☝️ Kevork makes an excellent point I made many times: the current leadership of the Resistance is not ruthless enough. The Anglo-Zionists are not being matched in cruelty. It is only such commensurate power and responses that deter. This includes Russia btw. I foresee both Axes of Resistance will lose this round; either through internal betrayal or decapitation, etc. It is the next set of men who will draw the lesson and finish the job. By continuing to play by “Rules-based Order” rules – the current elites have brought on themselves annihilation. The survivors will never again quibble with such niceties whilst facing Legion

≈≈≈≈≈

The Turk elites are as messianic as the European and Anglo elites. Dont confuse with the majority of their population. The Turk Republic was formed along masonic lines a hundred years.. explicitly joining the western satanists. The coup that ended the Ottomans was brainstormed in the City. The Muslim Brotherhood faction in control now, is merely another flip side of the eternal duality – like Red/Blue in USA. The MB was reformed by the British Intelligence along Jesuit lines. They are all remote controlled from a central base somewhere…

All the heads of the Hydra/Legion — whether Turks, Zion, western Europe, Anglos, Japan/SK, PetroSheikhs, etc — all rolled the dice. The issue transcends Erdogan. He actually may be a moderation voice, per the Greek Orthodox, who foretold he would be the levee before the Apocalypse.

Interestingly, the Anglos anticipated his coming betrayal of the region, multipolarity, and most of his own people, who will now be thrust into a civil war.. The seminal predictive programming of the satanists is “iPet Goat II”. In it Osama Bin Laden (representing Erdogan’s Muslim Brotherhood, and the Hordes now unleashed onto Syria) and his soldiers are seen as part of Legion working for the Moshiach. Constantinople is also seen as locus of war, and a mushroom cloud just beyond the horizon, where 404 would be..

The activation of Turkey was long planned by both sides. This is why both Iran and Russia have largely stayed out of the wars, keeping their powders dry, even within 404. They’ve let the militias slowly attrit Zion, or minimal forces within Novorossiya, waiting for the main course to be served, involving massive state armies. The hell to come will make the last three years look like a walk in the park

⭕ — 🇸🇾/ 🇸🇾 NEW: The Syrian Arab Army has regained control of the strategic town of Khanaser, southern Aleppo countryside
⭕ — 🇮🇶 🇮🇶 NOTE: Regarding the news of Iraqi PMF fighters arriving at the front, I have contacted one of my sources in Al Bukamal.

As you know, the PMF consists of many different Shiite militias, which all operate under the same umbrella organization, the PMF, within the Iraqi Armed Forces, when it comes to national defense. However, these militias all have different leaders, goals, command structures, and ideologies.

My source says that two or three factions from within the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces have taken the individual and independent decision to join the fight against HTS terrorists in Syria. It is not a large amount, a few hundred fighters for now.

This is carried out without supervision from the PMF’s authorities, that’s why the spokesman denied that there is any official PMF deployment to Syria: Any deployment of PMF forces to Syria is an independent decision by the individual factions, which is not within the framework of PMF operations.
[LOL. The USUK shouldn’t have invented the concept of “plausible deniability” being so cheekily abused. Wait, the plagiarizers got it from the civilizational-states or the Fertile Crescent!]
⭕️ — 🇸🇾/ 🇸🇾 NEW: HTS terrorists have captured the town of Soran, north of Hama, from the Syrian Arab Army

The battle in Hama Governorate has now reached a point where towns and cities exchange hands daily, neither the SAA nor HTS seems to be able to hold onto their gains for very long, although HTS is still in a quite strong position along the front.

HTS captured Suran two days ago, then the SAA claimed to have recaptured it, and now HTS controls it again. Overall, the situation North of Hama is still difficult.
⭕️ — 🇸🇾/🇮🇶/ 🇮🇶 NEW: According to Syrian sources, Iraqi Shia volunteers of the Popular Mobilization Forces have arrived at the front, and will fight within the structure of the SAA’s 25th Special Mission Forces Division, also known as the ‘Tiger Forces’, led by General Suhail al-Hassan
⭕ US-backed Arab tribal forces within the SDF have officially launched an assault on a cluster of SAA-controlled towns East of the Euphrates River near Deir Ezzor

The assault is being carried out under direct cover of U.S. artillery from the nearby American bases in Conoco oil field and Al-Omar oil field, as well as possibly airstrikes.

⭕ It seems the Syrian government has been duped by the Kurds again.

Damascus has opted for an alliance of circumstances with the Kurds (they are their compatriots after all…😂😂😂) and opposing the Great Turk. As a result, the Sultan opened the floodgates on Aleppo and the Kurds stabbed the loyalists in the back by facilitating the takeover of territories by the Idlib fanatics via agreements and facilitated passage.
On the Turkish side, it’s presented as an offensive against the Kurds, and more specifically against Kurdish access to the Mediterranean coast, while on the Kurdish side, it’s the usual muddle, ranging from the war against the evil Bashar to the age-old struggle against the Turks. Damascus has forgotten a very famous adage about the Kurds that the British, also victims of their treachery (the last straw for perfidious Albion!), learned by heart.

💬 “Many of these representatives [from African countries and Latin America] say that the West is now promoting the idea of so-called ‘climate colonialism.’ That is, imposing such technologies on these countries, expensive technologies [in the field of reducing greenhouse gas emissions], which they cannot afford, without helping them. It also includes imposing some things that aren’t particularly necessary for implementation of these technologies,” Putin said.

⭕ Unraveling Syria’s chaotic conflict: Shedding light on who’s fighting whom

Militants from the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham* terrorist group have broken the de-escalation agreement in Syria, subsequently joining forces with militants from the so-called “Syrian National Army.” Their actions are directed not only against the government’s armed forces but also against the Kurds, particularly in the provinces of Aleppo and Hama.

Who’s fighting whom in Syria?

◾️ Syrian state forces [Syrian Arab Army (SAA)]: The government’s army, commonly referred to as “Assad’s Army”, controls the bulk of Syrian territory. A limited contingent of Russian forces is stationed in Syria, providing assistance to Assad’s military in its fight against militant groups. The Russian Aerospace Forces are conducting airstrikes on warehouses, artillery positions, and other terrorist targets in the provinces of Aleppo, Idlib, and Hama. Additionally, the Syrian army receives support from military advisers from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) present in the country. Reports from local media indicate that Iraqi units have also moved to the Syrian border to bolster the fight against terrorism.

◾️ The Syrian Democratic Forces [SDF] (Kurds): Predominately a Kurdish military group, which controls large swathes of northeastern Syria, namely, the provinces of Hasakah, Raqqah and Deir al-Zor. The Syrian Democratic Forces are actively engaged in combat against jihadi militants in Syria, while maintaining a truce with government forces. However, true reconciliation with Damascus remains elusive, as the Kurdish militias receive support from the United States.

◾️ The Syrian National Army [SNA]: Previously known as the Syrian Free Army, the SNA primarily operates in the areas of Aleppo province not controlled by the Syrian government. This group traditionally enjoys support from Washington, with its members receiving training at the US military base in Al-Tanf, set up in Syria without legal authorization. Although the SNA claims to have backing from Turkiye, Ankara officially denies any connections with these Syrian militants.

◾️ Hayat Tahrir al-Sham [HTS]*: Formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra*, is a jihadist group that originated as a branch of Al-Qaeda* in Syria. In 2017, Western nations attempted to rebrand the group as a “moderate opposition” following claims that it had severed ties with ISIS. Notably, both NATO countries and Ukraine have maintained close connections with this jihadi organization, as revealed by Sputnik. Additionally, there are former members of Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham* in the Ukrainian International Legion who are obtaining Ukrainian citizenship, as previously reported by Sputnik.

◾️ ISIS*. Despite the defeat of the terror group in Syria in 2019, some holdout factions continue to operate in remote areas of the country that remain outside the control of Bashar Assad’s government. These jihadists are effectively battling against all parties. Notably, they have yet to engage in clashes with the jihadists from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham*. In the ongoing escalation, ISIS* militants are involved in sporadic attacks on the government forces.

*Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Jabhat al-Nusra are terrorist organizations outlawed in Russia.

⭕ “The US State Department says it wants to see a reduction in Iran’s relations with Syria

This comment, which was accompanied by their confirmation that there are no changes in their policies towards the Syrian President, confirms that the attack by armed groups from Idlib a few days ago is a pre-planned American operation targeting the Axis of Resistance, and is complementary to the Israeli war on Lebanon

Thus, Iran and Syria, having the same perspective as Russia, are treating it as an American attack”

⭕ ▪️ Joint Russian-Syrian warplanes launch successive airstrikes on the convoys of terrorist groups fleeing from the northern Hama countryside to the Idlib countryside

▪️Violent clashes between Al-Nusra mercenaries and the SDF militia in the town of Menag (north of Aleppo) after a group of the SDF militia emerged from inside tunnels in the town and killed a large number of the other side

⭕ ⚫️Rule #1: never trust a Kurd

▪️ Syria: Al-Mayadeen sources: The Syrian army and allied forces repelled an attack by the “SDF” militia on the seven villages north of Deir Ezzor and forced them to withdraw

SDF paved the way with a number of rockets and missiles, causing material losses to the residents’ properties

▪️ The attack was carried out with American cover [bombing] and was thwarted by the Syrian Army, allied forces and locals (clans) who participated in repelling the “Qasd” (SDF) attack

▪️ The Americans’ goal in supporting the “SDF” attack is to stop the resistance factions’ attacks on the “Coneco” base/gas field due to the proximity of these villages to the base

⚫️Meanwhile in the North:

▪️ Disagreements between the “HTS” (Al-Nusra) operations room and the “Syrian National Army” (FSA) operations room over control positions in Aleppo and its countryside. HTS demanded that the SNA factions evacuate the sites they had taken control of north of Aleppo

▪️ Continuous airstrikes against the Idlib terrorists, one of which destroyed an HTS command base in the southern countryside
[Kurds are complicated and have been so for millennia. They chased the Greeks during their hegemonic period off their mountains and highlands, and most since. Kinda like a Yemeni without coffee or khat in his system, or a fast-burning Pashtun (not waiting 20 years for a revenge). But there are seriously good factions. The current Admiral in charge of the Iranian Navy is one, and others in Turkey, Syria, Iran. The most troublesome factions are in northern Iraq.]

🔻 WS: You are ignorant of the facts.

US arming and training of the Ukrainian military (particularly the Banderite brigades) began during the Obama administration, and was accelerated in earnest during the first Trump term — as a result of which the Russians began to prepare for war.
🔻 C3: He was supposed to start WWIII last time.

Recycle and reuse.
🔻 WS: He DID start WW3, by arming and training the Armed Forces of Ukraine to inflict a strategic defeat upon Russia. Of course, that didn’t work out as they had planned.
🔻 C3: I think you’re exaggerating the amount of help Trump provided the Ukrainians.

If he did start WWIII as you claim now then you don’t need to wait on the blunder you refer to.
🔻 WS: No exaggeration at all. US/NATO arming and training of the Ukrainian military was greatly accelerated during the Trump administration, with the primary focus being preparations to attack the Donbass and Crimea — and to evict the Russians and base US naval forces in Sevastopol
🔻 C3: iirc Obama only gave them defensive aid.

Trump did not give them any heavy weapons that would be helpful in assault operations.
If I’m wrong then show me.

Ukraine had the second largest land army in Europe. Only Russia was larger.
🔻 WS: “defensive aid” is a misnomer, and any serious analyst understands that.

In any case, the Ukrainians had plenty of heavy weapons. The AFU was, by far, the largest army in Europe. Armor, artillery, mortars, mines, the best air defenses in Europe (by far!), a formidable air force, etc.

They were provided with and trained on: ATGMs, drones, battlefield communications, and most importantly, interacting with US/NATO ISR platforms.

And, in anticipation of eventual need, training had begun on heavier US/NATO equipment: M-777 (and other NATO towed and self-propelled artillery), HIMARS, HARMS, JDAMS, etc.

Many tens of thousands Ukrainian soldiers were cycled through NATO training programs during the Trump era.

And, of course, the chain of command from the AFU to its US/NATO handlers was established and refined
🔻 C5: Well, Obama still holds the world record for most innocent people bombed to death by a Nobel peace prize winner.
🔻 C6: hard for trump to do worse than biden in ukraine and gaza.
🔻 WS: Biden took the baton from Trump who had taken it from Obama.

Now, for the anchor leg of the race, we get to see where a second Trump administration will lead.

Just remember … Trump is a sworn disciple of the #EmpireAtAllCosts cult. He will act accordingly.
🔻 C7: Moron
🔻 WS: Everyone knows Trump is a “stable genius”. Just ask him.
🔻 C7: So you think, that if there are still American hostages in Gaza on January 20th, Trump will do nothing?
🔻 WS: What I think is that he has two choices:

1) Do nothing.

2) Do something stupid.
[and the System will not permit inaction! So that leaves one and only one choice]
🔻 C7: He will definitely do something. Maybe like how he took out Soleimani. Minimal collateral damage, significant message. You should give Trump and his new team some opportunity to impress.
🔻 WS: Who are they gonna blow up now that will bring about the release of the Gaza hostages?

