I’m more convinced that Damascus’ ruin will be more likely caused by A) an Israeli nuke, or B) direct destruction from Jehovah rather than from internal reasons.

So Damascus might cease to be a city and a civil war in Syria,,and both sides are America-hating and israel-hating muslims?

Man, thats fascinating. Anyway, I need some new shock absorbers on my truck, anyone have opinions on the best brand?

Yawn.

Conservatively, just in the last 1000 years, Damascus has been fought in, besieged, and/or conquered at least 25 times.

Damascus has been all those things except one...it has never ceased to exist. That’s a pretty profound idea...

Yes, no one will live there again so I think it has to be a nuclear blast to keep people away forever.

They had a nuclear building area and Israel bombed that several years ago. I also recall Syria was working on chemicals and someone screwed up and a bunch of the scientists/people working there died. Maybe they will start nuclear again and nuke themselves into oblivion.
