You can read this article in German. LINK
The intensity of the conflict in Syria’s northeast refuses to die down, as more and more strikes are carried out targeting each involved party’s interests.
For its part, MSM reports on all of these, but many of them are presented in a light, much different from reality.
On March 23rd, a video emerged showing the Damascus government forces conduct a strike on Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
The shelling targeted the terrorist fortifications and depots. MSM, in conjunction with various Western-backed organizations such as the “International Rescue Committee”, shifted the story and claimed that a civilian hospital had been struck.
As such, the narrative is this – the “Bloody Assad Regime” is back at it, targeting civilians and killing its own people.
As might be expected this media campaign is part of the attempts by the US to rebrand HTS as a “former terrorist” and now reformed organization, in order to have another ally, in a different part of Syria.
The Damascus government’s recent punishment of HTS and the Turkish-backed militants in northeastern Syria is happening with Russian support and is part of a wider push to liberate more areas of Syria.
Ankara is dissatisfied with this, even summoning the Russian Ambassador to complain about the severe strikes that Moscow had carried out on terrorist targets.
The Turkish side insists that artillery and air strikes on positions and infrastructure of Turkish-funded terrorists in Greater Idlib violated the ‘de-escalation agreement’. No mentions were made of the violations that are frequently carried out by these same terrorists.
Turkey would like to continue to enjoy the smuggled oil it used to receive from the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.
The United States, still benefits from that smuggled oil. On March 23rd, a convoy of more than 300 tankers left Syria’s Hasaka region and entered Iraq.
Washington’s oil repatriation is not proceeding without a hitch either. On March 23rd, several rockets hit a US military base near the Conico oil field in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor. Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen TV reported that the US suffered casualties. Little else is known.
Being subject to rocket strikes, and having convoys hit by IEDs was commonplace in Iraq, but it appears that it has now also come to plague Washington’s forces in Syria.
The profits from that smuggled oil could potentially be used to cover a recent loss by the US – an MQ-9 Reaper was downed in Yemen, by Ansar Allah.
Despite officially not supporting the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen, the Biden Administration appears to still be up to Washington’s old activities.
The Houthis, as Ansar Allah is commonly known, are riding high due to their recent successes and continue their regular drone strikes on various Saudi positions and infrastructure behind enemy lines.
The Abha Airport, alongside other locations in the south of the Kingdom, is subject to frequent attacks.
Riyadh is providing ample opposition, carrying out approximately 30 or more airstrikes each day. Still, it would seem that the Saudi-led coalition is being steadily pushed back.
So why is Russia building nuclear power plants in NATO-member Turkey?
Why is Putin enabling an Islamist NATO country right on its borders, to become a nuclear power?
NATO is the mortal enemy of Russia and Russia is essentially delivering additional nuclear capability to an *Islamist* Jihadi faction of NATO, namely Turkey!
Are Russians out of their minds? They keep voting for Putin.
Well, thank you Russians, and thank you Putin. You’re our hero.
Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.
Russian nuclear power plants and S400 systems require Russian specialists so they know Turkey’s capabilities. Letting NATO give them everything keeps them in the dark.
Yes make Israel bomb Turkey.
By your reasoning, NATO should sell F-35 jets to the Russians because Russians would need Americans to service them. Americans also ought to demand that Russians pay for the American jets in Russian rubles with which Americans can bolster their foreign currency reserves.
Unwoke arguments, Mr. Troll. The Red Pill simply doesn’t work. You are providing plenty of evidence to that effect.
dullard granny—more false equivalence your stoopidities have taken on farcical proportions…granny can’t find sexual attention in Idlib?
Is this the ghost of Yeltsin? 👻
NO THAT WAS A GOOD ARGUMENT, NOTWITHSTANDING YOUR RIDICULOUS ANALOGY.
You seem minimally intelligent, but you make yourself look stupid by denying anything that doesn’t fit your small minded beLIEfs.
It was Obomber who sent in the head choppers, but you thank someone who destroys the US proxies?
Projection seems to be a Neo-con thing.
Russia is not destroying US proxies. The Jihadi headchoppers have been transported to Idlib in their millions in airconditioned buses BY THE RUSSIANS THEMSELVES.
The Russians could annihilate the Jihadis in Idlib in a few days. Instead, the Russians only kill a few Jihadis a month just to be able to claim that they are fighting the Islamic terrorists.
How many times the Russians prevented the Syrian army from capturing Idlib? COUNTLESS times.
You are weak, troll. And the Red Pill doesn’t work.
Russia is NATO’s bitch, as you boys like to say.
