December 8, 2024, was a sad day for all sovereigntists around the world. After nearly a decade and a half of fighting for survival against simultaneous aggression from virtually all sides, Syria succumbed to its mortal wounds. The ongoing blame game in Russia, Iran and other multipolar powers won’t change anything. There’s a ton of speculation on who sold what and to whom, but the simple fact is that everything has a breaking point.
Since 2011, when NATO effectively invaded the country, Syria wasn’t given a day of break. And yes, it was an invasion, because the so-called “Syrian Civil War” is a ridiculous euphemism coined by the mainstream propaganda machine as a cover-up for this terrorist-infested assault. The political West and its vassals and satellite states launched this truly unprovoked war of aggression not against Assad, but the Syrian people.
Back in 2015, Damascus asked for Russia’s help and its intervention saved the country from a complete terrorist takeover. By 2019, most of the country was liberated from NATO-backed terrorists, leaving several areas under occupation, including the terrorist-infested Al Tanf, where American occupation forces are still stationed, and Idlib, where Turkey maintained and supported an alliance of various Al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists. Precisely these two areas played a central role in the latest attack on Syria, resulting in the complete takeover. The US-backed, Kurdish-dominated SDF still holds the territory beyond the Euphrates, although it remains to be seen for how long with the expansionist Turkey sending its terrorists to the area. Either way, the actual Syrian Civil War is starting just now and it’ll be a disastrous bloodbath.
The mainstream propaganda machine is already preparing some sort of “Syrian Zelensky” as the leader of the “moderate, democratic Syria”. The so-called “emir” Ahmed Hussein al-Shar’a, better known by his Al Qaeda nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Julani, is a wanted terrorist, the leader of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS, previously known as Al-Nusra Front), with the United States formally offering $10 million for his whereabouts and capture. And yet, that doesn’t prevent CNN from interviewing him, meaning they obviously know where he is, making this “moderate democratic” charade all the most ludicrous. Even more interestingly, he has an extremely lucrative business in Turkey, a major NATO member that somehow “didn’t get the memo” they’re working with a terrorist. Still, Ankara is more honest about its motivation for working with him.
Namely, the two-faced mini-sultan Erdogan doesn’t hide his Neo-Ottoman ambitions. His supporters openly brag about him being the new actual leader of Syria. And indeed, it certainly may seem like it, as his appetites keep growing, supported by Turkish expansionism in the South Caucasus, North Africa, Southeast Europe, and possibly even Central Asia in the foreseeable future.
However, Erdogan’s calculus might end up being way off as the “Syrian Gordian Knot” just became even more entangled and you can’t just cut it, as it’s made of steel. Namely, what the political West kept calling the “Syrian opposition” is effectively non-existent. Nobody really knows what it is, as it’s composed of numerous factions, the most prominent of which are the HTS, SNA and FSA, with the Kurdish-led SDF still in the game.
None of these factions are willing to renounce their spheres of influence without getting the “slice of the cake” (although they’re really left with crumbles at this point). It’s almost impossible to predict in what ways this could escalate. The US-backed SDF is not on good terms (to put it mildly) with any of these factions. There’s also a strong possibility of a direct Turkish invasion of SDF-held areas, although Washington DC is already conducting airstrikes in support of the Kurdish-led group. It remains to be seen if America will sell the SDF to Erdogan or if he will tolerate it as long as he gets the rest of the country. Perhaps Ankara might even go into an indirect confrontation with the US over Kurdish-held areas, although they’ve been coordinating this NATO invasion of Syria quite closely and are likely to continue to do so in most of the country.
What does all this mean for the Syrian people? Well, certainly nothing good. The terrorists are already looting, pillaging and destroying everything in their path. This includes kidnapping women and attacking civilians, as well as handing out weapons to anyone who’d take them, children included. The “moderate democratic” terrorists are already threatening that the historic Umayyad Mosque will be off limits for Shia Muslims, while Christians are being sent a very clear message as not even Christmas trees are tolerated (which is “civilized” in comparison to what’s actually going on in churches and other Christian shrines). In addition, the risk of a regional spillover cannot be overstated, as the terrorists don’t understand the concept of state borders, which is an issue Iraq is already having to contend with as terrorists take border crossings.
