Unfortunately she is right. Syria and Russia were extremely naive to trust Erdogan and the West. Russia had learnt it the hard way in Ukraine, and Syria is learning it in a disastrous way now.
Up until the Astana agreement, Syria and its allies were crushing the Jihadist terrorists, chasing them all the way to Idlib, where Turkey sent forces there to protect them under the threat of their NATO-membership protection. After the Astana agreement, Assad put Syria back to a civilian economy with what meagre resources his nation could muster under the weight of Western sanctions. Military modernization and training took a seat back since then. Admirable, but very naive. Erdogan and the West used Astana to buy time to rebuild their Jihadist armies. So when they struck again in 2024, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) was caught unprepared. The SAA collapsed at an alarming rate in Northen Syria. This has to be a one of the worse military debacles we have had to witness since the Iraqi Army collapse to ISIS, and the Afghan Army collapse to the Taliban.
When your neighbourhood is filled with treacherous snakes like Erdogan and Netanyahu, preparing for peace is one of the biggest mistakes a leader can make. Yes, war is not fun, but so is allowing the enemy to invade and rape your country. Syria should have spent those years of relative peace to modernize its military first. They should have reformed their military command structure to more modern standards instead of keeping that old Assad-centric system that had failed them more than 10 years ago. There is no point to build up your economy if you can't defend it. China had learnt that the hard way for over a century.
