By Vince Hooper, published 6/12/2024

With his primary allies distracted and internal cohesion reportedly fraying, Assad faces perhaps his most precarious moment since the uprising began.

Nikki Haley Confirms US Will Now Attack Syria for “Any Attack” on Idlib - 13 Sep 2018

None of ANY OF THIS, is in line with our claimed Western values.
If pointing it out makes me the bad person, what does it say about us?

Our nations have been completely corrupted and we're an affront to the values we claim to support.

So Damascus has fallen and the Assad regime is no more. Assad is apparently in Moscow as a 'guest' of Putin. Its probably in Assad's interest to stay away from open windows.

In the meantime, Hezbullah's forces which are in Syria to defend the Assad regime are now trying to get back to Lebanon while avoiding both the Israeli's and the rebel, each of whom have legitimate reasons to deal out a little FAFO to Iran's henchmen.

And of course, Iran is also trying to get their people out. Interesting that they are doing it by land rather than air, showing that Israel now has complete air supremacy in the region.

And Russia is leaving with its tail between its legs. It is suggested that there are a large number of Russians in Syria now trapped by the rebels and abandoned by the rapid departure of the Russian navy. Perhaps the rebels will use the Russians as hostages so they can get their hands on Assad.

And finally Israel has taken the opportunity to take out the Syrian chemical warfare factories and to strengthen their grip on the Golan Heights. The significance of that is that it now provides them complete surveillance capabilities over southern Lebanon and Hazbullah's bases.

Things can hardly be going better for Israel. The Iranian strategy of surrounding Israel with its proxies is in tatters. Hamas all but wiped out. Hezbullah as well. Houthi's suitably cowed. Now Syria gone and Iran's ability to supply Hezbullah and Hamas. And Iran's air defences neutered.

Next step - Iran's nuclear facilities.

Not one word from any western leader

US ‘caught by surprise’ as Syria overthrows al-Assad

90% of the western news is propaganda...
And they point the finger at us over misinfo and disinfo.

They're the ones who are all MAD.

"Not one word from any western leader"

I've seen plenty from western leaders. It must be the rags you read. The most consequential comment was from Trump who said the US should stay out of the conflict. What a warmonger!

"US ‘caught by surprise’ as Syria overthrows al-Assad"

This is the Biden regime. Of course they were caught by surprise. They are surprised when Joe wakes in the morning with a dry nappy.

I think most were caught by surprise. Russia most of all. They barely got their navy out and it seems they've left a sizable number of troops and advisors behind. What's most surprising there is that they were in the middle of it so how they got caught flatfooted indicates how bad their intelligence is.
