Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said that China is closely following developments in Damascus and hopes that all relevant parties will act in the best interests of the Syrian people and quickly find a political solution to restore stability in Syria as soon as possible. Responding to a question on how China views the future of Syria, Mao said that the future and destiny of Syria should be determined by the Syrian people themselves.
The U.S. is concerned about Syria’s chemical weapons program. Israel is bombing Syria’s military bases to make certain that nothing on the Syrian side can now begin attacking as Israel rumbles tanks across the border. Identity politics is being used to cleanse HTS of its terrorist origins & rebrand the group: they’re moderate rebels now; they’re diverse. There’s a Uighur wing of HTS, a Ukrainian wing & an Uzbek wing. Joulani has just announced from the grand mosque of Damascus that HTS wants to liberate Palestine..
Everything’s so evil—we should try to be very good at being evil, ‘kay?
The history of national liberation struggles after WW2 shows how the impoverished masses can only rely on their own strength and not any external power.
Christmas was the day a baby was born who grew up to be a young man, was declined help by his Father, at the most critical moment, crucified by his neighbors, for cursing the local Central Bank.
Christmas is really the Winter Solstice which is scientifically real but got stolen by a fairytale. I celebrate Winter Solstice and my jule tree is the wish for new beginnings. No baby Gods for me but the real sun cycle.
Solstice is Dec. 21/22. Christmas is actually Saturnalia, the birthday of Satan. It was repurposed by the Catholic church. In fact Thanksgiving is the only holiday in the west without occult origins.
What's the point of a multipolar world order, if you then don't let anyone have any own responsibilities?
This current world war seems to be about people who want to be sovereign, against people who want to live in a golden cage (and then realize that the gold is fake).
If Syria would have fallen because of foreigners invading them, with Uighurs as part of them, i would agree that China has a responsibility. But it did fall because the Syrians didn't defend and decided that they "need change". At the end of the day, the Syrians decided to become a terrorist den.
So be it.
If there should be a Syrian faction emerging that is reasonable, it can be supported. With emphasize on support, not on total takeover and using them as proxies.
From a Chinese point of view, China-hating Uighur Jihadists being organised and having a base in Syria should be seen as a threat, at least to Chinese interests in the region if not directly to the Chinese Homeland.
Better all the radicalised Uyghurs hangout in Syria, 3000 miles away from Xinjiang, getting themselves killed for the highest bidder in a Zionist v. The Rest war. Why interfere?
yeah right except for Israel doing a Beirut and Gaza now in Syria. I wish someone would stop them like Simplicius described as always needing to be done. Freezing war doesn't work - Israel needs to be iradicated from the planet. I hope Muslim Brotherhood supplies Gaza with weapons, now that Assad can't anymore
They've already wasted years of expensive Hasbara basement activity through their gory genocide and they will never regain their precious victimhood so that's a start.
Even the ones who openly say that Israel controls the US (China) and then ones who are the main target of jewish aggression (Russia) do not have bad relations with Israel.
They barely even dare to call the war against Gaza a genocide.
The only ones who say the right things and act accordingly against Israel, are Shia muslims. And that is only Iran plus some outposts (one of those just fell).
Yemen is sunni. Its much wider than just Shia - look at all us. But I agree the world is very seriously going in the wrong direction. I'm worried too about that wonderful Romanian politician
but these organizations take a will of their own. Hamas was a part of MB years ago and now its Palestinian Resistance. The wannbe powers that be - you know, the ones that screw little babies - are not so strong I can't imagine what the world will look like, even if all the technology and killer drones are busy everyday - if Israel wants to be in control of the world. Its going to keep them very busy. haha
For a brief moment, the Middle East resembled us; soon enough, we will resemble them.
ZATO has not only sundered the re-unification of the White world,
ZATO's masters have opened our gates to the rekindled Abrahamic Conquest, their messianic vision.
The captured Anglosphere has been resurrecting jihad in earnest since 1979; one could say much longer, back to TE Lawrence of Arabia and the fall of the Ottomans in 1924.
May your words be true, that the new golems they create will drag them away from the lethal mess they are making of the old golems they've already molded.
You've given me a slender reed of hope, a candle against the coming darkness.
Vanessa Beeley reporting from where she had to flee from: "....More than 350 Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian territory in the past hours, and an enemy Israeli occupation of Syrian territory equivalent to twice the size of the Gaza Strip, and their army is less than 40 km away from the capital Damascus...." - https://beeley.substack.com/p/safe-while-syria-burns
Sociopaths inevitably win power struggles, because unlike normies, sociopaths will do whatever it takes to get power.
For the same reason, sociopaths are not so good at building lasting institutions, because they are inherently untrustworthy. To the sociopath, *everything* is a zero-sum no-holds-barred winner-take-all game.
I hate to say it but the CCP dictatorship has done nothing to help Syria. Nor is it doing anything to stop the genocide in Gaza. It just extracts wealth from countries. Beijing cannot be relied on by any country in the global South, the same applies to Russia.
What nonsense. CPC government policy is to not interfere with another countries "internal" politics. If CPC were to send military assistance, the West would say China is an Imperialist Country trying to take over the World. If it doesn't, idiots like you say it's not doing enough. Since CPC can't win, it's far better to just live by results which is to continue to raise the Chinese standard of living. If you've been paying any attention, the CPC has delivered year after year for over 7 decades.
Nasser's secular Ba'ath was the failed Reformation. What rabbi fears most is for Edom and Ishmael to join hands. This is why the Mideast of the '70s with its skirts, wines, and universities was crushed.
The true goal is to erase the Stain of the Heretic from those lands.
Edom, as the rabbis call it. Isa or Esau, as the Muslims do.
There are fewer and fewer Christians left; detritus such as the Palestinians mean nothing, as they will easily be replaced by burgeoning Arab populations. They too are Seeds of Abraham, what lays between Israel and the Arabs is nought but an inheritance fight, like Joseph and his brothers. All you see is an excuse to extinguish Christian culture, as the Abrahamics did to Zoroastrian Persia, Pharoanic Copts, Western Hindus, and Bactrian Chinese.
Soon bud, they are shooting themselves in the foot. Normies are waking up to their spells and tricks. Add some more countries here soon to the ones they have been kicked out of.
Stop bowing to the blood libel of your kith and kin.
Atrocity propaganda is more than projection, it is cover: they falsely accuse us of the very horrors they committed against millions of our people. Indeed, it is but a pale shadow of the horrors they actually performed.
