ty4baking!!!!! Would like to re-iterate this point about ideology
>you can't kill an idea is not justification for not protecting the world against it
THIS IS WHY safegaurds need to be built into society to protect against what is an inherent flaw in human nature!!! at any point in time, any doctrine or idea could be radicalized by a zealot.
Its a human systems issue. U.S. constitution is good example of having safegaurds against power abuse and radicalization built into system. CIA is good example of deterioration and human misery that can occur if these safegaurds are circumvented.
The Wahhabi ideology must have it's power removed. Saudi Arabia, whether clerics are in power or not (I need to do more research here) is perpetuating this ideology globally and injecting power into it. It will not survive

how do you reconcile the fact that Wahhabism is just an ultra-orthodox (salafi) version of Sunni Islam? from what i understand they just take the Quran very literally, at least officially. all the various sects of Islam have disagreements and varying degrees of orthodoxy, but they all use the same holy book. It seems like reformation of Islam in general is the answer, not just the elimination of Wahhabism

Alright, enough shitposting, now to encourage some serious discussion: What are the options for the political future of Syria? It's quite obvious after Hariri said the opposition won't discuss it in Geneva, it will be decided in Astana. Will it be federalisation with Iraqi-like Kurdish autonomy? Will Bashar forget his promise and keep rulling after his 3rd 7 years old term ends in 2021?

I think after the FSA is wiped out and ISIS is pushed out, Assad should make peace (under Russian supervision) with the Kurds and give them an autonomous state within Syria. After that is the process of rebuilding because Syria might have one of the most experienced militaries in the Middle East now, they are severely weakened. First priority is rebuilding infrastructure and economy. I am definitely expecting Israel to pull some Jewish shit with the Golan Heights used as an excuse.
Juan Wright
There's like a hundred thousand civs in there or something.
They seem to be half-assedly tryign not to kill them, but as video will show, realistically its impossible to not level the fucking place, they're even using white phosphorus to burn them out. Either way, it still makes it take longer. Also, they're trying not to get themselves killed, and the Old City is a rats nest with ample ambush opportunity. Also, they're Arabs and suck at combat by default.

except the siege hasn't been going on for years. ISIS controls the Old City which is a very dense very and you essentially have the die hard fanatics left, the area might be even teeming with traps and IEDs from when the Iraqis began to take the city
Jason Miller
Wrong. DeZ has positions outside of the city, and several military bases outside of the city. DeZ also has an airbase to initiate airstrikes on enemy positions. Mosul pocket is exclusively inside the city, no bases, no air force, and completely surrounded by pissed Iraqis. >As for how they are still holding out, two factors: >1: Civilians. It's basically a hostage situation at this point. ISIS uses civilians as human shields to keep Iraqis from blowing them up. >2: Old City. Extremely dense part of the city. Narrow roads, lots of buildings, lots of defenses and ambushes. Tanks and armored vehicles can't move around and do shit as well as they could in the countryside. Also, muh civilians.
Expect ISIS to hold out for several weeks at the most.

So yeah, federalisation seems inevitable.

Rif faggots are really trying to do everything in order to stir up scandals they can use to destabilize the country further.
> Bashar's word is not the last one, honestly Turkey, Iran and Russia will decide Syria's faith, as they're the guarantors of the deal. I think with Russian influence being the most powerful, the federalisation is likely an option. Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Birzani (Iraqi kurds) dont want this Rojava. Russia only cares about two thing : that base and stability. That wont happen if the Americans force this Rojava (Israeli) project. The Russians know that the kurds in the SDF are fully under US control. So if the kurds get autonomy = US presence. If the US leaves = kurds get butchered from all sides.
The kurds cant pull this thru without the US, they dont have the numbers and demographics. Russia wont take a route that will anger Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Birzani and Syrian govt.

>Will it be federalisation with Iraqi-like Kurdish autonomy? Uncertain. Depends on where the chips lie once the guests have left. >Will Bashar forget his promise and keep rulling after his 3rd 7 years old term ends in 2021? 2021 is the current projected timeframe for him stepping down ( think Putin said this ) . However, the classics are full of stories of leaders who quit while they are ahead only to be begged to return by the people. Sort of like Hillary (yes ok it's bait).
If there is a change of leadership, it may well run it's course and Assad may return in the guise of 'beloved leader', with or without implied sarcasm.
In the event, he may never leave - although the sequence of events required for this to become a reality have not yet happened, if they ever will.

Leo Hill
Not going to happen, Israel wouldn't ever agree to it, and keep in mind Russian-Israeli relations are really good right now, so Russians won't sacrifice it. Well, she's being more and more popular, and Bashar seems to respect the Constitution to the point of not breaking it and resigning in 2021. She seems as the most likely winner of 2021 elections if he keeps his promise, other than that a Russian puppet maybe.

Im sure he wont give them anything, it will be another Golan Heights (land locked) if they push it surrounded by enemies. Most of the people living there arent even kurdish and would rather side with Assad than them. What youre suggesting is creating another problem that will end in bloodshed.

This is actually something I keep trying to tell the bongroach, about the US stepping up agression against Assad if le precious Kurds are attacked, not about the """""Rojava"""""" autonomous region. However Assad doesn't need to broker a deal to give them their precious meme state, this isn't part of his agreement with them and they should be happy he isn't barrel bombing the fuck out of them once the war is over.
Kayden Carter
This cant be wrapped up in any shape or form with a kurdish region in an area they didnt exist in before 2011. This is an invasion, not an autonomy to some indigenious people. What youre suggesting is another Palestine scenario.
Brandon Diaz
America wins again. This triggers the Assadist.
Camden Adams
Bashar the Lion has every chance to win every election in Syria now. It doesn't matter whether elections happen or not.
The Kurds are trickier problem though. You see, nobody really gives a fuck about Kurds, but the oil, that's the only thing that really matters. So if the Kurds get their autonomy and oil stays the property of Syrian government, I see no issue in federal solution.

>Depends on where the chips lie once the guests have left. Fair point, if SDF can link up with the NSA there's barely any chance of avoiding it, but if Deir ez-Zor holds, and SAA&Friends reach it before the Kurds there's a major diplomatical advantage in favor of avoiding unnecessary divide. >However, the classics are full of stories of leaders who quit while they are ahead only to be begged to return by the people. Makes sense, after the "Basil the example, Bashar the future" it's doubtful he'll just leave, but it makes one wonder, he never broke his word, and he said many times he will not break the constitution.
Ethan Rogers
