What the US does when they want to make problems around the world is they find some group that already has grievances with whoever they want to destroy.
When they are doing color revolutions, as we are seeing in Georgia, they go for the grievance tri-force of women, homosexuals, and students. That is a standard play. When they are doing war, they find minority groups and political extremists.
They supported neo-Nazis in the Ukraine. Their anti-Taliban coalition in Afghanistan was mostly made of non-Pashtun ethnics. In Myanmar, they are arming both communists and ethnic minority groups. They do the same in Syria, funding Islamist terrorists and Kurds.
RT:
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a US-backed military coalition dominated by Kurdish groups, has seized the eastern Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor, according to Reuters.
Two security sources based in eastern Syria have reportedly told the outlet that the SDF had taken full control of the city by Friday afternoon.
SDF forces also reportedly control several neighborhoods in Aleppo that are encircled by islamist insurgents.
Activists from a local media outlet with contacts in the city told Reuters that Syrian government forces and Iraqi fighters backed by Iran had withdrawn from Deir ez-Zor before the SDF stormed in.
The SDF was reportedly also advancing towards the Syrian town of Albukamal, an Iraqi security source claimed, noting that the border-city could be seized within the next 24 hours.
The SDF advance follows last week’s surprise assault by militant forces in Syria, which was led by the terrorist group Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS), formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra. The insurgents have driven back government forces and captured significant chunks of territory in Aleppo and Idlib and surrounded the key city of Hama on Thursday. They are advancing towards Syria’s third-largest city, Homs, according to media reports on Friday.
The general commander of SDF, Mazloum Abdi, reportedly said on Friday they have been in touch with the HTS.
“We have contact with Tahrir al-Sham through many channels, typically regarding the protection of our people in Aleppo. Apparently, we have never clashed with them,” Abdi told journalists during a press conference on Friday, as quoted by Rudaw Media Network.
They have more than “contacts.” It’s been well-established that these groups are allied together, with both of them funded, trained, and armed by the United States.
This is a decent livemap site to allow you to understand the basic situation in Syria.
The war never really ended, it just cooled down. During the hot part of the war, the “Syrian Democratic Forces,” which is a Kurdish terrorist group, ethnically cleansed much of the northeast of the country along the border with Turkey and Iraq, where the Kurds are attempting to establish a Kurdistan state.
Whenever the US talks about how the “rules-based order” means that Russia cannot change the borders of the Ukraine, everyone brings up the fact that the US government changed the borders of Serbia. Although that is a good example, their support of Kurdistan, right now, is perhaps more apt.
Going back to when he was Vice-President, Joe Biden has pushed for the establishment of a Kurdistani state through stealing land from Syria, Turkey, and Iraq. All the war back during the Iraq war, the US faggots established an autonomous Kurd region inside of Iraq. After the US began withdrawing its troops from Iraq, the Iraqis attempted to get back control of this territory, and the US began bombing the Iraqi military to protect the Kurds. It was very natural for Obama to support Kurd terrorist groups in Syria, which they had already trained and heavily armed inside of Iraq, and of course, instead of calling it the “Socialist Kurdistan Liberation Front,” call it “Syrian Democratic Forces.”
The US government propaganda got faggots soyjaking over the fact that the SDF, like their Israeli allies, does photo-ops with women soldiers.
In real life, there is no such thing as a “Vagina Army,” but it sells. The red star is a nice touch. This was all over the “current thing” Twitter accounts when the war was hot, and no doubt will be again soon.
It was very obvious that part of the US-Israel plan for the region was going to involve the reactivation of the “Syrian Civil War.” I had been saying this since the beginning.
This will all just play out the same. There will be massive movements of “refugees” (most of whom will not be actual refugees) into Europe and the media/government will say this is Assad’s fault and that’s why we need to keep supporting terrorists in the region.
Syria is right in the Middle of all of this, bordering Israel and connected to Iran through the “Shia Belt” that runs through Iraq. The US has proven that they can operate large-scale operations in the country, and this is clearly what they are going for.