The unfortunate Baghdad also hasn’t had a break since the 1980s, all due to US/NATO meddling and aggression. This is now bound to get worse, as the political West will continue the strategic offensive against Iranian influence in the Middle East. And how does the mainstream propaganda machine call all these events in Syria and the region? “Mostly peaceful democratic revolution.” It would certainly make one fall off a chair laughing if the situation wasn’t that tragic.
At the same time, legitimate elections in Romania are being annulled due to “Russian interference” as the “far right” political candidate is now isolated due to his heating and Internet access being cut. Not to mention Georgia which is experiencing a sort of mini-Maidan led by an outgoing president who served as the French ambassador to the country she officially “leads”.
At the same time, the Neo-Nazi junta is also a “democracy”, despite the fact that Zelensky is now effectively a dictator, while Russia is a “dictatorship” despite holding actual elections. All in all, we see that the political West’s definitions of “freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law” are repulsive lies and misnomers for true tyranny and extremism. Whether it’s Wahhabism and other forms of Islamic radicalism, unadulterated Nazism, narco-terrorism, extremely violent criminal groups such as drug cartels, repulsive ideologies (ultra-liberal extremism and moral depravity), etc, NATO is behind it all and stands fully committed to supporting it. The dangers of the extremely malignant influence of the US-led racketeering cartel cannot be overstated, as it’s the main contributing factor to global nuclear proliferation.
The people of Syria are now the hostages of this evil empire of lies, serving as the tragic showcase to all of us what the loss of sovereignty can cost an entire nation. Still, while the multipolar world might’ve lost a battle, the geostrategic counteroffensive against the political West’s global aggression is only starting. Entire nations (and perhaps even continents) will now look for ways to keep the invaders at bay, particularly by building closer ties with BRICS and other sovereigntist organizations.
MORE ON THE TOPIC:
as always, on south front, nato-funded propagandists will eagerly list numerous ways in which they claim putin is flawed. their only hope to avoid a strategic loss in ukraine is the overthrow of the russian government. don’t anticipate logical arguments from them. don’t expect honesty either. given their indifference to israel committing atrocities, don’t expect integrity from them.
agreed. don’t expect logical arguments, don’t expect honesty either and don’t you ever show them your back because they will stab you without even feel remorse. cannibals at his best.
soviet union collapsed 33 years ago,failed completely, anything it ever achieved has long been washed away, while it’s competitor is still here, winning. maybe change tactics ? there is no “axis of resistance” there is only self-interest.
orechnik is a direct consequence of all the arms research that the ussr made. so is all the russian nuclear weapons that keep nato at bay. so you’re pretty wrong, but we are used to that now.
old russian junk dont scare noboody dik liks. eh
sure. that’s why atacms attacks in russia stopped after the orechnik strike, buddy. unlike your fart brain, competent people in the west understand.
canadians such as “crazycanuck” aren’t smart enough to be political shills, guy’s literally got half a brain cell and doesn’t understand what is politically or socially at stake.
if you asked this retard if he hates “justin trudeau” he’d likely say yes, and if you asked him if he disliked woke politics he would likely say yes, but is too fucking stupid to understand that the woke world is responsible for the aggressions against russia.
hts = nato?!
hts backed by natomember turkey and idlib was the only place the eu send humanitarian goods to in syria they basically funded that giant training camp for militants.
è vero chiedetevi perché riaprirono l’ambasciata italiana a damasco, saluti mi dispiace
because they like the jihadis ? this may change rather soon.
nope just rebels that are better than orcs , simple eh
rebels, the beheading kind or the ‘diversity’ kind ? oh yeah, they are the same. nazis, head cutter jihadis. it seems that anto has some problems in the ethics departement.
dumb westoid from english countries. they are grass fed cows over there. they would rather sleep with the devil than accept russia as an equal. what is canada? a place with bandera nazis pretending to be liberal rainbow warriors. fake and gay to the max
trust me when i say that there are large portions of people in the united states and canada who want to accept russia as a peaceful equal because the true enemy are the neoliberals who have been causing these wars and trying to create disunity with insane leftist politics within our own borders.
