Give Assad eternal life

While the West is undergoing a humiliating defeat in Donbass and Ukraine and after a ceasefire chastised the Israeli military failure in Lebanon, amid Israeli war crimes, mass killing and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, HTS (Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, Organization for the Liberation of the Levant) starts attacking toward Aleppo, Syria, on November 27, 2024. Please note that the Hezbollah, which has just won in Lebanon, against Israel, is also an ally of the Syrian government, against HTS, ISIS and other Jihadists

History and politics are complicated issues. HTS, former al Nusra, is the latest brand for al Qaeda in Syria. Like many others, through the observation of the events in the Levant, I finally understood in 2014 how Russia is the righteous side. Hilarious, how the Western mainstream media propaganda for the nice Ukrainians is reminding that for the nice moderate head choppers. Mawkishness and lies

The democratic insurrection in 2011 was actually an Islamist uprising against the secular government of Syria and was gathering global Jihadists, from France to Xinjiang, China. The West was supporting them with weapons, intelligence and training. Another proxy war. With Russian support, Syria defeated the insurgents, but in 2020, Turkey and NATO prevented the government from finishing the job. The Jihadists are standing in Idlib pocket, under Western protection. Other defeated groups have become formal auxiliaries of Turkey, are garrisoned in the north

Since Osama bin Laden and Afghanistan in the 80s, the Jihadists are auxiliaries of the West, for the enforcement of Western hegemony. They are usually wrecking havoc in the countries opposed to the US and its stooges. Their relationship is alternately flaming and cooling. Cooling on September 11, 2001, or when the new Caliphate [a reference to the former Ottoman Caliphate, the new one is also called ISIS], a dissent from al Qaeda in 2013, started threatening Western interests. Cooling when France, one of the most hysterical support of the insurgents in Syria, underwent collateral damage on November 13, 2015, in Paris

But Jihadists remain strategic assets of the West in decline.
