Demented idiot can’t deal with the rebels in his own country and he thinks he can take on Israel. With what exactly?

This article is several years old.

Agreed.
PING to this flashback.
As Assad said: first the rebels, then Israel.

irreconcilable differences.
The Israelis see the connection between Syria and Iran both of which are connected to Russia and that should help explain all the activities in the region in recent years from the war in Syria to the war in Ukraine etc. etc. etc.
Does the United States have to get drug into it all?
And, Israel is clearly an enemy of Assad and they have defacto supported both ISIS and Al Qaeda in Syria.
With Iran being the bigger bogeyman.
As a Norwegian?
I know our idiot politicians love to put their nose in there.
We helped Israel get the nuclear bomb.
Now let them have have at it.