Based on what I’ve seen, it’s not particularly relevant that this flair-up happened during the transition period. Biden and Trump both have the same policies on the Middle East, an “everything for Israel” approach, so the timing is likely a coincidence. However, this is obviously going to play a big part in the coming US escalations in the region that will happen under Trump’s government.
Most likely, there will be a new ISIS, and the right in America will make the argument they are fighting them, while the left is fed images of female soldiers doing a socialist revolution against the patriarchy. Americans will support it, because they will support anything. The right will be told it’s a masculine endeavor to take out the terrorists, while the left will be convinced Trump is not doing enough for “Vagina Army.”
The Kurd Communists have been Zionist proxies since the Shah was backing them in the 70s and perhaps before.
It’s important to remember that Kurds are a widespread ethnic group (they go pretty far East there are hundreds of thousands in Afghanistan and Eastern Iran, they are nomadic peoples, there is no such thing as a “Kurdish homeland”), the Communist Kurd Jew allies do not represent the Kurdish population as a whole.
Women terrorist formations, LOL. Will someone take them out with extreme prejudice?
I’ll stay white-pilled as usual, hysteria and trolling is off the wall right now.
As for the Kurds, they seem to be troublemakers in a lot of ME countries and in Turkiye [sic]. You give them a breathing space in one town and the first thing they do is to help their family in the next town, ad infinitum. They always seem to have friends from far away, their neighbours don’t seem to ever like them.
I think they do use female soldiers ,Turkish soldiers and ISIS like to post images online of female Kurdish KIAs, often with their pants pulled down to humiliate them.
The notion that dusky brown fugee people are bristling to move back into Syria from let’s say Germany, is a laughable notion. The biggest loser here is the Christmas Market owner in Cologne. He’s about to have a cluster of new refugees rampaging in the market square.
Thanks Jews!
The hypothetical Kurdish homeland is addressed in Anabasis. The Kurds harass the retreating Hoplites through the Long March home. It is what they do.
Kurds, the only people on earth keen to create a completely landlocked state that in a thorn in practically every other neighbor’s side.
As I remember without electronic aid Hayat Tarrir Al Sham [sic] used to be Jhabad Al Nusra [sic] and with Jolani [sic} were part of the forces of democracy created by Western intelligence and boosted in Western media as being moderate, but lots of beheading snuff smartphone video appeared at the same time.
Turkey seems to enable them, and a lot of other groups like Kurds and Druze fake or real are stirring up trouble, maybe coordinated, maybe just strategic opportunism.
I’ll go with Assad manages to stay in power by outlasting it, like before, even with Israeli and US attack that seem to be aimed at weakening the Syrian Arab Army.
I’ll take Assad over Arab Spring 2 since Israel and the US would benefit from all this. Ukrainians are just technicians, mercenaries, contractors.
Both sides do the same things, like proxy and asymmetric warfare and the West seems to be expecting some kind of change with Trump, and getting their kicks in in case the transition will break their speed. no google
A smart Russian leader, if he really supported Assad, would be arming Kurds in Turkey right about now.
Kurds are fake.
The plan must be to get Israel and its genocide out of the news, not only are the thugs on duty discrediting themselves, they are sinking monotheism as the most advanced religion in the world.
With several large massacres of Syrian civilians by mercenaries paid by the West, the media will be responsible for blaming Russia, China and Iran and forgetting about Biden’s 5,000-pound bombs, used by the Israelis to defend themselves from Palestinian children entrenched in their schools.
I’ve never met one but they cannot possibly be as bad as Haitians.
So the Iranians are rapidly exiting Syria, and the Russians are already gone. The Russian ships have all left the naval base. The Takfiris are entering Damascus already. Assad’s family has fled to Russia. A couple of more days and it will be over. Checkmate, Erdogen.
It seems that the United States is trying to pretend that it had no part in the terrorist attack on Syria and according to a front man for Natanyahu, a certain Tzipy Hotovely, he says that Israel is helping the mercenaries against Syria, an aid that must be of American origin because Israel also needs help to maintain its own genocide.