Great rundown from Simplicius. There are a couple of other perspectives that should be considered. The attack on Syria was extraordinarily powerful, sophisticated and well-planned. For a thorough and detailed description of the military methods, weapons and tactics employed and the disposition of Syrian forces, recommend this excellent video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kwFt6z3gaI&t=511s The first 8-9 minutes have a bit of sarcasm and hyperbole, but once he gets into the meat of things it is detailed and edifying. Secondly, for a historical strategic/geo-political perspective, one would do well to listen to this amazing one-hour exegesis by Alastair Crooke on the Chris Hedges Show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgEgHVtRbg4 Even Arabic-speaking Hedges, with his deep knowledge of the Middle East, was visibly taken aback. The actions of Russia and Iran suddenly become explicable. Both videos are well worth your time. Cheers.
A 15 thousand strong bunch of rag tag extremists isn't anywhere near as string & powerful as the video portrays. Did the video mention what happened in the one single area where the SAA confronted them? The extremists withdrew until the message got to the SAA they were to stand down. That isn't any sign of powerful or strong in no one's military terms. It was Western media propaganda that blew up this bunch of no hopers as being some type of incredible freedom fighters. To be honest I actually believe you've fell for it hook line & sinker. The amount of casualties says I'm correct. Or should I say the lack of casualties. As the article by "Russians with atitude" states. 1 single Russian or even Ukrainian battalion could have easily stopped the extremists. This has been echoed since by military experts who aren't the Hollywood type.
How can the U.S. hold one more solemn 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony, mourning the deaths of 3000 people to al Qaeda on that day, when the U.S. has just turned over Syria to the new al-Qaeda?!!?
Twelve days ago, when HTS first started moving, they suddenly had an air force--close air support provided by the U.S. for al Qaeda HTS on the ground in Syria
Joe crowed about it from the Rose Garden lat night: Al Qaeda HTS is the U.S.'s ally in West Asia.
AQ has been a CIA cutout from day 1. The freedom fighting mujahideen in 1980s Afghanistan were publicly embraced, funded and trained. The AQ inspired War on Terror was an excuse to pillage West Asia and introduce draconian laws to suppress domestic opposition.
Exactly. Those Salafis are the best investment the West ever made. Starting from discovering the Wahabism. It is well-documented how the British identified Muhammad Bin 'Abd-al-Wahab and facilitated his meetings with the leaders of the Sa'ud family to further their dubious plans. These plans aimed to strike at the heart of Islam and create divisions among Muslims, which have had lasting repercussions. The strategic manipulation of religious factions has proven to be a powerful tool for the West, serving their interests effectively by destabilizing regions and ensuring control.
No. We 🇺🇸 just bought the survivors and defectors after UBL was dead. BTW - 🇹🇷 isn’t AQ 🤣, HTS is largely Turkmen. The Chechen and Uighur Muslim mercenaries are par for the course.
You’re looking at 🇹🇷 and seeing this 🇺🇸 and that 🇮🇱 when it’s 🇹🇷.
Of course we didn’t get in the way, neither did the Syrian Army, which had moved their best troops to the South even as the Idlib offensive was being publicly discussed in advance.
Bosnians were importing Mujahideen, many armed and trained by the US in AFG, during the Yugoslav war. When NATO and US troops arrived for 'peace keeping' duty, they were told they were on the side of the muslims. Sean Ryan had a recent interview with the Sheriff of Baghdad who relates the twisted irony of that. Manipulating islamic shock troops throughout the region to keep it off balance has been a very effective Bush/Obama/Bibi strategy.
Trump threatened Syria not to attack the terrorists in Idlib. Not sure where I read that. Here? I’ve been reading lots of articles on this and can’t remember where. Nikki Haley wrote an article on the threat.
Not sure how owned the large gray military cargo planes that were observed landing in Sarajevo by Swedish UN troops, but NATO held air control and superiority
What became and what was Al Qaeda helped the US foreign policy and fought as US backed proxies at one point or another in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, and of course Syria, and I'm probably forgetting a few. Why do you think the WTC bombings and 9/11 were the only times Al Qaeda acted "against" the US and conveniently gave it 3000 excuses to pursue it's goals around the globe?
Those who say Russia and Iran gain from this debacle are clutching at straws. Turkey and Israel are the obvious winners though it will take months or years to fully understand who has gained what.
Well Russia and Iran may face some initial humiliation and lose some influence. The USSR never did gain a port in the Mediterranean so Russia losing its refueling and resupply base on the Mediterranean will allow the Russians to focus their resources in Russia and on Russian core interests.
Russia is a land power the Russian navy does well close to the Russian coast. They tend to face failure venturing far from their coast reference "The Battle of Tsushima" in 1905. The mistake that the Russians and Iranians did not make was being drawn into a second front as was desired by the powers that be. Now the Russians have learned a precious lesson at the perfect moment, no freeze, the most maximalist position possible, as a greater victory is at hand and the most humiliating defeat for Russia's true enemies.
Let us all hope this is not a Libya situation in west Asia as that did not turn out well for Libya's neighbors nor for Europe or Turkiye. That situation also will not facilitate the building of pipelines just as it didn't in Afghanistan before. Erdogan has basically hitched Turkiye to the West that doesn't want them and totally separated Turkiye from the rising east that now will not have them. That is if things are as simple as some think they are.
Russia can get Mediterranean ports in Algeria (a long time ally), Egypt (a BRICS member, so friendly enough), Libya (plausible)... No shortage of available ports in the Mediterranean.
When Russia sailed down the first time the Don to present-day Rostov, the intention was to break open the straits into the Mediterranean. All the wars in the 18th and 19th centuries had this objective—ALL!
Sorry, but this is the view of the locals in the Balkans. Look at the peace proposal (San Stefano, the well known articel 24) until GB (peace conference in Berlin) stepped in. For Russia, other than the locals, it was about Konstantinopel. Of course, for Romania this original Plan would have reduced the country to a small, landlocked principality. And Bulgaria would have left as the real local winner, because they should gain even Hadrianopolis, being just around the corner of the Bosporous.
Regardless of your copium, the truth is that Russia was forced into a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. That they decided on the lesser of two evils is no great accomplishment.
Russia will lose reputation by association, but this was worse for Iran. This was more than just the weakening of the IRGC "forward defense against Israel" in Syria and the loss of secure supply routes to Hezbollah (at least for now). Iran lost its only Arab ally, and might in the future be faced with a more united Arab front against the "Persian fire-worshippers". On top of that, Assad's Syria was a good market for Iranian consumer products and Iran's automotive exports, and its loss will be a shrinking of Iran's already pitiful list of trade partners. On the plus side however, Iran would no longer have to send Syria free oil to prop up their miserable energy infrastructure.
