But what comes next?

Muslim brotherhood party probably will rule Syria, if not some other far right Sunni group will rule

Do you (as a Syrian) think the overthrow could and did happen at this point because Russia is busy with Ukraine and Iran is busy with Israel?

the Syrian regime got to the point where its not even functioning, and yes the Russian/Ukraine special military operation lol wakened Russia, and Israel wakened Hezbollah "the major group that was slaughtering Syrian"

The complexity of modern geopolitics. I’ve been very outspoken about Israel and their Zionism stolen land country but I actually support this. Unstable Middle eastern countries do not need weapons like this that can migrate to god knows where.

Yea also especially Islamists.

Syria is a ground for proxy war among larger players, with civil war characteristics. US baked the cake, Syrian rebels blew out the candles. How the cake was baked over years/decades:

- Clean break (1996) 

''A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm (commonly known as the "Clean Break" report) is a policy document that was prepared in 1996 by a study group led by Richard Perle for Benjamin Netanyahu, the then Prime Minister of Israel. The report explained a new approach to solving Israel's security problems.'' The authors Richard Perle and Douglas Feith were Bush advisers at the time and architects of Iraq.

''Israel can shape its strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq—an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right—as a means of foiling Syria’s regional ambitions.''

- The Redirection (Seymour Hearsh article 2007) https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007/03/05/the-redirection

''The Bush Administration, in both its public diplomacy and its covert operations, has significantly shifted its Middle East strategy. The “redirection,” as some inside the White House have called the new strategy, has brought the United States closer to an open confrontation with Iran and, in parts of the region, propelled it into a widening sectarian conflict between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.

The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that there is “a new strategic alignment in the Middle East,” separating “reformers” and “extremists”; she pointed to the Sunni states as centers of moderation, and said that Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah were “on the other side of that divide.” (Syria’s Sunni majority is dominated by the Alawi sect.) Iran and Syria, she said, “have made their choice and their choice is to destabilize.”

- Timber Sycamore (2012) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_Sycamore

''Timber Sycamore was a classified weapons supply and training program run by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and supported by the United Kingdom and some Arab intelligence services, including Saudi intelligence. The aim of the program was to remove Syrian president Bashar al-Assad from power. Launched in 2012 or 2013, it supplied money, weaponry and training to Syrian opposition groups fighting Syrian government forces in the Syrian Civil War. According to US officials, the program was run by the CIA's Special Activities Division[6] and has trained thousands of rebels.[7] President Barack Obama secretly authorized the CIA to begin arming Syria's embattled rebels in 2013.[8] The program became public knowledge in mid-2016.

One consequence of the program has been a flood of US weapons including assault rifles, mortars and rocket-propelled grenades into the Middle East's black market. Critics of the program within the Obama administration viewed it as ineffective and expensive, and raised concerns about seizure of weaponry by Islamist groups and about Timber Sycamore-backed rebels fighting alongside the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front and its allies''

Wikipedia just updated the flag.

Edit: Not really, Syria's updated Wikipedia page doesn't have the new flag but it does have the updated coat of arms. 

Second Edit: Now both the flag and coat of arms is displayed.

Israeli influencer already at it. Not sure if translated accurately but read “We have expanded”

Syria has liberated itself from a dictator only to be made subservient to Israel and other powers. US controls its grain and oil which provide essential resources for the country - are these going to be given back to Syria? Who knows.

Israel took a whole day to get to the border on October 7th, but have seized the golan heights within a day of Assad falling.

They’ve destroyed inferior yet still existent military and naval assets Syria had left, essentially leaving Syria like a sitting duck too weak to swim from its prey.

Like I said days before, the jihadi origins of HTS will be resurrected as a pretext to justify carving up Syria faster than a Christmas Turkey in 2 weeks time - and the Syrian people won’t even get to have the gravy.

Bruh. They were hundreds of rebel groups. If one group allegedly took weapons from isreal that doesn’t mean to generalize all rebels.

which I still think your claim is wrong because the rebels were pounded by Russian and Syrian air strikes everyday in 2012-2016 .

Why weren’t the Israelis kind enough to supply us with missiles to take down those airplanes?

are all weapons the same? I'm seeing reports Syria's navy and more importantly chemical weapons infrastructure has been destroyed.

Assad gasses his own people so to punish him the US took the chemical weapons away from him which made isreal really happy too because those chemical weapons that we had in Syria could compete with nukes in Isreal but now Syria needs to focus on rebuilding itself first and foremost. 
I don’t even know we had a navy in Syria. Never heard of such a thing growing up. The Syrian army was deeply corrupt.

This guy is known to obscure facts to show how evil the opposition is, I don’t want to say an idiot but close. 
and how can you say “another Syrian perspective” if he’s not even Syrian? He’s British. Or maybe Syrians speak in a British accent nowadays.
