2024-12-01 Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Jews Starting War In Syria. Honest.
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

There are those who agree. Scott Ritter, for instance, courtesy of 3dc. Say what you will about the man (and I have), he’s not afraid to put his ideas out there:


… backed by the US, to cut off the supply route from Iran to Lebanon for Hezbollah, and threaten to destabilize/topple the Assad government, forcing Russia to divert resources from Ukraine to salvage their position in Syria. Ukraine has provided advisors to the anti-Assad militants on drone warfare. Israel has apparently extended its explosive pager/radio scheme into Syria as well, disrupting Syrian tactical command and control at a critical moment in the fighting.

Syria had largely demobilized, and Hezbollah had mostly returned to Lebanon. Iranian-backed Iraqi militias are ill prepared to contain this assault.

It is highly likely Aleppo will fall to the pro-Turkish Islamist forces. There will most likely be a concerted effort, led by Russia and Iran, to salvage the situation in Syria.

This will take time.
This offensive may threaten the ceasefire in Lebanon.
The biggest loser in all of this is Turkey and its President, Recep Erdogan.

This offensive could not have been carried out without close cooperation and coordination with Israel and the US.

Erdogan’s critical words against Israel have been exposed as empty rhetoric.

Erdogan has once again betrayed Russia.
And his support for Palestine has beed exposed as fraudulent in every way.

Russia and Iran will stabilize Syria.
This will take months.

Syria and its allies will destroy the Islamist stronghold in Idlib.
This will take years.

The Iran-Hezbollah supply line will be restored/maintained.
Israel will be defeated.
And the US will withdraw from Syria, probably in mid-2025.
And Turkey will continue to betray everyone it does business with, because Erdogan stands only for Turkey.

#1 Orrrrr, idk perhaps when Nasrallah/Assad/Iran mortared Druze grade-school children playing futball in Majdel Shams, it was a wake-up call for Druze across national boundaries. And now, Nasrallah is dead, and things aren’t going so well for Assad and Iran.

Hippos will tolerate crocs for a while, up to a certain point. Then, the hippos unite and destroy the crocs. Likewise, maybe the Iranian-sponsored Party Of Peaceful Coexistence shouldn’t have massacred Druze schoolchildren.
