Topic: Syria

[patentlymn]

I heard that many of the fighters in Syria are Uighurs, Uzbeks, Tajiks, and Russians (Chechnya?). IMO most of what the west reports on Uighurs is false. The reason for the initial China hard clamp down on Uighurs is that they were killing govt officials and blowing stuff up.

Govts do not want to see  these crazies return.

Oh boo hoo!  If the Chi-Com's didn't treat them like slave labor and maybe respected people's religions maybe they'd be not getting killed and blown up, and for frack sake every surrogate of the Mahdi Death Cult does that and leftists cheer and hold protests and fund raisers and Russians, Chinese, North Koreans and Persians give them weapons!

The Chinese crackdown followed the terror acts, not the other way round. I cannot recall who paid for the terrorists. The countries paying for the crazies do not want them inside their own countries.

The Chinese do not allow minors to go to churches. I am sure they do not allow the more militant forms of Islam to be preached. I kinda recall they must display photos of Xi.  That part of China is swamped with tourists. That does not mean they cannot hide prisons.

Mr Bald tours Syria on Dec 19 2024. Not worth watching IMO. He meets up with someone from a couple years ago and another vlogger Timmy.  He goes inside a place where some narco drug was made under Assad for export. He walks inside of some govt buildings. Bald is brave or crazy.

Undercover Inside Syria's Narco Factories

🇸🇾 With the recent and sudden collapse of the Syrian regime I headed back to the country, this time without a visa to cross the border illegally and explore the country post-Assad along with my friend and guide Rami where we uncovered some crimes including a narco factory that exported dr*gs all over the Middle East. Join me on a revolutionary adventure!

In short, there is no Syria just lots of pieces grabbed by different factions. I linked to the Bloomberg map. The stated Israeli goal was not regime change but chaos.  I predict the MSM will not report on all the resulting bad stuff now that Assad is gone.

I think Turkey wants to grab more.

If you listen to the beginning Max says he will have material to open for Jimmy Dore. Max is kinda funny.

I plan to spend close to zero hours looking into Syria. Too many factions and complicated real estate. I understand that Israel and Turkey have each grabbed pieces for themselves. Erdogan has made references to taking more as these places used to be part of the Ottoman empire.

I wonder if the chaos will increase the flow of refugees out of Syria.

I olden times AQ wore the black hats as they flew planes into the WTC. ISIS also wore black hats as they set people on fire in cages and took sex slaves as allowed under the Koran. Then they switched to white hats and were rebranded as "rebels" as Assad wore the black hat. Some chief head chopper trims his beard, Puts on a suit and CNN swoons over him. The simple minded MSM is a joke.

What happens to the Kurds? How will Iraq and Iran act? What happens to the recently increased number of US troops? 3000 now? Why now? What happens if the merc crazies do not get paid?

Works for Russia...

And that so-called "ISIS flag" is not unique to ISIS, most the crazies (Taliban, AQ etc) also use it as it is a religious banner for that murderous cult no matter the tribe/org...

MFM has been, is and will continue to be a joke.

Merc's follow the money, no money, they'll go work for somebody else...

Hoping Trump gets us the eff out...

Would like to see Kurds supported (materially not directly with our people) as others (notably Iran) will join in their genocide...

A reasonable guess would be seeing Syria being parceled off by several...

As were others...as the result of the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the British Mandates -

Iraq (Mesopotamia)

Jordan (TransJordan)

French Mandates - Lebanon & Syria

Saudi Arabia (nee Sultanate of Nejd, nee Kingdom of Hejaz)

Kingdom of Yemen

British Protectorates of Kuwait & Qatar

Turkey and their creation via war of independence.

A lot changed after the collapse of the Ottoman's after WWI.

Russia got part of Armenia and Constantinople.

Italy got a small chunk of something...

Whole area from modern day Turkey to Persian Gulf states largely a construct though most cover some historical presence...though there never has been a Palestinian people, ever...  Or an Iraqi though there were various Mesopotamian cultures over the eons...  No Jordanians either, just generic "Arabs"...

