By the way General, have YOUR troops achieved ANYTHING in Syria? Assad is still there and getting stronger by the day.
Did you say that Britain was ....attacked by Russia, do you have upto date casualty fugures, or are the casualties on same level as ...Pearl Harbour?
What a fucking idiot.
It depends on what spin you wish to attribute to the statement. Because you are not a very honest individual, you would attribute any spin in order to pull the wool over everyone's eyes.
I said that the Coalition won because it met its objectives of degrading and destroying Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. It achieved those objectives and that is very clear to everyone. The victory here is very comprehensive. We have liberated all Islamic State lands and our forces are now in control of these lands, including the former self-declared capital of Islamic State.
Now, there are many other objectives. You have however declared victory at Aleppo. That is what I would call extremely premature. There is no way anyone can declare a comprehensive victory in Syria other than the Coalition Vs Islamic State and maybe Pootin Vs Free Syrian Army (Aleppo Siege)
Syria has not won anything. In fact, considering the country of Syria is just a burning heap of rubble and the war still continues after 7 whole years, I would say that Syria or Assad have lost big time and they face many more losses to come with Coalition presence in Syria supporting some rebel groups.
The superpowers are now deeply embedded and no one can leave without a comprehensive peace settlement because this is a high stakes proxy now between them. by definition, a proxy to avoid direct conflict. Foe how long, no one knows.
You are foolish to believe that the West will just allow Russia's direct Chemical attack against the UK just slide. A superpower like the USA can not be seen to back down. Therefore, why it maintains a presence in Syria. The West is however a lot more accountable than Pootin is which is why we can't be seen to retaliate in kind. Therefore, the game gets played in other ways, through other actors to the detriment of Syria and Russia. What does this mean for Pootin and Syria. Well, it looks like the Coalition will be helping the SDF and Kurdish rebel groups in Syria and help them keep their spoils and perhaps work towards a Kurdish State.