Jihadis are all nicely cornered in a kill box. They are killed when needed. We’d like to do the same in Mumbai too with the hendu-pak if we can get away with it no?….lol….you know, if it ain’t Persian, is no good Diana doc…..lol
Well, Last I looked you Persians were trading in gold with the Turks in order to avoid American sanctions, when you are not chafing at the bit to take your veil off the moment you step into that plane to Istanbul or Antalya. You also helped the Turks and the Azeris to massacre Armenians again recently, claiming that Armenian lands belonged to the Turks.
You Persians betrayed your own Zoroastrian culture and tradition by adopting the perverted Islamic religion of the barbaric Arabs. So I don’t buy your claims of superiority or righteousness.
You Persians are not better than the Mongols or the Turks.
Oh come on…Islam lies in tatters, in case you haven’t noticed it yet. You think Iranians haven’t noticed it too? You must be joking. What Khamenei is doing today is what Khosrow Shah would be doing in 610 AD. The difference is merely cosmetic.
Khamenei is not challenging Islam. He’d be hanged from a construction crane if he were. What nonsense. Nobody rejects Islam in Iran. At best, they wanna have a drink or two and maybe engage in sexual intercourse out of wedlock.
Turkey will become like Iran in a couple of decades. You people in the Middle East hate freedom, peace and happiness. You’d happily kill yourselves if you knew that would kill ten of your neighbours as well.
Most people are not religious, I’m sure you’ve noticed in your various trips no? Actually the Zoroastrian ones are far more religious and conservative.
Sure, I agree about the Zoroastrians being more principled. Islam is corruption and depravity codified.
I would agree that Zoroastrians are far more righteous people than Muslims. Islam is perversion codified. Yes, most people are not much more than headless chicken chasing iPhones. Iranians included.
Now you listen here…….with both Russia/ China heavily sanctioned, this gives us the opportunity to pull shit around the region with near impunity. Our stock’s goin up daily. Things need to get done, starting with busting down that lizard shack in Riyadh. Once we do that, then its smooth sailing. Guppu moghal been cornered by both Russia and China and bankrupt. Pakistan neutralized by hendu/ US machinations….Sawdi is terrified to even react to our daily attacks… We need to be diplomatic about this, so we don’t get rejected by the masses within the region. We need them to accept us, like they did during the Sassanian times. Slowly the reclamation takes shape. Slow and steady wins the race.
I don’t think so. The other guys know all that you know as well. What always happens is, the little people on all sides die by the millions and lose everything, while the leadership (on both sides) claims they won because they’re still alive.
Occasionally heads roll. Small compensation for the millions dead.
In this age of unparalleled destructive power available to all sides, MAD is assured, whether slow or fast.
I’m sorry but I find the current crop of Persians to be ridiculously inept and devious people who are destroying themselves first. No nation who clings to Islam as a reaction to America, can be said to be sane.

You are being picked off one by one by the Israeli Jews, even inside Iran proper. Have you been able to kill even ONE Israeli? You can’t deny that.
lol…..we’re massed on the border of the Zionists……..evoke the army of Haman! you fool, I have to hold your hand every time now? Do I need to teach you Zartoshti? It’s coming back, and nothing can stop it anymore. Iran Shah will be brought back to Yazd soon.
projecting your own hatreds of freedom and peace—you anglos—the least happy on the earth
Slav=Slave
Russia’s capital is in Tel Aviv. Moved to Jerusalem, right?
Didn’t Putin recognize Jerusalem as the capital city? You tell me.
“Oh come on…Islam lies in tatters, in case you haven’t noticed it ye”
Oh yes we know, because scum like you are doing your best to exterminate it.
“last month, the Washington DC-based Physicians for Social Responsibility (PRS) released a landmark study concluding that the death toll from 10 years of the “War on Terror” since the 9/11 attacks is at least 1.3 million, and could be as high as 2 million.
The 97-page report by the Nobel Peace Prize-winning doctors’ group”
“The PSR report is authored by an interdisciplinary team of leading public health experts, including Dr. Robert Gould, director of health professional outreach and education at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center, and Professor Tim Takaro of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University.”
http://www.psr.org/assets/pdfs/body-count.pdf
SO maybe YOU murdered another million since this report was published ? ? Haven’t you drank enough blood you frikken vampire ? You want more ?
Too funny, calling out Iran, when you come from one of the 3 most bloodthirsty nations on the planet.
Iran has not invade or attacked any sovereign nation in the past 300 years.
UK, USA, and Israel are mass murdering scum still at it..
Attacking the messenger (avoiding the subject at hand). Address the issues raised instead, if you have any brains.
I addressed the issue. You babble about Iranian threats when YOU are the threat.
blind granny “looks” like racist fascist—you anglos are worse than everyone!