I don’t believe you’ve thought this through very thoroughly.
🔻 C8: Stable …. as in a genius among horse asses?
🔻 C9: This is how you deal with terrorists. You give them a warning and then you execute.
[this is why every country needs a citizen’s army. They will see the world differently, and purely on defensive terms. Unless they come from a deranged western society]
🔻 WS: One man’s “terrorist” is another man’s “freedom fighter”.

In any case, the US military has spent 60+ years losing wars to irregular forces in multiple countries spanning the globe.
🔻 C9: The US also funded such irregular forces before they turned on the US. There are no good terrorists and bad terrorists. Freedom fighters never cross certain lines. As Buffet likes to say “can’t make a good deal with a bad person”, but the US keeps trying despite losing 100% of the time…

⭕ 🇵🇸 The Palestinian Resistance Forces Alliance:
—
The Central Command of the Palestinian Resistance Forces Alliance confirmed that the aggression carried out by terrorist organizations on the provinces of Aleppo and Hama is part of a American-“israeli”-Turkish scheme, falling within the framework of the aggressive war being waged against the forces and states of the Axis of Resistance.

The Central Command considered this terrorist aggression to be part of the criminal war being launched by the zionist entity against Palestine and Lebanon, following its failure to achieve its objectives in both. It emphasized that this aggression, backed by the Turkish regime, the U.S. administration, and the zionist entity, constitutes a violation of Syria’s national sovereignty. It described this as a reckless and miscalculated step by these terrorist organizations and their sponsors, who will fail to achieve their objectives in Syria, just as they have failed in Palestine and Lebanon.

The statement expressed the solidarity of the Palestinian Resistance Forces Alliance with Syria, which has thwarted the “New Middle East” plan since 2011. It highlighted that the Syrian people, who have withstood all hostile attempts over the past 13 years, will not be broken by the forces involved in the war against them regionally and internationally. Furthermore, it affirmed that Syria, with its people, army, and courageous leadership, will defeat this new aggression.

Note: The Palestinian Resistance Forces Alliance is a Damascus-based coalition of Palestinian factions. It includes Hamas, PIJ, PFLP-GC, Fatah Al-Intifada, PPSF, Al-Sa’iqa, PLF, and the Revolutionary Palestinian Communist Party.

⭕ — 🇮🇷 The past few weeks, most Iranian officials I talk to in private, are no longer strictly denying the possibility of developing nuclear weapons in the near future.

One year ago, this was very different, almost no Iranian politician was in favor of going nuclear, and they would often cite Imam Khamenei’s Fatwa regarding the ban on nuclear weapons, which was made during the negotiations of the JCPOA and in context of Iran seeking closer relations with the West.

But now, the topic of nuclear weapons almost seems like an ‘unspoken word’ that everyone agrees upon, while no one straight up says it.

Even the more liberal ones seem to agree that going nuclear will be necessary, at least at some point in the future. But Iran’s majority conservative Majlis (parliament) is shifting rapidly in favor of nuclear proliferation even in the short term.

🇸🇾🇺🇸🇹🇷 Given the recent news about the arrival in Syria of the well-known IRGC general Seyyed Javad and the Iraqi paramilitary formations “Hashd al-Shaabi”, it becomes clear why the US aviation has intensified its activity over Syria and Iraq.

Over the past two days, at least three MQ-9A Reapers from the Es-Salem air base in Kuwait and one RC-135 have been circling over Iraqi territory. Over Syria (in the areas of At-Tanf, Deir ez-Zor and Hasakah), there are seven MQ-9A drones.

They were apparently tracking the activities of Iranian units and Iraqi militia. However, information about strikes against them has not been confirmed, although A-10 attack aircraft did fly missions.

The US aviation was also actively operating along the Syrian coast: several Reapers, MQ-4Cs and P-8A Poseidons. Given the ceasefire in Lebanon, it is clear what purpose they are serving now.

The only question is, whose interests are they serving?

Additionally, the Novorossiysk submarine launched a Kalibr cruise missile, while the Bastion missile system fired an Oniks missile from a coastal area.

Those Javelins were the extent of “lethal aid” provided by Trump , iirc.

Training isn’t weapons.
Feels like you’re slowly walking back your exaggerated claims because you know you’re wrong.
🔻 WS: I made no exaggerated claims.

The provision of top-shelf western comms equipment, counter-battery radars, drones, ECM equipment, upgrading of older Soviet PGMs of all types, and the training and integration of the AFU to work seamlessly with US/NATO ISR — these are arguably the most valuable elements of military aid Ukraine has received over the entire course of this war.

Furthermore, all the planning and staging of the heavy US/NATO weapons systems provided (beginning in late spring 2022) — that preparation dates well back into the first Trump administration.

The argument that this was “Biden’s War” is utter nonsense. It obfuscates the undeniable fact that the conception of the Ukraine War dates back at least to Bush I, and then the plan to build #TheMotherOfAllProxyArmies was expanded and refined over the course of every subsequent US administration to the current day.
[we can argue to the first Crusades! The same Antagonists of All have targeted both Russia and the Holy Land ever since, and on behalf of the same Muse]

The war began in 2014. But the Russians did not then feel prepared to fight the US/NATO if it came to that. Still, they managed to secure and annex Crimea, help the Donbass hang on, and began to prepare for the bigger war that they knew was inevitable.

They weren’t fully ready in 2021, either. But when it became apparent that the AFU was preparing to make a big play for the Donbass in 2022, the Russian hand was forced.

Now, here in the waning days of 2024:

– #TheMotherOfAllProxyArmies is in its death throes;

– European NATO military potential has been eviscerated;

– US military potential has been exposed as the myth many of us have long known it to be;

– western weaponry has been exposed as inferior to its Russian counterparts in virtually every category;

– western war production capacity has been exposed as the Potemkin mirage it has long-since become.

The Russians are outproducing the entire collective west by several multiples, and the gap has widened every year of the war.

And although relatively few prominent analysts are willing to admit it, the fact remains that the Russian military is now the single most potent and battle-hardened fighting force on the planet.

The Russians will dictate the terms of surrender in this war because their strength affords them that privilege, and there is nothing the US and its impotent European vassals can do to alter that reality.

That said, a decisive strategic defeat is going to be a very bitter pill to swallow for this second Trump administration. Hopefully they won’t opt to set the world on fire in a fit of humiliated madness.

⭕ 🇷🇺”The doctors said I had about five years to live. I thought I could at least be of some use at the SMO.”

A soldier with the call sign Salomon drew a mortar towards himself saving his fellow soldiers in the DPR.

Alexey Svistunov told RT that he was diagnosed with a “brain stem tumor.” He deliberately hid the disease in order to get into the SMO. He completed training and a course in tactical medicine, and became a medic. Then he ended up in the Artemovsk direction: “I asked to go where it was hot.”

In January 2023, Alexey received his first assignment – to evacuate a wounded man from a forest belt:

“The Ukrainians let us in there. They expected that we would go back the same way, and then they would destroy us. Our commander, call sign Koshel, foresaw this. We decided to leave from the other side – through a minefield. I asked him to teach us how to walk through a minefield correctly. He said: “It’s fate.” So we followed him step by step through the snow.”

At the end of March 2023, Salomon and his group moved to the village to pick up a soldier wounded in the neck. They were constantly being shelled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Then Salomon ran with a stretcher so that the mortar men would switch to him:

“I heard the mortar coming out of the barrel. I knew that eight seconds would pass before it landed, so I ran in zigzags. There was an excavator on the street, and at the sixth second I crawled under it. Then a drone hovered above me. The second mortar started working. It was impossible to escape from the two. I realized that I would definitely return home. I just didn’t know: dead or just wounded.”

A mine fragment tore off Alexey’s leg. He managed to report it on the radio and lost consciousness. His commander saved him.

After returning from the special operation, the man’s condition improved. Doctors who predicted his death from the tumor cannot explain why – they say it is probably due to the production of adrenaline.

In civilian life Alexey is raising his daughters and has created a volleyball team of seriously wounded SMO fighters: “I want to thank the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation. It provides opportunities, and then the person decides for himself how to use them.”

💠 @Middle East Spectator:
⭕ — 🇸🇾 Many people have asked for my opinion about Syria, so here’s my take:

I don’t necessarily love Assad, mostly due to him being a secular. However, I don’t really dislike him either, because I don’t believe in all the Western-backed propaganda about him. He’s also quite socially conservative despite being a secular, which I respect, and he is a supporter of the Palestinian cause and the Resistance Axis, which is a major plus.

Regarding the rest, I’ll keep this very simple:

Syria’s stability is necessary for the security of the region. It is also necessary for the continued flow of Iranian weapons to Hezbollah. If Hezbollah is weakened, Israel’s focus will shift to Iran, and the entire Resistance Axis will be at risk.

Additionally, Syria also currently poses a strategic threat to Israel, because Assad is openly hostile towards it. It acts as a sort of ‘buffer zone’ between Israel and other regional nations. It’s the first line of defense.

If the current Syrian government collapses, there will be major internal chaos and struggles between the various opposition groups, to an extent never seen before, which will jeopardize one of the most strategically and geopolitically important countries in the Middle East. Syria will be extremely unstable, and it will be a breeding ground for terrorism, even more than in 2014/15. There would probably be a resurgence of ISIS, or worse.

In the unlikely event that one of the warring opposition factions does eventually win and establish a nationwide government, it will likely be more pro-West, more liberal, and by extension more friendly towards Israel. This ‘new Syria’ would likely not freely allow the flow of Iranian arms into Lebanon, nor would it act as a buffer zone against Israel. And if we get unlucky, it will be openly pro-West and it might even establish relations with Israel. A major new enemy will exist in our region.

Long story short, we need a strong and stable Syria, and as of now, Assad is our only real option. That is why I will always support the SAA. Besides, Syria was one of the only countries to help Iran during the war against Iraq, and we do not forget old friends.

⭕ The most contemptible aspect of this (xcancel.com/MyLordBebo/status/1864…) isn’t so much that Blinken pressures Ukraine into sacrificing its youth by tying aid to mobilization but that he does so without the first sign of a vision for a clear and achievable peace.

I read the entirety of his press conference (available here: state.gov/secretary-antony-j…) and he doesn’t even begin to articulate conditions or pathways to end the conflict. He doesn’t address the implications of lowering the mobilization age or provide context for why such measures might be necessary, he just calls it a “hard but necessary decision”.

All he focuses on in his speech are tactical priorities: money, munitions, and mobilization.

Which means that the reason is war for war’s sake, just senseless loss of life. Or more precisely, it’s senseless for the Ukrainians (and the Russians) but probably not for the U.S.: to quote Senator Lindsey Graham “this is a great deal for America” (youtube.com/watch?v=OGOVevGH…)

It cannot but remain absolutely astonished that this is all possible, in Europe, in this day and age and that almost no-one calls out the sheer insanity at play here. Heck, European leaders themselves are the most enthusiastic for this mad endless conflict on their own continent, mobilizing youth as an end in itself without a peace plan…

⭕ The situation in “useful” Syria is untenable except in the event of massive military intervention by Iran. This eventuality seems difficult, as Iranian forces will be the target of air strikes by the Empire and its allies.

The remaining Syrian army is woefully inadequate to hold the pivotal zone of Homs, the central lock of “useful” Syria. The fall of Homs would mean the end of “useful” Syria and the shrinking of the Alawite country to the coastal strip, where it could disappear. In this case, the Russian bases run the risk of experiencing the same catastrophic scenario as the US forces in Saigon in 1975.

One option remains, but it is a perilous one. It involves the deployment of Russian nuclear weapons off the coast of Syria.
⭕️ Hama is a symbolic archetype for the Muslim Brotherhood worldwide. It is their martyrdom shrine, built in the aftermath of Hafez Al-Assad’s suppression of an armed Islamist uprising (one of the first in the Muslim world) in 1982. The MB’s have never forgotten it. Other Islamist factions have declared the entire Syrian state apostate, and Al-Assad is designated as one of the distant successors of Julian the Apostate, the great persecutor of the first Christians.
Hama is the magnetic place that has always attracted Islamists from the Levant. It’s not Raqqa, the summer residence of the flamboyant Caliph Harun Al-Rachid, but Hama, which has become the promised land of militant Islam in the sauce of the empire. We are undoubtedly witnessing the biggest mess there is, and it’s going to affect the whole world.

⭕ Almost four years after the C19 circus, the special services of most of the world’s countries finally have a clear picture of what happened: it was a special operation 100% financed by the USA to launch the first hybrid world war.

All the world’s governments followed suit, because none of them knew exactly what they were dealing with.
We’ll never know the ingredients of the pseudo-vaccines that are supposed to combat C19, even if the laboratories claim that, while they’re not effective, they’re not harmful (placebo).

Similarly, reports of the mobilization of Iraqi forces, which are just as poorly structured as those in Syria, or the arrival of the Popular Mobilization militia (Hachd Chaabi) are even more alarming for the loyalists, as these forces are not only anarchic but also of very uncertain allegiance.

⭕ One question still unanswered: how will Russian forces withdraw from Syria?

💠 @Intel Slava Z:
⭕ 🇸🇾After the fall of Hama, the next major city on the militants’ path is Homs , also the capital of the province of the same name.

The two cities are separated by less than 40 km of the M5 road and a couple of small towns: Er-Rastan and Tall-Bissa . Rastan is easy to defend due to its location and terrain – the city is located on the Asi River, facing the militants, and is protected from the north-western flank by a wide reservoir.