Can anyone really not be aware that without Russia and China willing to "go all-in" for it, Iran has only the double option of complete submission to their historical nemesis, or undoing following the wake of all who didn't offer said (full) submission to the nemesis (Libya, Syria, Iraq, ...)?
It appears Iran's "new" leadership, succeeding the murdered previous one, are choosing submission — although they will have to tread slowly and carefully, considering they have to make their society and public opinion come to grips with their choice and turn-around.
If you're alluding to Pezeshkian, then he does not have a say in matters of grand strategy, because in the structure of this Iranian Islamic republic, the office of the president is one of the lower rungs of the deep state (although he may be a way for Khamenei to accept a deal while personally distancing himself from it). But with modern Iranian society having become thoroughly penetrated by liberal consumerist culture, I believe most Iranians would want to choose "submission" over anything else.
Pezeshkian has already learned enough to see the light. He wanted to be more moderate and open to reapproachment, but he was backstabbed almost immediately.
Washington, London, and their allies are not merely fighting to maintain control over West Asia; they are striving to solidify their dominance on the global stage. Their actions demonstrate a willingness to use any means, including support for terrorist organizations, to achieve strategic objectives. [Many would plausibly argue that that’s what they’ve been doing w/ Ukraine against Russia.]. This conflict is yet another clash of empires, where the struggle for influence in West Asia is directly tied to the Anglo-American bid for supremacy.
It’s too early to declare an end to Syria’s turmoil: the experience of Libya illustrates that regime change seldom leads to stability. A similar fate may await Syria, where the ‘success’ of the opposition and its Western backers conceals the looming threat of protracted internal conflicts that could fragment and exhaust the nation. Scott Ritter got hyperbolic & animated on this topic earlier today w/ Judge Nap.
Meanwhile, Turkish proxies combat U.S. Kurdish proxies in eastern Syria. Israel has moved on the Golan Heights, putting itself @ odds w/ HTS. Israel does not have a proxy on the territory of Syria. Israel began bombing Assad’s former military bases after Damascus fell, so as not to let HTS get their hands on the equipment there, which includes Scud missiles.
"willingness to use any means, including support for terrorist organizations"
Terrorism was a British invention. Churchill was the first to target civilian populations with arial bombing campaigns during WWII. Now they use proxies to do their terror work.
Erm, actually, actuallllly, there was that terrible era, I shudder to recall, when the Amish loaded a bomb into their horse-driven buggy, pre-dating Israel's car bomb
"At noon, a horse-drawn wagon passed by lunchtime crowds on Wall Street and stopped across the street from the headquarters of the J.P. Morgan & Co. bank at 23 Wall Street, on the Financial District's busiest corner. Inside the wagon, 100 pounds (45 kg) of dynamite with 500 pounds (230 kg) of heavy, cast-iron sash weights exploded in a timer-set detonation,[4]: 77 sending the weights tearing through the air.[5] The horse and wagon were blasted into small fragments, but the driver was seen by witnesses leaving the vehicle and escaping down a side street."
they didnt stop at "wwii", uk used terror via its relations with the republican army through the 70`s, 80`s and into the 90`s
they used squaddie thugs with northern accents to manipulate and bring violence to the miners strikes, they organised "7/7" with the "jew" parasites
they oversaw a mass blood rite in the lead up to the IX-XI gatekeeper event
churchill was as most know a rampant peadophile, "jew" satanist, drug adict and mass murderer, his ilk would willingly throw millions more of us into the pit to realise their "aims"
We could say may they rot in "hell" but it is "hell" they actively seek through seating the son of perdition on a throne in jerusalem...
Menachem Begin, the sixth Prime Minister of Israel and a prominent figure in the Irgun, a Zionist terrorist organization, described himself as the father of terrorism.
Begin was just being a typical self aggrandizing politician, he wasn't the father of terrorism, not even of the Zionist terrorism in Palestine.
See Avraham Tehomi and Robert Bitker ca. 1936 -1938, they started Irgun's first campaign of terrorist attacks against Palestinian arabs at least 4 years before Begin ever reached Israel.
The first bomb run on civilian (or present day: dual use targets) was by the Italians (1. November 1911). The ideology on bombing civilians was invented by an Italian general (Giulio Douhet, who was still a major when he wrote his ground breaking book).
NOT EVEN CLOSE. Please at least LOOK at world history before hitting "Reply" button?! Start with "Fenian dynamite campaign" (1861 - 1865), then look at anarchists (with and without state backing) nearly every country of Europe AND in North America, from the 1870's right on through Sarajevo in 1914 and on to the Wall Street bombing of 1920. Or just go on repeating the history you never learned?

Recall the act of terrorism which in 1881 spilled the blood of Tsar Alexander II, on which spot the Cathedral on Spilled Blood stands in Saint Petersburg.
Joseph Conrad based his novel "The Secret Agent" around such tactics.
Virginia Woolf centered her novel "Mrs. Dalloway" around a Brit-derived act of terrorism in central London.
Russia isn't an empire though. Ukraine is one more chip to reduce strategic space of Russia and break it up so that it will never be a threat to the empire
I actually said russia isn't an empire. Infact USSR/ Russia are a peaceful country. I worry for china too.If only USSR has bombed Pakistan ( asking help from India also) , for providing sanctuary, and Saudi Arabia for issuing fatwas,to stone age ,things would be different
"Washington, London, and their allies are not merely fighting to maintain control over West Asia; they are striving to 'maintain' their dominance on the global stage. "
Good analysis, as usual. My only quibble is that I think you are being a bit unfair to Joshua Landis. I have found him to be quite knowledgeable about the region (his wife is syrian, iirc), and he is no apologist for the empire either.
In that clip he is just explaining why many people were dissatisfied with Assad, because he was unable to bring about a "peace dividend" after the military victory, as it was percieved by the syrian people, but he is not defending the US narrative.
Elsewhere he has specifically blamed sanctions and the US occupation of Syrias oil producing regions as being the main cause for this. And he is rightfully skeptical about the supposed "moderation" of HTS.
I agree that aside from red-supply routes to Hezbolla, Iran and Russia didn’t lose much, and the biggest impact may be upon other Arab states where the population dreams of heroes instead of venal despots and vassals.
That’s some real pearls of wisdom there from the Russians With Attitude. Those are warnings that best be heeded with utmost care. I have been completely lost since this all got started. Thanks for helping to make sense of it all Simp!!