“”Russia is NATO’s bitch, as you boys like to say.”
you babble… NATO is not on control of anything. NATO is a hammer. If you knew what you were speaking off, you would have mentioned globalists who control the hammer. . You didn’t, so you are clueless, babbling ignorance as knowledge.
speculation is not fact. Neither is ignorance.
Putin works for your globalists.
Anyone with debt, works for the globalist. Either way, you speculate.
I don’t see the value in repeating what everybody knows.
You speak in circles. You also end up spouting opinions based in speculation and opinion.
What exactly, does everyone know ?
Fluoride is an unacceptable water additive because it carries harm and delivers no benefit by drinking it ?
Or that their socio economic paradigm is based around a ponzi scheme called modern banking?
That history repeats itself ?
That the covid is only a ramped up flu that kills a bit more than flu seasons does, and it is being used for ideological purpose ? Factual and obvious to anyone who thinks. But how many can think ?
Or that cyclical consumption cannot sustain?
Or that profit motive cannot sustain ?
Or that fascism is end game capitalism? And the big dog globalist has already won ?
=========================
YOU said, “No nation who clings to Islam as a reaction to America, can be said to be sane.”
First off, resisting tyranny is never insane, and it is my opinion that all religious people need be a little insane to beLIEve such bullshit as fact.
Christians kill more people than anyone else. Hands down. Started in earnest again when George Bush went to war on Islam “for god and country.” For a false flag he knew was going down.
Millions dead Muslims with US, UK, Canadian, French, Italian, et al killers counting the score.
You babble about Iran. Tool.
These asiatic mongolian turks have got the undivided attention of Russia/ China and Iran. It’s obvious we can’t turn em away from their Al-Qaeda ways. Dismantling them however is the one true option left. It will be executed at the right moment. Be patient.
Turks probatly are less mongolians then You. You are like talking to my TV, which only tranmit noise having no antenna.
Really? I’m from the city of Semnan…..so no mongol in me. You however, will be denied using mongolian turks for western mercenary purposes.
We only eat the Young ones and mainly the boy version before they becomes noisy. Their hens at least lay eggs.
You keep picking up them migrant boys in your truck buddy. That’s your lifestyle no…..to each his own.
jens talk to TRANSGENDER tv boyfriend—to much LSD
Iran, China and Russia are all helping the Turks presently.
Both Iran and Russia claimed that Armenian lands wrongfully given to the Azeri Turks in the Caucasus by the Soviet Union, actually rightfully belong to the Azeri Turks. Russia betrayed her Armenian allies, did not employ electronic warfare systems in Karabakh, and enabled the Turks to massacre 5000 Armenians and steal Armenian lands. Iran threatened to attack and kill Armenians if Armenians fought the Azeris near Iranian borders, possibly causing some minor and insignificant collateral damage in the vicinity.
Turkey and Iran have long dealt in gold trade to avoid American sanctions on Iran. Iranians like Turks. Iranians visit Turkey often and buy lots of Turkish real estate. The current Iranian leadership is Azeri Turk I believe?
China backstops the (bankrupt) Turkish financial system by granting billions of loans in hard currency to the Turks. I believe the Turks and the Chinese are principal partners in the Belt and Road Initiative, and a train recently made the Turkey-China trip as part of this international project?
It appears everyone loves your Mongols — even the Europeans and the Americans who accuse Turkey of having committed the genocide of the Christian Armenians by torturing and killing millions of them.
The real world has nothing to do with the one in your head.
The Red Pill is fake. There is no escape.
If mr pashinyan likes to suck off the west, then neither Russia nor Iran are duty bound to save it. Your false narrative holds no water. And for the record, iranians like to invest their money anywhere they want to. They also buy property in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Same in Mumbai and Shanghai and kuala lump per. Same in London or Vancouver. We don’t know what yous in about here no?
So you’re saying the Mollahs or their associates have flats in London.
Thanks for making my point.
but Diana doc, its regular Iranians no, buying up the property?……mollah/ mobed are a small minority no? Come on brah……get real no? Iran’s run by the Sepah, not mollah! Just like in Sassanian times.
If liberal Iranians were the majority, by the nature of things, Iran would not be the sordid Islamic state it is.
Anyone who espouses Islam, Shia or Sunni, is by definition an evil creature. Especially the Persians since they already had their indigenous culture and religion before they repudiated Zoroastrianism adopted Islam instead?
Have you read the Quran? No sane person could call herself a Muslim after reading it. (I think the Torah/the Old Testament are bad as well. Christ made a new covenant with the people. Christ’s main teachings are in conflict with the tenets of Jewish religion.)
kheli to faght eteraaf kardeh keh to zartushti hast no?……lol.
