Syria's New Puppet Regime Are Western, Zionist Shills.

The Zionist, globalists running the western oligarchies, have been planning the overthrow of Syria, since 2001. They've been wishing for it for two decades now and now, they somehow pulled it off. Now that they have their wish, what will they do with it? Everything the west touches, turns to shit.

They once had striving societies and now they have serfdom, masquerading as "our democracy." The Europeans once had separate, independent, decentralized states, which spurned innovation. Today they're run by a centralized group of corrupt, criminal gangsters.

The US is run by Zionist fools and we're not just talking Jews here, since many non Jewish cuckolds are fine to be Zionists too. We wish to see their empire burnt to ashes. Therefore, let Syria be their latest trap. We'll see if they have what it takes, to continue funding forever wars.

Syriens Assad Ist Gefallen – Genau Wie Es Das Pentagon Vor 23 Jahren Geplant Hat.

Wenn Menschen im Westen sehen, wie „feindliche“ Regierungen stürzen oder Bürgerkriege ausbrechen, werden sie dazu verleitet, zu glauben, dass dies das geopolitische Äquivalent eines Naturereignisses sei. Nichts könnte ferner von der Wahrheit sein.

Die lang gehegten Bestrebungen der USA, der Türkei und Israels, die syrische Regierung zu stürzen, hauptsächlich durch ihre neu erfundenen Al-Qaida-Verbündeten, waren blitzschnell erfolgreich.

Translation:

When people in the West see “enemy” governments fall or civil wars break out, they are led to believe that this is the geopolitical equivalent of a natural event. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Long-held efforts by the United States, Turkey and Israel to overthrow the Syrian government, largely through their newly minted al-Qaeda allies, met with lightning success.

Damascus fell days after Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) forces under Abu Mohammad al-Jolani surprised observers by breaking out of their small northwestern enclave in Syria and taking the country's second-largest city, Aleppo.

It turned out that Bashar al-Assad's government and his army were paper tigers. Or at least they were, after their key allies – Russia, Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon – were forced onto the defensive. Preoccupied with problems closer to home, they could no longer provide Assad with the military support he needed.

Israel's rampage in Lebanon and its military intimidation of Iran - as well as NATO's increasing efforts to pin Russia down in Ukraine - have softened the main fronts in Syria that emerged several years ago between Assad's army, the Syrian al-Qaeda affiliate and the Kurdish ones armed forces in the northeast.

With support from NATO member Türkiye – and covert support from the CIA and MI6 – HTS and the so-called Syrian National Army (SNA) were able to advance south unhindered.

HTS is banned as a terrorist group by both the USA and Great Britain. The CIA has put a $10 million bounty on Jolani's head.

Strangely, amid the furor, the BBC and the rest of the Western media forgot to mention HTS's status as a banned organization - as they reflexively do every time the Palestinian resistance group Hamas is mentioned.

Remarkably, it is the very Western politicians and media now celebrating the "liberation" of Syria through HTS who insist that eradicating Hamas' "terrorists" in Gaza is so important that they support the bombing and starvation of the over two million Palestinian population of the enclave.

There are difficult questions that any reasonable observer should consider now.

How are we to believe that the same ideological groups that are head-beating, women-abusing, minority-oppressing terrorists in US-occupied Iraq are now “moderate,” “diversity-friendly rebels” in neighboring Syria?

What should opponents of Western complicity in Israel's "plausible" genocide in Gaza, as described by the International Court of Justice, make of the West helping to crush the "Axis of Resistance" that has been the only one offering material support to achieve this? Stop genocide?

Is HTS pursuing a nationalist agenda that is really about liberating Syrians from Western imperialism, or is Western imperialism - wielding both the stick of an Israeli attack dog and the carrot of rich Gulf lapdogs - once again in Syria at the wheel?

How much of what we see is the reality of the situation and how much is perception control?

Iran in the cross hairs.

There are plenty of clues to help us answer these questions if we look for them.

Wesley Clark, a former U.S. Army general, recalled a moment when he visited the Pentagon a few weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the Twin Towers.