It was the inability of the Syrian army to hold the flanks near Hama that caused the surrender of the city, which they had recently managed to recapture from the militants who had entered and even set up defenses on the northern outskirts. Er-Rastan is partially protected from this problem, but given that we are talking about the Syrian army, we will not undertake to make any predictions.

If the militants reach Homs and capture it, the militants will have an open road not only to the south, to the capital of Syria, the city of Damascus , but also a convenient route to the west, to the coast, where key Russian military facilities are located – the naval base in Tartus , which will be about 80 km away, and the Khmeimim airfield in Latakia , which follows it.

Thus, if the jihadists establish control over Homs, this in itself will not only cut off the coast and the Russian bases on it from the capital region, but will also raise the question of the need to evacuate them . And the subsequent advance of the jihadists towards Damascus will raise the question of the existence of our ally, the Syrian state , as we have known it for the past few years.

It is still unknown what specific real assistance Russia and Iran, already deeply mired in other conflicts, are ready to provide to Assad, so the Syrian army and its leadership need to take independent steps as soon as possible to stabilize the situation, which is close to critical .
[Magnier said Rastan would fall easily. So the road to Homs is open. After that, and it doesn’t appear either Russia or Iran are prepared to fight for a people who’ve lost their nerve (been largely attrited out is more like it), and facing Hordes engaging in serious meat assaults without regard for losses, then it will be down to Damascus. If this rapid sequence takes place, then Lebanon and Palestine are totally besieged like Gaza; Russia should concede and withdraw from coastal bases (Tartus naval base in bottom left box, Hmeimim in top left box).. What days, to see the raising of the Moshiach and Pax Judaica.
PS is all this blinking by civilizational-states an effect of being taken to the nuclear brink?? If so, it still won’t save them, as Guidelines mandate remains operative, and the vast earth reduced for the ease of rule of tiny Zion.

The southern front poses a dual threat to Damascus. On one hand, it could emerge from Dara’a, where opposition forces continue to resist the Syrian government. On the other hand, the threat could come from Israel, should Homs fall. Such a scenario might embolden Israel to annex additional Syrian territories, including the Golan Heights, Quneitra, and potentially the Druze region of Suweida. This would further fragment Syria, creating an opportunity for regional players to carve out spheres of influence and secure their territorial or strategic gains.

⭕ Reports that more than 50 Zionist rats were targeted today in Gaza in a triple ambush with explosives and anti-tank rockets have been confirmed.
⭕ We thought they were dead, but here they are, falling from the sky: elements of the PMC Wagner parachute over Hama.
⭕ Russian ground attack aviation has become a formidable infernal machine. Is this a collateral effect of the war in Ukraine? In Syria, Russian attack aircraft are spearheading the Syrian counter-offensive.
⭕ Another Wagner airdrop north of Hama. With the 25th Syrian Division to the west and south, all that’s left for the rebels is an exit corridor to the east of Hama.
⭕ For once, a highly competent Russian general is leading operations in Syria. If he fails, it will be no fault of his own, as he is demonstrating tactical acumen of the highest order in the face of an almost unwinnable situation.
⭕ Russian aerospace forces are systematically destroying all communications routes and engineering structures between Hama and Idlib. The aim is to destroy opposing logistical lines and prevent the rebels from carrying out any withdrawal.
⭕ In the meantime, [Russian General] Chaiko ordered all surface vessels of the Russian Navy based in Tartus to be off Syria. Russian ships are taking part in the operations, launching volleys of Zirkon missiles at rebel targets.
⭕ Chaiko is very dissatisfied with the Russian officers at his disposal and totally unhappy with the Syrian officers’ mismanagement. He has no choice but to make do with what he has on hand. He is greatly hampered by the total lack of manpower in the Syrian army, once plethoric and now the size of an average PMC. He’ll have to wait for the Iraqi militias, but time is running out. He’ll have to find something else.
Homs is 141 km from Damascus.
⭕ Chaiko needs 15,000 men in Syria. This is impossible. The Syrian armed forces can’t even muster 16,800 men in all.
⭕ Rebels target Homs. They move around in passenger cars…

[you can stick a fork in current Syrian arrangements. These aren’t “rebels.” They enjoy full NATO ISR, arms especially revolutionary drones, logistics through Turkey, and C&C. The Resistance side lacks men, adequate countermeasures, will to fight, and most importantly the needed commitment from the opposing state structures of Russia-China-Iran. Only organized states can take on the combined West and their compradores in every land, and hope to succeed. Unlike for Hezbollah & Yemen & even Hamas, somehow this was not done for Syria!]
⭕ Russian aerospace forces have just pulverized a team of Ukrainian FPV drone operators near Hama in Syria.
⭕ The ratio of forces between the rebels and the Syrian armed forces is 4 to 1 (80,000 to ~20,000).
[Good God. We read of initial tranche of 15,000. They opened the floodgates! Idleb much be emptied, and much of freaks inside Turkey and brought in from central Asia. No wonder the Russian Air Force rushes to prevent their return. But who will annihilate them on the ground??? They are just riding over and eating all of Syria in their way, like a plague of locusts]
⭕ Syria: the notable difference between the pre-2019 rebellion and that of 2024 is that rebel factions of all stripes now have an air force of FPV drones and Kamikazes. This is unstoppable.
⭕ Syria: the rebellion has captured 15,400 square kilometers in just a few days (Idleb, Aleppo, Hama). It’s a dazzling advance.
[Fortune favors the bold]
⭕Syria has withdrawn its request for an emergency meeting of Arab League countries because they will not meet.

It’s Syria’s fault. Syria should have withdrawn from this regional organization and not sought to be reinstated.
[It’s perhaps for the best. Both Syria and the Arab League, and most unfit arabs for that matter will shortly cease to exist. The World will witness soon the realization of Anglo-Zionist goals for a half century: the birth of a MB regime to rival the resurrection of the Third Reich.

Careful what you want West! This Abomination will then be dispatched by Zion, permitting the expansion of Greater Zion. The realization of Yeats’ Beast of Bethlehem.

The Resistance will never die of course, but the masks will have been fully dropped – this was never about right of jews “to defend themselves” and most compradore elites sold out. So most importantly, there will be a removal of internal traitors and with the UN/Old Order gone at that point, less political baggage in the way. ]

💠@imetatronink:
⭕🔻 Brian Berletic:

• Despite reported loss of Hama it should be remembered it and Homs have been traditional strongholds of US-backed extremists back to the 1980s;
• US-backed terrorists are advancing significantly slower as logistics are stretched out in a number of directions;
• Situation is still urgent, outcome impossible to predict until more information emerges regarding the disposition of troops on by sides;
• Again, before Russia’s intervention in 2015, nearly the whole country including parts of Damascus were overrun by US-backed terrorists;
• Many factors since 2015 have changed in Syria’s favor, the question remains how much has the US prepared these terrorists to compensate, and how overstretched are Russian/Iranian/Syrian forces following multiple escalations elsewhere since;

🔻 WS: There is a big difference between seizing territory and being able to retain it as your forces are increasingly diluted and more difficult to supply as lines of communication are stretched and limited stockpiles are depleted.

If Iraqi and Iranian forces converge on the battlefield from the east, and Russian air power remains potent, I can foresee a punishing siege of attrition developing among the US-backed forces.
🔻 Brian Berletic: Yes. It certainly isn’t possible to tell how this will turn out at the moment, one way or the other, it really does all depend on what is left of the Syrian Arab Army, Iranian support and what Russia is able to spare vs the real depth and staying Powe of these forces assembled by the US.
⭕ 🤔 Regarding developing events in Syria, the big question stirring in my mind is what will Moscow do if the US-backed proxy force takes aim at the Russian bases in Latakia and Tartus?

Those increasingly look to be the end game objectives of this operation.
🔻 C1: As of now I think they sit on their hands until January 20th. If things continue after then, I expect action from Russia’s side
🔻 WS: What exactly do you think will change on January 20th?

Sorry, but I reject the idea that ANYTHING of substance will change.

And I don’t believe the Russians think anything will change, either.
🔻 Lee Slusher: Cede territory, build stronger defenses on more favorable terrain, and make a better plan in time, perhaps in concert with other actors.
🔻 C3: Really good question.

I still don’t understand what happened in Syria?
The most logical explanation in my mind is that Turkey doublecrossed the BRICS nations and that it used the time to coordinate and plan this attack which has all the earmarks of Western backing with satellite information as well as drones being supplied by West.

One can never trust the Ottomans. Why people haven’t learned this from history is beyond me..
🔻 Brandon Weichert: You and I both know the Russians are not just going to take this lying down. And I am beginning to suspect that that is the actual hope of the Globalists. To lock Trump into a world war with Russia before he can even be sworn in.
🔻 C1: Russia’s Khmeimim base just 20 miles from advancing Syrian rebels
Dec 3, 2024
Recent developments in Syria suggest a potentially significant shift in the dynamics of the conflict as rebel forces push westward, drawing dangerously close to one of Russia’s most critical military installations.
[good point by the presstitutes at British Al Jazeera: If/when Homs is taken, not only are Lebanon/occupied Palestine besieged totally, and Russia’s bases become untenable, but Syria itself becomes landlocked… This is why the Empire sacrifices thousands of the Horde in the mad dash southwards…]
🔻 C5: No they aren’t. They never fell before and are too heavily defended and hostile to the opposition. Cutting them off won’t do much either, they were cut off before

The objective now is Homs, to force/enable an Israeli ground invasion towards Damascus. Which Israel just confirmed
🔻 WS: The IDF couldn’t even conduct a successful ground invasion to the Litani River against Hezbollah. The idea of an Israeli move against Damascus is, imo, a military impossibility. Their flanks would be fatally exposed along the entire corridor. Logistics would be a nightmare.
🔻 C5: I don’t Even think it matters if it succeeds, just that it takes attention away from the more pressing concerns to the north, not to mention the impact of Israel’s only real strength, it’s Air Force. An Invasion of any size would give them the excuse to go full Gaza on Damascus
[good points. Additionally the world’s attention remains diverted as Palestinians continue to be comfortably exterminated at leisure. And the momentum for Chaos is maintained, at all costs. To pause itself may be a Defeat at this point. So more atrocity and war upon more atrocity and bloodshed, unto the zionazi Rapture]
🔻 C6: I’d prefer to see non-nuclear (but multiple) Oreshnik.
🔻 WS: This makes no sense to me. What would the Russians possibly want to target in Syria with a hypersonic IRBM?
[Good point. It is not only not need, but may message the opposite: that they’re desperate..]
⭕ 🔻 Chebureki Man: So far no missile attacks on Russia since Putin chucked some hazelnuts at Ukraine.

That is some nutty deterrence.
🔻 WS: There were two distinct ATACMS strikes that came AFTER the Oreshnik strike. But those were then followed by counterstrikes against ATACMS launchers and US/French contingents within Ukraine — strikes which the Russians claimed to have eliminated 40 American and 9 French soldiers.
🔻 Chebureki Man: I missed seeing the reports, though haven’t had much time lately to keep up lately.

What were the targets?
🔻 WS: 5 ATACMS launched at an S-400 installation — 3 shot down; 1 S-400 radar unit damaged.

8 ATACMS launched at an airbase — 7 shot down, 1 caused negligible damage.

5 ATACMS launchers destroyed later that same day (11/25), along with two separate NATO installations.
🔻 C2: ^^^this. It wasn’t the Hazelnut turning that factory into Nutella, it was the loss of the means to counterstrike. Which is one more piece of evidence that this war is going to be won on the battlefield, not at the negotiating table.
🔻 Farmer Bruce: I like hearing about NATO losses *almost* as much as I do about IOF eliminations…
⭕ ‼️📜 The Missile Will Always Get Through

I try to always save “headroom” when it comes to lavishing praise upon and giving my highest recommendation to something I’ve just read.

But this week’s essay by Aurelien is a *MUST READ*.

#BigPictureStuff
🔻 C1: Does 🇺🇸 have any hypersonic missiles in development or close to any operational viability?
How would anyone know the answer to this question especially if such development is secretive?
🔻 WS: I’ve seen nothing I’d characterize as “objective evidence” of “operational viability”.

It’s really hard to keep military secrets these days.

And the fact remains the entire US arms-procurement model is that of a high-end fashion boutique with inherently constrained scalability.
🔻 C2: Ted Postol views the physics informs him that this missile does not have as much destructive power and that Putin was poorly misinformed, though Postol has a very high view of Putin’s capabilities

My own view is Russia would not make such a basic mistake
[I’ve not yet seen Postol’s latest. He could be misquoting or intentionally misrepresenting him. In prior interviews he didn’t say anything like this, nor was disrespectful of Russkies in the slightest. In fact, he had a healthy level of fear]
🔻 C1: I have said it before, and will so yet again: in my considered opinion, Ted Postol is an unreliable source.
[OK. Take a pass on his PoV on Postol and Helmer, LOL. It’s an alpha male thing] 
⭕ 🔻 Von Clownsewitz’s War College: And just like that, the narrative appears to be changing to DPRK troops being in Russia but not entering combat for lack of training. |media|
🔻 WS: We’ve entered the “Shut it down …” phase of the fractured fairy tale.
🔻 C2: They tried and gave it their best, and as customary in the West, they should get a participation trophy, one in the shape of a hazelnut tree.
🔻 C3: At least Fractured Fairy Tales had a full cast and a more believable story.
⭕ Retweet:
🔻 The Good Shepherd: It is pretty widely understood within defense circles that NATO air power would basically rape the Russian Air Force and air defenses.

