Overview Of Battle For Eastern Ghouta On March 6, 2018 (Maps, Videos)

actually no, the only reason the jihadist groups got an upper hand at all at any earlier point in this conflict is because Saudi Arabia, Turkey and western nations provided advanced weaponry and an unlimited flow of foreign fighters. The Russians stepped in to even the playing field. Absent foreign fighter support and advanced weaponry from the gulf states, the SAA would completely crush the so called “rebels”.

Nobody came to the rebels to fight for them. Saudi states never supported anyone but rich individuals from such areas assisted I believe. There is no way in hell the Saudi royal family would assist them. Behind the scenes they are allied with Assad and this would come surprise to most but reality. Because they feel threatened by the rebels more then Assad hence his the lesser evil of two evils.

So nothing really equal the playing field as nobody came compared to both the US and Russia fighting the uprising..

Hack this was never a Civil war but rather ”Russia-US war against Syrian uprising” This is what it should be called and will be remembered in the history books come the next decades. I honestly don’t even understand why this is still categorized as civil war or written as such on paper

“nobody came to the rebels to fight for them”? ROFL. “nobody” as in 10s of thousands of foreign fighters pouring in from Turkey and across the globe. Yeah, “nobody”. There was hardly any “rebels”. The was the original FSA and Salim Idris, who were getting completely demolished by Assad’s forces all the way up to 2013. It was only thanks to advanced weaponry provided by the Saudis and the Turks, as well as western powers and gulf states, many of whom fell into the hands of Islamist groups (including the “Army of Conquest” coalition that eventually took over Idlib. There was no “uprising”. It was a bunch of savage jihadists trying to impose their theocratic vision upon the rest of Syria from day one.

Saudi Arabia supported Assad? LMAO. You can’t make this stuff up. They wanted Assad to “stay in power” so they sent an bunch of fucking TOW missiles to the opposition the moment the rebels started getting their ass beat.

YEAAH totally makes sense *sarcasm*

hahah really , dude who the fuck are you , ur a joke , I would kill my self If I read more comments by you , poor analysis , sry kids analysis , go play some where else plz .

You call yourself an “analyst” by proclaiming that your analysis are flawless yet you let your hatred for the Syrian President blind your judgement. The Syrian army has grown very much since the Russian intervention. The tiger forces are the strongest link in the SAA, never lost one battle.

The US has never helped the SAA and their fake proxy war against Isis is a mere attempt to occupy land and sovereignty after jihadi defeat. If you don’t agree then please answer this, since the launch of the Isis campaign by over 50+ countries in Syria (US coalition) they dropped more bombs (20k) than the Syrians had over Isis. Yet, somehow Isis only grew and grew, capturing oil rigs, strategic strongholds and massive advances were accomplished. How come Isis began losing ground only when Russia stepped in? Trump has continued on with the same Syria policy as obama, even striking less.

Anyways, eastern ghouta will fall, very soon! If the northern pocket in ghouta (soon to be pocket) falls, then the SAA will be able to conduct operations from 3 directions. The jihadis won’t stand a chance, no one can defend that kind of pressure.

May I just ask you something? If you were the president of a country and Russia armed a jihadi group to topple you, would you surrender your country or fight back? Yes, Assad forces have killed more because he has air superiority which the jihadis lack and they use human shields. Would you want him rather to surrender his country than risk killing civilians? What would you do? Also, please name 1 “rebel group” that is not associated with jihadis and has never associate with groups like HTS or Isis. Just one, please name one group. I’ll give you time to do your research.

Because I only hear people talk about how these jihadis are “moderate rebels” yet when it comes to it, they decline to hold them refuge so how do you expect Assad to grant them power?

The US didn’t help this revolution at all but some may like to claim it repeatedly but it dosen’t make it a fact but rather a desparate call to cause confuse but still it won’t work.

The US and the 50+ coalitions stepped in to take on one of the major players in this civil war and one that was anti-assad player so there you have it and the Russians took on the other player against Assad in the rebels so you have the 2 biggest superpowers taking on 2 different rebels who also happened to be Assad’s main rivals in this game of thrones chess.

