The New Syria: Conquered by Zionist and Turkey-Backed Terrorists

It is a devastating thing that just happened in the Middle East. The fall of Syria to the Jihadis is something that no one should want.

I know some people think it is none of our business and we should not be worried about it; Trump included. But that is a dumb take for the observant. Israel is making strides in the Middle East and wants war with Iran, and that involves us. We are controlled by the Zionists, so what they do matters to us whether or not we would like it to. This is not just Muslims killing other Muslims. It is soon to be Muslims killing other Muslims and Americans.

On top of that, Syria was one of the last remaining secular states in the Middle East. For Christians, we have no excuse to not be devastated by this news. Christians now in both Syria and Lebanon are going to be at the mercy of radical Islamists and Zionists. We should support the body of Christ, no matter where they are. We can want and support our own people, and nationalism, while still wanting our Christian brothers across the sea to be safe as well. It is not an either-or choice.

The fall of Syria is important. It is also no coincidence.

This fall is all too convenient for Israel.

It was also far too fast to be organic. Assad knew something we don’t. There was practically no resistance. He gave up and allowed power to be transferred long before this incursion actually began.

This, coming from a country that fought a civil war for decades. A country that was once in a much worse position than they were right now!

You don’t give all that up out of nowhere for no reason. Assad allowed a transfer of power to happen. That is why the violence was minimal, and why the entire state collapsed within a week. Assad was conveniently gone in Russia by the end.

Which, I am not sure I can fault him for doing so. He was probably notified by Turkey, the United States, and Israel that Syria was about to become the next proxy war zone. Each of those countries is now moving in their own way into Syria, proving that was the case.

Assad knew, especially with the traditionally corrupt Arab generals surrounding him, that he would be quickly destroyed. Also, if he fought, a lot more Syrians would probably die. So he likely bailed out for that reason.

I do not necessarily agree with his decision, but I can see why one would make such a decision.

One thing that is clearly not the case is that this was not organic. Regardless of your thoughts on it, there’s no way Assad gives up like this without reasoning. Whatever your thoughts are on this event, just know that it was planned long beforehand.

I think one of the most shocking things from this descent is what Turkey did. They betrayed both Russia and Iran (therefore, BRICS). Maybe they are going to make a nice pivot into the Western sphere of influence after all.

This move effectively annihilates the Russian sphere of influence in the Middle East. But it now makes Turkey a major player.

You can always trust the Turks to betray you. It seems every country around the world wants to learn that fact personally. I do not know why any country ever trusts them.

Another big take away from this is obvious when you connect the recent Israel ceasefire with Lebanon.

That ceasefire with Lebanon went into effect the very same day when Syria began its descent.

Then, to add even more obvious evidence: Once Syria fell, Israel was ready to pounce immediately. They have since bombed significant portions of the old Syrian Arab Army’s equipment and have stormed into the country, taking significant amounts of land.

They were ready to pounce immediately in both instances.

Which means they knew and were ready for this.

This is my take: The Israelis were struggling with Lebanon in the south. So they encouraged Turkey to destabilize the Syrian state. The Israelis are now making significant progress to surround Lebanon on the undefended east border with Syria. This helps the Israelis maneuver directly around Hezbollah’s defenses in a future conflict with Lebanon. They also get more Syrian land for their Greater Israel plan.

There is also absolutely no justification for this move on Syria by Israel. Syria has not even been fighting Israel. Israel has already been occupying a large portion of Syria in the Golan Heights. Now, just because they are destabilized, Israel goes in and takes more land. You would have to be blind to not realize the Israeli ambitions are to expand their land and to wreck Lebanon.

They are opportunistic parasites on their neighbors. Even neighbors that were barely holding it together in the first place internally and could never pose an actual threat to Israel.

This result is most beneficial to the Israelis because it cuts off any supply route for the Axis of Resistance, especially Iran, to aid Lebanon if that war continues.

The Israelis, and their Zionist backers in the United States, are picking off each country one-by-one. You start with the Palestinians, move to the Syrians, take out Lebanon, and you are left alone with Iran. Then the last standing enemy is much easier to handle.

Meanwhile, Russia has also been handicapped by the war in Ukraine, so they could not dedicate as much resources worldwide to prevent this.

It seems almost like the United States is taking off each of the BRICS nations one-by-one. While keeping the main rival interventionist (Russia) bogged down in Ukraine. That way, they can go after Iran and others in the sphere of influence of Russia, before dealing with Russia directly.

But that is a topic for another day.

For now, we mourn Syria. Especially the Christians there. Say what you want about Assad, but at least he protected the Christian minority in the region by enforcing a secular state. Now, they are all facing martyrdom under a radical Islamist state.

In the meantime, retarded dispensationalist boomers are celebrating because Israel gets more land. Land at the blood sacrifice and cost of Christian lives.

I pray and hope that some section of Syria will remain that protects Christians, so they may flee there. We will have to wait and see.

There are two foreign sources with some takes I also want to share.

One from ‘Russians With Attitudes’; one from ‘Middle East Spectator’.

Starting with the Russians:

FIVE LESSONS FOR RUSSIA

Doom and gloom are somewhat appropriate, but it is more important to think about the future now. What does the fall of Syria tell us?

