-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Wow, no attempt to hide that they’re an illegitimate settler colonial state…

Yeah like there's no mask even to take off but this still seems like a new goose-step forward

Given that the media fully supports them, and it's politicsl suicide not support Israel in all Western nations, it's not surprising they're able to do what they want in the open.

mind boggling that isisreal can topple Syria's government, storm Syrian land, systematically bomb Syrian military/defense assets, and more, all with the so-called civilized, allegedly pro-democracy "West"'s approval.

if any country did this - or attemped a fraction of what israel has achieved - the imperial core would do everything in its power to destroy them.

You have to wonder if part of the rationale or hope in using extremist Al Qaeda proxies and ISIS in Syria was to create a situation that would give the zionist entity a veneer of an excuse to go in for their own security once it fell.

I have no doubt this wasn't the main reason, facts being they just prefer and have had past great success using Islamist extremist proxies but you have to wonder if they took measures to ensure that say the SDF wouldn't come out on top in Syria which were that to happen the zionists wouldn't have an excuse to do land-grabs under the guise of security. Which only furthers my opinion that really the SDF, Rojava, etc were puppets who were disposable from the beginning, the US was going to use them and throw them away in favor of their more preferred Islamist toys who actually destabilize regions and give them an excuse to operate their military there. In other words it's a bitter pill as those people may have to reckon with the fact that they joined up with the US, helped them steal oil and destabilize Syria under the idea that they had to defend themselves against ISIS which was IMO another US creation and proxy. The US is a real puppet-master here pulling a lot of strings.

Really Syria has unfolded ideally for the US, it's textbook what they want to do to Russia and China. That is fragmentation/balkanization via sectarian violence with them arming, creating, helping all the sides against the central government and playing them off each other and ensuring a vacuum of power that is rife for strife, struggle, and extremism for decades to come once they succeed. All while pretending to be only helping the public relations acceptable good guy side.

"Our military operations here are meant to settle people here, which in turn will justify our military operations here."

More countries need to learn to use landmines; make settler a climate.

More countries need to learn to use landmines; make settler a climate.

That ain't sufficient enough, they need to make a scorched-earth policy, on top of that, so that any settler-land is nullified of their benefits...

And he was fucking glib at the announcement.

This is going to break US relations with the very rebels we funded to success in Syria. No way do they take a massive loss of territory lying down, which means they'll get into conflict with Isreal, which means they'll get on America's shit list, which means they'll go to Russia in search of allies, and we're gonna be right back to where we were at (from a regional strategic perspective) when the whole fucking war started - only this time instead of a baathist dictator they'll have a salafi one.

I guess that's the theme for America's interventions in the middle east. Decades of death and destruction only for things to go right back to how they were.

‘Syria will not engage in conflict with Israel’: HTS chief breaks silence on Israeli assaults from Iranian press:

Syria’s de-facto new ruler has broken his silence on the Israeli regime’s ongoing assaults on the Arab nation since President Bashar al-Assad was overthrown, saying that Damascus “will not engage” in a conflict with Tel Aviv.

“We are not about to engage in a conflict with Israel,” Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) leader Ahmed al-Sharaa said on Syrian TV on Saturday, citing the country’s “weakened state” as the reason.

It’s already very clear that HTS listens to what the US tells them.

I didn't know about that statement... but we'll see how long it lasts.
