Moved on from military targets and started destroying archives and science research buildings

Holy s***

oh wow I thought this would happen gradually, you know, like over a few years

I'm sure al-qaeda will shoot back at any moment

they're prepping for another invasion of lebanon

from what i can tell this seems like a purposeful misframing of the documents, what they say is that israel repeatedly warned assad against supporting Hamas & Iran and said they would airstrike Syria even for implicit support. he then continued to support them in spite of warnings

We always knew something like that was taking place under the table; but now seeing it exposed with leaks of official papers is wild.

That's the problem with the Russia-China-Iran axis. They are not united and do not support each other in the same way NATO allies do which is why they remain weak.

this is because no such "axis" exists except in the minds of social media grifters. the russian government did not seek to damage their ties with israel even if they also desired a functioning syrian state (but whoops, can't have both because one side are bloodthirsty caucasian thugs). at the end of the day it was inter-imperialist competition which was the determining factor.

And now Russia lost its influence and military bases in Syria (the only one that existed in the middle east) thanks to US-Israel.

Shooting itself in the foot is something Russia loves doing.

Never understood why Russia always wants to have a strong relation with Israel when time and time again it proves it always works in favor of US interests and works agaisnt Russia.

the government just does what is profitable, which is continued commerce with the zionists. there's no grand plan beyond that, as now all the "multipolarity" hustlers are figuring out.

the capitalist state is not a rational actor, it is compelled by the demands of the global market. this is why people need to read and understand Lenin's theory of imperialism.

The "Capitalist state" isnt even allowed to freely use the "global market" with all these sanctions and US proxy wars with Ukraine

Which is why I also don't understand why Iran doesn't just build their nukes before its too late and stop waiting for NATO to finally develop a liking to it and sign a deal.

Following the same steps as Gaddafi rn.

HTS not putting out even a media statement about Israel invasion is insane

correct, russia is underdeveloped by american and EU capitalists and launched their invasion as an attempt to compete with them on their own terms. (inter-imperialist war)

there's no escape from this except socialism and delinking from the imperialist system as much as possible. the russian bourgeoisie can't ever be something it isn't, its doomed to follow a certain logic.

I'm sure its coming, any day now

Ok the tankies were right. Syria is f***ed.

damn who called it

just absolutely selling the country for scraps to the israelis. god bless these amazing syrian patriots.

activate air defenses? attack invading israelis? nah, al-qaeda have real military priorities, like shooting alawites in the streets and helping turkish tanks roll into ayn al-arab to slaughter kurds.

Not gonna link his show but Jon Stewart cheered on what happened and closed by saying: “Every middle eastern despot leader: you’re next.”

Was really not expecting him of all people to go full mask off and be that blatant with the propaganda

It was only a matter of time with Jon
