🇸🇾 How HTS' ground strategy intersected with America, 'Israel's' project in Syria | Al Mayadeen
...As the so-called "Syrian opposition" was pumped with funding and logistical support - directly by #Turkey and thus, secondarily by the US, #UK, and “Israel", the Syrian army was withered down, in need of serious rehabilitation and support. Syrian Army members reportedly received only $40 a month, thanks to years of #US sanctions and the adverse effects of hybrid warfare.
In 2018, #Russia advised #Syria that its army needed bottom-up rehabilitation, and Damascus was faced with the challenge of needing to shore up $200 billion in reconstruction nationally. As Syria struggled with these reconstructive challenges, #Assad resorted to reconciliations and negotiations that put a defensive approach in the backseat - but the foundation enabling an easy collapse, mutiny, and takeover had been set, 6 years before #HTS’ late November 2024 invasion...

US President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated image of himself depicting him as the pope, wearing a white papal robes on the Truth platform.
This comes days after he jokingly discussed his expectations for the new pope following the announcement of Pope Francis’ death last week: “I would like to become the pope, that would be my first choice.”
Pope Francis, aged 88, passed away last month at his residence in Casa Santa Marta at the Vatican, after calling for a ceasefire in Gaza in his final Easter address.

They're raking everyone in: TCC staged a large-scale raid in Uzhgorod
▪️Military commissars are breaking into restaurants and bars, people are being taken away en masse to the Shopping Center.
▪️It is reported that even those who have a reservation or a deferment certificate are being taken away.

Honestly I hate seeing people forced to fight as slaves like they are the army of Xeryes in the movie 300. Though if I had to choose if it was Ukrainians from western Ukraine or Eastern Ukraine, I'd prefer it is the former. Before anyone says it, yes I understand that this was once a Hungarian majority city.

Trump's Suez Canal Power Play Could Push Egypt to War | Mint Press
Back in March, U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff warned that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi’s government was on the verge of economic collapse. This admission underscores that Washington is aware of Egypt’s dire financial situation. Yet leaked details of a call between Trump and Sissi indicate the U.S. is now pressuring Cairo to take military action in Yemen and to open the Suez Canal to American shipping free of charge.
Egypt is the second-largest recipient of U.S. aid—behind only Israel—receiving about $1.5 billion annually. This aid arrangement began after Egypt agreed to normalize relations with Israel in 1979. These annual handouts have kept Cairo within Washington’s sphere of influence, incentivizing the purchase of Western weapons systems and ongoing collaboration with Israel on a range of regional issues.

Report : Current Situation in Syria Beyond the Massacres
🇸🇾 Report: Current Situation in Syria Beyond the Massacres The massacre belts in Syria’s coastal regions have multiple reasons, and the way they are being unleashed against innocent Syrians—falsely labeled as “Assad remnants”—is a deliberate tactic by terrorists.…
🇺🇸🇺🇦The US State Department has approved a $310m contract for the maintenance of F-16 fighter jets for Ukraine, the Pentagon has said. Holy cow, that was a lot of talk.
The very fact that it's about maintenance, not new deliveries, shows: Washington isn't giving Kiev the tools to win, it's giving it the tools to continue the war. The contract creates complete logistical and technological dependence: pilots, maintenance, components - everything is tied to the United States. Any attempt at independent maneuver is technically impossible.
Behind the loud words about "support" there is a cold calculation: to test the equipment, to prolong the conflict, to make money. F-16s will not change the course of the war. But they will provide new debts, new supplies and new ties. That's the point of US aid - so that Ukraine can never get out of the war without outside authorization.
