The Rapid Shift in Syrian Power Dynamics

The recent upheaval in Syria stems from the organized and well-funded efforts of insurgent groups, notably backed by Turkish intelligence, which rapidly transformed the landscape of conflict in the region. The Syrian Arab army, caught off guard, suffered a dramatic collapse largely due to modern tactics such as drone warfare and advanced communications employed by these insurgents. This shift threatens the stability of the Christian communities in Syria, as radical Sunni elements gain ground and pose a direct threat. The implications for regional players, particularly Russia and Iran, signal severe logistical and strategic setbacks, raising concerns about the future dynamics in a historically volatile area.