my provincial leader spoke in support of the dpr and lpr in our parliament and was shouted at by idiot leftists for it, not all of us and in fact a great deal of us are not idiot neoliberal cattle.
retarded centrists and progressives are willing to rationalize islamic terrorists who murder people as “diversity warriors” until they start throwing progressives sacred cows off buildings.
leftist and neoliberal progressivism is ideological aids.
again “crazycanuck” proving he’s got half a brain cell, those “rebels” are cia funded and their main leader was a disciple of the leader of the group of terrorists in iraq who murdered eric berg.
for 13 years russia has been killed and bombing cyvilians at siria for 3 years russia is killing civilians at ukrain so the world is watching the fascits from kremlin
im never really certain what russias state ideology is supposed to be. they claim to want to promote multipolarism but they constantly buckle to the hegimon.
part of the blame for all this is china. they aren’t doing their part to promote multipolarism, all of the just end up looking out for their own short term self interests.
bric members aren’t seemingly capible of resisting being paid off by uncle scam.
and that’s why trump is screaming at brics… when ignorance meets stupidity : meet vanya. just ask the american farmers how they feel about brics.
brics is not a military alliance. if they form an anti nato bulwark, that would have more bite. but its better to over extend nato for now. given nato operates on typical western and zionist arrogance, it does not know when to stop, cut its losses or learn that thing called self control
usa, quatar, saudi arabia and turkey poured huge amounts of money and weapons into the terrorist armies. the usa is now bombing isil (daesh) the very terrorists they used in the syrian government overthrow. the globalists will probably support their own version of chaos while terminating their own terrorists to then offer some zionist controlled puppet.
the real winner are the israelis, it was done slick just with these dupes paid off. russia only had two fighter planes in syria when this happened. no wonder the iranian press was criticizing the russian government.
do not get too excited about israel. this will blowback in their face like all other interventions. they are overrated in the intelligence department. american jews especially. their downfall is their retarded psychology with so many blind spots
really? tell me just what has blown back in their face, ever????
fact is they keep getting what they want. and they will until god himself destroys them. then he will destroy all the democracy loving world which has enabled all of this.
crocodile tears huhu
islam is your future
islam is your death sentence
25% of the people on earth, and growing, disagree with you
75% also disagrees with the 25% of world’s assholes, including you
you’re a bit rich on that 75% figure there bagel boy. sprouting wildly on perceived socio-stats is not a smart play. you lot are now beyond even being considered human
actually over 90% despise you
actually 90% of the world wants idiots like you deleted off the map
close to 100% have kicked you out of their countries in the last few thousand years…it sucks to be that unpopular
typical squatter mentality. iranian version of islam is the religion of idiots
tbh the arab world is losing reputation and will lose their position in the west because of it.
they are only imported by the biggest traitors of the western world and sadly it seems arabs are too gullible and violent to realize they are losing their region of the world to cia subterfuge decade after decade.
much of the success russia was having in syria and africa was thanks to prigozhin and wagner group.
after prigozhin and putin got into argument about how ukraine war was being fought and usual russian solution was applied nothing quite has gone right since….
except ukraine being compeltely destroyed, trump willing to negociate the end of the war, europe being completely f*cked up economically and politically and the us willing to kill a presidential candidate… yeah, nothing has gone right. vanya invented a new degree of blindness you didn’t know existed.
more than half of frenchs deserve to have an economically f*ck*d country.
sorry, im a knucklehead at times
it’s possible some level of cohesion of the wagner arm was hurt with prigozhin being disobedient, however largely speaking it was escalations in ukraine and specifically both pressure in terms of manpower and ordinance that compelled russia to prioritize ukraine and lower the prioritization of syria.
it is my hope that all russian soldiers evacuate the country alive.
chi vince vince ed ha ragione l’america vince biden vince non dorme, almeno copiate come fanno, adesso tocca a l’iran, iraq e russia la georgia è andata erdogan prende tutte le zone a influenza russa kiev un piccolo stato sfasciato occupa la russia ridotta a un paesotto come il portogallo amici siete messi male saluto madame ekaterina strogoff di mosca di anni 80 che va in vacanza in crimea e attraversa il ponte di kerch. saluti mi dispiace.
remember when russia convinced assad to give up his chemical weapons in exchange for a “security guarantee”?