Yet they never seem to mention the Jew. Why is a chaos riddled Syria with a bunch of 80 iq terrorist retards that can be defeated by 1 brigade of Russian / Ukrainian / white troops more a threat to that illegal Jew state than Assad’s Syria (backed by Iran and Russia )?
that is becuase many still think the "jew" is Human, it is not, it does not have a Soul as We do.
this goes beyond parameters that most can think in
what "isreal" seek is satans elect on earth, folk speak and write about "3rd temple" yet seem somehow unable to complete the sentence, follow it all the way through,
a man who has written much on this can be found here:
I have to say I've been a freeloader to Simplicius for a long time, but the clarity of this analysis in the midst of all the current chaotic viewpoints being expressed was enough for me to say: this is the guy who sees through the fog best of all. Thank you Simplicius. I needed this one.
Some can't afford a subscription, a simple fact; Others can but take a perverse pride form freeloading and it reflects in the rest of their lives. They usually can be identified as an abusive outspokenness that is directly opposed to their intelligence.
I’m (semi)retired and I cannot afford to pile on the monthly subscriptions, but I donate sporadically. I say semi because, like too many people today, I simply can’t afford to be straight up retired.
There are any number of excellent blogs I would love to be able to support. I won’t begin to list them but folks here have a pretty good idea what is shit and what’s shinola.
That said, I will say that Chris Hedges’ yesterday interview of Alastair Crooke on YouTube was exceedingly illuminating and should be seen.
That I live in Russia is one reason I subscribed: I can see by looking around me when traditional media lies about Russia. If they lie about Russia, what else are they lying about? I can also see from my own experience that Simplicius puts truth first.
Years ago, I thought the Wall Street Journal was an exception to the usual US media business model of packaging propaganda as "news," and then I read their coverage of the US/Georgian sneak attack on South Ossetia in 2008. I knew from my own, direct experience of that conflict that virtually every word they wrote was a lie. That's when I realized that the Russophobe streak runs deep in the WSJ editorial board and you couldn't trust anything they wrote about Russia. So why trust them on anything else once you know they will eagerly lie when it suits them?
I started reading Simplicius because I didn't have the time to filter through what the Western world was writing about the US conflict with Russia centered on Ukraine, and I wanted to keep up on what the West was thinking and doing (as a matter of self-protection, if nothing else, since as an American what the US thinks and does has a huge effect on my life). I quickly realized that Simplicius's commentary was worth every penny for that and for much more, since plenty of Russian sources are also sourced.
I don't have the time to go through all that or the time to read many blogs and other sources, so I subscribe to Simplicius to separate wheat from chaff. It's worth every penny. I have to say, I also enjoy the viewpoints expressed in the comments section, where contributors tend to be much higher quality than you see in Western news media comments sections.
You couldn't trust any word they (the WSJ) wrote about any conflict. The first time I walked into a theater of war was the first time I realized the depth of the lies. It was around that same time - 2007. Their 'journalists' are intelligence assets the same as the rest of the media nowadays.
I do comparative reading of various things and distill - when the western propaganda matches what the rest of the world is saying, it's likely true. Where it differs, use Occam's Razor. I only wish I read more languages.
Amen brother! That's the kind of testimony that people can relate to. I'm quite sure that every critical thinker in the West has experienced a crisis brought on by consuming the Kool-Aid. Those that face up to the cognitive dissonance inevitably conclude they can't endure being led by the nose any longer.
Weirdly & inadvertently, HTS may become The Ultimate Proxy for both Iran and Russia as it A] takes up the Palestinian cause and B] confronts Israel over its post-Assad attacks on Syria.
Iran and Russia can sit this chaos out while the out-of-nowhere proxy deals w/ an already much-weakened Israel.
The unintended consequences of sweet & fluffy DEI terrorists uncorked on the region will resonate massively.
HTS = the new Boy Band--and you just know Joulani is the Cute One.
Turkey now has the opportunity to become the de facto leader of a rebranded “Axis of Resistance”. If Erdogan has the foresight, this should be a strategic goal.
Isn't that what Iran would secretly hope for? It would put Turkey and Iran on the same side in this one case and the fight would become a Turkish problem, not Iran's.
That’s nonsensical. The USA invaded Afghanistan. The Jews are bombing all the signing any military bases in Syria right now. And it’s golem the USA is too.
I read Joulani just got videoed riding a Harley?! An MTV interview about Joulani's new solo project is going viral on Tik Tok! His image consultants are working overtime-
You are naive to expect these head chopping jihadis, who are bought and paid for by western intelligence, would dare to attack Israel. The Israelis and Americans would bomb them into extinction if they dared attack Israel.
RU this, RU that
simplistic BS
Says the guy who literally wrote three words.
a base in Oman is better still, but heck why not all three

Nope. Simplicius is the one and only. Oregonian is some other.

So they should come and save you....put out your Christmas list they'll be sure to comply
No more Christmas in Syria
You too put out your list you too can still be saved
The history of national liberation struggles after WW2 shows how the impoverished masses can only rely on their own strength and not any external power.
I'm a Grinch and always say "Fuck Xmas". It is a shitstorm of rampant consumerism and hypocrisy.
I used to think that until my wife got me something I had really been wanting... ;-)
Oh, do tell. You have us in suspense now LOL
What is Christmas?
It's when charming Black and White Asian and mulatto queers and lesbians gather round for The White Company yearly festive catalogue.
You wish dogbreath - it's when you are most unhappy
It 's what just happened in Syria
Christmas was the day a baby was born who grew up to be a young man, was declined help by his Father, at the most critical moment, crucified by his neighbors, for cursing the local Central Bank.
Hard to disagree - anyone, if you want something to do- United Health Care
American Christmas was invented by the Coca-Cola Brown sugary syrup Corporation.

From a Chinese point of view, China-hating Uighur Jihadists being organised and having a base in Syria should be seen as a threat, at least to Chinese interests in the region if not directly to the Chinese Homeland.
Better all the radicalised Uyghurs hangout in Syria, 3000 miles away from Xinjiang, getting themselves killed for the highest bidder in a Zionist v. The Rest war. Why interfere?
yeah right except for Israel doing a Beirut and Gaza now in Syria. I wish someone would stop them like Simplicius described as always needing to be done. Freezing war doesn't work - Israel needs to be iradicated from the planet. I hope Muslim Brotherhood supplies Gaza with weapons, now that Assad can't anymore
The planet is gonna BE Israel soon enough
we just have to keep fighting - whatever that means for each of us.
They've already wasted years of expensive Hasbara basement activity through their gory genocide and they will never regain their precious victimhood so that's a start.
The planet is already Israel.
Even the ones who openly say that Israel controls the US (China) and then ones who are the main target of jewish aggression (Russia) do not have bad relations with Israel.
They barely even dare to call the war against Gaza a genocide.
