�⇅All / On "Kurds"
    Israeli military forces have moved to within 15 miles of the Syrian Capital of Damascus. The IDF has seized large tracts of land in southern Syria it intends to occupy and where it will eventually build checkpoints, military outposts and settlements.

    Thanks. It's all all too in accord with my suspicions. However, I still see that sudden collapse -- or rather, sudden success -- as coming out of nowhere. It must have been more carefully prepared and orchestrated than we're led to believe. All of a sudden the rebels in the hills win in five minutes? I'm skeptical.


    Otherwise, this in particular is depressing:

    HTS is spread thinly on the ground. They are facing problems in asserting themselves. Although they had a walkover against the Syrian army, they never actually had to do much fighting. I would guess they only have about 30,000 fighting men and spread across Syria, that is not a lot.
    �
    Oh gee. Does that mean the country can be kept in a state of blood-soaked anarchy indefinitely? Would that be a bug or a feature?


    Finally, one point that is overlooked is that Turks have been getting very tired of their Syrian refugee population. Syrians were a big presence when I was there -- and that was ten years ago.

    Erdogan is definitely a populist, and he's definitely going to want to shove the Syrians back into Syria. So that's going to happen, and it won't improve matters as far as Syria is concerned. Cue media outrage at Turkish barbarities -- depending on what suits Israel, of course.

    Thanks. It’s all all too in accord with my suspicions. However, I still see that sudden collapse — or rather, sudden success — as coming out of nowhere. It must have been more carefully prepared and orchestrated than we’re led to believe. All of a sudden the rebels in the hills win in five minutes? I’m skeptical.

    Otherwise, this in particular is depressing:

    HTS is spread thinly on the ground. They are facing problems in asserting themselves. Although they had a walkover against the Syrian army, they never actually had to do much fighting. I would guess they only have about 30,000 fighting men and spread across Syria, that is not a lot.

    Oh gee. Does that mean the country can be kept in a state of blood-soaked anarchy indefinitely? Would that be a bug or a feature?

    Finally, one point that is overlooked is that Turks have been getting very tired of their Syrian refugee population. Syrians were a big presence when I was there — and that was ten years ago.

    Erdogan is definitely a populist, and he’s definitely going to want to shove the Syrians back into Syria. So that’s going to happen, and it won’t improve matters as far as Syria is concerned. Cue media outrage at Turkish barbarities — depending on what suits Israel, of course.

    I think this guy just accidentally took all the air out of the idea in ten seconds of yammering under the yamalka.

    Think of the setting first:
    1) Turkey and Israel have ALREADY been at proximity due to ongoing operations inside and above Syria for a DECADE or more
    2) Israel only fights those who cannot fight back (Arabs)
    3) The two countries are non-Arab players in an Arabic region, that is, two wolves among sheep
    4) Their list of mutual aquaintences includes the Gulf States, organized Islamic terror in general, and the USA
    5) Turkey has only recently NOT relied on Israel for equipment upgrades to F-16 fighters for example
    6) The dispute between them is all hot air on Turkey’s side and no real action to protect the Palestinian Arabs

    Now with all of the above, what REALLY has changed on the ground with the toppling of Assad? The zones of control on the map haven’t shifted all that much, Israel is closer to Damascus and Turkey was already overflying and fighting on that border with incursions against the Kurds. USA is still in there balls-deep. The Kurds are promised all things by all sides and still get shafted (nothing new going back at least to the 80s).

    Was Assad really keeping anything but Damascus, and how was that little sliver preventing Israel and Turkey from meeting in the middle?

    I don’t see the shift.

    Iran Was ‘Defeated Very Badly’ in Syria, a Top General Admits

    For weeks, Iranian officials have downplayed the fall of their ally in Syria. But an important general has offered a remarkably candid view of the blow to Iran, and its military’s prospects.



    Farnaz Fassihi
    By Farnaz Fassihi
    Jan. 8, 2025

    Iran’s top-ranking general in Syria has contradicted the official line taken by Iran’s leaders on the sudden downfall of their ally Bashar al-Assad, saying in a remarkably candid speech last week that Iran had suffered a major defeat but would still try to operate in the country.

