you can take a guess by looking at how HTS/SSG administered areas looked like two weeks ago. they might be aiming for something like very slightly more liberal saudi arabia (women are allowed to study)

there already seems to be sectarian divide precipitating between shias and sunnis

22-23k ft would be 6.7-7km, i did only mental math at that time

n in ncd stands for news

Syrian Civil War is over. Now another Syrian Civil War will begin

i somehow doubt that that widely divergent alliance of convenience will hold any reasonable time. there's a massive issue of ceasefire between SDF and SNA/SSG/FSA or however they're called now, and it's not like the latter is a monolith. there is everything from former AQ jihadis to secularists and minorities like Druze

No. It's about CO triple bond in carbon monoxide, not C=O double bond in carbon dioxide. very different things

Buk (TEL) lacks a radar. Pantsir or MANPADS lacks range (7km altitude give or take). Either they networked radar to Buk, or made these super old S75 work, or planted bomb onboard like with Prigozhin, or something else. It's also possible that F35 sneaked around and took it down with A2A missile, not that we'll ever see it

silly Bashar, should have had his phone on airplane mode

that would be pretty stupid so it's definitely an option

we can guess that 1. assad was on that plane, and 2. it did something that looked like a bad malfunction and 3. there are rumors of plane crash in the area. maybe it was some stupid reason like mechanical malfunction, or maybe friendly fire from russian S300 at Tartus, or maybe unfriendly fire from whatever SAM HTS now has. or something else

well it still could have been friendly fire

this is the kind of superpower that chronic insomnia gets you