This was assumed before 2022 and is even more probable now after russia’s subpar air performance in Ukraine.
🔻 WS: You’re a silly little boy with no understanding of these matters.
🔻 Lee Slusher: It’s pretty widely misunderstood within defense circles.

Also, there are only so many ports. It would be unwise to assume Russia doesn’t have them under constant surveillance and can’t destroy them with missile strikes in a matter of minutes. What then? NATO is stuck with what the continent has on hand. The weakest link becomes the only one. This would all happen very quickly.
🔻 C3: It would be a nightmare. Every troop concentration, logistics depot, command center, airfield – all tactical/strategic points of any value would be wide open to missile interdiction with impunity.
🔻 Lee Slusher: The ports on which we’d rely would be destroyed within an hour. Something else to consider.
🔻 The Good Shepherd: The argument is that if Russia destroys a small number of ports then the continent of Europe will be unable to be reinforced by North American Allies?

Is this your claim?
🔻 Lee Slusher: I don’t know how much actual experience you have in real-world operations. But if you think the loss of ports would be inconsequential in a Russia/NATO war, my guess is not much.

Regarding the air component, the US has never flown against such a sophisticated air defense network. No one has.

In addition, the most advanced EW complex ever built exists along Russia’s western periphery. Its sole purpose is a war against NATO. While we were chasing insurgents and building wells in the desert, Russia was building this.

What happens to our finicky, electronics-laden aircraft in this environment? What about our aerial munitions? We don’t know exactly because that particular match up hasn’t happened. But we have seen what Russian EW has done, for example, to GPS-guided munitions. The assumption that our air force would “rape” Russia is shoddy supposition and DC groupthink.

Russia has demonstrated its technical prowess many times over, most recently with the Oreshnik. They’ve spent decades building systems that exploit the asymmetries between our forces. Better EW, better air defenses, better hypersonics (and indirect fire weapons in general). They’ve fought a very limited campaign in Ukraine in part because they reserve their most capable systems for a potential war with the West.

If your argument rests on the consensus within US defense circles, I rest my case.
⭕ 🔻 Syrian Girl 🇸🇾: BREAKING🚨Israel says it will invade Syria if Homs falls. A last minute be a land grab near the border to overstretch the Syrian army and lead to the quickening of the fall.

⚡️The Hebrew page “Zeev Rubinstein” – Israeli political source:

“If Homs falls, Israel will enter Syria and establish a buffer zone.”
🔻 WS: I remain convinced little is as it seems in Syria. I can’t quite put my finger on it yet. But events, as reported, are not painting a coherent picture. I’m waiting for the “other shoe to drop” to clarify matters …

I increasingly suspect someone is getting “set up”, but that the someone in question has no sense of the fact that he’s the mark.

A few more days should bring some clarity.
🔻 C2: The most basic condition for further progress will have to be the incursion of the turkish military in Syria proper. So far turks have denied any involvement.
🔻 C3: What and who could be set up?
🔻 WS: The easiest mark is always whoever is most desperate to win a big pot on a good hand.

In my view, the Israelis are, by far, the most “desperate for a win” player at the table.
🔻 C4: appars Alistair Crooke in agreeance with your point of view in his latest in strategic culture…can’t link as x prohibits but as pepe says ‘you know where to find it
🔻 C5: They’re not abandoning major cities as a “clever ruse”
🔻 WS: The fact remains they ARE abandoning major cities — without a major fight — almost certainly because they have been ordered to do so.

If this is the case, then they must believe they are luring the “rebels” into a disadvantageous position.
[that would be the saving grace of this debacle. As much of Syria was already rubble and not allowed by Empire to rebuild – they emptied Idleb to shoot them up elsewhere. But a trick can also be turned on the trickster]

This invasion may shadow Kursk, but there are too many signs of collapse too. “Rebels” in SW Syria surged and took over border with Zion; The Syrian Arab Army withdrew from Deir Ezzour in NE (!) handing territory without resistance to Kurds.

Syria is being dismembered.

Outsiders cannot fight for Syria in all quadrants and against hundreds of thousands of drug-zombies and internal traitors bolstered by all neighbors, armed and commanded by NATO…

Syria as we knew it appears lost. I hope I’m wrong. The older experienced analysts cannot process it and are astounded and think it must be some 5D chess by the civilizational-states.

Eschatology is moving to center stage. The Moshiach will be given his period of rule.. perhaps, on the other side, the survivors will appreciate the Light a little more, and fight for it next time.

States can just give up due to despair.

Syria has been under comprehensive satanic assault by most mankind marshalled by Empire for almost a century. What broke the camel’s back may be the US Caesar Act which led to tremendous poverty and corruption and loss of faith in much of authorities, and witnessing Gaza… the latter is not trivial. These are their close kin, right next door, being routinely massacred daily, and with open contempt. And none are able to stop it. The Resistance wins all battles and confrontations. But civilians die and cities are turned to rubble. Do the math.

The civilizational-states waited too long. Simple PsyOps were able to fright the overwhelmed Syrian conscripts, causing abandonment after abandonment of positions. Even Russians are despairing now at what they see. Assad and current Syrian state structures are incapable of holding off the Horde

A period of abject slavery is next for all in West Asia – to demons.

But after the Ashes, and the imminent end of the western ISR, C&C and supply chains, another slave revolt is possible.

💠 @Strategika51:
⭕ On Arab social networks, the majority of Internet users applaud the rebel advance in Syria, and a significant proportion believe that the capture of Damascus will make things easier in Palestine.

Arab public opinion is still as easy to manipulate as it was in the 1920s or 1950s.
⭕ The Syrian rebels and their plethora of supporters want McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, PizzaHut, lots of Apple IPhone 16s in top-of-the-range finishes, they want PayPal, they want halal OnlyFans, they want to live like trendy Saudis, watch Netflix and Disney, they also want their own exclusive, enjuvenated Islam, excluding the other as a vulgar apostate even if he enjoys popcorn and Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). Women must be veiled in a Sharia-compliant veil in the colors of the Star-Spangled Banner and be addicted to Tik Tok.

The coastal Alawite minority will certainly be massacred or forced into exile.

In the end, there will be skyscrapers in Damascus.

⭕ Palestinian fanboys who shifted from supporting #Gaza to #Syria’s instability, do you realise that the timing of the Turkish proxies attack save @Netanyahu from his domestic and international crisis for his crimes and diverted the attention completely away from the Palestinian cause?
⭕ Israel is waiting (maybe not for very long and maybe not) for #Homs to fall in order to annex the south of #Syria and call it a “buffer zone to protect against jihadists”, the same thing it has been supporting for many years. @Netanyahu is not hiding his ambition that helps his image domestically by adding more stolen territories to the “greater Israel”.
⭕ Joulani on the CNN. It was interesting to see how he is promoted by the US.
⭕ Syria:
Syrian government forces are expected to:
1. Leave Al Bu Kamal, Deir-ezzour, Palmira and stop at al-Qaryateyn to protect Homs.
2. Leave Daraa and retract to the limits of Damascus rural area.

That will limit the defence of a larger area to a smaller area, secure Latakia, Tartous, Damascus and Homs.

Homs is almost empty of its inhabitants, allowing the defence forces to be less concerned about civilians when fighting against the pro-Turkish forces

☝️ “the stupidity that prevails in the region.” Thank you. That’s it in a nutshell. Most arabs today are no different than the Israelites at the coming of Moses after 400 years of enslavement by Pharaoh; these today were enslaved even longer – by Turks first, then the Anglo-Zionists!

This may really inform why the civilizational-states haven’t put boots on the ground. First, one cannot fight for another people. Second, most are house slaves unfit to be saved at the moment. After the Ashes, perhaps, they’ll awaken. In the meanwhile, they’ll be taken down piecemeal, funded by themselves, using shocktroops including themselves, and cheered on by themselves.

~~~~~

We must be frank comrades and not enter a bubble ourselves, like the satanists.

The issue is not Zion. They’re nearly as attrited and after fighting for a year on their last legs, like their cousins the UkroNazis.

This was exquisitely timed and a dagger which pierced the heart.

There’s a team at work.

The shocking development is the loss of heart of worn Syrians, and the entrance of Turkey and most of the arabs into the fray.

Turkey’s betrayal is self-evident.

The exceptionally naive and mindwashed arabs are a vast boost to the Empire. After decades of psyops, they’ve come to hate the Syrian Baath rulers and it is an irrational hatred.

They weren’t merely poking out their own eye to spite a brother, but were given a rope by the Moshiach, and hung themselves.

Syria was one of the last cracks in the dam holding off the deluge of the zionazi-salafi Hordes. Now they will come, and sweep the region, after Iran and Yemen are decapitated & nuked.

Facts on the ground remain facts on the ground. Syria will be unlikely to regain what it just lost prior to Armageddon.

I am not defeatist at all. I am succored by Eschatology that (1) Damascus will hold on, regardless of odds and being surrounded, like a Cuba stuck in the craw of Empire.

(2) the fight will be taken to the two real enemies of humanity and the region, and which are the two prison guards of the slaves: the PetroSheikhs and the Turks. Their treachery and complicity will become glaring after Pax Judaica expands.

And the coming bitter humiliation, unendurable to honor-based societies like the arabs, of being abject slaves to the zionazi jews, will clear all the mirages blown at them by Al Jazeera and their own delusions. THEN the fools will appreciate what Syria and others have done all these years whilst they stood on the sidelines and cheered on their own coming honor-rape. Stupid is as stupid does.

(3) that is why i am most optimistic about the end game now. First the people have to wake up and change their own internal constitution.

The coming slavery will be a refreshing motivator. They come from a culture that always fights, even for centuries as during the first crusades, or the Palestinians for the last century. God helps those who help themselves, and above all those who respect themselves (like the Palestinians/Yemenis) and have balls and fight.

The real fight is ahead. And it will come and cleanse the region from the River to the Sea

~~~

Emerson, that’s an intriguing thought about Erdogan, that he may be donmeh. I’d heard rumors of Mustafa Kemal and his Young Turks remote controlled from City. A cousin who lived in Ankara in 80s was obsessed over the freemasons; it must have rubbed off from bitter Turks..

Erdogan would be logical too. Or he is putty in their hands. Pepe likes to say he doesn’t read. Many functional illiterates are sharp and shrewd, but it is handicap in this age.

And I also agree, whether witting or not, he in effect joins Pax Judaica. Look at map. Turkey is between Khazaria on the northern Black Sea coast, and the Holy Land. The missing piece.

The Jews would straddle the entire center of Asia, and dominate the Silk Road and all trade connectivities. They would also hold in their iron grip all the centers of monotheism – Makkah, Jerusalem, and former Holy Constantinople. One throne over global trade, religion, and culture. Armageddon would dispense with the West and the civilizational-states. The best laid plans  …

💠 @ejmalrai:

The Syrian government’s abandonment (not yet but should) of al-Bukamal – Deir ezzour is a turning point for the Lebanese resistance in the eyes of ignorant analysts who believe that this is how Iran supplied Hezbollah with weapons.

🔻 EM: Who says the “Takfiri” is correct? It is not over.

Nothing behind the scene. The attacking forces are not ISIS or al-Qaeda (not takfiri) even off they have foreign fighters among them. The terminology doesn’t indicate giving up on defending Homs and Damascus as long as the Syrian army is fighting.
🔻 C3: What Do You think will happen with Latakia and Tartus, Sir? Because that’s the most important question right now.
🔻 EM: Protected by its people.
🔻 C4: Is the Syrian army really fighting Elijah? It seems that they’re just withdrawing from province after province.

There has been some minor clashes, but that’s it.
🔻 EM: The army withdrew to fight in specific cities and locations that can be defended. We see. The next days and weeks will show the development we all are waiting for.
🔻 C5: Just a question Elijah do you believe what is happening on the battlefield in Syria.

Is the warning to Putin that victoria nuland mentioned while she was in Ukraine few months ago?

“There will be surprises for Putin and Russia on the battlefield”?
🔻 EM: That was Erdogan’s decision that the US and Israel were very happy to see if he will succeed. A cross meeting of interest without necessarily a coordinated attack by all these players.
⭕ The Syrian army is now taking the right steps.

Again, in military tactics it is normal for the army to withdraw from all positions that can be cut off from logistical supply and support, and to gather forces where it is possible to defend and attack as opportunities arise.

⭕ Paradoxically, it won’t be the rebels in Idleb or the Kurds east of the Euphrates that deal a fatal blow to the Syrian government and Al-Assad’s rule. It will be the great tribal confederations of the southern province of Deraa, related to the great tribes of northern Jordan, who will do so. Deraa was the cradle of the 2011 rebellion.
⭕ One of Syria’s two Jewish generals was killed in a suicide drone attack near Homs. Another Christian general commanding a Republican Guard unit was also killed in Homs.
⭕ Widespread armed uprising in the southern province of Deraa. Rebels storm all public buildings and military sites.
⭕ At this rate, Damascus will be threatened on three major fronts.
⭕ This is a very interesting situation: Damascus, probably the oldest city in the world, has rarely been taken.
⭕ The situation in Syria is unprecedented in every respect.
⭕ The HTS issues a decree ordering the extermination of Kurdish forces wherever they are.