The only ones who say the right things and act accordingly against Israel, are Shia muslims. And that is only Iran plus some outposts (one of those just fell).
Yemen is sunni. Its much wider than just Shia - look at all us. But I agree the world is very seriously going in the wrong direction. I'm worried too about that wonderful Romanian politician
Isreal is just an Anglo Fort manned by Ashkenazi. People get mixed up about whom works for whom, which is of course the plan.
eradicate, eh? if only it were so simple....
if only.
Muslim Brotherhood is an MI-6 creation (1920's) and thus CIA funded operation. Anglo American Empire has it's hands everywhere...
but these organizations take a will of their own. Hamas was a part of MB years ago and now its Palestinian Resistance. The wannbe powers that be - you know, the ones that screw little babies - are not so strong I can't imagine what the world will look like, even if all the technology and killer drones are busy everyday - if Israel wants to be in control of the world. Its going to keep them very busy. haha
For a brief moment, the Middle East resembled us; soon enough, we will resemble them.
ZATO has not only sundered the re-unification of the White world,
ZATO's masters have opened our gates to the rekindled Abrahamic Conquest, their messianic vision.
The captured Anglosphere has been resurrecting jihad in earnest since 1979; one could say much longer, back to TE Lawrence of Arabia and the fall of the Ottomans in 1924.
May your words be true, that the new golems they create will drag them away from the lethal mess they are making of the old golems they've already molded.
You've given me a slender reed of hope, a candle against the coming darkness.
the Middle East was civilized long before us. They still would be but for the damn interfering England and theirmilitary arm the US
Vanessa Beeley reporting from where she had to flee from: "....More than 350 Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian territory in the past hours, and an enemy Israeli occupation of Syrian territory equivalent to twice the size of the Gaza Strip, and their army is less than 40 km away from the capital Damascus...." - https://beeley.substack.com/p/safe-while-syria-burns
I hear the IDF is closing in on Damascus, within 25 km now? Wouldn't that be a surprise turn of events?
It also seems possible that israel will team with the Americans who control eastern Syria - further consolidation of greater israel?
Antiquity is a smorgasbord now
Eretz Ysrael has gone from a fever dream to a strong probability with this astonishing turnaround. Oct 7 was pretext for them to lay their ambushes.
I can see a consolidated Caliphate, a Sultanate, and an Eretz Empire; then, they will turn their sights to their European colonies.
Sociopaths inevitably win power struggles, because unlike normies, sociopaths will do whatever it takes to get power.
For the same reason, sociopaths are not so good at building lasting institutions, because they are inherently untrustworthy. To the sociopath, *everything* is a zero-sum no-holds-barred winner-take-all game.
Chutzpah- shamelessness- is counted a virtue in that world.
I hate to say it but the CCP dictatorship has done nothing to help Syria. Nor is it doing anything to stop the genocide in Gaza. It just extracts wealth from countries. Beijing cannot be relied on by any country in the global South, the same applies to Russia.
What nonsense. CPC government policy is to not interfere with another countries "internal" politics. If CPC were to send military assistance, the West would say China is an Imperialist Country trying to take over the World. If it doesn't, idiots like you say it's not doing enough. Since CPC can't win, it's far better to just live by results which is to continue to raise the Chinese standard of living. If you've been paying any attention, the CPC has delivered year after year for over 7 decades.
" What nonsense. CPC government policy is to not interfere with another countries "internal" politics. "
How many lobbyists does non interfering China have in Washington ?
The last Socialist Arab Republic falls. The end of an era and sad days indeed.
Nasser's secular Ba'ath was the failed Reformation. What rabbi fears most is for Edom and Ishmael to join hands. This is why the Mideast of the '70s with its skirts, wines, and universities was crushed.
The true goal is to erase the Stain of the Heretic from those lands.
Edom, as the rabbis call it. Isa or Esau, as the Muslims do.
There are fewer and fewer Christians left; detritus such as the Palestinians mean nothing, as they will easily be replaced by burgeoning Arab populations. They too are Seeds of Abraham, what lays between Israel and the Arabs is nought but an inheritance fight, like Joseph and his brothers. All you see is an excuse to extinguish Christian culture, as the Abrahamics did to Zoroastrian Persia, Pharoanic Copts, Western Hindus, and Bactrian Chinese.
The Jew is stealing more territory - when will this problem be solved ?
Soon bud, they are shooting themselves in the foot. Normies are waking up to their spells and tricks. Add some more countries here soon to the ones they have been kicked out of.
Israel is sending troops over the border to get a security buffer - bad? Türkiye sending troops over the border to get a security buffer - good?
German sending troops over the border in 1939 ?
Probably would have gotten away with it if they hadn't gotten greedy and very very evil.
Stop bowing to the blood libel of your kith and kin.
Atrocity propaganda is more than projection, it is cover: they falsely accuse us of the very horrors they committed against millions of our people. Indeed, it is but a pale shadow of the horrors they actually performed.
What would be true justice to all sides is if a Kurdistan were born on Syrian soil.
Great rundown from Simplicius. There are a couple of other perspectives that should be considered. The attack on Syria was extraordinarily powerful, sophisticated and well-planned. For a thorough and detailed description of the military methods, weapons and tactics employed and the disposition of Syrian forces, recommend this excellent video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kwFt6z3gaI&t=511s The first 8-9 minutes have a bit of sarcasm and hyperbole, but once he gets into the meat of things it is detailed and edifying. Secondly, for a historical strategic/geo-political perspective, one would do well to listen to this amazing one-hour exegesis by Alastair Crooke on the Chris Hedges Show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgEgHVtRbg4 Even Arabic-speaking Hedges, with his deep knowledge of the Middle East, was visibly taken aback. The actions of Russia and Iran suddenly become explicable. Both videos are well worth your time. Cheers.
Thanks for the tips, Richard. Will watch those later. AC always dives deeply.
How was the attack ‘powerful’ ? the Syrian army was starved by the JewSA and the Syrian generals were bribed like Iraq.
Believe if you watch the first video you will understand and agree.
What is the tldr ?
Crooke, very good. The last 2 questions cinch up the evening. Hold on cowgirl, rough trail ahead. Another round of “giddy up”; thanks, all.❤️🐴🧲🐈⬛
A 15 thousand strong bunch of rag tag extremists isn't anywhere near as string & powerful as the video portrays. Did the video mention what happened in the one single area where the SAA confronted them? The extremists withdrew until the message got to the SAA they were to stand down. That isn't any sign of powerful or strong in no one's military terms. It was Western media propaganda that blew up this bunch of no hopers as being some type of incredible freedom fighters. To be honest I actually believe you've fell for it hook line & sinker. The amount of casualties says I'm correct. Or should I say the lack of casualties. As the article by "Russians with atitude" states. 1 single Russian or even Ukrainian battalion could have easily stopped the extremists. This has been echoed since by military experts who aren't the Hollywood type.
