Only Alevis, and foreign militias and conscripts.

Some people sides with him just to have the war stop in a defeatist midset, but other than than no genuine support, everyone know the amount of blood that man has spilled. None from the sunnis who would be willing to die for him.

That's a misconception. There are Baathist Sunnis,Nationalists and moderates who are pro-government or just don't want their country to fall into Salafi hands.

You call your perverted belief Islam? What you believe in is not Islam. You change religion according to your own political interests. Also don't forget that half of Iran is Turkic, Turks ruled Iran for 1000 years.

The Salafi's say same thing about Sufi Turks. You shouldn't attack the guy as you don't know what's in his heart.

Personally I just follow Sha'fieee madhab and I don't believe in concepts of Saints or Imams and I'm not obsessed with Sahaba like Salafi's are. And also not obsessed with Ahyul Al Bayt like Shia's are. Just have respect for both but ultimately the Prophet is the teacher. Though there is nothing blasphemous about liking Sahaba a lot of Ahyul Al Bayt as long as no one falls into worshipping them or exalting them above what they are. Some people find that interesting and the history and can mentally process it all together. It's just a preference. I personally can't and I just keep it simple as I can.

That doesn't protect from shirk since shirk can come in many others ways such as praying to impress others is a form of shirk. Taking interest is small shirk. Swearing by other than God is small shirk. A lot of Sunnis and Shia's will do some of this. And a lot don't. Imo, it doesn't make sense that Ummah will be split in sects by birth.

My understanding is on judgement day, people that born in different sects but worshipped God alone, did prayers, fasting, etc.... and didn't involve in small or big shirk will be in the group of believers. That's my educated guess.

Both Sunni and Shia scholars agree on this fact that end times will end with appearance of one of prophet's descendants. And it has not happened yet.

Like I said, many scholars say lots of things that are wrong. We need to be careful. Here's one of the explanations of the hadith you mentioned.

Hadith:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Turks; people with small eyes, red faces, and flat noses. Their faces will look like shields coated with leather. The Hour will not be established till you fight with people whose shoes are made of hair.” (Volume 4, Book 52, Number 179 Bukhari)

Explanation:
The Turks in this hadith are the Tatars, meaning the Mongolian and Turkic people that took part in the invasion of Central and Western Asia and Eastern Europe such as Tamerlane, Genghis Khan, and Hulagu Khan as indicated by al-Barzanji in his compilation of all the hadiths pertaining to the end of times titled al-Isha’a li-Ashrat al-Sa`a, and Allah knows best.

Official objective according to spokesman of the coalition is to move away SAA forces and others from populated areas of Idlib and allow for return of refugees.

Essentially negotiating for better conditions to the current ceasefire. And preventing a offensive on Idlib.

I don't know if the SAA/allies were actually prepping for a offensive on Idlib as I wasn't following this conflict.

Lebanon's Tripoli has a substantial radical Sunni population. Do you know about the Bab At-Tabaneh and Jabal Mohsen conflict?

Saddam was a Baathist Sunni. The Assads are not, infact they led an internal coup of the Baathist party to take power.

No one willing to die for assad outside of foreign militias and the Alevis. The Druze will switch sides depending on who has the stronger hand and the sunnis who just want the war to stop aren't going die for assad.

Assad does not have a sunni base that is ride or die. Thats what you need to understand, it ranges from Indifference to wanting stability and end to fight, not some sort of diehard commitment to him.

Not quite. There will be a counter attack. It's hard work to capitalize on military gains, especially for a non-state actor that is dependent upon external support.
 
People do not share maps anymore because literally every half hour a new village, street or suburb is taken over by the rebels. Keeping up is nearly impossible.

It's a devastating blow to the regime that we're witnessing.

Btw, the Northwest of the country is the heartland of Syria. Losing here means losing half of Syria.

Are you kidding? Your goons attacked Syria right when the ceasefire in Lebanon took effect and you blame Iran?? Saying Iran is on the imperialist side?

Russia and Assad bombed Idlib this whole year, the offensive is in response them going to their "final solution" of trying to expel all of Idlib into Turkey. The Rebels launched a counter operation, but they didn't expect it to be this successful as they broke through and gained far more than they expected, as the SAA seems to be retreating.

"Verily, you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful army will that army be, and what a wonderful commander will that conqueror be."

Turks protected the Islamic world from the Hajjis and Russians for 1000 years. We held the honorable banner of Islam. No one can deny the service of Turks to Islam. Without the Turks, most of the Middle East would be in the hands of Christians today. Allah gave us this honor.

What you say was the case during the early stages of the war. It's not applicable to the current situation. The dynamic is different today. Whatever the rebels gain in these weeks of war will remain with them for the foreseeable future.