now syria no longer exists…heheheh…
it was done to shut to western propaganda about syria using chemical weapons. syria still pretty much exists.
you go under a lot of non-de-plumes don’t you ‘heheheh’. unemployed ?
assad was not fucked over by putin, russia did what it could to assist assad, and now assad thankfully is safe in russia. the man did the best he could for ungrateful consanguineous arabs who did not know they were authoring the destruction of their own country by inviting in and cheering on cia backed mercenaries.
unfortunately, the pressures put on russia due to nato backing ukraine resulted in russia having to increase its military prioritization in ukraine.
good article. well, obviously it’s going to be good when it’s not written by an erdoganist salafist like damir nazarov lol.
all planned out centuries ago really syria was set up to serve a purpose. like israel.pakistan north south korea veitnam etcetera it’s business. it’s all planned out .
anx you don’t get the basics they hate jesus and christian’s because christ is a title not a name its from the greek kristos meaning the anointed of god, meaning the king the sovereign and so christian’s being the children of god the father being ” thd blood flows in their veins and the flesh is living ” are sovereign beings who none are above they are all created equal . that’s what the class wars about .
bye bye russian trash , your next.
so when are you leaving for ukraine ? the afu is recruiting and they will probably like your big mouth (not for talking though).
if trumpberg and zelensky are squealing. it means russia is winning. no minsk 3. seize everything east of the dnieper river. form a well armed novorussia proxy and pull back. no need for russia to occupy with its troops. play the proxy game
go to the front lines tough guy. the pastures are waiting for you to fertilize them
crystal meth or just cheap booze ? 💩
as idiotic as i think crazycanuck is, i guarantee you he’s against justin trudeau and yet is too stupid to comprehend that everything he hates about justin trudeau is what is motivating western neoliberal aggression against russia.
i mean ffs, i know you’re stupid crazycanuck but can you comprehend why the largest white majority country on earth would be seen as a threat to the woke mob?
a question, where was russian security when this was planned? this was planned between rus and nato, everything has a price.
the exceptionals and their lackeys and vassals. i told you you can cry, argue, do what it want in palestine and abroad, but israel will defeat their enemies in the short term, did they thought about middle term or long term strategies? the empire wouldn’t be there forever, what you are going to do after the masters exceptionals retreat?
poor syria, one more time the exceptionals arranged the annihilation of a country, they already sell all their clothes, they betrayed and put them price for some gold coins, they put syria in extreme suffering. i wonder if the fate of christianity is to do the same before christianity could enter more lands so it helps to expand the empire of the exceptionals? the exceptionals knows that christianity is the belief of the lackeys and vassals.
the insult of having to ask the same country who is blocking your navy from entering the black sea for their help evacuating russian troops is not going to play well in moscow.
turkey is playing the best they can, russia cannot trust them but they must deal with them like it or not. guess they had already negotiated with nato that everything above israel is going to be with turkey. turkey is tired to be a second tier lackey and wanted to join the first tier lackeys like japan, germany, france. guess turkey will even dear to bite the supreme hegemon if they see that the empire is going to collapse.
having to smooch america dry while complaining you are not getting enough free stuff is not going to play well in tel aviv when uncle sugar goes bankrupt
yet another sovereigncountry fucked by the allies and friends from russia, the greater army in the world watch what happens to the russia allies lol
dear friend erdohan loves putin and yhe kremlin thats why the russian jet went down on turkey airspace
open borders is the problem. syria took their minefields out of play, and that’s when the invasion began.
this on zh – “idf tanks reach just 25km from damascus as netanyahu declares golan is ‘ours forever’”!… if all else is lost for the genocide in palestine, lebanon and now syria hoping that there is a nuclear “light” at the end of i$rael’s tunnel!…
ready for this to be my last “x”mas as it is and will continue to be a zi0ni$t apartheid global $tate and prison for all of the rest of us especially the prc and india that have contributed immeasurably to it’s fruition by betraying both the un/unsc charter and more importantly briics by not facilitating support militarily to russia when it was most needed!!!
you reek of a parrot, in 4 sentences you can be more obtuse than a screw
thank you for the complement… milton… “rothschild”!…
they couldn’t do it without local arse holes helping them.