Agree!
How can the U.S. hold one more solemn 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony, mourning the deaths of 3000 people to al Qaeda on that day, when the U.S. has just turned over Syria to the new al-Qaeda?!!?
Twelve days ago, when HTS first started moving, they suddenly had an air force--close air support provided by the U.S. for al Qaeda HTS on the ground in Syria
Joe crowed about it from the Rose Garden lat night: Al Qaeda HTS is the U.S.'s ally in West Asia.
AQ has been a CIA cutout from day 1. The freedom fighting mujahideen in 1980s Afghanistan were publicly embraced, funded and trained. The AQ inspired War on Terror was an excuse to pillage West Asia and introduce draconian laws to suppress domestic opposition.
Exactly. Those Salafis are the best investment the West ever made. Starting from discovering the Wahabism. It is well-documented how the British identified Muhammad Bin 'Abd-al-Wahab and facilitated his meetings with the leaders of the Sa'ud family to further their dubious plans. These plans aimed to strike at the heart of Islam and create divisions among Muslims, which have had lasting repercussions. The strategic manipulation of religious factions has proven to be a powerful tool for the West, serving their interests effectively by destabilizing regions and ensuring control.
No. We 🇺🇸 just bought the survivors and defectors after UBL was dead. BTW - 🇹🇷 isn’t AQ 🤣, HTS is largely Turkmen. The Chechen and Uighur Muslim mercenaries are par for the course.
You’re looking at 🇹🇷 and seeing this 🇺🇸 and that 🇮🇱 when it’s 🇹🇷.
Of course we didn’t get in the way, neither did the Syrian Army, which had moved their best troops to the South even as the Idlib offensive was being publicly discussed in advance.
But it’s not our problem.
It’s now your 🇷🇺 problem.
Have fun.
Was it really Al Qaeda dancing as the Towers fell?
It was Al Qa'Yid'a
Make sure you jump your shoulders up when you say the second syllable. Bonus points for lifting your eyebrows simultaneously
according to that one mysteriously placed passport found among the blistered cars nearby that could've well been the case. but then, what's in a name
Bosnians were importing Mujahideen, many armed and trained by the US in AFG, during the Yugoslav war. When NATO and US troops arrived for 'peace keeping' duty, they were told they were on the side of the muslims. Sean Ryan had a recent interview with the Sheriff of Baghdad who relates the twisted irony of that. Manipulating islamic shock troops throughout the region to keep it off balance has been a very effective Bush/Obama/Bibi strategy.
Bush/Obama/Bibi
And now Biden/Blinken, who have in one week's time tripled HTS Al Qaeda's holdings in Syria
Trump threatened Syria not to attack the terrorists in Idlib. Not sure where I read that. Here? I’ve been reading lots of articles on this and can’t remember where. Nikki Haley wrote an article on the threat.
Not sure how owned the large gray military cargo planes that were observed landing in Sarajevo by Swedish UN troops, but NATO held air control and superiority
What became and what was Al Qaeda helped the US foreign policy and fought as US backed proxies at one point or another in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, and of course Syria, and I'm probably forgetting a few. Why do you think the WTC bombings and 9/11 were the only times Al Qaeda acted "against" the US and conveniently gave it 3000 excuses to pursue it's goals around the globe?
whos goal? the jew. PNAC
can we then now repeal the post-9/11 Patriot Act, please?
AQ were the patsies of 911
Those who say Russia and Iran gain from this debacle are clutching at straws. Turkey and Israel are the obvious winners though it will take months or years to fully understand who has gained what.
Well Russia and Iran may face some initial humiliation and lose some influence. The USSR never did gain a port in the Mediterranean so Russia losing its refueling and resupply base on the Mediterranean will allow the Russians to focus their resources in Russia and on Russian core interests.
Russia is a land power the Russian navy does well close to the Russian coast. They tend to face failure venturing far from their coast reference "The Battle of Tsushima" in 1905. The mistake that the Russians and Iranians did not make was being drawn into a second front as was desired by the powers that be. Now the Russians have learned a precious lesson at the perfect moment, no freeze, the most maximalist position possible, as a greater victory is at hand and the most humiliating defeat for Russia's true enemies.
Let us all hope this is not a Libya situation in west Asia as that did not turn out well for Libya's neighbors nor for Europe or Turkiye. That situation also will not facilitate the building of pipelines just as it didn't in Afghanistan before. Erdogan has basically hitched Turkiye to the West that doesn't want them and totally separated Turkiye from the rising east that now will not have them. That is if things are as simple as some think they are.
"The mistake that the Russians and Iranians did not make was being drawn into a second front..."
Right. Makes perfect sense, Thanks.
Russia can get Mediterranean ports in Algeria (a long time ally), Egypt (a BRICS member, so friendly enough), Libya (plausible)... No shortage of available ports in the Mediterranean.
You cannot rely on the corrupt dictatorships in these countries.
that`s absolutely true for syria too.
I wouldn't characterize Algeria as a corrupt dictatorship. It's universally better after they got rid of the French.
Nor Egypt, however Egypt is a strange country and sometimes silly things happen there. But, it's a long time friendnof Russia.
When Russia sailed down the first time the Don to present-day Rostov, the intention was to break open the straits into the Mediterranean. All the wars in the 18th and 19th centuries had this objective—ALL!
I dunno, Russia fought wars in Central Asia that had nothing to do with the Med.
as a romanian i can assure you that the 1877 war was fought for different reasons, e.g. getting rid of the turks.
Sorry, but this is the view of the locals in the Balkans. Look at the peace proposal (San Stefano, the well known articel 24) until GB (peace conference in Berlin) stepped in. For Russia, other than the locals, it was about Konstantinopel. Of course, for Romania this original Plan would have reduced the country to a small, landlocked principality. And Bulgaria would have left as the real local winner, because they should gain even Hadrianopolis, being just around the corner of the Bosporous.
locals in the balkans wanted the turks out firstly and not to be under the tsar secondly; i think we got what we wanted.
However, there was a strong panslavic element present too.
Sadly, it almost completely disappeared in the last century.
Removing kebab is a good description for over 500 years of Balkan history.
Regardless of your copium, the truth is that Russia was forced into a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. That they decided on the lesser of two evils is no great accomplishment.