It is possible that the United States is being kept out of the media in order to give Trump the opportunity to sell himself as a man of peace when he is president, at least in the first days after that it will be more of the same.
Bin Laden was the US’s ally in Afghanistan.
Al Queda was the US’s enemy in 2001.
It’s the US’s ally now.
Strange how that works.
I hope, hope you are wrong from beginning to end, Rangewolf.
A horrible situation. It proves PCR correct in his ongoing criticisms of Putin. If Russia had hit the Ukraine hard enough in the beginning, leaving a landlocked rump, they would have sufficient forces to wipe out the “democratic” terrorists in the only democracy in the Middle East. Syria is hated by America because it, Syria, is a democracy, with a hugely popular president.
Nice guy who was a mechanic once but they are a perpetual nationless state and want the state established as a landlocked entity. Lol. It’s such a dumb nationalism.
This mayhem can be traced back to Putins unwillingness to win the war in Ukraine with carpet bombing Ukraine back to the stone age.
America will not stop until Russia is broken up or they’re completely destroyed, the U.S is playing WW3 and Putin is playing Tiddlywinks.
We see how Israel is playing…they’ve playing for keeps, do you think in one hundred years time anyone will remember the Palistinians once they’re wiped out?
You want to defeat these evil Bastards then you have to get down and dirty and attack them where they live.
A block of flats blown up in the Hague…now who would like to send a message to the Dutch?
Where is China?
Yes, in 2021 election Assad received 95% of the vote. This is of course completely legit and precisely the result that could be expected with economy under Assad’s leadership shrinking every year since 2011, more than 60% of the population officially poor and 7 million displaced. Nothing to see here.
Yeah, nothing to see here, just the usual Globohomoshlomo AZE social and economic destabilization and regime change play run. Every. Single. Time. Same playbook, same play run. But I guess until some defense can stop it, they’ll keep running it.
Nothing to do with being landlocked and assailed on all sides. No illegal invasion here.
Hard seeing Syria exit after this. A coastal Phoenicia; an inland Israel dominated Damascus and an East River Kurdish state. Aleppo annexed by Turkey.
Glad my comments are all here. Everyone is making money while sending their young actionable men to die. The consolidated future is being ironed out right now by all sides. The only question is when Americans and Chinese directly confront to bring them both down a few notches. Lmao everyone wants their shekels.
Definitely not, since Syria is not landlocked.
the russians conducted a naval exercise in the mediterranean readying the hypersonic missile response, letting the whole mediterranean know the are within reach of unstoppable russian missiles and returned back to tartus.
you are spreading nafo propaganda whether you know it or not. all of this is just to keep israeli warcrimes out of the press, all they have is propaganda, which works on the ignorant western masses but it doesn’t win wars.
Ha ha Ra ga. With the country under huge attack and the president doing better in their defense than seemed possible, is it strange that the people rallied around him?
Treasonous jews are, once again, leading the world to war. And Donald Trump, the jews’ shabbos goy, will soon (officially) be leading the charge. Now you know, America. You’re welcome.
“readying the hypersonic missile response”
WUNDERWAFFEN!!!
Putin’s only “response” will be to fly Assad over to Latakia and attempt to set up a rump state along the coast. Or avoid further embarrassment and fly him directly to Moscow, where there is currently a shortage of dentists.
Damascus is largely Sunni. The ports are Alawite. So yes he who controls Damascus only controls the ports if he’s an Alawite.
The French chose to have Alawite leaders in Syria because that was needed to keep some sort of port open to their colonial enterprise in Syria.
The Kurds are landlocked, the Sunni in Syria are landlocked. The rebels are landlocked. The Alawites control the sea ports.
Yes it is very strange, 95% of the vote going to the incumbent is pretty much unheard of in any legitimate elections. Given the economic situation in Syria it would be beyond astonishing.
