The reality of the Syrian fronts and the paths to end the crisis
The most powerful country in the world planned for this aggression and will continue to lead it; that country aspired one day to sit on the throne of the world in a global system that has one polar and to make the United States the one dominating the world and to make the rest of the countries brutal followers circulating in its strategic vital space, which includes the whole world.

However, Syria is entrenched with its army, its strength, and the awareness of the overwhelming majority of its people and their patriotism, as well as with the wisdom and toughness of its leadership, and the sincerity of its strategic alliances and durability.

Hence, it was able to face the aggression and to manage its war of defense in a scientific and systematic way focusing basically on the necessity of preventing the aggressor from achieving goals in toppling the state and making it a failing competing entity or entities that serve the purposes of the plan and enable it to move securely from the Middle East- the place taken for four previous decades as an operational and strategic theater and its key base to establish a global system- to the Far East, the place seen today as the necessary strategic theatre to protect the U.S. interests.

What we mean when we say the secure move is to move the forces without fearing their influence and their control after they leave, and here comes the intervention of Israel and its role after the American re-positioning, what leads us to saying that the United States wanted to take Syria from its strategic location to ease Israel’s colonial job.

In the context of that defense confrontation, Syria was able, with the minimum possible losses, to evade from many snares and to frustrate a lot of plans, where we can counting fast mention more than 8 plans or scenarios developed by the United States and carried out by local hands or Arab and Islamic ones starting from the trick of the fake civil pretending down to the plans of the direct and public external intervention.

Yet, Syria has been able to contain the risks formed by the strategies of the successive and volatile aggression, and then it moved in recent months to the most important phase in the confrontation; the phase of cleansing and restoring the insecure Syrian areas spoiled by terrorism. It restored them legitimately and brought back official security to them in a gradual and steady pace and with this systematic recovery the Syrian scene became drawn with lines that we can show their main points as follows:

1)    The Western front i.e. the border with Lebanon is now entirety in the grip of the Syrian Arab Army, the collaborator, and the ally forces in a way that dropped the negative role of Lebanon in the Syrian crisis and closed the most dangerous external door in front of Damascus. In fact, having full control over this front, the effective date of the path of ending the crisis seriously and bringing down the aggression began. Yet, what the future will witness of some violations and the emergence of a terrorist cell here or a group there would not change the fact or the reality of what we have mentioned because this will remain under the Syrian control that will prevent its development or advancement.

2)    In the core front or the center front that has the strategic severity of the State i.e. Damascus and its countryside and up to the central region, the defending forces in that front were able to dismantle the front of aggression and to tear it apart and to prevent the mutual backing among its parts what produced cleansing conditions in this front as a whole through one of two paths: The path of confrontation and the field force, or the path of reconciliation and saving souls, and the state has cut a long way in working on these two paths and this would allow us to say that it exceeded the major risks that were posed by those fronts and the rest of the liquidation is only a matter of time in the path that has certain results.

3)    The North front or the front of the border with Turkey. This front was seen as the most dangerous front in Syria and the most complex because of the seam zone with the NATO, which rushed to activate this zone since the first months of the aggression by erecting Patriot batteries and preparing for the direct military intervention under the title defending Turkey. Moreover, the length of this front as well as the length of its logistic supplying lines makes the operations of defending it a very cautious and difficult thing with the hesitant trust in success.

Nevertheless, the force of defense was able to manage its operations in a way that led to declining these risk and containing them down to switching to the offensive action in defense and that front became according to the military logic on the path of the authoritative restore to the confines of the state, especially after the direct Turkish aggression in the area of Kasab has been terminated and the ceil of the Turkish intervention has been drawn in general. This also comes after that the forces of the Syrian Arab Army have escalated its quality operations in Aleppo and its surroundings what could lead us to say that the cleansing of Aleppo, the second capital of Syria and the center of the state’s general economic weight is a matter of time that will need only weeks and will not need a few months.

4)    The Eastern front i.e. the border with Iraq, it has a privacy that is composed of negative faces and positive elements in favor of the state in Syria, and the forces in charge of defending this front were able to deal with these elements in a way that led today to drawing a path that foretells that the terrorist groups will face a split through enmity and infighting as a prelude to the next phase, which is expected to take place on both sides of the border with the help of a military action that would end the danger of those terrorist groups in the region. In any case, from a purely strategic military perspective, we cannot be anxious when considering this front at the general national level, because regaining control over it in a timely manner will not be too difficult or a complicated matter.

5)    The Southern front i.e. the border with Jordan and the occupied Syrian Golan by the Israeli enemy. This front may be today the one preceding the other fronts in terms of the size and depth of the dangers posed on the ground and strategically, especially with the rumors of the intention of Israel to restore the scene of southern Lebanon before the year 2000 and applying it in the region adjacent to the separation zone in the Golan Heights, along the 60 km, and in a depth of 35 kilometers inside the Syrian territory with the establishment of Syrian military working groups that work to implement its orders as the Antoine Army used to do in southern Lebanon.

Given all this, and after monitoring what is happening in the region and with the announcement of the “strategic Zionist-Jihadist alliance” (as they name it), which is in fact an alliance of the Zionist and takfiri terrorists showing the reality of the aggression on Syria as an external act with regional and local tools, it can be said that the project of the Israeli security restraint in Horan is a serious project that is being implemented, apparently.

However, according to a military study and after a precise observation of how Syria would control its defensive fight, we can say something totally different, because Syria has mastered the art of arranging priorities in the field rationally and realistically and did not drawn as the enemy desired when it intervened next to the terrorists in that front, as it did not stop completing what it started in the first three fronts, because if it made a mistake in the calculation it would have been unable to attain achievements on those fronts. Therefore, serenely we say that the ceil of the Israeli action along with the terrorists in the south will remain low and the Syrian force will be able certainly to deal with it paving the way for liquidating and preventing the establishment of any kind of security restrains. This is going to happen on the ground and I am not obliged here to mention other elements that would halt the plan of the Israeli enemy.

Regarding Jordan, it has become clear that a transformation is looming, and this forced Jordan to review a lot of its negative positions on the Syrian crisis and its evident services provided for the aggression in return for sums of money or for abiding by the pressure. It is now facing two options; the first is a fateful option that proved that the future of Jordan as a whole is under a big question mark and thus it will have to take care of its fate more than its desire to collect money and this will inevitably be in favor of the battle that is defending Syria.

Finally, and as a general rule we say that Syria made field achievements, what made it be reassured that it will succeed in its war of defense, and this enables it to move forward in the political process provided for by its Constitution in force without being packed by the screaming of the losers when achieving their aggressive goals. Based upon this we can understand the recent positions of the West in terms of announcing that it is arming the terrorists with sophisticated lethal or non-lethal weapons, re-raising the issue of chemical weapons, or rushing to transfer its remaining ratio of about 8% down to the end of the series of the provocative positions, as a kind of venting the congestion. Their quagmire was represented in their background and their goals were the bombings and the shells of the indiscriminate criminal killings carried out by the terrorists against Damascus and its countryside and other Syrian places that rejected them. Also, those shells did not and will not change the course of the successful defense, yet the West’s positions of intimidation will not affect the process of Syria to end the crisis on the ground and at the political level with a political national solution that is fortified with a military field action that would uproot terrorism from the Syrian territory. In this context comes the Syrian presidential election to constitute a key page in the book to defending Syria.
