Same plot like in Afghanistan. Russian army suddenly left and Syria collapsed in a few days. Most powerful army in the world with high tech deadly weapons and military satellites is apparently unable to wipe out a bunch of inbreed, illiterate, low IQ shitskins? Fucking fake and gay.
Who is in question though? Iran. Why did they do absolutely fuck all nothing to help syria? Their closest ally? They withdrew from the country entirely. They did absolutely *nothing* when their army is A: more than powerful enough, and B: their army is currently not engaged in any conflict whatsoever
I almost guarantee that Iran is an Israeli gayop to this day. The first thing Khomeini did after taking power was he tried to incite shiites in Iraq into a rebellion. Why would he even do this? Shiites in Iraq had full rights and also military positions. Iraq was not confrontational, they extended an olive branch to iran after the 1979 revolution. There was very little sectarianism in Iraq until Iran created it out of thin fucking air. Iraq was Israel's main enemy and the only country that actually could have, and was gearing up to, game end them. Iran invented problems for it that still exist even after 2003.
Syria is another baathist country with minimal (but more present than iraq) sectarianism. Hafez al assad was an alawite so he aligned syria with Iran as opposed to Iraq. He made an incredibly fucking stupid decision. Iran has only caused trouble towards the fight against Israel and their private feelings about another baathist country were probably far more negative than their public ones.
I don't view syrias pivot towards Iran as malicious, but more biased and incredibly short sighted. It was purely for religious purposes, as the Assads are Shia. Saddam was Sunni. The founder of baathism was a Christian syrian. He was exiled from syria to appease Iran and became friends with saddam.
There's a bigger picture here though. Kuwait was also (probably) an attempt to bait israel into a war which would have involved several other Arab countries and which probably would have brought about the end of Israel as a state. Why? Because Iraq launched scud missiles at israel during the gulf war. Israel was ready to retaliate, but thank God for the US government stepping in and saving them. The participation of israel in a war with Iraq would have meant that arabic coalition countries would have immediately dropped the gulf War, and would have went to war with israel, and Iraq would have likely dropped Kuwait as well.
Why did they invade Kuwait in the first place though? Because Kuwait was doing incredibly shady shit. Iraq had an opportunity to destroy Israel because of Kuwait.
Here's why this all actually makes sense: Saddam was a pragmatist. He was incredibly smart with everything he did. He wanted israel gone. He gave america the excuse to go to war with him, furthermore, he gave israel the excuse to go to war with him too. Such a war would have ended israel as a nation. And Iraq only loses Kuwait, that they occupied to create a war. However, US advisors stepped in and told israel not to retaliate, so nothing happened (nothing ever happens). Why couldn't he have just launched missiles at israel anyways? 0 casus belli and the fact that it would make the US invade Iraq a decade prior.
Nobody on earth outside of israel and America ever expected 9/11 and the subsequent US re-invasion of Iraq. So 2003 is out of this discussion entirely.