He was shown a secret document that outlined how the US would "eliminate seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finally Iran."

None of these states had any obvious connection to the events of September 11th. The one that had such a connection - Saudi Arabia - was not on the list and has remained one of the US's most popular vassal states.

The order of objectives prioritized by Washington had to be changed—and the timeline was far off—but the realization of that 2001 plan is closer than ever.

The US and UK invasion of Iraq in 2003 under false pretenses led to the overthrow of dictator Saddam Hussein and the collapse of the Iraqi state. The country was plunged into a devastating religious war from which it is still trying to recover.

NATO's interference in Libya, again under false pretenses, led to the overthrow of dictator Muammar Gaddafi and the collapse of the Libyan state in 2011. Since then it has been a failed state ruled by warlords.

Sudan and Somalia - the latter of which was the target of a US-backed Ethiopian invasion in 2007 - are both hopeless cases, torn apart by all-consuming, horrific civil wars that the US has fomented rather than solved.

The destruction of these various states created space for new ultra-violent, intolerant Islamist groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (IS) group.

Turkey's overt support for rebels in Syria - plus further covert support from the CIA and MI6 - led to the overthrow of Syrian dictator Assad and the collapse of what remained of the Syrian state over the weekend. It is difficult to imagine a unified authority emerging there.

Meanwhile, the terms of surrender imposed on Beirut to end Israel's brutal bombardment of Lebanon appear unlikely to hold. The already fragile sectarian arrangements that barely hold the Lebanese state together will almost certainly fall apart in the coming months.

Iran, the last target on the Pentagon's list, is now fully in its crosshairs. Without allies in Syria and now largely cut off from its Hezbollah allies in Lebanon, Tehran is more vulnerable than ever.

The big picture.

None of this is random.

If the Western public were not so influenced by years of disinformation from their politicians and media, they could now begin to see a bigger picture that is gradually emerging.

A picture in which the fates of Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Iran hang in the balance together. A picture in which the Western powers, led by Washington, once again intervene in violation of international law to destroy the territorial integrity of each of them. A world in which the geostrategic interests of Israel and the West are paramount, not the freedom or well-being of the people of the region.

Dictators are bad. Killing civilians is bad. But these truisms, selectively prioritized by our feckless media class, have been weaponized to obscure the bigger picture.

When people in the West see “enemy” governments fall, as has just happened with Assad, or when civil wars break out in distant lands, they are led to believe that this is the geopolitical equivalent of a natural event.

The unquestioned premise is that the world is ultimately, jerkily and gradually, heading towards a liberal democratic order. For this reason, HTS, actively supported by the Western media, presents itself as pragmatic and moderate.

“Moderate” presumably in the sense that Saudi Arabia is considered “moderate” in Western reporting.

If the West intervenes, this narrative goes, it will only be to help the laggards on their way to a final utopia: something similar to the United States, but without Donald Trump, gun crime, opioid and mental health crises, and without adequate health care for almost half of working-age adults.

Such changes in power, people in the West are encouraged to believe, always come from below, signaling the illegitimacy of a dictator or perhaps discouraging the gradual evolution of political systems from backwardness to greater enlightenment, to establishing closer ties with major oil states like Iran.

The authors of these documents would soon hold key positions in the administration of George W. Bush, which took office in January 2001.

From their posts at the Pentagon and the State Department, they were only too willing to use 9/11 as an excuse to advance their pre-existing agenda, as Clark learned from the Pentagon memo.

Bloody nose.

Syria was seen by the neocons and Israel as a pivot, a supply line, between Iran and Hezbollah, Tehran's all-important military ally in Lebanon. Breaking that connection was a priority.

Above all, it was Hezbollah's well-fortified and hidden positions in southern Lebanon, as well as its large stockpile of missiles supplied by Iran, that kept Syria from losing its power.