No, I disagree. The ones who escaped to the US and the ones who proudly display their Botox lips in Istanbul, those are “liberal” to the extent that they are amateurish materialists. These people are not liberal in the political sense of the word. They are only iPhone and Gucci liberals.
impoverished granny = liberal fascist
You guys are hard core and religious conservative compared to us regular people. A good quarter of Yazd is Zoroastrian today. Go see it yourself, don’t know when you went there last.
Calling a spade, a spade is not fanaticism as you claim.
In addition, I think you’re wrong about the Yazidis being Zoroastrian. The Yazidis are Satan worshippers in a pragmatic way. If I recall correctly, they show their respect to Satan so that he leaves them alone. Perhaps what misled you is that the Sun also is central belief system.
But all this is off the top of my head. I may be completely wrong myself. Most of my sojourn on this planet is done good and well, and all of that happened long, long ago.
No your sojourn is not done yet…..you need to visit Yazd annually, or more like just move there already. And don’t compare regional rejects with Iranian Zoroastrians. How about realizing where Yazd is, and what Yazidis are no? And don’t equate Parsi with Iranian Zoroastrians either. Two different species.
What are you talking about? There are Yazidis in all those countries, including even Armenia.
Wake up fool, living in bombay is making you lose your faculties. Yazd is a zoro city in Iran. Yazidi are pagans living in Sinjar area of Iraq more than 1500 miles away from Yazd. And then we got you guys, who are Parsi in name only, no connection racially left with Iran. Even I feel ashamed now. What the hell…….you lost now. It’s over for you.

dimwit attempts straw man argument–symbolic logic not taught in backward village culture
FYI, symbolic logic’s main purpose is to avoid truth. Those so-called philosophers deny that truth exists.
Talking of Mongols, you must be thinking of your kids.
dimwit racist anglo granny lying again—yes all anglo nations support Azeri claims to artask…..the anglo hypocrite devoid of any morality can never tell civilized peoples what is “wrongful” reduce your LSD and find a better nursing home
Thanks for making my point.
Russia=NATO
They have sold one to Iran as well. Thats just trade.
Russia is vital depended in export and it goes both ways. Ifg they have no income, they cant buy.
So you claim that doing business with terrorists (Turks) who are fighting and killing your (Russian) soldiers and your (Syrian) allies is good for you because you are getting paid in American dollars which Western bankers create out of nothing — and which dollars the bankers can confiscate at will by throwing Russia out of th SWIFT currency system — is good for the Russians?
In other words, helping your stated enemy in return for essentially worthless dollars which only serves to prop up the petrodollar system which supports your stated NATO enemy, is beneficial to Russia?
You are a “smart” one indeed.
Russia is doing more good work for NATO than Turkey itself.
Thanks Putin.
BloJo’s buddies, the Turds?
You’d want to lay off the gallon of wine you slurp on, the drink makes people, well, like you.
I dont claim. I tell how the world is. You write about how You think it should be.
And I and we actually work and get paid for it. Thats where my money come from and not as You have heard from Your own behind.
You are claiming that prostitution is a legitimate business endeavour which does not harm those who practice it even when they get raped, tortured or killed.
Anything else?
I never wrote anything like that.
Prostitution here is like any other job a nice and well payd job and as cooks and carpente3rs they should not be raped, tortured or killed.
We dont have those traditions here as where You have it in Your culture and language in jobs as well as at home. 2/3 of all killings actually are by family and aquented.
We do have crimes agaisnt prostitutes too. If so its a police matter for the court and often years of jail as well as monetary compensation.
You said you work for people who terrorize human beings.
you see, he admit bache bazi…….khodesh admit kardeh……lol
I descriebe the real world, where things are not as You hope for.
You even try to descriebe 16 bilion people in the future doing nothing, because there is enough energy and tech.
The rest of us are not like that. If so, we are not humans bu raised and cloned into robots.
Its more likely omly ants live here, then Your misfiction misfitt.
Prostitution is like any other job, says the European who imports Muslims to Europe so that the Muslims can rape his wife and kill his children while he the enlightened European male can make money working for his Muslim boss.
Europe is finished.
…and You are from Finland.
Muslims allready has a lot of prostitution themself. Now go back to Your Haram or Harem.
You have male
dim granny offering more false equivalences!
jens again confused–all national economies benefit from trade…unlike USA and backward colonies–UK, cans, dinkmark etc Russia enjoys positive balance of trade w all nations
So why are Britain and it’s owner America entrenched in Incirclic base in pseudo NATO-member Turkey?
NATO is the mortal enemy of Russia and Russia is essentially delivering peaceful nuclear capability to a *moderate*, *secular* muslim faction of NATO, namely Turkey!
This is excellent strategic practice.