Yes, and Assad family ruling Syria for the last 50 years is Alawite. So no, being landlocked is not responsible for Syria’s current economic troubles. Who controls the ports might become relevant at some point, should the country split into a number of separate territories – but that’s not what I was talking about.
you drift off into your usual medley of “duur wimmun and nigerz are teh suk ANAAAAAAAAL” but the last paragraph comes close to being right and/or cogent. not to spam post (something i spent 20 minutes of a decent buzz typing out) , but i just left this on escobar’s piece and it applies to this as well, so:
all the doom and gloom – while “not wrong” in this case – just reminds me of every stunt pulled by the ukies and their handlers that had headlines screeching about “the war is totes over we’re marching moscow lol”. that said:
everyone is bitching about china but who do they think can supply the industrial capacity and funding to keep these cunts at bay?
the two main problems are that slimy fuck erdogan and (sorry, simps) putin. between his pussy handling of ukraine (in defiance of the common sense of those surrounding him) and his insatiable appetite for netanyahu’s saggy balls he’s let a lot of this happen. he could make up for it by supplying a batch of fresh oreshniks to tehran but probably won’t.
and for the retards gloating over this, keep in mind what and who it took to make it happen:
the immediate victims will be hezbollah because their supposed supply lines are supposedly cut. then again the hebrew himmlers said they “took out hezbollah’s arsenal” only to end up as an arse ‘n all. in any case, the “israelis” have now outsourced the shia portion of their genocide to assholes who “identify as” sunnis. once again sunni arab dumb fucks have proven they’re basically levite zionist vermin LARPing as “muslims”.
if things don’t get too apocalyptic in lebanon too soon and iraq holds strong it might take some bearable turns. maybe it’s time for the axis to start treating jordan, egypt and “kurdistan” the way the blob has treated syria. one good toppling deserves another.
PS fuck al jazeera and middle east eye in their fake-pro-palestinian asses. HARD. with a fucking bayonet.

You don’t hear much about Libya 13 years after Gaddafi was killed. Doesn’t mean it’s a functioning state though. It just doesn’t have a convenient hate figure for journalists to razz. Still producing chaos and refugees for Europeans without the strongman.
Overland routes perhaps but not shipping. That’s the point of sea ports.
Tartus is a revictualization port. It’s not a Base, certainly not in the same sense that Sevastopol is. It became a base of sorts during 2014-19. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here Horatio Hornblower
If you look at Damascus it is oddly inaccessible to the sea. Lebanon (Sykes Picot strikes again) blocks direct sea access. Everything overland goes to Tartus via Homs within Syria proper. Homs is not friendly to either Damascus or Tartus. Homs was a Center of anti Alawite rule.
It’s an unworkable country and Damascus was always a pretty strange place to have the capital given the demographics and map of the ethnic groups. Yes, it’s landlocked by design.
WTF are you on about?!? If you look at Canberra it is oddly inaccessible to the sea – does that make Australia landlocked now? Plenty of capitals are not by the sea, there’s absolutely no rule saying they should be. Moreover if Syrians didn’t like their capital being in Damascus they could’ve moved it somewhere else – they were an independent country. Syria has coastline and ports ergo it was not landlocked, the end.
normally i’d take offense to that but i guess i deserved it. lol
“Alawites control the seaports”
not anymore: here is footage of Al-Julani’s gunsels taking over Tartus:
thoough apparently some kind of deal has been struck between the neo-Jihadi regime that will give the Russians time to make an “orderly exit”.
as to Iran, this clip also includes footage of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus getting thoroughly trashed.
Fight might ensue between Kurds and the rest. Rest can eventually coalesce into a mix of Shia,Sunni, HTS, Al Quaida,Hizbullah, Houthi , Saudi and Iran . Sunni diehards might have received help from Israel. But there is no love lost between Israel and any Shia or Sunni outfit.
Turkey might allow or even encourage this .
Israel might face a dreadful winter sooner than later. Kurds will try to scupper this formation. But this can become worst nightmares for Israel and US. HTS is not demanding lands from surrounding countries. HTS will not allow Israel grab lands . HTS has shed old outfits disheartening US and Israel. It is not embarking on slaughtering which has already pissed Israel and US off. Their attacks signfiy worries .
If Russia can work to this angle and mobilize Saudi and Iran to cooperate to this goal,winners woukd be Russia Iran and Saudi .