    An audio recording of the speech, given last week by Brig. Gen. Behrouz Esbati at a mosque in Tehran, surfaced publicly on Monday in Iranian media, and was a stark contrast to the remarks of Iran’s president, foreign minister and other top leaders. They have for weeks downplayed the magnitude of Iran’s strategic loss in Syria last month, when rebels swept Mr. al-Assad out of power, and said Iran would respect any political outcome decided by Syria’s people.

    “I don’t consider losing Syria something to be proud of,†said General Esbati according to the audio recording of his speech, which Abdi Media, a Geneva-based news site focused on Iran, published on Monday. “We were defeated, and defeated very badly, we took a very big blow and it’s been very difficult.â€

    General Esbati revealed that Iran’s relations with Mr. al-Assad had been strained for months leading to his ouster, saying that the Syrian leader had denied multiple requests for Iranian-backed militias to open a front against Israel from Syria, in the aftermath of the Hamas-led attack of Oct. 7, 2023.

    Iran had presented Mr. al-Assad with comprehensive military plans on how it could use Iran’s military resources in Syria to attack Israel, he said.

    The general also accused Russia, considered a top ally, of misleading Iran by telling it that Russian jets were bombing Syrian rebels when they were actually dropping bombs on open fields. He also said that in the past year, as Israel struck Iranian targets in Syria, Russia had “turned off radars,†in effect facilitating these attacks.


    For over a decade, Iran backed Mr. al-Assad by sending commanders and troops to help it fight against opposition rebels and the Islamic State terrorist group.

    Under Mr. al-Assad, Syria was Iran’s regional command center from which it supplied weapons and money to its network of regional militias, including Hezbollah in Lebanon and Palestinian militants in the West Bank. Iran also controlled airports, warehouses and operated missile and drone manufacturing bases in Syria.

    The rebel coalition has now taken over much of Syria and is trying to form a government. General Esbati said in his speech that Iran would look for ways to recruit insurgents in whatever shape the new Syria takes.

    “We can activate all the networks we have worked with over the years,†he said. “We can activate the social layers that our guys lived among for years; we can be active in social media and we can form resistance cells.â€

    He added, “Now we can operate there as we do in other international arenas, and we have already started.â€

    The general’s comments have stunned Iranians, for both their unfiltered content and the speaker’s stature. He is a top commander of Iran’s Armed Forces, the umbrella that includes the military and the Revolutionary Guards Corps, with a record of prominent roles including commander in chief of the Armed Forces’ cyber division.

    In Syria, he supervised Iran’s military operations and coordinated closely with Syrian ministers and defense officials and with Russian generals — outranking even the commander in chief of the Quds Forces, Gen. Ismail Ghaani, who oversees the network of regional militias backed by Iran.

    Mehdi Rahmati, a prominent analyst in Tehran and expert on Syria, said in a telephone interview that General Esbati’s speech was significant because it showed that some senior officials were parting from government propaganda and leveling with the public.

    “Everyone is talking about the speech in meetings and wondering why he said these things, especially at a public forum,†Mr. Rahmati said. “He very clearly laid out what happened to Iran and where it stands now. In a way it can be a warning for domestic politics.â€

    General Esbati said the fall of the Assad regime was inevitable given the rampant corruption, political oppression and economic hardship that people faced, from lack of power to fuel to livable incomes. He said Mr. al-Assad had ignored the warnings to reform. Mr. Rahmati, the analyst, said that the comparison to Iran’s current situation was hard to miss.

    Despite the general’s assertions about activating networks, it remains unclear what Iran can realistically do in Syria, given the public and political opposition it has faced in the country and the challenges of land and air access. Israel has warned that it would decimate any Iranian efforts it detects on the ground in Syria.

    And while Iran has the experience of operating in Iraq after the U.S. invasion in 2003 — including sowing unrest — the geography and political landscape of Syria differ greatly, presenting more challenges.

    An Iranian member of the Revolutionary Guards who spent years in Iraq as a military strategist alongside senior commanders said in a telephone interview that General Esbati’s comments about Iran recruiting insurgents might be more aspirational than practical at this stage. He said that while General Esbati had admitted a serious defeat, he had also sought to boost morale and pacify conservatives demanding that Iran act more forcefully.

