The surrender of the various mercenary brigades and the breaking of sieges around Damascus is vindication of Russia's military tactics; and also its narrative about the nature of the whole conflict in Syria.
The Western notion of moderate rebels and extremists is being exposed as the nonsense that it is. And so Western media are compelled to evacuate any meaningful context from their coverage of recent events in Syria.
Riad Haddad, Syria's ambassador to Russia, spoke the plain truth in recent days when he said: "We are at a turning point in the Syrian army operations against terrorists -- namely the transition from defense to attack... [because of] the effective work of the Russian air force in Syria." But the ambassador's comments were scarcely, if at all, reported in the Western media. Simply because those words vindicate Russia's military intervention and its general policy towards Syria.
Also missing or downplayed in the Western media coverage of the truces across Syria is the question of where the surrendering mercenaries are being evacuated to. They are not being bussed to other places inside Syria. That shows that there is no popular support for these insurgents. Despite copious Western media coverage contriving that the Syrian conflict is some kind of civil war between a despotic regime and a popular pro-democracy uprising, the fact that surrendering militants have no where to go inside Syria patently shows that these insurgents have no popular base.
In other words, this is a foreign-backed war on Syria; a covert war of aggression on a sovereign country utilizing terrorist proxy armies.
So where are the terrorist remnants being shipped to? According to several reports, the extremists are being given safe passage into Turkey, where they will receive repair and sanctuary from the President Recep Tayyip Erdogan -- and no doubt subsidized by the European Union with its $3.5 billion in aid to Ankara to take care of refugees.
Again, this is another indictment of the state-terrorist links of NATO-member Turkey, which the EU is recently giving special attention to for accession to the bloc.
Russia is not only vindicated in Syria. The Western governments, their media and their regional client regimes are being flushed out like the bandits on the ground in Syria.
If the UN-sponsored peace process due to start in the New Year succeeds to end the conflict in Syria, it will be largely down to Russia's military campaign that has wiped out the terrorist proxies working on behalf of the Western criminal enterprise for regime change in that country.
