In the last two days, I have read articles describing the situation in Syria as:
1) Hezbollah is losing so many soldiers that many of the survivors are refusing to serve any longer;
2) The non-ISIS Sunni rebels are nearing collapse;
3) The Assad forces are nearing collapse;
4) The Russian airstrikes have brought the Assad forces to the brink of major victories;
5) The Iranians are sending thousands of troops to shore up the Assad forces;
6) The Iranian forces are, for the most part, withdrawing from Syria;
7) The Israelis are conducting a covert campaign in Syria against both Hezbollah and Iranian forces; and
8) There have been two or three air strikes by Israel in 2015 in Syria against weapons convoys to Lebanon, but otherwise, Israel has stayed away from involvement in Syria.
There is just no way that all of these can be accurate or even close to accurate, but they get published nevertheless.
It makes me wonder who is doing the reporting about Syria. Do these people have any idea what is actually happening there?
