The writer explains how Iran would pass out “keys to paradise” for the conscripts to wear around their necks during their war against Iraq, and now, Assad and Iran seem to have an inexhaustible supply of men in Syria, Shia from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon and Iraq, brainwashed or bribed into the fight.
“The regime lost Aleppo’s Artillery College in the first place because it was defended by released criminals, rounded-up deserters, and boys press-ganged at checkpoints,” the writer states, further explaining that “today the regime’s most effective troops are sectarian and mafia forces more loyal to local warlords than to the regime itself. These sectarian forces are outnumbered by thousands of Iranian Revolutionary Guards added to tens of thousands of Iranian proxy militia fighters.”
The writer then explains how “Syrian conscripts are often commanded by Iranian officers” and if they disobey, they are executed.
Assad handed over the country to murderous foreign interests when he stated in July 2015 that “Syria is not for those who hold its passport or reside in it, Syria is for those who defend it,” the writer explains.
The writer then likens Assad’s statement with that one of ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who said: “Syria is not for Syrians and Iraq is not for Iraqis. The land is for the Muslims, all Muslims,” explaining that “by all Muslims” Baghdadi meant that infinitesimally tiny minority which pledges allegiance to him and his totalitarian “caliphate.”
The writer then explains that Syria’s current situation is a foreign occupation which has made the conflict a war of national liberation, arguing that the only way for Assad’s opposition to win is through a true national discourse.