    The Guards official, who asked that his name not be used because he was discussing sensitive issues, said Iran’s policy had not yet been finalized but that a consensus had emerged in meetings he had attended where strategy was debated. He said Iran would benefit if Syria descended into chaos because Iran knew how to thrive and secure its interests in a turbulent landscape.

    In Iran, the Revolutionary Guards have the authority to set regional policy and overrule the foreign ministry.

    Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the last word on key state matters, has said in at least two speeches since Mr. al-Assad’s fall that resistance was not dead in Syria, adding that Syria’s youth would reclaim their country from the ruling rebels, whom he called stooges of Israel and the United States. President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi have been more conciliatory, saying they favor stability in Syria and diplomatic ties with the new government.

    The tensions surrounding these competing views on Syria preoccupied officials enough that they embarked on a campaign of damage control with the public last week. Senior military commanders and pundits close to the government gave speeches and held question-and-answer sessions with audiences in mosques and community centers in several cities.

    General Esbati’s speech, on Dec. 31 at the Valiasr mosque in central Tehran, addressed rank and file of the military and constituents of the mosque, according to a public notice of the event, titled, “Answering questions about Syria’s collapse.â€

    The session started with General Esbati telling the crowd he left Syria on the last military plane to Tehran the night before Damascus fell to rebels. It ended with him answering questions from audience members. He offered his most sobering assessment on Iran’s military capability in fighting Israel and the United States.

    Asked whether Iran would retaliate for Israel killing Hezbollah’s longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah, he replied that Iran already did, referring to a missile barrage last fall. Asked whether Iran planned to carry out a third round of direct strikes on Israel, he said that “the situation†couldn’t realistically handle another attack on Israel right now.

    Asked why Iran would not fire missiles at U.S. military bases in the region, he said that would invite bigger retaliatory attacks on Iran and its allies by the United States, adding that Iran’s regular missiles — not its advanced ones — could not penetrate advanced U.S. defense systems.

    Despite those assessments, General Esbati said that he wanted to assure everyone not to worry: Iran and its allies, he said, still had the upper hand on the ground in the region.

    He added, “Now we can operate there as we do in other international arenas, and we have already started.â€

    The general’s comments have stunned Iranians, for both their unfiltered content and the speaker’s stature. He is a top commander of Iran’s Armed Forces, the umbrella that includes the military and the Revolutionary Guards Corps, with a record of prominent roles including commander in chief of the Armed Forces’ cyber division.

    In Syria, he supervised Iran’s military operations and coordinated closely with Syrian ministers and defense officials and with Russian generals — outranking even the commander in chief of the Quds Forces, Gen. Ismail Ghaani, who oversees the network of regional militias backed by Iran.

    Mehdi Rahmati, a prominent analyst in Tehran and expert on Syria, said in a telephone interview that General Esbati’s speech was significant because it showed that some senior officials were parting from government propaganda and leveling with the public.

    “Everyone is talking about the speech in meetings and wondering why he said these things, especially at a public forum,†Mr. Rahmati said. “He very clearly laid out what happened to Iran and where it stands now. In a way it can be a warning for domestic politics.â€

    General Esbati said the fall of the Assad regime was inevitable given the rampant corruption, political oppression and economic hardship that people faced, from lack of power to fuel to livable incomes. He said Mr. al-Assad had ignored the warnings to reform. Mr. Rahmati, the analyst, said that the comparison to Iran’s current situation was hard to miss.

    Despite the general’s assertions about activating networks, it remains unclear what Iran can realistically do in Syria, given the public and political opposition it has faced in the country and the challenges of land and air access. Israel has warned that it would decimate any Iranian efforts it detects on the ground in Syria.

    And while Iran has the experience of operating in Iraq after the U.S. invasion in 2003 — including sowing unrest — the geography and political landscape of Syria differ greatly, presenting more challenges.

    An Iranian member of the Revolutionary Guards who spent years in Iraq as a military strategist alongside senior commanders said in a telephone interview that General Esbati’s comments about Iran recruiting insurgents might be more aspirational than practical at this stage. He said that while General Esbati had admitted a serious defeat, he had also sought to boost morale and pacify conservatives demanding that Iran act more forcefully.

