO study' which your attached article provides does not exist. Follow footnote number 1 of the attached article.

Nevertheless, I do admit that Assad does have support across multiple sections of Syrians society, including the Sunni Arabs. I just think 90 % is too big an exaggeration.

It is so popular that 7 million people fled or died, while Idlib is home to 2 million refugees from within the country.

Spreading fake news/perception over unreliable sources, Profanity, trolling and flame bait over off topic issues... They are said all these behaviors prohibited in the forum rules section. However, the current Moderation has great determination about turning forum to *******.

Who knows?

I saw some Videos of Putin visiting Hospitals etc, I wonder if he give time for general Public ?

I was in Syria during Assad's rule and it was fine

Erdogan had to carry out America's plans, he's just another bitch of NATO, speeches mean nothing

Posting unreliable information is an issue. However, it is possible that the user did not realize he/she was quoting from a fake source. We cant really blame moderators as thousands of posts daily are shared on the forum. Many of these guys have stuff to do besides moderating. I believe the best practice is that forum members who post on the Middle East should themselves bust propaganda sources.
