If you have been following the news, you are probably aware of the recent developments in North-Western Syria. But for those that aren't up to speed with the situation - Rebel anti-Assad forces from Idlib province, have launched a surprise blitzkrieg offensive that has captured the second-largest city in Syria - Aleppo in just the last few days, seemingly meeting with little effective on the ground resistance from the Syrian Army. The rebel coalition is being supported and backed by Turkey, however many of the main factions within these anti-Assad forces are Islamist/Jihadists such as HTS. I have seen it being theorised by some that this offensive was launched now, as Assad can't count on Russian support as reliably as he previously could, due to Putin being pre-occupied with his invasion of Ukraine. I have also heard that the these rebels are now also fighting the Rojavan Kurdish forces, acting as a proxy for Turkey.

I wanted to hear your thoughts on this situation. How do you view the rebels? How fare do you think this new campaign of theirs will get, will they possible even manage to overthrow Assad? What geopolitical implications this might have and how the US (for sure) has a hand in this situation...

Which left-wing ideology do you view yourself as being/most aligning with? I just thought it would be interesting to do a quick poll to get an idea of the general leanings of the subreddit. obviously I couldn't fit every single ideology on here, hence the ''other'' option at the bottom. if you want to elaborate on what kind of "other" you are in the comments, please do so. :)