This heralds decades of civil war in Syria.
⭕ Aleppo: enforced disappearances, summary executions by the dozen based on prepared lists.
⭕ The Deraa rebels join forces with Zionist forces in the Golan Heights. They exchange gifts and congratulate each other on the new situation.
[If Zion had been on last legs a week ago, it now has enough life force for ten more years]
⭕ Unidentified warplanes have bombed the Türkiye-backed HTS in northern Syria.

These are not Russian warplanes, let alone Syrian.

Washington and a European country are avenging their Kurdish protégés and want to curb Ankara’s dominating influence in the future Syria.
[the satanic side is so confident, they start to cull their disposables. Even Zion has murmured the danger of the new Horde in Syria, starting the process for expansion of Pax Judaica into Syria]

⭕ 🔻 C1: Why is Syrian Army not showing any resistance?

Opposition rebels as the USA, Israel and Turkey calls them?
🔻 EM: Turkey’s proxies Syrian opposition and domestic-foreign jihadists.
🔻 C1: To you they are launching a legitimate struggle and not terrorism?
🔻 EM: Terrorism is defined as “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents.”

“Terrorism is the deliberate use of violence, intimidation, or coercion, often targeting civilians or non-combatants, to achieve political, ideological, or religious goals.”

Nobody agreed on the definition of terrorism.
⭕ Russia became actively involved in the Syrian war in 2015, not earlier. Between 2013 and 2015, Iran and its allied forces responded to Damascus’s call for assistance.

This support has now been firmly established, providing significant strength to Syria’s efforts. The responsibility for fighting, alongside these allies, now rests with the Syrian army.

The key battles will take place in Damascus, Homs, and Latakia. The looming Battle of Homs is approaching, with both sides preparing for a decisive confrontation.

To strengthen its position, the Syrian army is strategically withdrawing from distant provinces. This maneuver will consolidate forces in critical areas while forcing the opposing forces to stretch themselves thinner and take on the challenge of administering these vast, newly occupied territories.

The stage is set, and soon, the course of these pivotal battles will reveal what lies ahead.

💠 @ejmalrai:
⭕ It cannot be ruled out that the attacking forces are bypassing #Homs and heading for #Damascus. More information is needed to confirm this.

#Israel will inevitably move in and annex more Syrian territory in the south.
⭕ If the Syrian government collapses, #Turkey will be remembered as the driving force behind it and the one that allowed #Israel to annex more Syrian territory just to satisfy Turkish domestic politics.
⭕ The southern front poses a dual threat to Damascus. On one hand, it could emerge from Dara’a, where opposition forces continue to resist the Syrian government. On the other hand, the threat could come from Israel, should Homs fall. Such a scenario might embolden Israel to annex additional Syrian territories, including the Golan Heights, Quneitra, and potentially the Druze region of Suweida. This would further fragment Syria, creating an opportunity for regional players to carve out spheres of influence and secure their territorial or strategic gains.

And just deposing Assad and throwing the Russians out of their bases will be a huge defeat inflicted upon Russia as they succeed in Ukraine. Russian forces as far as Africa will be difficult to maintain without the Syrian lily pad.

This is also a defeat for Iran, which will not be able to resupply Hezbollah in Lebanon. The IDF is already turning back Iranian transport planes. Look of for an Israeli “buffer zone” in S. Syria.

As a counter move, Russia and Iran will put more pressure on far-flung U.S. bases by providing more arms to U.S. adversaries such as the Houthis.
[more simplistic nonsense. Magnier made the telling point – even at worst moments of Syria in past, Hezbollah was being supplied. The folks of the region know their desert trails. Smugglers are available aplenty given massive impoverishment. And they’ve acquired massive “import substitution” since and make much of their own. And if all fails, they can revert to simply-armed guerrillas that can stay the fight for 1,000 years, when Pax Judaica is prophesied to lack even a decade of existence.]
🔻 C1: The HTS invasion of Syria was planned and supported from Turkey. Turkey will be in control of Alleppo at least. The US and its surrogates will keep eastern Syria and the oil fields. That oil is going out to Turkey.

Israel is talking about a “buffer zone” in southern Syria. IDF fighter jets have already turned back Iranian transport planes. American A-10s are attacking Syrian Army forces and providing CAS to the HTS.

Syria will be cut in half when the HTS reaches the border of Lebanon. Damascus will be landlocked and put under siege. Assad will flee or he will be killed. Russia will lose its bases in Latakia and Tartus, thereby losing its force projection in the region and into Africa. It also cripples Russian naval force projection in the Med.
🔻 WS: Such an ambitious reshuffling of the geopolitical deck in the Levant would require the FULL focus of the empire’s power projection capability — for YEARS — thereby ceding to Russia and China unobstructed expansion of their respective spheres of influence.

⭕ 🤔 The more I ponder the possibilities, the more persuaded I become that Erdogan is the mark. He thinks he is in the process of pulling off a brilliant scheme that will make him a living legend.

I think it’s more likely his days are numbered and few.
[concur. Either way, by either side. A condom has been used..]
🔻 C1: Will, How do you explain that to geopolitics Dummies like myself?
🔻 WS: Geopolitics for Dummies 😏

Erdogan has been feeling a little “less than” since the world started changing really fast a few years ago. Now all of a sudden he has a resurgent superpower Russia and a regionally dominant Iran on his borders.

And all his fancy NATO-built military is suddenly looking old and feeble.

So, in a fit of pique and envy, he went down to the Turkish treasury, “borrowed” a couple pallets of gold, and bought himself a plausible deniability army and a big sack of $1M poker chips.

Then, looking a bit disheveled after a few shots of Rakı (for courage), he sauntered into a backroom big stakes poker game. An Israeli doorman took his coat, and led him to an empty chair at a table where Russia, China, Iran, and an anonymous US intel source were already seated.

Over the course of an hour or so (it only seemed like weeks), Erdogan lost his entire stake, waved a Topkapı dagger around menacingly, cursed the others in the name of some obscure ancient Assyrian god, swept the table of cards and chips, and staggered out the door with a flourish.

The doorman snatched the dagger, stabbed the Turk on the threshold, and threw the body in the sea.
[wow. he should copywrong this. It may be the AZE script for the universally despised Turk!]
🔻 C2: I would not underestimate Erdogan. He knows how to leverage the conflicts between US, Russia, Iran, Israel, Syria, Europe, to Turkey’s advantage. He’s keeping S-400, getting F-35s, his forces are in Libya and Syria, Damascus seems within reach of his forces. Who’ll stop him?
🔻 C3: However, Russia needs Turkey to help circumvent sanctions, block the Bosphorus, do all kinds of other things, which means it can’t afford to wholly antagonize Turkey, either. Iran’s ability to project power into Syria seems dwarfed by Turkey’s.
🔻 WS: Iran’s ability to project power into Turkey dwarfs Turkey’s ability to project power into Iran.

Russia’s and Iran’s ability to arm the Kurds to take over much of southeastern Turkey dwarfs Turkey’s ability to defend against such a move.

You see, there are MANY considerations.
🔻 C3: In theory Iran can strike Turkey with missiles as it did Israel, but Turkey is an Article 5 NATO country. And even the US gave up on arming the Kurds b/c it didn’t want Turkey to drift closer to Russia. Turkey’s ability to shift alliances on a moment’s notice is a real plus.
🔻 WS: Article 5 is a myth. 📜 Little Stick
🔻 C4: When Iran attempted to project power into Azerbaijan during the Karabakh war, the Turkish minority in northern Iran blocked the highways and forced their tanks to return. You have significantly misunderstood the power dynamic between Turkey and Iran.
[take with salt. the commentator is a turk woman. I do not know the internal dynamics, but much of top Iranian authorities are themselves Azeri-Turk, wise to that region. And it is doubtful the central authorities would countenance such regional misbehavior at any point, much less in time of existential war]

1/ Assad’s forces are done. Homs is indefensible—his best troops were in Hama, and when the time came for close quarters urban combat, they folded. SAA must retreat now, taking forces and materiel to the Nusayriyah Mountains to their last defensible line. |THREAD|

2/ If they don’t move soon, they risk losing both troops and resources they can’t afford to replace. Tartus is non-negotiable for the regime—it’s home to Russia’s naval base, the only reason Assad is still in power.

3/ This is a chess game now, but Assad’s pieces are being swept off the board faster than he can move them. SAA need to set up fortifications stretching from: Krak des Chevaliers, To the M4 highway heading to Latakia. They must deny access to the coastline at all costs.

4/ A loss of Tartus doesn’t just jeopardize Assad—it threatens Russia’s entire Mediterranean foothold. That base is key to resupplying the remnants of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA). Lose it, and it’s game over.

5/ As Clausewitz said, “War is merely the continuation of politics by other means.” Jolani has flipped this—using politics to prepare for war. Years of diplomacy with historical enemies have paid off. In northern Hama, HTS secured peaceful takeovers and defections.
[this appears a key plank of the Collapse of Assad Gov: defections & betrayals, in addition to simple cowardice of the demoralized.]

6/ But the most outstanding part is Jolani’s “too good to be true” proposal for a decentralized Syria ruled by councils that recognize Syria’s ethnic, religious, and sectarian diversity—essentially what AANES proposed from day one, only to be rejected by Assad at every turn.

7/ Turkey is furious at Jolani’s decentralization rhetoric. By Erdogan’s decree, all HTS assets in Turkey have been frozen, sending a clear signal. For Ankara, HTS’s overtures threaten its main goal: destroying the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria.
[the thieves already break out, and they’ve not even completed the overthrow! The grasping hubris]

8/ Erdogan’s fury ties back to the 2016 invasion: Operation Euphrates Shield meant to block Afrin from uniting with Manbij and the rest of Rojava. For Ankara, ISIS wasn’t the problem; but the solution to the Kurdish question—but Kobane stood, and pushed back, and AANES was born.

9/ Turkey’s occupation of northern Syria has one goal: dismantling AANES at all costs. HTS’s push for decentralization revives the vision Turkey invaded to destroy, putting Ankara and Jolani on a direct collision course.

⭕ ✏️ One thing is for certain: Turkiye replaced Saudi Arabia as the center of influence on extremists.

For years, it was Saudi Arabia who had direct influence in the region with its Wahhabi ideology, which Israel made use of, to further its agenda in West-Asia.

After many investments into normalising relations with KSA, Israel likely saw no serious future with them. With Al-Aqsa Flood, Israel realised Turkiye’s influence and invested in a grand scheme to replace Wahhabism with Ottomanic centralisation.

Saudi Arabia is improving relations with Iran on a daily basis, it was not feasible for Israel to completely rely on them. So the hybrid warfare shifted towards Turkiye.

Why is Turkey such a great alternative? Economically, Iran relies heavily on Turkey. Unfortunately, Iran has invested so much in this economic relationship that severing ties would significantly harm its already fragile economy. This dependence is also why Iran (and Russia) avoid naming Turkey as the culprit for the unrest in Syria right now.

Not trying to give you fear, but I’m afraid we’re witnessing only the beginning of things.

⭕ Never forget that the collective West continues to support the ongoing Gaza Holocaust.

Support the Resistance.

Silence is complicity.
⭕ 20 more Palestinians have been slaughtered in yet another Israeli airstrike targeting a residential building in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Western elites, diplomats, and mainstream media journalists want you to forget that the #GazaHolocaust continues
⭕️ More slaughter in Khan Yunis last night.

Don’t let the Erdogan backed Al-Qaeda invasion of Syria be used as a means to distract attention away from the ongoing #GazaHolocaust
⭕ As we slept last night, the #GazaHolocaust continued.

Who fought for Gaza? Who supported the Resistance in Gaza?

Who supported Netanyahu? Who did business with Netanyahu?

💠 @Syrian Girl:
⭕ ANALYSIS🚨 What happened in #Syria in the last few days has left many in shock, how could the Syrian army cede so much territory within a matter of days? As the fog of war settles the picture becomes clearer.

🔻The first step in understanding this is to note that the Syrian army were ordered to retreat from Aleppo/Hama. The soldiers didn’t run and there was no mutiny. The AlQaeda hordes didn’t defeat the Army, because they didn’t fight them in the first place. They simply ceded the ground. To understand why such a gut wrenching decision had to be made we must have to look at the wider chessboard  |THREAD|

⭕ Al Joulani is the son of a wealthy bourgeois. His father was a consultant to the former oil minister and to major oil multinationals, Jeunesse dorée. He falls in love with a young girl from the ruling Alawite minority elite. Her family rejects him. This is the beginning of his personal transformation. He veers towards extreme Islamism, then destructive nihilism. It’s a story with a certain resemblance to that of a very nice Austrian painter who was rejected by the Vienna Art School. He would go on to become rebel leader, then supreme leader of the Syrian rebellion, and soon one of the strong men of the Levant.
The legends office is still in full swing.
⭕ Syria: rebels release all detainees from Homs prisons.
Political police headquarters abandoned. The mobilization of 50 traffic police to defend the city was a bad idea.
⭕ Syrian armed forces withdrew from Homs towards Al-Qusayr.

Further southwest, the Lebanese Hezbollah announced the departure of 2,000 of its fighters to Syria.