Why is Her Majesty and Uncle Sam enabling an Islamist NATO country right on European borders, to become military power by establishing massive military bases and hosting nuclear warheads in Turkey?
Has it not crossed your feeble mind that Russian engagement by selling s-400 and nuclear projects in Turkey are the best way to split the Turkish faction from NATO and weaken the links between the Anglo-Zionist European hegemon and it’s muslim satrap?
Are American out of their minds? They keep voting for criminals who support zionist fanatic states like israel and wahabbi headchopper states like Saudi Arabia..
You are not intelligent.
Turks will never split from NATO. Never.
Turks will also use and abuse Russia as long as Russia is ruled by our boy Putin.
No nation with a competent administration would deal with the Turks on equal terms. Turks are perfidy personified.
There is no hope for Russia as long as they allow themselves to be ruled by our Jewish partners.
why does dimwit senile anglo granny pose stupid irrelevant questions at SF? so stupid granny believes others at SF stupid enough to consider them relevant
Strangely, Russia nor Syria never bomb the Oil theft operation being run by the ZioAmericans.
They blow up USSA convoys or troops as Trump was going to withdraw USSA troops. Now that Trump is out and USSA troop are to stay the insurgency of Iraq will com to Syria and soon the USSA will not be able to smuggle any oil either. Blowing up tankers full of oil is very easy to do.
” the insurgency of Iraq will com to Syria and soo ” And you have insider info on this ?
Its already starting to happen
OK I have read this attitude before. So what type of evidence is necessary for you to believe anything what is your standard of proof?
I know you believe everything on TV with no proof at all “”because””.
” OK I have read this attitude before. So what type of evidence is necessary for you to believe anything what is your standard of proof? ”
Facts on the ground and verifiable actions.
“ I know you believe everything on TV with no proof at all “”because””. ”
It seems you know as much about me as you know about the intentions of the Iraqi ” resistance “.
Facts on the ground and verifiable actions.
Like I thought a non answer
This is not a standard of proof.
What kinds of facts on the ground examples? Verifiable actions verifiable how, examples?
Does it have to be on video? What kinds of sources? An eye witness. How can it be proven to you they are an eye witness? What kinds of facts are acceptable???
You won’t say because if you do and I produce them you won’t be able to deny. Either your current non answer or your standard of proof will be so high as to be impossible to satisfy.
such is the power and insufficiency of our language…while people are clueless how “on a balance of probabilities” works and how to tame their own cognitive dissonance. Because that is what you speak off right ?
Yes they play games and refuse to give examples of standards of proof they can be held to because they know that I say will be proven to their standard or they will give a standard of proof so high as to be impossible to satisfy, for anything, any matter anywhere.
Let me repeat my answer from above:
Throughout the Libyan, Syrian, and Donbas wars there were thousands of videos made by all sides showing the ” enemies ” casualties. When I see the same type of videos showing US / NATO casualties on a daily basis then I’ll believe there’s a viable, full blow resistance going on. So far all we see is blown up tires on Iraqi driven trucks.
thousands of videos made by all sides
Thanks for proving my point an impossibly high standard of proof. No one would ever be convicted of anything in any court with such an impossibly high standard, the jails would be empty.
When I see the same type of videos showing US / NATO casualties on a daily basis then I’ll believe.
No one can produce that kind and volume of proof for years if ever.
” No one can produce that kind and volume of proof for years if ever “
You must not have followed the wars I’ve been following. There are literally thousands upon thousands of hours of combat footage from the Ukraine, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Syria, and most recently the Armenian region. This includes HD footage, drone, footage, night vision videos, and so forth.
You’re either naive or acting like it.
Facts from whom, and verification from whom? The only people allowed to talk or report news are those in sync with the globalist fascists propaganda machine. You also have to THINK, keeping focused on BIAS.

foggy brain consistently wrong
Thats more Your hopes. Sometimes hopes comes through.
except in pathetic US colony dinkmark
Its a matter of priorities. It mainly was the americans which bombarded away the fields driven by ISIS. Russia has taken most of the transportation, they dont like etc.
And Assads dont like to bombarde the two best fields for them east of DEZ. Syria do get gas gas from the SDF.
not strange foggy stupid—tiresome
Do you have anything intelligent to add ?
I will wait for something intelligent from u before I will waste effort
Not so strange. Globalist fascists look for an excuse to invade. That would be it.
Invade who ? Also, Russia has bombed Turkish back oil smuggling operations before without ever killing a Turkish soldier. Why not do that to the US backed oil theft operation also ?
That’s the coward attitude that I am so pissed about. Scared to respond to any aggression because they are scared of a war, or so they think.