Russia will lose reputation by association, but this was worse for Iran. This was more than just the weakening of the IRGC "forward defense against Israel" in Syria and the loss of secure supply routes to Hezbollah (at least for now). Iran lost its only Arab ally, and might in the future be faced with a more united Arab front against the "Persian fire-worshippers". On top of that, Assad's Syria was a good market for Iranian consumer products and Iran's automotive exports, and its loss will be a shrinking of Iran's already pitiful list of trade partners. On the plus side however, Iran would no longer have to send Syria free oil to prop up their miserable energy infrastructure.
Can anyone really not be aware that without Russia and China willing to "go all-in" for it, Iran has only the double option of complete submission to their historical nemesis, or undoing following the wake of all who didn't offer said (full) submission to the nemesis (Libya, Syria, Iraq, ...)?
It appears Iran's "new" leadership, succeeding the murdered previous one, are choosing submission — although they will have to tread slowly and carefully, considering they have to make their society and public opinion come to grips with their choice and turn-around.
If you're alluding to Pezeshkian, then he does not have a say in matters of grand strategy, because in the structure of this Iranian Islamic republic, the office of the president is one of the lower rungs of the deep state (although he may be a way for Khamenei to accept a deal while personally distancing himself from it). But with modern Iranian society having become thoroughly penetrated by liberal consumerist culture, I believe most Iranians would want to choose "submission" over anything else.
If most of them want it, then surely it is only a matter of time before they get what they want ;).
Pezeshkian has already learned enough to see the light. He wanted to be more moderate and open to reapproachment, but he was backstabbed almost immediately.
He will become like Raisi very soon.
Exactly. Such a view reeks of copium. I suspect many countries in the global South will see it that way and act accordingly.
Washington, London, and their allies are not merely fighting to maintain control over West Asia; they are striving to solidify their dominance on the global stage. Their actions demonstrate a willingness to use any means, including support for terrorist organizations, to achieve strategic objectives. [Many would plausibly argue that that’s what they’ve been doing w/ Ukraine against Russia.]. This conflict is yet another clash of empires, where the struggle for influence in West Asia is directly tied to the Anglo-American bid for supremacy.
It’s too early to declare an end to Syria’s turmoil: the experience of Libya illustrates that regime change seldom leads to stability. A similar fate may await Syria, where the ‘success’ of the opposition and its Western backers conceals the looming threat of protracted internal conflicts that could fragment and exhaust the nation. Scott Ritter got hyperbolic & animated on this topic earlier today w/ Judge Nap.
Meanwhile, Turkish proxies combat U.S. Kurdish proxies in eastern Syria. Israel has moved on the Golan Heights, putting itself @ odds w/ HTS. Israel does not have a proxy on the territory of Syria. Israel began bombing Assad’s former military bases after Damascus fell, so as not to let HTS get their hands on the equipment there, which includes Scud missiles.
Pan-Islamic primacy is on the agenda.
Al Aqsa flood rises
"willingness to use any means, including support for terrorist organizations"
Terrorism was a British invention. Churchill was the first to target civilian populations with arial bombing campaigns during WWII. Now they use proxies to do their terror work.
And Israel invented the car bomb.
Erm, actually, actuallllly, there was that terrible era, I shudder to recall, when the Amish loaded a bomb into their horse-driven buggy, pre-dating Israel's car bomb
@cheetosSpring
Wall Street bombing, September 16, 1920.
----------
"At noon, a horse-drawn wagon passed by lunchtime crowds on Wall Street and stopped across the street from the headquarters of the J.P. Morgan & Co. bank at 23 Wall Street, on the Financial District's busiest corner. Inside the wagon, 100 pounds (45 kg) of dynamite with 500 pounds (230 kg) of heavy, cast-iron sash weights exploded in a timer-set detonation,[4]: 77 sending the weights tearing through the air.[5] The horse and wagon were blasted into small fragments, but the driver was seen by witnesses leaving the vehicle and escaping down a side street."

Of course its a british invention. Here you have some historic background https://irp.fas.org/eprint/iraqi/wahhabi.pdf
Also recall the kind david hotel
um, you mean the place where Lindsay Graham gave that fucked up speech a couple of weeks ago? HMM
they didnt stop at "wwii", uk used terror via its relations with the republican army through the 70`s, 80`s and into the 90`s
they used squaddie thugs with northern accents to manipulate and bring violence to the miners strikes, they organised "7/7" with the "jew" parasites
they oversaw a mass blood rite in the lead up to the IX-XI gatekeeper event
churchill was as most know a rampant peadophile, "jew" satanist, drug adict and mass murderer, his ilk would willingly throw millions more of us into the pit to realise their "aims"
We could say may they rot in "hell" but it is "hell" they actively seek through seating the son of perdition on a throne in jerusalem...
....and other things that never happened.
You need to take less drugs.
You need to open your mind. Drugs may help....
Menachem Begin, the sixth Prime Minister of Israel and a prominent figure in the Irgun, a Zionist terrorist organization, described himself as the father of terrorism.
@Anonymous
Begin was just being a typical self aggrandizing politician, he wasn't the father of terrorism, not even of the Zionist terrorism in Palestine.
See Avraham Tehomi and Robert Bitker ca. 1936 -1938, they started Irgun's first campaign of terrorist attacks against Palestinian arabs at least 4 years before Begin ever reached Israel.
The first bomb run on civilian (or present day: dual use targets) was by the Italians (1. November 1911). The ideology on bombing civilians was invented by an Italian general (Giulio Douhet, who was still a major when he wrote his ground breaking book).

NOT EVEN CLOSE. Please at least LOOK at world history before hitting "Reply" button?! Start with "Fenian dynamite campaign" (1861 - 1865), then look at anarchists (with and without state backing) nearly every country of Europe AND in North America, from the 1870's right on through Sarajevo in 1914 and on to the Wall Street bombing of 1920. Or just go on repeating the history you never learned?

Recall the act of terrorism which in 1881 spilled the blood of Tsar Alexander II, on which spot the Cathedral on Spilled Blood stands in Saint Petersburg.
Joseph Conrad based his novel "The Secret Agent" around such tactics.
Virginia Woolf centered her novel "Mrs. Dalloway" around a Brit-derived act of terrorism in central London.
Russia isn't an empire though. Ukraine is one more chip to reduce strategic space of Russia and break it up so that it will never be a threat to the empire
The Russian leadership is nowhere near decisive or ruthless enough for Russia to be an empire.
I actually said russia isn't an empire. Infact USSR/ Russia are a peaceful country. I worry for china too.If only USSR has bombed Pakistan ( asking help from India also) , for providing sanctuary, and Saudi Arabia for issuing fatwas,to stone age ,things would be different
The US Empire will not simply let Russia be, either.