💠 @ejmalrai:
⭕ Syria’s geopolitics is extremely important in the Middle East. Nevertheless, its instability won’t stop after the change of leadership
⭕️ 🔻 C1: Can you also tell us why are you that pesimistic please? I know it looks extremely chaotic but why these words?
🔻 EM: Homs is almost over and Damascus is no longer holding.
⭕ The next questions: Who will rule #Syria? What kind of ruling it will be? Who will change the constitution? Who will finance the reconstruction?
🔻 C1: Usually, we’re the ones who ask and you’re the one with all the clear and honest answers 😄😍
🔻 EM: This time is too complicated Mary.
⭕ It looks like what will remain of the old #Syria will be limited to Homs, for now, and on longer term Latakia – Tartous only. #Lebanon should think about defended its borders.

People in #Damascus should think of their future in the next 24-48 hours.
🔻 C1: Aaah Elijah, is it that bleak ? 💔💔💔💔
🔻 EM: worse.
🔻 C1: ejmalrai how do you think this will impact us in Lebanon on the short and long run?
🔻 EM: Very unpredictable. We need to wait for a while.
⭕ It is over.
[I think he meant Homs fell. Perhaps a pun for the Baathist era too]

💠 @Palestinian Commie:
⭕️ Dear comrades, it appears that Damascus has fallen.

💠 @Strategika51:
⭕ Tayep Reçep Erdogan, President of Türkiye, Vindictive: “Today there is a new reality in Syria”
⭕️ Finally, Erdogan is a gray wolf.
Grey wolves are legion in Türkiye.
⭕️ We’ve been reading a lot of erroneous analysis on Syria in the last 24 hours. Some are talking about sharing zones of influence. Let’s be logical: there will be no sharing. None whatsoever. Nothing. If Assad’s power falls, Russia will no longer have any presence in Syria, not even in the form of a fifth-rate trade office.
⭕ From a purely military and strategic point of view, the fall of Homs sounds the death knell for the Syrian Arab Republic. It means the end of Baathism as a political ideology, and the disappearance of the last vestiges of Arab progressivism in favor of unbridled, pro-US Islamist neoliberalism.
This means that the Palestinian question is about to disappear as such.
⭕ The most dangerous detainees of the Daesh organization in Lebanon’s Roumya high-security prison celebrated the advance of the Syrian rebels throughout the night. Their release is imminent, as Lebanon has very little chance of surviving the new situation except in one case: by abandoning its statehood and ceding its territory to a foreign power.
⭕ There are two problems facing Bashar Al-Assad two weeks ago: the first arose just after he expressed his willingness to fight, and nobody, including the most prominent generals, wants to fight.

The second problem lies in the misleading reports about military manpower, which is virtually non-existent in certain phantom units whose operating budget was embezzled by unscrupulous officers who joined the rebellion as soon as they were suspected of embezzlement.

Iran will not send troops to Syria. This eventuality is totally excluded and even impossible.

Russia has done its utmost, but cannot make up for the refusal of any willingness to fight within what remains of the Syrian army.

Washington, which is leading the offensive while pretending to know nothing about it, is pretending to be concerned about Syrian chemical weapons stockpiles, a Zionist sea serpent that has been reiterated for over 40 years. The US government is no stranger to hypocrisy.
⭕ George Washington was a Satanist.

George Washington rose to the highest level of Freemasonry on August 4, 1753, taking charge of the influential Alexandria Lodge in Virginia. He was a master spy known by his code name 711, whose religion was and still is unknown to conventional historians. At the top of the 33 degrees of the pyramid, Washington was a fervent worshiper of Baphomet.
⭕ In other words, Washington was a worshipper of a minor demon used and punished by Solomon for his depredations.

During the Crusades, the Templar order deified this demon and placed it at the center of their sect.
⭕ There’s a link between the Knights Templar, the Rosicrucians, the Jesuits, the Freemasons and the Zionists, and that link is an ancient, obscure religion based on forgotten horrors and human sacrifice.
⭕ Our correspondents in Syria have not replied for a week. One of them has just sent us this message (translated):

“The stark reality is that the Syrian army has not fought at all. The Syrian army has handed over to the rebels the towns they claim to have captured. There must be a great betrayal within the army. The Russians say it’s a scandalous attitude. That’s all I have to say for now. But it’s not over yet. They [the enemy] have won a round this time, but they will face others who will come after us. Thank you my friend for all these years of collaboration, strength of mind and bright ideas. I may not be available for the next few days. God alone decides the affairs of the universe.”
⭕ Town of Al-Qaim (on the Syrian-Iraqi border): Syrian soldiers flee into Iraq with all their equipment, to the jeers and insults of Iraqi civilians who call them cowards (one of them refers to Hafez Al-Assad).

In 2004, Syrian troops stationed on the same border clashed with the US army occupying Iraq.
⭕ We’ve said it here: the danger to Damascus comes from the South, not the North or the East.

The rebels of Deraa are the descendants of those who dismantled the Ottoman Empire and enabled the British to create half a dozen states in the Middle East.

It was thanks to them that the mad Allenby returned to Damascus in 1918.
⭕ It’s a little too fast to be normal.

It’s conventional choreography.
⭕ US and Israeli warplanes bombed Lebanese Hezbollah units retreating from Syria into Lebanon via Al-Qusayr.
⭕ As soon as Damascus fell, Israel will invade Lebanon as far as Beirut.

The Turks will extend their zone of influence as far as Damascus.

The Americans will have a huge territory in ex-Syria.

Syria is unlikely to keep its present borders, despite what was said at the Baghdad meeting.

Sullivan, good fool that he is, even let the cat out of the bag: “The United States will strengthen the security of Iraq, Israel and Jordan to prevent the spread of unrest in Syria to these countries”…
⭕ Well, season 4 of the Syrian soap opera ends tonight.

No shots were fired by the ex-Syrian army in Damascus. The soldiers shed their fatigues and joined the rebels. No resistance whatsoever.
⭕ The remnants of the Syrian Republican Guard abandoned the headquarters of the Ministry of the Interior in Damascus.
⭕ There are three main players behind the terrorist uprising in Syria who provide them with logistics, weapons and equipment, as well as advice.

These actors are the United States, the Zionist regime and the Turkish government.

The Zionist regime constantly violates the ceasefire agreement to test Hezbollah’s reaction. Given the situation in Syria, if Hezbollah is besieged, the Zionist regime will probably violate the ceasefire completely”.
Ali Larijani, Iranian politician and philosopher
⭕ The Syrian Arab Republic no longer exists.
⭕ Damascus fell without a fight.
⭕ Erdogan has fooled everyone.
⭕ We won’t dwell on this strange affair, which will soon reveal its secrets.

What about the Syrian coastline, where two Russian bases are located?

De facto separatism is already in place, not to mention Kurdish separatism in the north-east.

The days ahead will be curious.
⭕ What is certain after the fall of Damascus:

-Civil war 2.0;
-An invasion of Lebanon by Israel
-The total annihilation of Hezbollah
– The end of the so-called Axis of Resistance, which in fact never existed.
– Likely regime change in Iran
[Not so fast Frenchie. Ideas cannot be put back in the bottle. This ain’t over by far. What failed was inadequate Baathism. Many plottwists ahead.]

So the coast may fold shortly too. The news yesterday of S400 redeploying from Hmeimim to Tartus was likely true. Russia appears in process of evacuation..

💠 @PressTV:
⭕ Opposition armed groups enter Bashar al-Assad’s presidential palace in Damascus.   |media|
⭕ Militants in Syria announce fall of Assad on state TV   |media|

whether or not the Zio-USUK manipulated the Resistance to initiate it, they had no choice. Berletic doesn’t appreciate the deadend horror of living under the zionazi boot. It was either a slow genocide, or a fast one.. A prison break was inevitable. All things considered, given near-demilitarization of the combined West, this was an opportune moment.

💠@ejmalrai:
⭕ I spoke to senior diplomats in #Damascus #Syria who told me that the new militant commanders have knocked on some doors and confirmed their intention to respect the diplomatic immunity of all personnel.
[the goons were better schooled this time, in order to divide their sea of enemies and give themselves time in which to digest Syria. They’ll play nice for a few weeks, at most.
NB – an exception was made for Iran’s embassy, which was sacked]
⭕ In the Middle East, there’s a troubling eagerness to elevate leaders to near-mythical status, erecting statues and celebrating them as saviors. Yet, when those same leaders fall, the celebrations shift to their downfall. Why glorify a living leader in the first place for simply doing the job they’re supposed to—serving the country? Leadership is service, not deification.
⭕ The ‘axis of resistance’ has achieved far more strategically in a decade against very powerful enemies than critics are willing to recognise or admit, no matter how desperate they are to downplay its impact.
🔻 C1: The axis of resistance has indeed accomplished much. But its downfall was not due to the lack of strategic brilliance, it is the corruption and perfidy of its so-called leaders Russia and Iran. And the misplaced trust the resistance had in them.
🔻 EM: It has survived for a long time but there were fatal mistakes, like all states and non-state players who were/are involved in the Middle East.

💠@imetatronink:
⭕ 🤔 I have long been of the opinion that Russia’s Syrian bases represent strategic imperatives for Moscow.

I am now revisiting that assumption in the context of potential open war between Russia and the US.

I have not yet reached a conclusion, but I am thinking about it …
🔻 C1: Potential open war between US and Russia can have many scenarios. However the only scenario that can have a conclusive outcome is that of an ICBM exchange. And all the other scenarios would necessarily eventually lead to the afromentioned scenario.
🔻 WS: I’ve given the question a lot of thought. I vacillate between conclusions.
📜 To Nuke or Not to Nuke?
🔻 C2: Turkey, indeed, the Turkish Sultan, wants a piece of Syria. Maybe he’s negotiating with Russia. Let’s not forget that the Turks sell armaments to Israel, although the Sultan accuses them of genocide.
🔻 WS: Everyone in the region is already laying claim to what they consider to be their own.
🔻 C3: Paul Craig Roberts says the initiative is in the hand of the West

US Opens a Third Front Against Russia

🔻 WS: I do not find Roberts’ analysis compelling, and I have not for years — except for when he cites me verbatim without attribution, which he has done on multiple occasions.
[PCR was proven right on this theatre. OK, I’ve got a soft spot for the old fella]
🔻 C3: Who has the strategic initiative today?
🔻 WS: At this point in time, the Russians indisputably hold the strategic initiative over the collective west in every meaningful respect.
🔻 C4: Sorry, final thought. Precisely when Iran & Russia each demonstrate military capabilities beyond expectation & beyond the West’s, both countries, even as they use this to deter escalation & buy time, find their strategic position undercut…
🔻 WS: I do not subscribe to the conclusion that Russia’s and Iran’s strategic position has been impaired in the least.

I don’t understand at all why so many people are rushing to that conclusion. I perceive no basis for it.
🔻 C5: their ability to fuel in the Mediterranean is quite important, but I don’t really understand how any of this was let to happen and of course the propaganda is thick
🔻 WS: In the context of an open war between Russia and the US, why would a Russian surface naval presence in the Mediterranean be essential or even important?

I have not yet arrived at an answer to this question, but it is one I am contemplating.
🔻 C5: perhaps it isnt but it seems key to not be trapped without fuel if Turkiye closes the Straits
🔻 WS: Non sequitur.

The only pertinent question is whether or not a Russian surface naval presence in the Mediterranean affords a meaningful strategic military asset in the context of an open war against the US/NATO.
🔻 C5: NATO has put a whole lot of effort into denying Russia naval bases on the Med, they must think it is important
🔻 WS: The empire views everything as a zero-sum game. But here at the end of 2024, that is no longer true — at least it’s not true for the other major powers on the planet.

I repeat: if the US decides it wants to make a play to gain “full control” over the western Levant, Russia and China will stand clear and let them try.
🔻 C5: The Russian naval presence in the Mediterranean would not last five days in war. (Surface fleet)
🔻 WS: Neither would the US fleet.
🔻 C6: In that context it is not essential and most certainly not “existential”. Others have pointed out the importance of the bases to RF interests in Africa. Losing them is bad optics but sometimes you have to take the “L”.
🔻 C7: And in the meantime 🇺🇸 builds the its largest European base in 🇷🇴
🔻 WS: Against the overwhelming will of the Romanian people, and within easy striking distance of Russian territory.

No US bases in eastern Europe will survive the first day of a war against Russia.
🔻 Brandon: It’s not important. If necessary, they’ll peel out of there. It just means that they will fight to the death over Sevastopol and Kaliningrad ports. Because, let’s face it, the plan for NATO is to push them out of ALL of the warm water ports
🔻 WS: Sevastopol and Kaliningrad are eminently defensible. The US Navy could not operate in the Baltic, Black, or eastern Mediterranean seas in the event of war against Russia. Nor could they operate in the Persian Gulf.
🔻 Brandon: Russia had better build more of those systems then because my understanding is that there are only 4-5 Oreshniks and the NATO leadership is obsessed with the Warm Water Ports. It’ll take more than a handful of Oreshniks to break their mental illness
🔻 WS: Oreshniks are irrelevant to the discussion.

The Russians wouldn’t use Oreshniks to defeat an attempted blockade of its various ports.