I nearly fell off my chair laughing when I read this latest article from oilprice.com. The U.S. Imports Record Share Of Russian Oil Despite Tensions “In 2020, the U.S. imported more oil and refined products from Russian than from Saudi Arabia, with Russia’s share of American oil exports at a record-high 7 percent, Bloomberg News has estimated based on customs and EIA data.
Russia mostly displaced the market previously held by Venezuela—now unable to sell its heavy oil to U.S. refiners because of the American sanctions on Nicolas Maduro’s regime.
U.S. oil imports from Russia exceeded last year even the imports from OPEC’s top producer and de facto leader, Saudi Arabia, which—after briefly flooding the U.S. market with its crude in April 2020—drastically cut shipments to the most transparent market to help inventory drawdowns amid collapsing fuel demand globally.
As per Bloomberg calculations, the United States imported on average 538,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil and oil products from Russia last year. This was higher than the average American imports of oil from Saudi Arabia, which is estimated to have shipped on average 522,000 bpd to the United States.
Most of the oil that U.S. refiners buy from Russia is not crude oil, but fuel oil they use to produce gasoline in the absence of Venezuelan heavy oil supply to complement the imports of heavy Canadian crude from the oil sands.
Energy consultants and analysts told Bloomberg that they haven’t seen any concern in the White House about the rising imports of oil from Russia, while the new U.S. Administration continues to threaten sanctions on partners of the Russia-led Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project in Europe.” https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/The-US-Imports-Record-Share-Of-Russian-Oil-Despite-Tensions.html
You forgot this.
In 2019, the United States exported about 8.47 MMb/d of petroleum to about 190 countries and 4 U.S. territories. Crude oil exports of about 2.98 MMb/d accounted for 35% of total U.S. gross petroleum exports in 2019. The resulting total net petroleum imports (imports minus exports) were about 0.67 MMb/d in 2019
So they also refine oil and makes profit the Russians are not able to. You forgot the netto. Smile not laugh.
Jens you are so thick, you make crude seem watery.

“U.S. Govt Debt $28 Trillions, Govt debt per capita head – $88, 000.”
that is most relevant. Your inability to understand is irrelevant.
The Kapitalisme vital base is debt, so You have to subtract the active and productive part. And it works. As long as the payback is bigger then the interest ist fine.
You probatly not even understand the cow version. But I try: You buy a cow by a big loan and pay back the cow a little by a little and with interests.
But You forget WORK – get it – ADDÍNG WORK.
By feeding it well it gives milk and cheese and Ýou by that can sell it for more then You have paid for and the interest.
There even is a part of the profit, You can use for a good life.
The result is very visble in the GDP telling not profit but activity making profit. You spend that profit for food, house, car, birthday parties and like that.
Im so tired about primitive hand to mouth economist like You telling this and that about things they are not learned in school ands certainlky not from Muhammed as well as Karl Marx.
So when You write Goverment(and private) debt, You has to relate those and add and subtract.
You can go out looking and listening. Those Americans and we do not lie starving in the streets livingb under broken umbrellas.
Now go back an compare with how You do. Most like You has a lower livingstandard.
I could understand it, if You were more succesfull then we are I dont see that.
You babble stupidity and bullshit to make up for the fact you have nothing real to say.
Everything you posted above, is ignorance. What you posted above, has resulted in a economically destroyed planet. END OF FLUCKING STORY. And it no longer fits the FACTS of our modern world.
Your capitalism, is obsolete. It hasn’t existed for decades dimwit. Because there is no more room to grow on this planet. You have a ridiculous notion you can go on indefinably raping a planet with finite resources, with unchecked growth. You cannot do that st00pid.
Babble on.
Fact 1, capitalism no longer exists.
Fact 2, capitalism and its brothers called greed and envy have destroyed this planet, while the useful idiots like yourself ignore that fact. Now we have end game capitalism, AKA fascism finishing us off.
Fact 3, Technology is taking jobs, and it will take MOST jobs. And that is a good thing. No need to slave for profit in order to survive.
Fact 4, Usury is slavery, and nothing more. You are just too flucking st00pid to get it.
talking about “hand to mouth” why is your hand grabbing from your ass and spewing through this thread ?
I see you libtard….
“In politics, stupidity is not a handicap.” Napoleon Bonaparte
for what you are….
“The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

I just explain why debt in the kapitalistic system is a vital must as well as private property is, which cant compared with Muhammed and Marxist Economies by Engels and friends.
The rest of Your half a tourist camel comment is not relevant from that at all.
Next some NUT or NOD even ask why I write here. Well free speach and debate maiking better decissions by relating oppinions seemes to be quite succesfull, where I come from.
