> The poor performance of the #SyrianArabArmy troops at Aleppo shows.. that for foreign patrons to stand up a friendly government and back a client army can produce a #PotemkinVillage, a facade with no reality.. which easily falls to pieces . This.. disintegration afflicted the #IraqiNationalArmy built by George W. Bush, the #AfghanistanNationalArmy built by Bush, Obama and Trump, and now the Syrian Arab Army stood up by Vladimir Putin and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.