And I challenge anyone to present a credible plan for NATO to deprive Russia of its seafaring power.
🔻 Brandon: You saw it in 2010, when the USG attempted to pressure the Kiev gov to not renew the lease of the Russkie base at Sevastopol. You’re seeing it again in Syria. Now that Finland and Sweden are in NATO they’re going to try to figure out a way to squeeze Kaliningrad.
🔻 WS: I repeat:

I challenge anyone to present a credible plan for NATO to deprive Russia of its seafaring power.

NATO is an empty shell. The US Navy is incapable of projecting decisive power into any seas within Russian missile range, nor into the Persian Gulf, nor the China seas.
🔻 Brandon: I’m telling you the deluded few who purport to run the West, have convinced themselves that this Warm Water Port Rollback strategy is the silver bullet needed to oust Russia as real world power. It’s insane. And dumb. But that’s what they believe. Because we’re led by children.
🔻 WS: In their minds, it’s always still September 2, 1945 in Tokyo Bay.
🔻 C8: Apparently the ports are an important link in Russia’s logistics support for its operations in Africa.
🔻 WS: The Bosporus is not closed to Russian cargo ships. And the cessation of war in Ukraine will reopen the straits to Russian warships as well, per the Montreux Convention.
🔻 C9: Focused on victory in Ukraine, Russia may have abandoned Syria, facing Turkey, NATO, and Israel. In a full conflict, defending their Syrian bases seems unlikely. Turkey has outmaneuvered Russia and Iran—checkmate?
🔻 WS: I’m not even sure what Turkey is doing. All I’m certain of is that they are in way over their heads.
🔻 C10: On balance it is still highly unlikely that the 2nd Cold War will become hot. And if it doesn´t, not completely losing the Near East IS a definitive strategic imperative for Moscow. And they WILL lose the Near East entirely, if they lose Syria. I hope they understand that.
[this was before Damascus fell]
🔻 WS: What do they lose? How is Russia’s strategic posture impaired by vacating its bases in Syria?
🔻 C10: Man, you are wayyyyy too intelligent to ask such a question.
1. Russia cannot POLITICALLY afford to lose a country where it has a military base. The diplomatic/psychological importance cannot be overstated.

2. Like Cold War I, Cold War II is a zero sum game on a global map. And it is won or lost on points. (Like Go, unlike Chess.) Russia cannot afford to focus on Eastern Europe alone. It must contest every region (together with China). Losing…

…a couple regions like the Near East entirely means losing the game.
🔻 WS: This is utter nonsense. We are not entering Cold War 2. We are witnessing the end of an empire and the return to a balance of powers multipolar world.
🔻 C11: Until full-on war, it’s the most direct line to Africa–AND to Venezuela, Nicaragua, Brazil–major shipping routes for all Russian products using Black Sea ports, thereby increasing reliance on Baltic & INSTC via Iran. Reputational loss in Global South, ⬆️reliance on land routes.
🔻 WS: Russian seaborne trade via the Mediterranean has not been interrupted, nor would it be if they left Tartus tomorrow.
🔻 C11: It could be, more easily than Baltic trade. And if this latest move demonstrates that they have no leverage over Turkey, then the bases will be a symptom not a cause of strategic weakening. As might be a further pro-NATO shift by Turkey on UKR. Peacekeepers, anyone?
🔻 WS: Turkey will not close the Bosporus to Russian shipping. And Erdogan won’t live much longer.
[what is this fixation. Does he have Sicilian or Arab blood? “There Must Be Blood”]
🔻 C12: If Russia sees Istanbul as the hilt of a Turkic kilij spreading across the mid-east and central Asia into China, a real 21st century Eurasian regional player, then having access to a southern warm water port should Turkiye ever close the Bosphorus would be a useful card.
🔻 WS: The Turkish straits are a valuable income-producing asset. But they only make money when ships move through them.
🔻 C12: No doubt it would be an extreme situation before Turkiye closed the straits, but not one beyond comprehension as this chaotic first half of the century unfolds.

A stone on the board of west Asia has potential and cultivating that is this century’s Great Game.
[this latter point is eschatological. This is coming. The closing of the Bosporos to Russia. I posted Greek Orthodox prophesies on the matter months ago – that Russia would fight Turkey, and not for the sake of (NATO) Greece. An islamic coalition from land and Russian Navy would storm Constantinople…]
🔻 C13: Withdrawal of Russian forces from Syria signals a major strategic defeat.
If Russian forces remain, the collapse of Syria was prearranged.

With Hamas destroyed and Hezbollah defeated, the fall of Syria is a strategic defeat.
🔻 WS: I am not disagreeing, but I invite you to defend the proposition that Russia withdrawing from its Syrian bases constitutes a “major strategic defeat” at this point in time, given the now-altered parameters of long-range Russian strike capabilities in Europe and the Middle East.
🔻 C13: As stated before.
If the naval base remains, regime change was prearranged with Türkiye.
If Russia withdraws, major strategic defeat for Russia.

Russia doesn’t need submarines in an enclosed space as Mediterranean.
Shore complexes in Crimea can wipe out anything there.
🔻 WS: Why would a Russian withdrawal from its Syrian bases represent a “major strategic defeat”?

I don’t think you understand the potential importance of Russian attack subs against US/NATO ships and subs in the Mediterranean.
🔻 C13: I understand where you are coming from and agree Russia could be cutting Syria in anticipation for a much larger Europe wide nato war.
Its WWIII and Russia will defend itself first before anyone else.

The result however is that Russia has been expelled from the Mediterranean.
🔻 WS: There hasn’t been any “expulsion from the Mediterranean” at this point — and there may not be.

And besides, you can’t “expel” the Russian submarine fleet from the Mediterranean. It will remain no matter what.
🔻 C13: You just mentioned long range missiles yourself.
Nothing on the surface of the Mediterranean would survive land based complexes in Crimea and the Caucasus.
As for submarines, they will be busy in the Atlantic.
🔻 WS: Russian attack subs would be necessary to hunt and destroy US missile subs in the Mediterranean.
🔻 C13: Leaving Syria is a major strategic defeat.
How is it not?
Russian forces and assets on the ground, now Russian forces and assets won’t be.
🔻 WS: How would Russia’s strategic posture be impaired by vacating its bases in Syria?
🔻 C13: It would not be impaired in Russia, only West Asia and the Mediterranean.
In a conventional war, this would be needed.

I’m not sure why are you arguing.
America left Afghanistan, has their strategic posture changed in America?
No.
But they’re no longer in Afghanistan.
🔻 WS: I am engaging in an intellectual inquiry, as I clearly stated in my initial post.

Why would Russia’s Syrian bases be important in a conventional war against the US?
🔻 C13: Perhaps you haven’t noticed but Türkiye is the US and the US is Türkiye.

Now the war is exclusively in the Caucasus.
🔻 WS: No, I had not noticed that, nor do I believe it is true.
🔻 C14: not so sure about Russia withdrawing. |link|
🔻 WS: Me, neither. I’m simply working through an intellectual exercise.
🔻 C13: 2nd.
Iran is next.
The destruction of Iran or regime change completely ends BRICS+.
The fact that Iran allowed its allies, Hamas and Hezbollah get destroyed and Syria to fall, means regime change is now 90‰

Remember Pres. #Raisi was murdered and everyone lied about it.
🔻 WS: This is misinformed silly talk.
[but this is internal nazi/zionazi narrative atm. And they act based on their own spun delusions]
🔻 C13: Odd statement.
Are you under the impression that the “resistance” is “gaining ground”?
🔻 WS: Hezbollah savaged the IDF in southern Lebanon. They are hardly “defeated”.
🔻 C13: The child rapists suffered casualties, sure they did.
But the objective was clearly not to conquer Lebanese territory but degrade Hezbollah, which they did.
Hence the fall of Syria.
Hezbollah accepted surrender and continued bombing with no response.
What do you call that?
🔻 WS: Child rapists? What?
🔻 C15: Russia and Iran are retreating from Syria because in the coming war with the US they would be easy targets there. The Iranian-Russian war effort will have to be conducted from the Iranian-Iraqi territories
🔻 WS: Well, your rationale could be correct, but your premise remains unfounded: there is no evidence, as of yet, that Russia and Iran are “retreating” from Syria. They may do so, but it hasn’t happened yet.
[written before Damascus fell]
🔻 C15: They have clearly instructed their proxy (SAA) to stand down. That’s a retreat. I don’t think they will keep a lot of forces in a Turkish-dominated Syria. Their forces will be vulnerable to US attacks once the inevitable Middle Eastern war breaks out. We’ll see whether I’m right.
[and this is an excellent POV. Iran and Russia were never doing bulk of ground fighting. They can continue from a distance – missiles/bombing/dronification/ISR, and few C&C on the ground, for the next round]
🔻 C16: Russia’s defense has emphasized missiles and air defense to guard its homeland, not foreign bases to guard an empire. Nor does Russia need ME oil.
🔻 C10: This is a global zero sum game. Russia cannot afford to lose the Near East, because it cannot afford to let America get full control over the Near East. And it has to protect its allies or it will have no allies. This is serious.
🔻 WS: The US cannot “get full control” over the Near East. The very idea is ludicrous. It simply could not be done. The US does not have the power projection capability to “get full control” over ANY overseas region.
🔻 C10: The Near East is a power vacuum if Russia leaves.
It doesn´t take much to fully control a power vacuum.
Apart from Israel, near easterners themselves have zero agency. I think you underestimate that fact.
[bingo]
🔻 WS: You grossly overestimate US power projection capability.

And you clearly do not appreciate this reality: 📜 All for One and One for All
[and Will underappreciates the satanic profiling and control systems achieved by the British Empire over the Turks and desert bedouins…]
🔻 C10: Ah, you misunderstand my position:
1. The Chinese and Russians are clearly winning.
2. BUT you CAN lose a won game, if you get careless and start making catastrophic mistakes
3. You do not need much power to control an empty region. Without Russian presence the Near East is empty
🔻 WS: If the US decides it wants to attempt to “get full control” of the Near East, the Russians and Chinese will gladly cater their meals.
[(1) Will assumes this is being done for the US. And he forgets the demons fight for every inch of land, having house money in terms of sea of zombie proxies]
🔻 C10: They have near full control already.
I mean I don´t like their empire (obviously) and we both agree it is weaker than most think, but they still control a few regions nearly completely. And this includes the Near East.
Because let´s not kid ourselves: Arabs count for nothing.
🔻 WS: Here are the essential facts of the current geostrategic situation:

China controls its local seas.

Russia controls its local seas.

Iran controls its local seas.

If the US wants to make a play to control the western Levant, none of those three major powers will object.
🔻 C10: The problem is that the game is played and won or lost on the world map, not on local maps of Russia, China and Iran.
I very much hope for them that they understand this.
🔻 WS: I would submit that everything Russia, China, and Iran have done since hot global war erupted in February 2022 — and especially in recent months — leans strongly to the conclusion that they understand perfectly well the scope, stakes, and potential long duration of this conflict.
🔻 C10: It IS existential, if you perceive the big picture.
If Russia lets Assad hang out to dry, all prospective allies in Latin America, Africa, South East Asia will desert.
🔻 WS: No they won’t. Because the alternatives are even worse.

And most of them are wise enough to understand that you cannot permit “perfect” to be the enemy of “good enough”.
🔻 C10: Well, Russian performance in Syria was not nearly good enough.
🔻 WS: Apparently it was good enough for them, for as long as it was deemed necessary.

But Russian sovereign interests are not best served by perpetuating the mistakes of the crumbling colonial empires of the early 20th century.
[agreed. They performed heroically. It was on the locals, and other civilizational-states, to do their part]
🔻 C17: Do you think the Russians are overextended, or are they throwing in the cards because they see limited benefit? Seems like precision hypersonic targeting has rendered traditional military bases somewhat obsolete, if you ask me.
🔻 WS: I think they’ve probably struck a deal with the Turks.
🔻 C18: How abandoning an ally in their hour of need should be seen? How would they be trusted to form other alliances in the future?
🔻 WS: In what fashion has Russia abandoned any ally in its hour of need?

The Russian air force has been flying almost around-the-clock combat sorties in behalf of a Syrian army that has abandoned its own territory as fast as possible.
🔻 C19: Is it possible Russia has made a deal with Israel to keep its base in Syria in return for allowing the overthrow of Assad?
🔻 WS: Highly improbable.

The Israelis are in no position to make deals with the Russians at this time.

I roll my eyes at everyone who makes the Israelis out to be big-time power brokers. Relative to its many enemies, Israel is weaker at this moment than at any time since 1948.
🔻 C20: I don’t think this is an option for Russia. Of course defending the heartland is what is in Russia‘s DNA. But the Empire of Hate does not allow her to restrict herself to bordering conflicts. If Russia wants to survive it MUST go global: wars, allies, weapons, the full program.
🔻 WS: Russia lacks the power to do what you propose. Her capability to project power globally is very limited.

But she can defend herself.

If Russia starts trying to defeat enemies in every corner of the world, she will destroy herself.
🔻 C21: True. Time & again collective west, sort of empire we talk about, has acted in unison in so far as their domination interests go. Be it allied nations or nato alliance or always coming together in conflicts since WW2 till now. Whereas not true for sovereign respecting sovereign
⭕ ‼️ When the Chickens Come Home to Roost

It took a little over a century, but the terms of the ill-conceived partition of the post-WW1 Ottoman Empire will now be revisited.

