The only people i'm really on the side of anymore is the kurds. The SAA and FSA just need to reach some sort of ceasefire and begin peace talks so the SAA can entirely focus on ISIS. It seems possibly attainable if Assad agrees to step down and hold elections after ISIS is gone.

there is no possible way Turkey can successfully occupy Syria in the insurgency that would follow and it would still require a massive NATO air campaign at the very least which would take heavy losses, even if Turkey did successfully overthrow Assad it would lead to a rapefugee flood into Europe that would make the current one pale in comparison and Turkey is already threatening to release more refugees if it doesn't receive financial support

Saudi Arabia has large reserves but very little domestic industry and is much more dependent on oil, if it wasn't for massive sanctions introduced in 2010 and 2011 Iran would have already overtaken Saudi Arabia in gross domestic product

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_equipment_manufactured_in_Iran
literally everything used by Iran except for 4th generation fighters and tank chassis' are domestically produced, as for what is exported that makes an impact that would be small arms, ammunition, ATGMs and explosives
for example Iran can keep supplying Toophan ATGMs to Houthi rebels at a much lower cost than Saudi Arabia can keep supplying Syrian rebels with TOW ATGMs, and a Saudi M1A2 is a $8-12m tank whereas a T-55 or T-62 is under $100k, the money also continues to circulate through the Iranian economy and Quds owned factories
>Those days are over. Hezbollah and Iranians command the SAA now. Even if this war ends with Assad completely winning, he is forever indebted to Iran.
In Iraq most companies are now owned by Iran, the Iraqi state and all of its industries have been thoroughly gutted by Iran and anybody in an important position is either Iranian or reports directly to Tehran. In Syria, Iran may have bailed out state banks but all assets are still owned by the Syrian state which exerts control and Iran has to deal with Syrian security forces as an intermediary.

Original Prussians are Baltics not Slavs.
They got conquered, christianized and germanized by the Teutonic Order.
The Teutonic Order lost the conquered Territory to the Kingdom of Poland and it was divided into two Parts, one part became a Duchy, the other part of Poland.
The Duchy fell through inheritance and marriage to the Prince Elector of the Margraviate of Brandenburg, who belonged to the Royal House of the Hohenzoller.
After the Thirty Year War the Hohenzoller got into a conflict with the Royal House of the Habsburger, who rule over the Kingdom of Austria and held the Titel of Emperor in the Holy Roman Empire at that time. So to get on one Level with the Habsburgs, the Hohenzoller used their Duchy of Prussia, which wasn't part of the Holy Roman Empire, to call themselves "King in Prussia".
Over the time, Brandenburg-Prussia became more and more awesome, while the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth started to more and more suck and so all of Prussia fell to the Hohenzoller, who founded the Kingdom of Prussia.
The Kingdom of Prussia unified the German Kingdoms and founded the German Reich.
The German Reich was destroyed though WW1 and WW2 and what was left after all this time of the original Prussians, was probably raped and murdered by the Polish and Russian, who thought they were Germans.

There were elections not that long ago, the controlled areas voted, there were delegations from 30 countries overseeing the elections and things went smoothly. Some of the criticism were related to having only the government controlled areas voting, but you can't really guarantee the safety of the people involved in the elections if the government authorities don't have power on the area, much less the safety of the international commissions. Also worth saying, like 80% of the population was under the controlled area, so even if those 20% remaining voted, ti wouldn't have changed much.
I honestly don't believe Asad administration is an example of a good government, not one bit, but I also believe that direct international interference never ends well, you're imposing an opinion that might not reflect that of the majority, you're shifting the natural development of their society and I really don't buy this "let's bring democracy facade", this is all about an international power fight.
Funding the fsa was wrong, they only brought more death and mayhem to the region while making terrorist and para-gubernamental organizations in general more powerful.