As far as the US is concerned, you have two and only two choices - submit word, deed and ass, or be crushed.
"Washington, London, and their allies are not merely fighting to maintain control over West Asia; they are striving to 'maintain' their dominance on the global stage. "
There...fixed it for ya.
Good analysis, as usual. My only quibble is that I think you are being a bit unfair to Joshua Landis. I have found him to be quite knowledgeable about the region (his wife is syrian, iirc), and he is no apologist for the empire either.
In that clip he is just explaining why many people were dissatisfied with Assad, because he was unable to bring about a "peace dividend" after the military victory, as it was percieved by the syrian people, but he is not defending the US narrative.
Elsewhere he has specifically blamed sanctions and the US occupation of Syrias oil producing regions as being the main cause for this. And he is rightfully skeptical about the supposed "moderation" of HTS.
Doesn't matter if the perception was fair or not. It got the empire the results it wanted.
I agree that aside from red-supply routes to Hezbolla, Iran and Russia didn’t lose much, and the biggest impact may be upon other Arab states where the population dreams of heroes instead of venal despots and vassals.
But for the U.S. and Israel they excel in times of peace, where money, media, and soft power reign.
No, the effects will be felt around the world.
"Submit to the Empire or this will happen to you!"
That’s some real pearls of wisdom there from the Russians With Attitude. Those are warnings that best be heeded with utmost care. I have been completely lost since this all got started. Thanks for helping to make sense of it all Simp!!
Yet they never seem to mention the Jew. Why is a chaos riddled Syria with a bunch of 80 iq terrorist retards that can be defeated by 1 brigade of Russian / Ukrainian / white troops more a threat to that illegal Jew state than Assad’s Syria (backed by Iran and Russia )?
that is becuase many still think the "jew" is Human, it is not, it does not have a Soul as We do.
this goes beyond parameters that most can think in

I have to say I've been a freeloader to Simplicius for a long time, but the clarity of this analysis in the midst of all the current chaotic viewpoints being expressed was enough for me to say: this is the guy who sees through the fog best of all. Thank you Simplicius. I needed this one.
Well said.
Now I need not comment. Thanks.
Never too late to take a paid subscription. Just sayin'... I'm in Russia and manage to do it.
Some can't afford a subscription, a simple fact; Others can but take a perverse pride form freeloading and it reflects in the rest of their lives. They usually can be identified as an abusive outspokenness that is directly opposed to their intelligence.
I’m (semi)retired and I cannot afford to pile on the monthly subscriptions, but I donate sporadically. I say semi because, like too many people today, I simply can’t afford to be straight up retired.
There are any number of excellent blogs I would love to be able to support. I won’t begin to list them but folks here have a pretty good idea what is shit and what’s shinola.
That said, I will say that Chris Hedges’ yesterday interview of Alastair Crooke on YouTube was exceedingly illuminating and should be seen.
That I live in Russia is one reason I subscribed: I can see by looking around me when traditional media lies about Russia. If they lie about Russia, what else are they lying about? I can also see from my own experience that Simplicius puts truth first.
Years ago, I thought the Wall Street Journal was an exception to the usual US media business model of packaging propaganda as "news," and then I read their coverage of the US/Georgian sneak attack on South Ossetia in 2008. I knew from my own, direct experience of that conflict that virtually every word they wrote was a lie. That's when I realized that the Russophobe streak runs deep in the WSJ editorial board and you couldn't trust anything they wrote about Russia. So why trust them on anything else once you know they will eagerly lie when it suits them?
I started reading Simplicius because I didn't have the time to filter through what the Western world was writing about the US conflict with Russia centered on Ukraine, and I wanted to keep up on what the West was thinking and doing (as a matter of self-protection, if nothing else, since as an American what the US thinks and does has a huge effect on my life). I quickly realized that Simplicius's commentary was worth every penny for that and for much more, since plenty of Russian sources are also sourced.
I don't have the time to go through all that or the time to read many blogs and other sources, so I subscribe to Simplicius to separate wheat from chaff. It's worth every penny. I have to say, I also enjoy the viewpoints expressed in the comments section, where contributors tend to be much higher quality than you see in Western news media comments sections.
You couldn't trust any word they (the WSJ) wrote about any conflict. The first time I walked into a theater of war was the first time I realized the depth of the lies. It was around that same time - 2007. Their 'journalists' are intelligence assets the same as the rest of the media nowadays.
I do comparative reading of various things and distill - when the western propaganda matches what the rest of the world is saying, it's likely true. Where it differs, use Occam's Razor. I only wish I read more languages.
Amen brother! That's the kind of testimony that people can relate to. I'm quite sure that every critical thinker in the West has experienced a crisis brought on by consuming the Kool-Aid. Those that face up to the cognitive dissonance inevitably conclude they can't endure being led by the nose any longer.
I agree, so glad I signed up.
Weirdly & inadvertently, HTS may become The Ultimate Proxy for both Iran and Russia as it A] takes up the Palestinian cause and B] confronts Israel over its post-Assad attacks on Syria.
Iran and Russia can sit this chaos out while the out-of-nowhere proxy deals w/ an already much-weakened Israel.
The unintended consequences of sweet & fluffy DEI terrorists uncorked on the region will resonate massively.
HTS = the new Boy Band--and you just know Joulani is the Cute One.
Exactly....never interrupt your enemy....
How exactly will these terrorist retards in pickup trucks be a threat to that illegal new state which already took significant Syrian territory?
Do you really have to ask that? Afghanistan anyone?
It's difficult to compare Afghanistan with Syria, though both have been devastated by Usuk.
Hamas supporting HTS is a good sign.
Turkey now has the opportunity to become the de facto leader of a rebranded “Axis of Resistance”. If Erdogan has the foresight, this should be a strategic goal.
While he supplies fuel to that illegal Jew state ?
Isn't that what Iran would secretly hope for? It would put Turkey and Iran on the same side in this one case and the fight would become a Turkish problem, not Iran's.
That’s nonsensical. The USA invaded Afghanistan. The Jews are bombing all the signing any military bases in Syria right now. And it’s golem the USA is too.
These terrorist retards are already kissing up to the new state. Same as azov. Joulani and zelensky. Same Jew shite just different assholes.
@cheetosSpring
I read Joulani just got videoed riding a Harley?! An MTV interview about Joulani's new solo project is going viral on Tik Tok! His image consultants are working overtime-
You are naive to expect these head chopping jihadis, who are bought and paid for by western intelligence, would dare to attack Israel. The Israelis and Americans would bomb them into extinction if they dared attack Israel.
