I’m shocked that the ruling dynasty fell as quickly as it did, along with the military being ineffective and unwilling to stop the rebels given how long the civil war has been going on for. Incredible.
Looks similar to USA withdrawal from Afghanistan. When big power withdrew support, whoever they were protecting just got run over in a week. Same here.
Is a 14 years long process (the Syrian civil war) quick? Just Wikipedia the civil war article. Did people forget about ISIS uprising as well? Look at the map: the regime haven't controlled most of the territory since the start of the civil war. The regime has become a failed state struggling to make ends meet.
