"More than 3,000 people have been evacuated in busses and ambulances from a besieged rebel-held enclave in the syrian city of aleppo, it is a moment of history for syria, after 6 years they can finally see an end of it, do you reckon they should of intervened earlier? It represents a major victory for president bashar al-assad " Not really Shag. Although I understand why you believe this is a major victory for Al Assad and brings the war closer to a close I am afraid you are wrong. The victory is pyrrhic at best and at worst can be seen as a loss masquerading as a victory. Because there can be no doubt that all that has happened is the Government of Syria has transported a surrounded and beaten force from a place where its defeat was guaranteed within days to another place that has now been reinforced by the best and most fanatical of fighters the insurgents had in Aleppo. (The thing about urban warfare (FISH) is it can not really be taught in the same way as field-craft, it is much more evolutionary and natural selection is the order of the day.) We all need to be prepared to watch the same grisly and macabre play open and be acted out in the next venue. | |||

" Yes they also thought the same on the news about the victory, now that everyone will leave, is there any point for them to carry on, or is about of who got control of aleppo? | |||