    The Guards official, who asked that his name not be used because he was discussing sensitive issues, said Iran’s policy had not yet been finalized but that a consensus had emerged in meetings he had attended where strategy was debated. He said Iran would benefit if Syria descended into chaos because Iran knew how to thrive and secure its interests in a turbulent landscape.

    In Iran, the Revolutionary Guards have the authority to set regional policy and overrule the foreign ministry.

    Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the last word on key state matters, has said in at least two speeches since Mr. al-Assad’s fall that resistance was not dead in Syria, adding that Syria’s youth would reclaim their country from the ruling rebels, whom he called stooges of Israel and the United States. President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi have been more conciliatory, saying they favor stability in Syria and diplomatic ties with the new government.

    The tensions surrounding these competing views on Syria preoccupied officials enough that they embarked on a campaign of damage control with the public last week. Senior military commanders and pundits close to the government gave speeches and held question-and-answer sessions with audiences in mosques and community centers in several cities.

    General Esbati’s speech, on Dec. 31 at the Valiasr mosque in central Tehran, addressed rank and file of the military and constituents of the mosque, according to a public notice of the event, titled, “Answering questions about Syria’s collapse.â€

    The session started with General Esbati telling the crowd he left Syria on the last military plane to Tehran the night before Damascus fell to rebels. It ended with him answering questions from audience members. He offered his most sobering assessment on Iran’s military capability in fighting Israel and the United States.

    Asked whether Iran would retaliate for Israel killing Hezbollah’s longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah, he replied that Iran already did, referring to a missile barrage last fall. Asked whether Iran planned to carry out a third round of direct strikes on Israel, he said that “the situation†couldn’t realistically handle another attack on Israel right now.

    Asked why Iran would not fire missiles at U.S. military bases in the region, he said that would invite bigger retaliatory attacks on Iran and its allies by the United States, adding that Iran’s regular missiles — not its advanced ones — could not penetrate advanced U.S. defense systems.

    Despite those assessments, General Esbati said that he wanted to assure everyone not to worry: Iran and its allies, he said, still had the upper hand on the ground in the region.

    This is from the same New York Times that falsely claimed Musk had a meeting with Iranian officials? Even the pathetic low IQ moron Keith Jones at the World Socialist Web Site fell for that one. When once competent sources like the WSWS start treating legacy media as "reliable sources," you know things are worse than they actually appear.

    They are literally just fabricating stories out of thin air again, creating make-believe "sources" like the incompetent Baltimore Sun reporter in "The Wire." Though if I'm not mistaken, the Times has been caught red handed many times before in the last couple decades doing this. But I don't think they are going to start apologize, let alone admitting that they are lying so shamelessly.

    Post a few more articles about how Israel is winning and completely destroyed Iran's missile production facilities and completely neutralized their nuclear program and how the Israeli economy is booming and all the ports are busy and Iran is on the brink of collapse.

    With all this unstoppable winning, I'm surprised the United States hasn't conquered the whole of West Asia by now. What's taking so long?

    I'm not insane. HTS is currently in talks with the US to end sanctions.

    It's not an extremist group. Turkey was not trying to setup a new ISIL.

    I don't know the future of Syria but that is the current situation. HTS wants normalized relations with the US and EU and that would mean a flood of US contractors.

    Wikipedia articles are largely written by employees of federal agencies and various intelligence services. These kinds of articles are the worst offenders because they are ideological and propaganda backgrounds. Most of the sources used throughout that article, and especially in the section alleging Turkish military support, are suspect or outright unreliable. Most, if not all of these kinds of allegations are based on so-called "testimony" and anyone can make up a story.

    With any group that Iran supports, you will find these kinds of allegations and worse, because they (Turkey, NATO, etc) are desperate to discredit Iranian proxies and create internal divisions and conflicts with other militant groups. They do a good at writing Wikipedia articles, but in the real world not so much.

    Turkey is deathly afraid of Iran using the Kurds against them and only Iran has the ability to unite the various Kurdish factions (even those that have previously opposed Iran) together in a united front against the Turkish menace. I think the love affair between some of the Kurds and the United States and Israel is beginning to unravel. The Kurds always miscalculated in their relationship with the Zionists and they are getting severely burned.