We also go to school to learn communications and others things. Thats named as parlamentarsm. “PARLE” is not just opening Your Noddy mouth, so people cant see there is no brain or a little rooster behind the organ. then we educate, find skills and even are rewarded by a better income the harder and better, we do.
Denmark invented large scale windpower, which today covers more then 50% of Our electricity. Even so we also have world record in women and men in jobs.
So Your drinking tea even sitting on Your hands doing absolutly nothing is a total illusion., because other jobs are created. Human beings are not like that, where I come from. Not all are homo infantiliusses as You
jens becoming more senile and stupid per day
Much the opposite way. You seemes to be more and more far from understand, that the world change every day.
And Russia got paid in US dollars which the American central bank creates out of nothing, thus also propping up the NATO petrodollar system which is supposedly Russia’s sworn enemy.
Keep laughing because Putin works for our NATO system. Putin is selling Russia’s oil to us for free. If you Russians had two brain cells, you’d hang Putin from the nearest tree instead of admiring him as your national hero.
But do stay this way. It suits us.
Keep up the good work Putin.
We can all pull propaganda out of our arseholes like you but you excel at that trick.
Keep spinning, your propaganda is amateurish, but entertaining nonetheless …
She does have a point about the US dollars though. There is no way the US is paying in rubles or Yuan.
But the ‘NATO petrodollar system’ is not Russia’s ‘sworn enemy’. Russia needs some of our worthless USD for global trade like everyone else. Neither Russia nor China are at war with the USD. They just don’t want USD to be the only alternative out there for trade and subject to America’s every childish whim. While it would be nice to have the new worldwide reserve currency, Russia and China would be happy just to have a level playing field.
You are wrong here , good sir , the Rothschild controlled, usury based, petro dollar system is the ” sworn enemy ” of all humanity, as has been proven over many decades. If Russia and China don’t want to see it destroyed its only because their respective elites are benefiting fully from its evil corruption and to protect the wealth of their Khazar partners or masters. Nothin less , nothing more.
foggy mind in tumen wrong again
Think about it this way, FoW: Is the problem mostly Rothschild bankster control or the usury basis? Or is the problem mostly how people get shot and blown up when they do not want to use the money…?
Just like all banker gangster money, it is not backed purely with violence and threats of violence. For example, maybe some of those US dollars going into funding RT and Sputnik, educating we the people away from the banskters’ wars.
” Just like all banker gangster money, it is not backed purely with violence and threats of violence. ”
So these forces are powerful enough to assassinate a Russian president for instance ? If thats the game then its all over for the common folk anyhow.
Maybe, FoW, but Russian presidents like Putin say he has survived so far (unless you believe the theory he’s currently a look-alike…), and that is not what I was referring to. In addition to the violence and threats, bankster economies still need to trade things like food, housing, infrastructure, health care, etc. My point was that RT and Sputnik staff can use Federal Reserve Notes Russia has acquired to buy things like that, support themselves and their families, then continue convincing people away from the banksters.
” My point was that RT and Sputnik staff can use Federal Reserve Notes Russia has acquired to buy things like that, support themselves and their families, then continue convincing people away from the banksters. ”
But that is the height of sheer hypocrisy and can be smelled a mile away. You cant be against the ZioWestern system while fulling participating in it. ” Do as I say and not as I do ” doesnt wok in this scenario.
So, what do you propose people do to “be against the ZioWestern system without fulling participating in it”? Never use Federal Reserve Notes or another bankster debt money for anything? Should RT and Sputnik staff be paid in rubles? If they live in the US, won’t they have to convert to US dollars to buy most things anyway? Even here at South Front: Should people who donate US dollars to SF convert to rubles, Bitcoin, etc. first? If their jobs only pay them in US dollars, should they quit?
Fully participating in bankster neo-slavery also means supporting belief or faith in the system and in what is needed to perpetuate the system, like regime change wars. As Jesus said, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Just because people use money does not mean money, or the people controlling money, must become their god.
” So, what do you propose people do to “be against the ZioWestern system without fulling participating in it”? ”
I thought the Chinese and the German Reich supposedly gave us the answer
” print your own debt free money, outside of the Federal reserve fractional banking system. “
Anything short of that will ultimately fail.
” ” Just because people use money does not mean money, or the people controlling money, must become their god. ”
The problem is that even if the money doesnt become the people’s ” god “, it ultimately always becomes their slave master. There are no other options in a debt based, central bank controlled, fractional reserve system.
Didn’t the German Reich lose the regime change war dropped on it largely because too many Americans, Soviets, Brits, etc. were convinced it was a “good war” against “evil Nazis”? Do you think CGTN’s staff in Washington, helping wake up Americans about how the new “good war” propaganda is false, buy their food, pay their bills, etc. in yuan? Never mind how – Should they pay in yuan…?
