Reports indicate that Russian forces have dismantled air defense radars and moved over 100 trucks of equipment to the port. No ships are currently docked to facilitate the evacuation, leaving personnel and equipment stranded.

Without clearance from the new Syrian government, the evacuation of Russia's military assets from Tartus has stalled, according to Maritime Executive.

Interesting. I'm admittedly not well read on the Syrian situation or the new regime there. Do we think they will leverage this to let Russia evacuate their equipment for a price, or continue to block them to appeal to the west?

Appeal to the west? Russia is who propped up Assad that's where he is now the West isn't as deep in this one