    The Torah is the Old Testament, most of the Holy Bible. It belongs to Christians, not the Jews who believe in themselves and have no divine purpose ever since they forced the crucifixion of Jesus the Christ, very God and very man. Jesus exposed the Jews as “children of the devil” and their “traditions” i.e., their Talmud, as counter to God’s law, bizarre to the extreme and bearing no relation to the law delivered to Moses and written. In A.D.70 God destroyed Israel, Jerusalem, and the temple, some 37 years after Jesus resurrection from the dead, handing the mission of evangelizing the world with the good news that Jesus has redeemed God’s elect from the eternal wrath of God the Father. The Jews were “unchosen” officially in A.D.70, all God’s promises of prosperity and land were contingent on keeping God’s law which the Israelites never did longer than the first two generations in the promised land, the life of a Judge, and the life of a righteous King of Judah. God booted them out of Palestine and that is why the Jews are murdering the indigenous Semitic people of Palestine and seizing their land: Because the Jews were driven out by God. The only reason things are so brutal in the world today is that the Jews have successfully neutered the Christian church. That is not a permanent situation however, as even self-professed Christians cannot rationalize killing children just because those children are living on land the Jews want to seize.

    A quiet conversation in the Knesset -

    Givr: I'm worried about Trump. He said Biden broke a deal by trying to get Ukraine into NATO. He sounded like he might go back to that deal.

    Netanyahu: That would be a problem, but it wouldn't affect us directly.

    Givr: But what if he says we broke the original deal in the Balfour declaration? That deal said Palestinians would have full rights. Ben Gurion's plan was to break that deal, and we did, completely. Of course the Palestinians are animals, but we did massacre and terrorize them and take their lands.

    Netanyahu: So what do you think we should do?

    Givr: I think we should make another try at taking him out, before he's in office. We control enough of Congress to pick a compromise candidate for president, someone we definitely control. And it would be a strong signal to everyone else.

    Netanyahu: I don't think it would work. His security is very tight now. And we don't have time to plan something carefully enough. It would be too risky. It could backfire badly. If it failed we'd be looking at the mother of all investigations. And if it succeeded the public outcry would be very hard to quiet. Kennedy is already out there talking about re-examining the JFK assassination. It could pull on a lot of threads.

    Givr: So what do you think we should do?

    Netanyahu: We should keep up our PR offensive. Make sure the American public knows who are the good guys and the bad guys. Keep hitting Putin and the Palestinians. Second, we need to keep up the pressure on our people in Congress. No wavering. Remind them who's in charge, the carrots and sticks. Third, we should kill as many Palestinians as possible before Trump gets into office.

    Givr: How can we kill 2 million Gazans in 2 weeks?

    Netanyahu: Starvation can kill a whole population quickly. Remember, in Deuteronomy Yahweh said, "Leave nothing alive that breathes." Our people are united in following our God's orders.

    Since when does the US have a problem cutting lose it's proxies, especially if it means benefits for Israel? The Kurds have been a useful wedge to disrupt strong countries in the region which may have threatened Israeli influence, if they become a hindrance to that goal they will simply be abandoned. America completely abandoned Afghanistan even though Bagram airbase is the largest outside the US and was going to be used to hit China from multiple directions. Those long term neocon ambitions were dropped overnight so the US could devote it's full attention to the Jewish junta in ukraine.

In order to ensure Russia's long-term security the American Empire must be defeated and not allowed to regroup. Don't bank on peace in Ukraine. Moreover, further conflict in the ME in support of Israel would end the Empire which would collapse under the weight of its over-leveraged debts. As a speaker of Russian as a second language I also follow Russian news and noticed only one side seems to be constantly begging for peace in Ukraine.

    There is a bigger game here. However, let's see if your judging of Putin as a backstabber is on the mark. We now know that Russia and Iran offered, in 2018, to modernize, equip and train the Syrian Army. Instead, Bashar chose to listen to the Gulf Arabs and take their advice to turn his back on Iran and Russia and instead warm up relations with the US. If you remember Bashar was welcomed back into the Arab League as the long lost brother. So, who backstabbed Bashar, was it Putin or was it the Arabs. It is not Putin's job to fight for Syria after Bashar ran away.