It will not proceed peacefully.
🔻 C1: Great to bring up the initial Sykes-Picot plan for remembrance
🔻 WS: It is VERY pertinent. The events of today quite literally trace their origins to the clueless fashion the UK, France et al. carved up the Ottoman Empire a century ago.
[far from clueless. Cut up with exquisite satanic calculation. And it won them a century of arab servitude, still ongoing, although not for long..]
🔻 DrWolf @aestheticTerror: I’m not sure that was clueless, proces of decolonising has been pretty much the same everywhere. They carve up the territories in such a way to make them unstable so they can set the region on fire and reinstate their influece whenever they want…
🔻 C2: Mr. Willy, does this mean that Russia will share a border with Turkey? (first picture)
🔻 WS: Not sure how Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia would feel about that, not to mention the Turks, and Iranians, and Kurds.

⭕ 🇷🇺🇸🇾 In the context of the fall (https://t.me/rybar/66131) of the Bashar Assad regime, everyone is interested in a simple question: what about Russia?

• The coastal cities of Latakia and Tartus have not been affected by combat operations. There was sporadic gunfire overnight, but this can be attributed to the traditional Arab celebratory gunfire in view of the victory of the opposition-terrorist forces.

📌A few days ago, terrorists from the “Islamic Party of Turkestan” tried to advance in the mountainous Latakia, but the fighting ended before it even began. Apparently, the order was given not to move towards the coast.

• Both in Tartus and Latakia, Alawites, Shiites, and Christians from all over the country have fled. In essence, the coastal region is turning into a new ethno-confessional enclave.
• Questions arise about the whereabouts of the 25th Special Forces Division led by Suheil al-Hassan: it is quite possible that the units of the 25th Division were withdrawn precisely to the coastal region, taking up positions on the mountain passes and key highways.
• Russian military facilities throughout the rest of Syria have been scaled down, and the contingent has been withdrawn towards Hmeimim. Decisions have already been made to return some units to Russia, while others remain. Given the rapidly changing situation, the Russian army contingent will naturally undergo changes.
• Separate security and support units at strategically important facilities in central Syria still remain. But according to data on the Internet, the militants are bypassing them. Open sources have only shown footage of a couple of abandoned Russian Armed Forces positions and command posts, with no desecration of military facilities at all.

📍The HTS terrorists have already stated that they will not tolerate the presence of foreign military bases on Syrian territory. But if the status of the so-called Alawistan is similar to that of Transeufrates, then there will be no conflict here.

📌Given the insider information (https://t.me/ne_rybar/3545) on the results of the negotiations, the chances of forming a separate Alawistan / LaTartus / LAOS (https://t.me/Mestb_Dobroj_Voli/13683) (Latakia Autonomous District of Syria) do exist. How it will be implemented in practice and whether it will be – that’s a good question.

Last week I was convinced this Syria thing was about Russia, and an attempt to put it on a collision course with Israel, as a way to force Trump into war with Russia, as a step on the way to a major attack on Iran.
–
Maybe Russia and Iran could have saved Assad at the cost of many thousands of soldiers and billions in equipment and munitions. But wouldn’t that compromise their defenses elsewhere, and divert attention from the major strategic assets of the anti-Western alliance?

If this is a game of chess, this whole thing could have been an attempted check, in preparation for a checkmate – a big offensive against Teheran’s heart and head.

It may very well be that the decision by Russia and Iran to not walk into the Usraeli trap was a very elegant and wise play.

Iran and Russia did not lose one soldier or any amount of vital assets over this. They are at their full readiness. And now the West has to sort out Syria, explain to the world what it’s doing there, and pay for its rehabilitation. Does this sound like such a bad deal?

💠 @Marx Engels Lenin Institute:
⭕ Several points need to be made here in relation to the Syrian situation.

1) This does not mean that the decline of US imperialism is reversed. It has just revealed that it still has the ability to cause a lot of damage but the decline is still very much permanent.

2) Multipolarity is already a fact and cannot be reversed now regardless of the victory of the imperialists in Syria.

3) The US has still lost and the war in Ukraine but the lesson the Russians will have to draw from this bitter experience is that no agreements signed with imperialism or its proxies are worth the paper they are written on. Certainly not agreements that leave enemy forces intact and able to be brought back into play later on.

4) Too many people who just two weeks ago were telling everyone “US IS DEAD” will now say “US CANNOT BE BEATEN”. The reality is that the decline of US imperialism is a slow process and its final defeat must be brought about in the US itself by the proletariat.

5) No one else is going to do the work of liberating us from decaying imperialism. Not China, not Russia and nor should it be the case that our struggle gets outsourced. Too many people invest all their hopes that (somehow) multipolarism will just win and struggle will not be required. The defeat of imperialism will require an arduous fight and this must not be forgotten.  [bless our commies. They keep both their beady eyes on the prize]

💠 @Fotros Resistance:
⭕ ✏️ Why Did Syria Fall So Quick & Where Was Iran?

It’s safe to say that everyone is shocked on the events in Syria. Nobody expected for this to happen now—well, that’s actually not true.

6 months ago, the leader of Iran (Imam Khamenei) had warned Bashar Assad regarding the uprise of HTS—but Assad ignored them.

Let’s examine what happened & how it happened.

When ISIS emerged in Syria and the security situation became dire, the Syrian government formally requested assistance from Iran. Iran’s presence in Syria was framed within an advisory role, meaning the Syrian army and military forces themselves were the ones fighting the terrorists, while Iranian advisors supported them.

Although Iran was at times required to send limited special forces (such as IRGCQF) due to specific circumstances, its primary role remained advisory.

At the time, ISIS was advancing in such a way that when friendly forces supporting Assad entered the battlefield, they were welcomed by the people. This public support, combined with the Syrian army’s (SAA) presence and Iran’s advisory efforts at Syria’s official request, ultimately stopped the ISIS threat. In 2017, the end of ISIS’ rule was announced, mainly due to the efforts by Qassem Soleimani.

Following the defeat of ISIS, Iran’s advisory presence naturally decreased, as the Syrian government wanted its own forces to take full responsibility for securing the country.

But what lead next is important:

1. The Transformation of Terrorist Groups — From Wahhabi to Ottomanic Centralisation

Extremist groups shifted strategies, they abandoned their overt violent “face” and adopted a more of a diplomatic facade, obviously they were still the same ISIS mentally-ill creatures. This is when the center of power influence shifted from Saudi Arabia to Turkiye, which I wrote more about in another tweet.

Meanwhile, the Syrian public began supporting the SAA less and less against these groups as they once did. In some areas, such as Aleppo, doors were opened to rebels but closed to the army. This is the direct result of a successful hybrid warfare strategy by Syria’s enemies.

2. Weakening of the SAA:

The Syrian military faced various challenges, including ideological, economic, and morale-related issues, leading to low motivation to confront terrorists. Unlike before, when Iranian advisors supported motivated Syrian forces, this time the SAA lacked the will to fight, with many units collapsing at the first sign of confrontation.

3. Bashar al-Assad’s Stance Shifted from Resistance Nexus to GCC:

The most significant change was within Assad himself. In his last meeting with Iran’s Leader on June 10, approximately 6 months ago, the Leader warned Assad:

“The West and their regional allies aimed to overthrow Syria’s political system through war and remove Syria from the regional equation but failed. Now, they seek to achieve this goal through other means [Hybrid Warfare], including false promises they will never fulfill.”

This warning reflected a deep understanding of the situation. Even before the ground war in Lebanon, Iran had repeatedly told Assad to strengthen his forces in light of the growing terrorist threat (by Turkish-backed groups) and provided formal suggestions, but Assad ignored all of these warnings. Assad also started siding with the GCC (the Gulf Arabs) & they exercised pressure on him to distance himself from Iran & the resistance.

This pattern continued until Assad was on the verge of collapse. Iran had high-ranking officials to negotiate with Assad on Iran’s commitment to strengthening Assad’s position. However, a critical strategic error pushed Assad towards his downfall: The placing of hope in promises from Arab actors in the region…

When Iran recognized Assad’s reluctance for field support, it decided against intervening directly but continued to persuade him until the last moment.

Unfortunately, Assad realised the empty promises only when it was too late.

This is only to put the timeline into perspective & doesn’t include any analysis or strategic thought.
⭕ — Some additional short bulletin points that did not fit in the post:

• Ali Larijani reportedly offered him pre-set conditions 2 weeks ago in Damascus. Bashar didn’t agree with them and even refused to meet with Larijani—Iran’s special envoy—when he returned to Damascus Friday Dec 6.

• Bashar Assad refused to open the Golan front, despite being asked to by the resistance groups.

• The Assad government, after becoming too close with the Gulf Arabs, had put a lot of restrictions on IRGCQF, this sparkled dissatisfaction.

• Ex-IRGCQF officer claimed Iran intel knew since 2 months ago that rebel groups in Idlib were up to something. He claims Iranians shared their worries with Turkey, but “Turks deceived them and assured Iranians there’s nothing to be afraid of—Should not have trusted the Turks.

• The situation in Syria has not ended and it’s going spark unrest. Especially between Kurdish SDF vs Turkish-backed rebel groups (e.g. HTS) AND inner fights among rebel groups.
⭕️ Israeli army: We struck around 100 targets inside Syria in the past few hours.

🇸🇾| Syrian “rebel” regime: We condemn Israel’s aggressive behaviour but we cannot focus on them right now. We need to free Syria from Assad.

— Literally nobody is defending Syrian airspace (or grounds) at this moment. So Israel is destroying all important infrastructure such as facilities and airports.  |media|

💠 @Middle East Spectator:
⭕ — 🇸🇾/🇮🇷 NEW: ‘Iran warned Assad two months ago that HTS was preparing to make a move, but he dismissed the threat. So the Turkish Foreign Minister gave us assurances that nothing will take place, which turned out to be a lie. After HTS entered Western Aleppo, Iran expected Assad to ask for military assistance, and we were fully prepared to oblige with troops and whatever else was needed – but no such request came. After Aleppo fell, it became clear that Assad had no real intentions of staying in power, so we started to engage in diplomatic talks with the opposition, and arranged the safe exit of our troops from Syria. If the SAA does not fight, neither will we risk our soldiers’ lives. Russia and the UAE had managed to convince him to step down, so there was nothing we could do.’ – Iranian Officials
[Wow. A proper shitshow. Arab blames Iran. Iran blames Arabs and Russia. Will blamed Russia. This is too much. Let’s call the whole thing off. Return to imperial shackles mankind! This generation may be unfit]
⭕️ Channel 12, citing sources:
Israeli security services believe that Assad prevented Iranian attacks on Israel from Syrian territory
⭕️ — It’s now widely known that Iran, Hezbollah and other Shia factions asked Assad for permission to open a front in the Golan Heights after October 7th to support the resistance in Gaza & Lebanon.

However, Assad refused, reportedly saying he did not want to drag Syria into a possible open confrontation with Israel & he did not want to risk jeopardizing his normalization progress with the Gulf States.
⭕️ Yemen’s Ansarullah reveals more about Assad: ‘He closed our embassy in Damascus, in exchange for Saudi Arabia letting him open a Saudi embassy there’

💠 @Strategika51:
⭕ Damascus security complex still ablaze after bombing by Empire fighter jets AFTER the fall of Damascus, not before…
⭕️ A source close to the Netanyahu government: “we’re all going to Damascus”.
[And to Egypt, KSA, Iraq and Iran. Simply unfit. BUT .. after the Ashes, and end of the West, it will be a new ballgame altogether. First, Russkie Bear’s date with Destiny. “The Russians are Coming” cried a man plunging 16 floors off his asylum window]
⭕ Israeli forces take control of Syrian border posts on Mount Hermon (with anti-Lebanon). The plan takes shape.
⭕ 40 years ago, we had a lively debate on the propensity of Arabs to be fooled by the partition of the Middle East in the wake of the First World War (1914-1918) and the Sykes-Picot Accords. We came to the same conclusion as we do today when we see all those masses of zombies believing that the Syrian rebellion is going to liberate the Golan Heights or help Palestine. It would be laughable if it weren’t so unfortunate.
⭕ Some of the channels we follow naively believe that Iraq is independent, whereas it is still under US protectorate. The fall of Syria will have no influence on an Iraq that is already unstructured and de facto divided.
What is likely to be interesting, however, is the fate of the Iranian regime, whose future depends on Donald Trump’s willingness to explore the murky links between one of the two Iranian powers and the US deep state. It’s a safe bet that even these links won’t save Iran from a big surprise as early as January 2025. The Iranians’ only hope is that their president will initiate a regime transition and once again tie Iran to Washington’s sphere of influence, as in the Shah’s time. Apart from this scenario, there is no chance of Iran surviving what follows.
[Oh something will survive. Both the (ostensible human-form) birth of the Moshiach in Isfahan, and the final death stroke of Zion, were prophesied to originate from Iran. Beautiful days ahead]
⭕ All military sites in Syria are under attack in a kind of major air campaign similar to that which targeted Iraq in January 1991.

 [Magnier puts in perspective the lot of the Arab today. These words were uttered by the arab Imam Ali of the Shia. The shame of Al Assad.. yet even having contempt for him, the Resistance didn’t abandon him, but it was he that opened the gates to the barbarian Hordes and stood down the men.]
