Syria Updates: The Fall of Bashar al-Assad
- Thread starter Webb
- Start date
Iran and America and its allies (UAE, Saudi) Have basically split up the middle east between theirselves. They have minor skirmishes with the Iranians and Israelis both launching missiles in Syria, Iraq and Yemen and sometimes into eachother's nations, but in reality the Iranians and West cant fight eachother effectively so they maintain this shaky "peace". The idea of a nominally functioning independent Sunni state that does not bow to american or iranian intrests would naturally be alarming to Iran
They weep for Assad who has the blood of hundreds of thousands of syrians on his hands. If he really cared about his nation, he would have stepped down in 2011, but he prolonged human suffering for 13 years.
I like his analysis: he is right about the U.S. wanting Hez and Iran strong enough to pose a threat to Sunnis in the region, but not so strong as to be a threat to Israel, which will keep Sunnis needing support from the U.S.

How many of the people being freed from these prisons are political prisoners as opposed to common criminals?

Sednaya is said to be a prison for political prisoners.
and the other prisons in homs and hama? Also Human Rights Watch said that Sednaya is used by the former government for civilian detainees and political prisoners as well. So it's mixed use, they need to do background checks before they release these inmates. Apparently one of the top aides to Osama Bin Laden has been rotting in there for over a decade and his detention unit is one of the most secure in all of the prison deep underground.

I think the Syrians have more concerns for the safety of their people than you do.
I am sure they have thought about how to handle this.
You think only Syria will be unsafe if it becomes a breeding group for terror groups? Very naive and shortsighted statement
