I think the winner in all this recent activity in Syria is Erdogan. He supports the rebels more than anyone else that I can see.

Not long ago, he purchased S-400 air defense systems from Russia, and the US retaliated by denying him the F-35. This guy is known for playing both sides. What if he sends his S-400 to the US for us to tear them apart and figure out their weaknesses?

Plus, his side in the Syrian Civil War has momentum. Hell, they just captured Aleppo and Damascus is not that far to the south. Definitely worth following this war.

Just to clarify, the distance between Aleppo and Damascus is 350km, which I’d say is a pretty big gap. The two cities are pretty much on the opposite sides of the country.

The major play I think would be Homs, if they take Homs then Damascus is cut off from Russia's major supply routes. Pro-Assad forces sent a security delegation to the Turkish city of Antalya to hold negotiations with the Turkish side to try to stop the rebels' movement towards Damascus...This doesn't sound like a confident Assad but we'll see. Once the Russian warplanes are in the skies the HTS will need air-defence systems.

They've managed to capture a Pantsir. Hopefully take down a few Russian warplanes with that.
