Good. Now let’s get rid of that Russian naval base that you no longer need. Still insane how Syria is moving towards becoming a free market economy firmly aligned with the West (especially on counter-terrorism) and under the lead of moderate Islamists (who can hopefully help defuse the radicalism of other Islamists). Also can’t wait for Bibi to leave power and hopefully someone like Yair Lapid comes to power and maybe we can have a real normalization between both nations based on common enemies, shared borders & similar interests. Would be amazing for the region & the world. Bibi had the perfect opportunity after Assad was overthrown to basically congratulate the Syrian people, talk about how Israel helped the rebels, fucked up Hezbollah, gave medical aid to wounded Syrians & how they can partner with each other. It could’ve really helped soften the view of Israelis in the eyes of Syrians. But Bibi fucked it up.

And people were wondering why Syria hasn’t fully kicked the Russian army from its last bases in Latakia and Tartus
They are still too damn dependent on them due to Assad selling his country to Russia
The new Syrian government is basically like a guy trying to walk on a tightrope over the Grand Canyon
They have to do their best to not piss off Russia, Iran,Israel, US, Saudi Arabia,Turkey, even as Russia and Iran butchered their people for a decade and as Israel occupied some of their territory
And all this while avoiding a civil war along ethnic and sectarian lines.
And all this while Russia and Iran run social media campaigns to stoke ethnic and religious conflicts.
And all this while having 50% inflation and 70% unemployment , and average salary of 50 euros
It’s a miracle from God/Jesus/Budha that the country didn’t collapse into civil war.
If US was to experience just 10% of the suffering that Syria experiences now, there would be daily mass shootings at Walmart and Costco
