The only way forward is for whoever wins is to show humanity to everyone. People on both sides are afraid and it’s their job to bring everyone together.

A few weeks ago it seemed like all or vast majority of these factions were in agreement in their condemnation of Israeli action in Gaza and Lebanon even Turkey was using bluster-ish language and the moment a possible peace/ceasefire may occur in Lebanon, Syria all of a sudden starts to burn.
 
That the SAA has suffered setbacks is clear. Iran and Hezbollah too.

I’m most interested in what Assad does. The last time almost everyone expected him to fold over quickly, run away or be overthrown in a coup. But he stayed the course and emerged on top. And earned the grudging respect of allies and even enemies.

For now the fog of war and a lot of (what feels like) deliberate misinformation are making for very speculative reading.

So once more Assad will be tested to the limit.

By the way how reliable is this Ragip Soylu guy? He seems to have very precise information, all best conveniently favouring the rebels.

HTS was set up under a different name, Jabhat al-Nusra, in 2011 as a direct affiliate of Al Qaeda.
The leader of the self-styled Islamic State (IS) group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was also involved in its formation.
It was regarded as one of the most effective and deadly of the groups ranged against President Assad.
But its jihadist ideology appeared to be its driving force rather than revolutionary zeal - and it was seen at the time as at odds with the main rebel coalition under the banner of Free Syria.

Ragip is solid source and not sensationalist...

Regarding first part, regime was much stronger then and not burdened with depletion of human and material sources and even then he barely managed with strong external support and world changed meanwhile and i doubt that he can repeat that scenario.