This war is called a civil war only on paper but in it’s actual physical form it was Russia and the US taking on 2 different entities of uprising within the Syrian territory trying to topple the government. So in all reality this was by no means civil war.

The Tigers are nothing more then paper tigers in all truthfulness despite all the asistance they got they are going into their 8th years against opponents who are facing superpowers in the same time as they are fighting them.

If the tigers or any other SAA entity is pressured just little they would fold faster then house of cards.

The best outcome for Assad is to wish that nothing happens to Russia or the US economy within the next 10-yrs or so. He will be gone as fast as that happens. literally nothing can safe him beyond that. Because nobody will be able to come out to safe him at that moment.

I’m gonna tell you this now the SAA alone has zero chances against even 20-times smaller forces of Hardline militent groups. This is just fact and everybody who has been following this war unbiased should know this fact by now

Yes sounds like a Mountain of Shit Talk to stop writing Shit Talk Mountain..

On the other hand the SAA managed to hold on DESPITE the US, France, the UK, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar funneling billions in weapons and money to the Jihadis. And the reverse holds true also, without foreign backers the Jihadis would have been wiped out as well. And any monetary crash that would see the support of Russia and Iran evaporate would also evaporate that of the backers of the Jihadis. The Russian economy is no longer like the old communist one. Anything that could trigger its massive collapse would basically mean a global catastrophy. Like the banking crisis.

And do not underestimate how much the Jihadists have been bloodied down over the past years. Their support infrastructure has been systematically targeted and degraded. And their losses have been massive. In 2016 they were still able to launch massive offensives, like the one over the Ramouseh Artillery academy in Aleppo which saw them punch through government lines. Or the last two Hama offensives which saw them make major gains as late as early 2017. Since then however nothing. They’ve given the best that they got and have been unable to recover. The only thing that stopped the government Idlib offensive was basically Turkey coming to their rescue, and their brethren in East Ghouta. In contrast the SAA’s support infrastructure has been rebuilt and replenished. The Russians have rebuilt tank workshops and improved training regimes. In that sense, without either receiving foreign backing I’d say that the Jihadis are not able to reverse the government gains with a quick blitz because they first have to recover and regroup, something that the SAA has been doing since the Russian intervention started in 2015.

The funding nor weapons have no big deal at the end of the day or can change outcomes. The rebels themselves were also buying these same weapons.

Everything is available on the black-market. Nothing really to be surprised about or woowed. Not to forget the Rebels were paying for these weapons or their supporters somewhere or other countries where buying for them.

I don’t see any advantage in that for them. They were mostly buying things on the market with their money and other times help by other groups otherside of their circle

132 billion dollars according to the Qatar PM. No big deal at the end of the day, you have a rich mama or your blind.

Wrong, terrorists were armed by Israel-USA-NATO through Qatar- Saudis-Turkey-Jordan….forget your black market!

They were not “buying weapons” you fucking moron. They were actively being supplied by the Gulf States, Turkey, and western countries since at least 2012-2013. That, and foreign fighters were pouring across the northern border. The only thing you’ve been following as an “analyst” is fake news propaganda from jihadists and “white helmets”. You don’t see any “advantage” in rebels acquiring MANPADS, TOW missiles and ISIS acquiring military equipment from Iraqi forces? ROFL.

Yeah, ok Mr Armchair General. If this is the kind of “analysis” you do, be grateful you’re not in any position of leadership or authority in managing armed crises. You would be an incompetent buffoon whose subordinates would probably turn on and execute.

This shit is fucking hilarious.

the tunnel network in eastern ghouta is not particularly “extensive”.

Yes it is

No it is not.

Yes it is.

LMAO, did this dumb piece of shit just compare Eastern Ghouta to Stalingrad? ROFL. What a thorough disappointment you will be.

