Not that I have a side in this, but Libyans are still waiting for that dignity and freedom since 2011Dire for the regime, russia and iran but not Syria. Syrians will be free and dignity wil return.
SAA has been through worse times .Hama was supposed to be the last fortress of the SAA in the north, and now they are abandoning it.
At the rate of this collapse, nobody can truly help Syria. Russia, Iran, and Syria have been made as utter fools in trusting the West and Turkey so easily. Russia continues to make deals with Erdogan even when Turkish weaponry continues to kill Russians in Ukraine. In 2022, Russia moved the S-300 that Syria bought and paid for to Crimea as goodwill to Israel. The Iranian president still wants to grovel to the West to loosen their grip on sanctions. Assad transitions to a civilian economy and sat on his outdated military, refusing to talk to Erdogan, but also ignored the Erdogan's Jihadist force buildup in Idlib for months. All of them are at fault.
Then there are rumours that the IDF have amassed an armoured force in the Golan Heights, and "reconciled rebels" are picking up arms against Assad again in the south, and Damascus. So things are looking dire for Syria, Russia, and Iran axis.

Yeah . Just like there was no true alternative to Saddam but eventually with time, the country will find its way and new governance system/regime will take place. Nobody is bigger than a country or indispensable to a country. So to tie a whole country's fate to one human being is rather ridiculous and shows how incompetent and wrong that leader has been to the country to make a system that can't outlast them. Asaad leaving or dying isnt the end of syria, life goes on. Not the first or last time such things happens.At the moment, there are no true alternatives to Assad. And even if there was, Russia and Iran are not in the business of regime change, especially on their own allies. The sheer incompetence of Assad and the SAA deserves severe condemnation, but looking at the bigger picture, abandoning Syria and Assad to their fate will bring worse outcomes for Russia and Iran.
Peoples (and place) might be different, but do you think times are?Different peoples, different times.
