So, Russia has lost in Africa and will lose in Syria it seems? |
Not been following Africa so I'm not sure.
Syria is too early to tell but the combination of Iran being distracted by their proxy war with Israel, Hezbollah being decimated by Israel and Russia bogged down in Ukraine has put Assad in a weaker position and it seems Free Syrian Army has decided now is the time to strike, IIRC Erdogan is also a big backer of the Free Syrian Army so it may be him moving on a weakened Russia too.