    Didn't Erdogan ask for an audience with Bashar, before he fled to Russia? What if Turkey is the only Muslim nation that can unite the Muslim Armies in the Area including the Egyptian Army, whose
    NCOs are ready to eat alSisi alive for being Israel's puppet and refusing huminatarian aid to the Palestinians whom they consider brothers?
    Could Erdogan help the Muslim Brotherhood overthrow alSisi and bring the Egyptian Army to tame Israel in the South, while Turkey tames Israel in the North? Add to this bulwark Iran and Lebanon and the calculus changes for the Israeli reservists army.
    Could the Muslim countries on the Med with Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Lybia and Algeria form under a Turkish coalition a total control over energy flows into Europe and through the Suez?

    With Trumps announcement that his America will establish full spectrum energy dominance, this neans dominance over sources and sea lanes. This could mean Egypt will lose the Sinai and its full autonomy over the canal. With this in mind, could it be that Erdogan has just committed Turkey to the Brics and is building a counter weight to Trumps energy dominance by uniting all Arab armies on the Med? No Arab can do this, only a Muslim can, and whatever Erdogan is, he is the only one on station.

    With the US sinking in the quicksands of debt and compounded intrest, it will be near impossible for the Empire to take them all on. Should the AIPAC succeed to convince the US Senate to go to war, it should be the end of the Empire.

    So, do you still think Putin backstabbed Bashar or perhaps got out of the way to let Erdogan, the Muslim, handle it: while Putin deals with the Empire in Ukraine. The Russian bases are still there, because HTS didn't object, because Turkey might step in and borrow the base from Russia with its air defense system. That would truly worry the Israelis.

    These are all questions, because the ME teaches that nothing appears as it really is and making definitive conclusions about events can be a role of the dice, even for those in the know.

  • Since when does the US have a problem cutting lose it’s proxies, especially if it means benefits for Israel? The Kurds have been a useful wedge to disrupt strong countries in the region which may have threatened Israeli influence, if they become a hindrance to that goal they will simply be abandoned. America completely abandoned Afghanistan even though Bagram airbase is the largest outside the US and was going to be used to hit China from multiple directions. Those long term neocon ambitions were dropped overnight so the US could devote it’s full attention to the Jewish junta in ukraine. Unless Turkey starts helping the Palestinians or Houthis or cuts the pipelines going into Israel this is nothing more than meaningless blustering.

    Too late.

    Syria is already de facto balkanized. israel holds Syrian territory almost up to Damascus. The Kurds supported by the U.S. control a fifth, give or take, in the northwest. Alawites, Al Assad’s homies control a bit of erstwhile Syria, with washington’s head choppers (HTS) controlling a good chunk of it’s interior. I am not sure precisely what Turkey possesses, but Erdogan has already indicated he wants to restore the Ottoman empire. That means a great chunk of Syria must be conquered by Turkey.

    There is NO WAY a political path exists for Syria to remain whole. Short of massive U.S. military intervention, there is no force capable of subjugating Syria in it’s entirety given the competing objectives of Turkey and israel not to mention the Kurds

    The U.S. has, of it’s own stupid policies, found itself as the middle marker in a tug of war – likely soon to become a real war – between it’s ‘iron-clad’ ally, israel, and it’s NATO ally Turkey. This, along with the Ukrainian meat grinder has the potential of breaking NATO (we can only hope).

  • Long story short: zionist Jews, since even before the 1967 Israeli attack on the U.S.S. Liberty off the coast of Egypt, had already bought off/ co-opted the U.S. presidency of LBJ and congress. That’s why asshole LBJ and robert macnamera deliberately and forcefully called off ALL fighter jets from coming to the rescue of the Liberty. Disgusting!

    That was 58 years ago; and the zionist control of the U.S. government has only become even stronger and more permanent. The usa is now an Israeli owned and operated entity. How else can you explain Biden sending 22 BILLION dollars of military “aid” to Israel since October 2023? Meanwhile, Americans live in a country with a decrepit infrastructure, broken down underfunded schools, and ZERO taxpayer benefits for the taxpayers! Taxpayer money all goes to fucking zionist israel! WTF!?

    One can only conclude that zionist israel owns and operates the u.s. government. Be it Trump or Biden, both are brown-nosing cucks for zionist israel. And it’s only going to get worse in the coming years. usa is toast. might as well call it “israel minor” at this point. it’s gone. history. kaput.