Yes, FoW, countries should control their own debt-free monies, but how does some use of the banksters’ debt-based money, especially in the bankster counter-propaganda roles we are talking about, undermine the public good?
You are too focused on RT and its staff in the US. I dont know how much you watch of it but it is full of ” khazarian ” operatives, fluff pieces , and questionable reporting about Russia. I’m actually shocked that Russia allows it to operate in its current form. Its ” Russian ” television in name only for the most part.
” but how does some use of the banksters’ debt-based money, especially in the bankster counter-propaganda roles we are talking about, undermine the public good? ”
Easily, if you actually have a goal and an endgame. However, the political elite of the world are fully entrenched in the ” beast ” system and seem to have no problem with. For instance, what is Putin’s offshore bank account denominated in ? Rubles ? I dont think so. The only thing China and Russia seem to want is to be treated as equal partners in the ” beast ” system, not to destroy it or to introduce a new more modern and equitable setup.
I know RT has its issues. That is why I brought up CGTN (which is Chinese) and South Front. PressTV (which is Iranian) is the same way: Should their American staff live in America without using American money?
And being “treated as equal partners in the ‘beast’ system” requires supporting the system’s unholy conflicts. No one who knows better uses neo-slavery money because of mutual beneficial administration; they do it because people who oppose neo-slavery get crucified. China and Russia exposing the “beast” wars also destroys their own ability to lie people into them, so what kind of “partner” does that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Levfsn6X9E
” China and Russia exposing the “beast” wars also destroys their own ability to lie people into them, so what kind of “partner” does that? ”
It sounds like we agree after all.
Yeah, but please note that the Soviet Union was a good example of how a country gets “treated as equal partners in the ‘beast’ system.” The Soviets were also enacting the kind of false flag wars (see: the Shelling of Mainila), waste, fraud, abuse socioeconomics (see: the Holodomor, Chernobyl May Day cover-up), supporting of other dubious administrations (see: Afghanistan’s Saur coup, the Zionists’ Holocaust “death camps”), etc. that we see in “Western” bankster-run countries. The Soviets also had the censorship and media repression such a system requires.
Today, Russia and China are doing the exact opposite, and the more Christian, “Question More” mentality will help make sure it stays that way.
“The frankly stupid people in charge of the Soviet propaganda machine spent immense resources trying to block the western propaganda from seeping in from under the Iron Curtain… Nowadays, this has dramatically changed and the Russians understood that much better than anybody in the West: In the age of the Internet and satellite TV you cannot target your message solely at a domestic audience, nor can you prevent the other guy’s propaganda from reaching your own domestic audience… The truth is that about 80% or more Russians support Putin precisely because they are exposed to the western propaganda machine and its message on a daily basis… Unlike their US American counterparts, the Russians are not engaging in policies which they cannot justify before their own public opinion or before the public opinion of the rest of the planet.” ~ “Re-visiting Russian counter-propaganda methods,” The Saker http://thesaker.is/re-visiting-russian-counter-propaganda-methods/
what he and others do not understand is that Russia and China recycle the Dollar, they buy gold, silver and infrastructure, things of real value, if other countries are stupid enough to privatize their infrastructure and give away for dollars, why should China and Russia not exchange it for something of real value! Everybody in financial industry and stockmarket knows the gold and silver prices are rigged down, it costs the FED and ECB and Central Bank of England every month Billions to keep the values artificially down….Putin studied economics, and he bought back many shares of Russian Gas and Oil industries in 2015-2014 when the West sanctioned Russia….its a Game that is played in long term, if the West gives enough robe to hang themselves…..why not using it….Also because of the law of reserve currencies, Russia has to hold a value of reserve curriences equal of money it is printing….as more reserve currencie Russia holds, as more money she can print without getting inflation as its Rubbels are backed by the reserve currencies !!! You all should inform yourself a little about this reserve currency scam that was forced up on the whole world…Russia and Putin do quite well!!!
cornhole funny—satire only appreciated Birmingham village by junkies
As I said 10 years ago, there is nothing Russia wont do to become equal partners to an American …………..LOL.
amerikans inferior cultureless “partner”
Armenian freedom fighter Hampig Sassounian, who killed Turkish supremacist diplomat Kemal Arikan has finally been released from prison on parole after 40 years. You Turks do not hold the power you think you have.
Good
Hypocrasy again. Everyone is in it if they can.
jens whore again projecting her own night porter values onto civilized peoples
If Russia and Syria were aware that a convoy of 300 trucks filled with oil was leaving Syria — why didn’t they bomb/destroy it?
excellent comments below—the farcical anglo granny appears again; if she claims that blue is a color I will need to examine this closely