Israel got an unexpected bloody nose when it tried to reoccupy southern Lebanon in 2006. It was forced to make a hasty retreat within a few weeks. Israel also had to abandon plans to expand the same war into Syria - a failure that infuriated Washington's neoconservatives at the time.

Hezbollah's rocket arsenal has also been a brake on Israel's ambitions to ethnically cleanse Palestinians - or worse - drive them off their land in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, as recent events have shown.

Ultimately, Israel realized that it could not complete its genocide in Gaza without neutralizing Hezbollah and Syria and containing Iran.

So, in practical terms, how involved was Washington in Assad's overthrow?

There are many clues that mark the way.

After Israel's failure in 2006, the US looked for a new way to achieve the same goal. Operation Timber Sycamore was created in secret shortly after the Arab Spring broke out in 2011.

This covert military operation, coupled with an increasingly draconian sanctions regime, was intended to throttle the Syrian economy.

The CIA, with the support of Britain's MI6, began working secretly to overthrow Assad. Saudi Arabia was also closely involved, presumably due to its close ties to extreme jihadist groups across the region, including al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, which would soon play a central role in the regime change operation.

Jake Sullivan, now Joe Biden's national security adviser, was clear about who would help. In an email in late 2012, when Timber Sycamore was being compiled, he wrote to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to avoid any confusion about Washington's allies: "AQ [al-Qaeda] is on our side in Syria."

An email previously sent to Clinton in the spring of 2012 outlined the evolving thinking at the State Department.

“US diplomats and the Pentagon can begin to strengthen the opposition. This will take time,” the email said. “The payoff will be significant.

“Iran would be strategically isolated and unable to assert its influence in the Middle East...Hezbollah in Lebanon would be cut off from its Iranian sponsors as Syria would no longer be a transit point for Iranian training, support and missiles.”

The main beneficiary was also clear: “America can and should help them [the Syrian rebels] – and thereby help Israel.”

Building the rebels.

By the summer of 2015, the CIA had trained and equipped nearly 10,000 fighters, at an annual cost of $100,000 per rebel, according to U.S. officials.

Riyadh supplied even more money and weapons and attracted Islamist fighters and mercenaries from the wider region. Jordan hosted the training bases. The CIA and the Saudis jointly provided the rebels with the information they needed for their operations in Syria.

Israel, which had long lobbied Washington for such a secret program against the Syrian government, also took a leading role. It supplied weapons and dropped thousands of bombs on Syrian infrastructure to pressure Assad.

It provided the rebels with its own intelligence and offered medical facilities to treat wounded fighters.

In 2012, Ehud Barak, Israel's defense minister at the time, explained Israel's thinking to CNN: "The overthrow of Assad would be a major blow to the radical axis, a major blow to Iran... and it would destroy Hezbollah in Lebanon as well as Hamas and the Islamic Republic." “Dramatically weaken jihad in Gaza.”

After the CIA operation finally came to light in 2016, Washington officially ended it.

The effectiveness of Operation Timber Sycamore had already been severely compromised by the Russian military's invasion of Syria at Assad's invitation at the end of 2015.

Eventually the fronts hardened and a stalemate arose.

“We love Israel.”

Now, years later, the fronts have suddenly dissolved. As Washington imagined 23 years ago, Assad is the last dictator in the Middle East who has not pleased Israel.

HTS seeks to reassure Washington that it poses no threat to Israel – or to the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

In interviews on Israeli television, rebel commanders praised Israeli airstrikes on Syria, citing them as one of the factors that enabled HTS's rapid progress.

Channel 12 interviewed an unnamed commander who also noted that Israel's ceasefire with Hezbollah was crucial to the timing of the HTS attack on Aleppo.

“We looked at the [ceasefire] agreement with Hezbollah and understood that now is the time to liberate our countries,” he said, adding: “We will not let Hezbollah fight in our areas and we “We will not allow the Iranians to gain a foothold there.”

In a separate interview with Israel's Kan TV, one fighter said: "We love Israel and have never been its enemies."

Both the US and the UK were surprised by the speed of the rebels' success and are rushing to lift the CIA's $10 million bounty on Jolani and remove HTS from their terrorist lists.