Lmao u seem salty af.. Just to piss u off a little more, ur god Bashar Alassad is not gonna last forever one day he’ll pay for his crimes . And yes Jobar has lasted for 8 years and Saa never came close to capturing that district…these defenders are much more talented and competent than the whole SAA.

Bashar is not a “god”, but he is a decent human being compared to all the dumbfuck jihadist headchoppers and goat fuckers that you are rooting for. Jobar lasted 8 years? ROFL, Jobar was only captured by the rebels in 2013, which was 5 years ago during the so called “Damascus Offensive”.

8 years… rofl…. just shows how little you know bout this conflict. You’re entitled to your dumbfuck uninformed opinion, you’re not entitled to your facts. If you can’t even get your facts straight, your “opinion” is worth less than dogshit.

Jobar was never the primary objective as it will soon be, as the SAA was preoccupied with more pressing frontlines at other parts of Syria.

These “defenders” are so “talented” that they load up civilian prisoners in cages and hide behind civilians as human shields. “Talented”? Rofl, more like barbaric savages and cowards who do not understand how to wage war, and who will soon be loading up in green buses and go wailing like a bitch to their mothers in Idlib.

Jobar will fall into the hands of the SAA, and all your beloved FSA rats from Jaish al-Islam, Al-rahman corps, nusra, and ahrar al sham boys will have their little lives snuffed out, and most of us here will love to see the carnage and suffering while your pathetic ass will be wailing alone in his room.

Bashar is a decent human? You’ll see him in court and hanged for the atrocities he caused. Jobar was anti-gov area since the beginning and it still is after all thise years The army tried and tried again to advance in jobar but never could. in jobar there are no civilians anymore and it’s dangerously close to the capital they would’ve taken it if they could. I would be happy to see an end to the war but what saddens me that people forget the all sides in this conflict are the bad guys from jihadists to government…. whoever wins this the situation will remain the same. I couldn’t but notice that u swear and use bad language a lot.. i wouldn’t mind it if u were a teenager or a child cuz u don’t know any better…but if you are an adult then shame on you.

Bashar is not responsible for any “atrocities”. He is valiantly defending his country against a foreign backed “uprising” by jihadist groups who want to turn Syria into another theocratic emirate like Afghanistan. Jobar was not an anti government are in the beginning at all. Most civilians from Jobar fled during the early 2013 Damascus offensive launched by rebel groups.

Again, Jobar was not taken because Eastern Ghouta in general, until now has not been a major priority compared to other front lines that required more attention. Why would anyone prioritize the region when it was largely surrounded and secured from all sides, whereas ISIS and FSA groups like Army of Conquest were launching successful operations and taking territory in other parts of the country? That doesn’t make any sense.

Nothing is likely to happen to Assad. He will remain the president of Syria and he will continue to be supported by the majority of Syrians. Your Wahhabi zealots and headchoppers will be put through a meat grinder however.

No civilians in Jobar? Rofl. Another delusion.

Here’s whats going to happen. Barring outside intervention from US, Eastern Ghouta will be liberated in less than 12 months, most likely before the end of 2018. And furthermore, I don’t expect we will be seeing YOUR embarassed ass anywhere on southfront.

End of 2018!! way too long Alexander Mercouris at the Duran believes it will be a matter of weeks

I’m being generous of course. There’s no doubt the more heavily fortified districts in southeastern part of the pocket will be more difficult to dislodge, but it will certainly not be some glorious grand “last stand” lasting several yers like some headchopper sympathizers here would want you to believe.

You’ll see me around, i have the right to say what i want and I’m not waiting for your approval

I’m not suggesting you need my “approval”. You have every right to say whatever you want, and we have every right to call you out on your bullshit and laugh at your pathetic excuse of an “analysis”.

Good. We will enjoy laughing at you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNbF9PI9Gjo

SAA should use tear gas nad yiur cimrades in 72 virgins fucking had no chance in their ratholes and moletunnels.

barrel bombs with tear gas. like chemical attack. i was in chemical unit formerly. it is possible. we trained this.

Expect to win the lottery jackpot while you are dreaming!