    Another wild card that isn't mentioned is the nuclear weapons stored at the American base in Turkey. Could the Turks confiscate those weapons? It wouldn't be that difficult for them to storm that base and take it over. Maybe we should avoid foreign entanglements and concern ourselves with our own nation. Bring all of the troops home, with their weapons, and clean house. We want to live in a Republic again. Fuck the middle east, we were never meant to be there in the first place.

    What’s so shocking about the excerpt is that it proves that neither Israel, Turkey nor the United States had a plan for the “day after†Assad was gone. … They just blundered ahead into a situation that can only end in war.

    Turkey is not an independent actor here. Who are we kidding? Hosting a nato base, with tenuous ties to Europe, Turkey can easily be Assad-ed into bankruptcy if it steps out of line.

    So this Israeli fretting is most clearly a fake narrative to justify further Israeli strategic territorial gains.

    We can’t seriously be falling for this swooning self-pitying act which will inevitably be followed by further savage barbarity.

    [the three Israeli media articles]They tell us that no one was prepared for the fall of the Assad and that –as a result– no one developed a coherent plan for establishing security, preserving a contiguous state, or ending the hostilities.

    No, there very well is a plan, and it’s the same, at-nausea repeated plan for “the greater Israel.â€

    Today, we’re simply at the beginning of Act 4. (Nakba 48, 67 war, Gaza 23). With the subjugation of the Western governments and the dragging into the mud of all their principles and institutions, this would make quite a novel if it wasn’t so criminal.

    The Sudan “civil war” is a war where both sides are controlled by the our fake Jewish Friends
    In this “civil war” it is those Sudanese who spoke out for free elections who have been targeted and killed by both sides in this so called war

    Remember in Sudan the leaders of both of the opposing gangs have publicly kissed Israel’s ring.

    Where Erdogan, being an Israeli double agent, will collude with the squatters to have a Kabuki Theater war in Syria

    During this Kabuki Theater war a reign of terror will envelope Syria where anyone suspected of being a possible leader against the fake Jewish criminal gang will be tortured and liquidated.

    Yeah, and I believe that this little bit of heart warming theatre started with none other than President Jimmy (that nice guy smile) Carter, for whom we are told we should be now grieving for 30 days.

    A war to destroy the Turkish strongman will bring about the long awaited WWIII and it'll eventually engulf the entire world but hopefully, some remnants of humanity will survive to carry on.

    The Jews want him gone. But would like Turkey kept in NATO.

    "The Jews want him gone."

    So do a lot of the Turks... they have had enough of the Arab style religious zealotry.

    I've been thinking the same thing about the Russian reaction to the events in Syria. In order to ensure Russia's long-term security the American Empire must be defeated and not allowed to regroup. Don't bank on peace in Ukraine. Moreover, further conflict in the ME in support of Israel would end the Empire which would collapse under the weight of its over-leveraged debts. As a speaker of Russian as a second language I also follow Russian news and noticed only one side seems to be constantly begging for peace in Ukraine. Moscow has the upper hand now, and must remain "open to talks" nothing more for the sake of Russia's image. Just my 2 kopecks

    They will just keep turning Ukraine into crumble.

    ...there is no plan, no strategy, nothing. Our foreign policy mandarins are simply improvising, making it up as they go along, and reacting to events as they unfold.

    And that is precisely how nations sleepwalk into world wars.

    Well, maybe not in this case.

    I have a dream.

    My dream is that Russia, China, Iran, and Liechtenstein maintain a neutral stance and refuse to participate.

    My dream is that Israel, the US, and Turkey slug it out no holds barred and nuke the hell out of each other.

    My dream is the ultimate remake of Godzilla vs King Kong vs Mothra and may the best monster win.

    My dream is that before I die I may erase from my brain the images of von der Leyen, Macron, Biden, et al al al al rushing to Israel post Oct. 7, 2023 and embracing Nitwityahoo.

    ROTFLOL, that’s the best reference to the rabid dog known as the israeli premier I’ve ever seen. I will use it in the future. Nitwityahoo, a perfect description of the boob. There’s no coming back from rabies.

  • Go to war against Turkey, yes, that’s a very sound idea indeed. What an admirable, compelling case you have made! We Jews are the world’s preeminent statesmen. Yes by all means we Jews must defend our right to exist!
