Didn't you say that the Syrian government forces are very strong? Why did the rebels easily capture Damascus?

The Syrian army is a famous weak brigade in the Middle East, which can be described as invincible. Its tactics are backward and its equipment is not advanced. It has always been famous for its low combat effectiveness, low morale and incompetent generals in the Middle East. Created a military miracle and set a number of military records that no one can break. It can be said that there are millions of soldiers and the guns are scattered. In the previous Middle East war, its elite troops did not perform as well as the militia of other countries. The so-called Syrian army is just a joke. It exists only because of the support of the Soviet Union and later Russia.

Apart from Bashar's weakness and hesitation, the current turmoil in Syria has always dreamed of a peaceful solution. In addition to stopping fighting, the incompetence of the Syrian army is also an important reason. If the Libyan war was not the participation of western countries, Gaddafi would not necessarily lose.

Syria's external environment is not good, and it is surrounded by its own enemies, which is convenient for Western agents and special forces to infiltrate and transport weapons.
