especially in western Syria, and we just don't know it?
What if the number of rebels has dropped so low (due to deaths, desertions, and a lack of new recruits) that the rebels in western Syria are no longer a viable fighting force and the rebels in northern Syria and east of the Euphrates are either only holding their positions or attacking each other or Kurdish forces?
I've been researching this for the past week, especially the past four days, and will probably write about it in the next two or three days.
There are indications that this might be happening and I'm trying to clarify and confirm them.