Israel wasted no time in overrunning—and effectively annexing—large swaths of Syria to expand the Golan territory it captured in 1967 in violation of international law. Compare the West's cautious response to this Israeli invasion of Syria with the West's outrage at Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

At the same time, Israel launched hundreds of airstrikes on Syria and bombed the country's military infrastructure to ensure that the next government, if one ever emerges, has no way to defend itself. Israel wants to make Syria as powerless and vulnerable as Palestine, where it is committing genocide.

According to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel is “changing the face of the Middle East.”

The giant chessboard.

Rather than viewing the world simplistically as a battle between good and evil - one in which the bad guys suddenly become good guys when the BBC says so - international affairs analysts have traditionally used a different framework.

They understand that world politics takes place on a global, geostrategic chessboard, where the great powers of the time try to checkmate or avoid checkmate their rivals.

As in chess, surprises happen when a player fails to anticipate or avoid his opponent's next move.

Syria is clearly not a great power. It's a farmer. But still an extremely useful one. Just as extremely useful as Ukraine. The battlefields may look separate, but of course they are on the same chessboard.

And the players – the US, Russia and China, and to a lesser extent Iran, Israel and Turkey – must use these pawns wisely to advance their strategic goals.

Ordinary people have room for maneuver. But the task of the great powers is to limit this freedom of action, to tame it and to recruit to advance their own interests and harm the interests of rivals.

Israel is the big winner of this round. Syria is emerging broken from its long-standing proxy civil war and Western sanctions. Either it will descend into further sectarian strife that will absorb all its energies - Israel can easily interfere to stoke such tensions - or its new government will allow itself to be vindicated by the West. A peace agreement with Israel would undoubtedly be a prerequisite for membership.

With Syria removed from the “Axis of Resistance,” Hezbollah in Lebanon was separated from Iran, isolating and weakening Israel’s two main surviving enemies in the region. And in the process, Israel has cleared the way to complete its genocide of the Palestinian people undisturbed.

Turkey's interests in Syria do not conflict with those of Israel or Washington. It wants to return the millions of refugees it currently hosts to Syria and eliminate any base for Kurdish groups in Syria that could ally with and help their own Kurdish resistance groups.

Avoid checkmate.

The losing side will now have to rethink their strategy.

Without its Syrian ally, Russia is now more exposed on the chessboard. If it cannot win over the new government in Damascus, it risks losing its strategically important Mediterranean naval port at Tartus on the Syrian coast.

Washington will aggressively pressure anyone who persuades Syria to force Russia out of the country.

It was the threatened loss of its other warm-water Black Sea naval port, Sebastapol in Crimea - after Washington's meddling to topple Ukraine's pro-Moscow government in 2014 - that led to Russia's annexation of the peninsula.

It was Washington's abandonment of the missile treaties and the threat that Ukraine would join NATO in order to bring the Western nuclear arsenal to Moscow's doorstep that led to the Russian invasion in 2022.

The events of the last few days in Syria underscore how the Western narrative that Russia's actions were completely "groundless" is more self-serving than explanatory.

NATO is working behind the scenes to move its pieces. And Russia is also doing this to avoid a checkmate.

There are no good guys in this “game”. There are only power games. And the US has far more pieces on the board: 750 military bases around the globe to forcefully enforce a policy of “full-spectrum dominance.”

Russia's new advanced missile systems, the hoped-for deterrence of its nuclear arsenal, its alliances of convenience with others threatened by the undeclared US empire - most notably China and Iran - are its remaining strengths.

Iran, now isolated from its allies in Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon, will have to consider what other resources it can bring into play. The voices demanding that Iran abandon its religious scruples and develop a nuclear weapon to neutralize Israel's existing arsenal will become much louder. After all, China is all too aware that the US is trying to defeat Russia and the United States Iran is ultimately aimed at weakening and isolating Iran. There can be no “comprehensive global dominance” until China is cornered – until Washington can declare “checkmate.”
