Thank you for this - it's so hard to follow what is even happening in Syria.

So like no one is even pretending this isn't a huge proxy war at the expense of the Syrian people at this point, right? Ugh, it's infuriating.

The whole proxy war situation is duplicitous fuckery of the highest order. Some people like to play obtuse, but there are no good guys here. Just a lot of innocent Syrians, trapped between more powerful countries and their war games.

You're welcome, I'm glad you found the post helpful.

And yes you're right, a proxy war is exactly what it is. It's just utterly disgusting.
