    Fellow Westoids, I beg of you, stop 👏 believing 👏 your 👏 media 👏

    CNN got so confused it decided to stage the release of a “political prisoner” of Assad. You can imagine how embarrassed CNN felt when the innocent man turned out to be a former intelligence officer guilty of extortion and harassment. That man is now on the loose in “liberated” Syria. The prison he was freed from was opened two days earlier. Syrian reporters watched as Turkish search teams went through the cells one by one. Somehow they missed this man who was allegedly left without food or water for four days.

    The fakery was so obvious, it was even called out by former prisoners of Assad, but if you are still in doubt, just know that HTS was mocking CNN on Telegram: “If it wasn’t a play to achieve a scoop for CNN and laugh at the West’s stupidity, it is more likely that one of the detainees has no place to go and prefers to stay in prison and sleep there.”

    Al-Golani also said: “We were able to end the Iranian presence in Syria, but we are not enemies of the Iranian people.” I guess it’s a matter of time until al-Golani U-turns and realises he has no choice but to ally with Iran to protect Syria.

    surely al-golani’s knows that the united states will do the same to him that was done to al-assad, so i wonder what they gave him to be willing to throw away his future like that.

      Given that there are a whole bunch of different groups fighting each other in Syria, it’s only a matter of time till some start attacking Israel. As we’ve seen in Libya and Afghanistan, having extremist groups overrun a country ends up backfiring in a spectacular fashion.

        The goal of Israel is to keep them fighting each other while Israel takes the pie. A tale as old as time.

        Currently they are doing HTS vs YPG in the north while Israel takes the southwest of Syria for free

          That’s absolutely their goal, I’m just saying that I don’t think it’s going to be attainable and it may lead to fall of Israel in the long run.

    This is rather odd, given we’re told that HTS and ISIS are enemies, and the US has been bombing ISIS to protect Syrians.

    US has been bombing southern Syria, which is FSA controlled that has allied with Kurds to fight ISIS, but is well separated from Turkey/US backed factions. ISIS is simply HTS, that came from Iraq/Turkish border with Turkish support. The US is bombing anti-Turkish/ISIS factions. It is easy to not fact check this lie. ISIS is a US funded ally, and only attack US enemies. It is simply deflection for US to say they are bombing ISIS, as FSA is simply less of a friend to Israel as HTS/ISIS is.

      I think it’s reasonable to say that the current conflict is of a global nature. There is a clear delineation between 13% of humanity living in G7 nations and the rest of the world. The war is largely contained in the economic sphere, however we are increasingly seeing it spill over into kinetic realm as well as seen with Ukraine, Palestine, and now Syria. We are living in very dangerous times because the west is increasingly acting like a rabid cornered dog.
