There's no need for me to show you much of her filth; most of you are already aware of Syrian Girl stupidity. Can you imagine her accusing me of supporting the Israeli genocide, while at the same time, you can hear her saying that Shia should have killed more, more Sunnis in

British Zionists called security on a Syrian for holding the Free Syria flag because they said Syria is "too close" to their country so it is upsetting for them. You can't make this up.

لا نطالب بتحريك قوات الثوار تجاه القنيطرة، ولا ندفع باتجاه فتح حرب مع عدونا، ونراعي خصوصية الفترة وثقل العبء الملقى على عاتق القادة الجدد، ونسأل الله لهم العون، لكننا نطالب بموقف صحيح تجاه عدونا وعدوكم، والذي من المفترض أن لا يكون أقلّ من موقف الطاغية بشار (الذي قتلناه سُباباً

So a very rough breakdown of what happened with Syria. 1) Assad had been backing away from Iran for years, he talked to Israeli, he (maybe) leaked info on IRGC ops but also his regime had been deeply penetrated by Israeli intelligence. Tehran knew this and was mad about it.

التلفزيون الإيراني الرسمي: يجب أن نتحالف مع الولايات المتحدة ضد الثوار السوريين كما فعلنا في العراق من خلال دعم قوات قسد

وها هو الشرع يتلقى اول دروس السياسة وزيرة خارجية المانيا الملطخة يدها بدماع الفلسطنين تقول ان بلادها لن تقبل بحكم الاسلاميين ساوم ومثل ما خذرنا، رأوا ضعف واهانوه هذه نتيجة من يبدد من هيبة الثورة ويهرول للخصوم بخطاب ساذج فلا يقدروا قيمة عمل العلاقات يجب تصحيح المسار سريعا

I'd phrase this differently: if the Syrian transition collapsed into a renewed civil war, no mea culpas would be forthcoming from either France & Germany on how their policy facilitated that. The same EU diplomats would pin the blame squarely on Syrians.

Here’s #Assad regime 4th Division commander Brigadier General Jihad Ghoutani, at the helm of #Suwayda’s “National Guard.” More than half of the guard’s leadership are former #Assad regime officers — many linked to military intelligence & the #Iran-backed 4th Division.

Charles Lister Most of Assad’s/IRGC remnants and officers are now in SDF-held areas or among the armed militias loyal to Al-Hijri in Sweida

أحمد شاب ثائر من بلدة مسكنة بريف حلب، اعتقلته عصابات الأسد في فرع فلسطين، وأُبعد عن عائلته لعشر سنوات. اليوم بعد دخول أبطال الجيش العربي السوري إلى ريف حلب يلتم شمل أحمد بأهله. النصر ليس أرضاً فقط.. النصر عودة قلب إلى مكانه.

Doing this in a match with such high stakes in the last minutes of the game especially after what happened is insane Brahim Diaz….

There are a lot of stupid takes out there, but the idea that the US chose to support Assad collaborators (in the PYD/YPG, and explicit and declared allies in the PKK) instead of his enemies against ISIS as a way to undermine him I think wins the prize.

Indeed, US connection considering machinery, weapons, alliance vs ISIS at the time, and even salaries via Baghdad, was one of most under-covered subjects in the war. I tried to raise this with parliamentarians and wrote about it here, with little success. huffpost.com/entry/assads-s…
