Isn’t the Syrian Rebels just ISIS anyway rebrand ? Their leader is a leader formerly of ISIS and AlQaeda anyway?

The only silver lining is that Assad is gone and Putin has lost access to the Mediterranean from Syrian ports. The rest is bad - very bad. Turkey is behaving with impunity towards the Kurds in the north and the rise of yet more Islamic fundamentalists is deeply concerning.
11 days and nearly the entire land mass of Syria changed hands Isn't necessarily a good or a bad thing, as all forces seem to have huge downfalls in different categories, but I doubt Russia allows this to stand, as they have lost a lot of credibility if they let their "ally" fall

Tribal groups just fighting it out all the time in the Mideast. It reminds me of early medieval Europe before nationalism took over. From about 300 C E to 1300 C E. Especially after the fall of Rome. Just one tribe after the other. The rise, the fall, bloodshed. Death.
Isn't it strange how all these "rebels" factions started out at the borders of Syria? Just as if they were foreign invaders and not Syrian rebels.
I don’t get how Assad has been fighting the rebels for 13 years. Then all of the sudden on Wednesday that they weren’t anymore ?
The consequence of postcolonial borders, ignoring ethnics, like in Africa. Most interesting part of this civil war is how much power have Kurd's and their ability for establishing independent country.
It seems that they have emerged to disrupt the Syrian revolution and use this as an excuse to create space for themselves in Syria. işid'i suriye devrimini akamete uğratmak ve bunu bahane ederek kendilerine Suriye'de alan açmak için ortaya çıkartmnışlar görünüyor..
Aren’t the fsa and hts totally different entities shouldn’t they get their own colors instead of labeling them as one
It would be interesting to see an overlay of captagon (meth-lite) shipments to the region. Thailand siezed a billion pills back in 2012, and that stuff was heading west.
Achei terrível. À Rússia ajudou a Síria pela primeira vez e agora não mais. Então que deixasse o governo dele cair... foi tempo e investimento. Apesar de todos os crimes que ele fez na Síria. Na verdade tudo é uma grande tragédia.
1. Rojo: الحكومة السورية (El gobierno sirio) 2. Negro: داعش (ISIS o Daesh) 3. Gris: القاعدة (Al Qaeda) 4. Verde: جبهة النصرة (Frente Al-Nusra) 5. Amarillo: الأكراد (Los kurdos)
Mad that there’s 5 colours in the original legend but you’ve only translated 4 of them