Some ret Col said that the US is using a 'shadow' fleet of ships from various countries to supply tons of stuff to Israel with transponders turned off. He said Lloyds stations agents at ports to track which ships enter and leave to access risks as they have no other way.

Consequently, it was little surprise that early on after al-Assad fled to Moscow a month ago, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov confirmed that his country had been in direct contact with the radical Islamist group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), about the future of its energy projects, and of its key military bases across Syria as well. These comprise the naval base at Tartus – Russia’s only Mediterranean port, its Khmeimim air force base near Latakia, and its huge listening station nearby. Aside from these prized assets, there are three other reasons why Syria remains so crucial to Russia’s core geopolitical strategy in the Middle East and globally, as fully analysed in my latest book on the new global oil market order.

First, it is the biggest country on the western side of the Shia Crescent of Power that Russia had been meticulously developing for years as a counterpoint to the U.S.’s own sphere of influence centred then on Saudi Arabia (for hydrocarbons supplies) and Israel (for military and intelligence assets).

Second, it offers a long Mediterranean coastline from which Russia can send oil and gas products – or anything else it wanted – from itself or from its allies (notably Iran) for export into major oil and gas hubs in Turkey, Greece and Italy or into Africa.

And third, it highlighted to other countries in the Middle East and beyond Russia’s willingness and ability to act decisively on the side of the autocratic dynasties across the region.

Aside from denying Russia all these direct benefits (and doing the same for China indirectly) – which has enormous value in itself -- the U.S. and its allies also understand the key role that Syria was to play logistically for Russia’s plans to expedite Iran’s long-desired ‘Land Bridge’ and for China’s broader ambitions for its ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ (BRI).

The Land Bridge – running from Iran across Iraq, and into Syria -- was close to being operational by the time al-Assad was removed and would have provided and Russia to exponentially increase weapons delivery into southern Lebanon and the Golan Heights area of Syria. This would have dramatically increased the ability of Iran and its proxies to launch attacks on Israel as part of a broader rolling plan to further destabilise the Middle East. China would also have benefited from the same advantages inherent in a Syrian presence as Russia, particularly as the two countries include the dual-use of airports and seaports by both its civilians and its militaries as part of their standard cooperation agreements across the Middle East, most notably for Iran, Iraq and al-Assad’s Syria.

Additionally complementary to Russia’s previous plans for Syria was the recent announcement of the China-backed US$17 billion Strategic Development Road (SDR) which will create a major transport corridor from Basra in Iraq to southern Turkey (close to the Syrian border), and link in with China’s BRI. The planned linkages between the SDR and China’s BRI would allow Beijing to further build up its own ‘security’ presence across the region and also open the way for synergies with plans for the Land Bridge.

That said, shortly after Russia established contact with the HTS rebel group after al-Assad was removed last month, NATO member Turkey sent its own delegation to Damascus to discuss supplying Syria with electricity and rebuilding its oil and gas sector. Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said his country is studying how to use Syria’s oil and natural gas resources for reconstruction. Given the country’s huge geopolitical importance, it is not surprising that several formerly impeccable senior security and energy sources in Washington, London, and Brussels exclusively told OilPrice.com just after al-Assad’s removal that the sudden – and otherwise inexplicable – success of the Syrian rebels led by HTS was in no small part connected to a massive surge in U.S. and U.K. support for them in the run-up to the coup.

I am totally thrilled the ghoulish war-profiteers of Russia especially are blunted...and eff China too!  In this case most of the benefits of the Assad power ending in Syria dovetails with my own interests in ending Shiite terror...  The main issue for me now is preventing the bloodthirsty Turks from genociding the Kurds...

I heard one report that the whole Syria thing and others was at the behest of Israel to reduce support for Hamas and Hezbollah and Palestinians.
Ideally Israel wanted Iraq and Iran attacked for the same reason.  The Wesley Clark reported 7 countries regime changed in 5 years was to do the bidding of Israel.

Clark was and still is an egomaniacal jackass...  He is a legend only in his own mind...
