— Notice how Western propaganda always aims to reduce Russia to 'Putin'?

This is because they want to shape the image that the Russian people and government are divided and that Russia is nothing more than a personal dictatorship (which it isn't).

They never say 'Russian warship', it's always 'POOTIN SHIP'. Why didn't they say 'Putin warship opens fire on Scholz army helicopter'?

The helicopter was allowed to be German, but the ship must be PUTIN.

The 'Iraqi parliament authorizing intervention in Syria' is false, no such thing took place in the last few hours.

The full picture.

Jun Kim has his priorities straight.

Bro has tried NINE times, NINE TIMES, to capture Hama.

I highly doubt it'll work out this time.

— 🇸🇾 Many people have asked for my opinion about Syria, so here's my take:

I don't necessarily love Assad, mostly due to him being a secular. However, I don't really dislike him either, because I don't believe in all the Western-backed propaganda about him. He's also quite socially conservative despite being a secular, which I respect, and he is a supporter of the Palestinian cause and the Resistance Axis, which is a major plus.

Regarding the rest, I'll keep this very simple:

Syria's stability is necessary for the security of the region. It is also necessary for the continued flow of Iranian weapons to Hezbollah. If Hezbollah is weakened, Israel's focus will shift to Iran, and the entire Resistance Axis will be at risk.

Additionally, Syria also currently poses a strategic threat to Israel, because Assad is openly hostile towards it. It acts as a sort of 'buffer zone' between Israel and other regional nations. It's the first line of defense.

If the current Syrian government collapses, there will be major internal chaos and struggles between the various opposition groups, to an extent never seen before, which will jeopardize one of the most strategically and geopolitically important countries in the Middle East. Syria will be extremely unstable, and it will be a breeding ground for terrorism, even more than in 2014/15. There would probably be a resurgence of ISIS, or worse.

In the unlikely event that one of the warring opposition factions does eventually win and establish a nationwide government, it will likely be more pro-West, more liberal, and by extension more friendly towards Israel. This 'new Syria' would likely not freely allow the flow of Iranian arms into Lebanon, nor would it act as a buffer zone against Israel. And if we get unlucky, it will be openly pro-West and it might even establish relations with Israel. A major new enemy will exist in our region.

Long story short, we need a strong and stable Syria, and as of now, Assad is our only real option. That is why I will always support the SAA. Besides, Syria was one of the only countries to help Iran during the war against Iraq, and we do not forget old friends.

— 🇬🇧 NEW: British Minister Alistair Carns says that the regular British army could be wiped out completely in as little as six months if forced to fight a major war on the scale of the Ukraine conflict.

@Middle_East_Spectator

I'm just lost for words. If we're not going to fight we might as well hand over Damascus to HTS and stop wasting our time. I know I'll get shit for this, but this is truly a disgrace.

For the record, I still believe that the SAA will win eventually, but this is just hard to watch.
