Russia will not be able to stop the rebels in Syria — Trump
Trump said opposition fighters in Syria have completely captured numerous cities in a well-coordinated offensive and are now on the outskirts of Damascus, apparently preparing to take a very big step toward ousting Assad.
Russia, which is so tied up in Ukraine and has lost over 600,000 soldiers there, seems unable to stop this literal march through Syria, a country it has protected for years.

He emphasized that Russia has never benefited much from Syria and stated that the US should not interfere in this conflict.
Syria is a mess, but it is not our friend and the United States should have nothing to do with it. This is not our war. Let it unfold. Do not interfere!