1. False Peace is Death. A bad faith ceasefire is a recipe for disaster and after Minsk and Astana should never be repeated. False peace is worse than war, because false peace means you still have to fight the war later, but at a disadvantage. No green busses or green corridors for the enemy, no deescalation zones, no freezing of any lines. The enemy has to be defeated completely: victory is a prerequisite for mercy. Until that is achieved, no ceasefires, only death under FABs.

2. Collapse is always sudden. The Assad regime resisted NATO-Israeli aggression for 13 years. And then it fell in a week. Mistakes, systemic errors and structural attrition accumulate until a critical mass is reached, and at that point the smallest impact will bring down the entire house of cards. Likewise, our current enemy in the main theater will resist stubbornly, until he will not be able to anymore, and then we will see Big Arrows. All our efforts should be focused on damaging the enemy’s war-waging capabilities to reach that critical point.

3. Infantry is King. A single full-sized, dependable Russian infantry brigade (or a Ukrainian one, for that matter) would have been able to defeat the Jihadi advance for good. They were completely overstretched and to a large degree their offensive was a bluff that only worked because the SAA didn’t even try to resist, they just ran. We had our own experience with a lack of infantry in the SMO — it led to the Kharkov oblast debacle in fall ’22. No matter what anyone says, no matter what technological advances there are, the infantry unit was and remains the central actor of history, upon which all else depends.

4. Empire is secondary to the Nation. There was a loud public debate among patriotic circles in Russia when the intervention in Syria began in 2015. Personally, I was opposed to the intervention because it seemed absurd to me to send Russian men to die in a foreign desert while Russian people are suffering under the yoke of Banderite occupation just across the border. We were told by Kremlin propagandists that “Palmyra is a symbol for all mankind” and the Donbass is just, eh, the Donbass. Whatever. Now, Jihadi dogs will get to loot and destroy all that archaeological treasure of all mankind, and we have to fight for the Donbass, anyway. Was it worth it? I have always been staunchly pro-Assad, but a single square mile of Russian land in Novorossiya means more to me than the entire Middle East. A nation should have its priorities in order.

5. You can’t change nature. Some peoples and countries are just unreliable. They will never have stable polities unless compelled by overwhelming force or foreign occupation. They will never build working institutions on their own. You can’t just offer them a comprehensive reform package and then shrug when they refuse to implement it. They will always be shitty client states if you work with them within a civilized framework. We know how to work around local particularities in other parts of the world, so we should let Middle East policy also be guided by this knowledge. They are not Warsaw Era-pact allies you can let do things on their own.

A good take by them. Slightly different from mine, but interesting to ponder on.

Next up, Middle East Spectator.

Middle East Spectator, a Telegram channel I thoroughly enjoy for its Iranian perspective of world events, said the following about Israel’s recent invasion:

— ??/??/??/?? Regarding the Israeli Ground Maneuver in Western Syria:  If I were Hezbollah, I’d be looking at this maneuver very closely right now. If Hezbollah’s leadership estimates that Israel will make an unexpected flanking maneuver to enter Lebanon through Syria, then it’s best to take preemptive action and take the battle to Syria, or at least take precautionary measures and deploy some squads to the mountainous border area – and they might already be doing that as we speak.  That is, assuming Israel’s goal for this maneuver in Syria actually is Lebanon. Because to be honest, I don’t see any other reason for them to be pushing this much Northward along the Lebanese border area. Lebanon has to be their goal somehow.  If invading Lebanon is not their goal, then there are only two other scenarios I can think of that Israel might be aiming for. One is cutting the Damascus-Beirut highway near Yafour, which makes little sense considering that Israel has no reason to be worried about Hezbollah shipments from rebel-controlled Syria to Lebanon for now.  The other scenario, which would be a major ‘WTF’ moment, is that Israel will actually try to capture Damascus for whatever reason. I highly doubt they will, but if they simply wanted to create a Security Zone in Syria or even an independent Druze state, there would be no need to move this far up North, they could simply push for Daraa & Suwayda.   So, as I stated, it is far more likely that Netanyahu wants to continue the war against Hezbollah in Lebanon by flanking from the East (Syria), possibly advancing into the Beqaa or even Beirut. If this is indeed their goal, then they’re planning for a very large war, which will likely draw in Iran directly.  In my opinion, Israel favors its chances currently. Assad just fell, Trump is about to take office, and Iran under Pezeshkian is not as assertive as it was several months ago. There may never be a better ‘opportunity’ for Israel to go ‘all-in’ regarding Lebanon (& maybe even Iran) than now.

— ??/??/?? So, basically 4 reasons that could explain this Israeli maneuver:  1. They want to flank Hezbollah and enter Lebanon from the East, which would mean the continuation of the war in Lebanon & a massive level of escalation not seen before.   2. They want to cut off ‘Highway 1’, the Damascus-Beirut Highway, in order to stop shipments of Iranian weapons to Hezbollah through Syria, which is unlikely considering that HTS / SNA will probably not allow these shipments regardless. But maybe Israel simply distrusts the rebels to that extent & want to make sure on their own.  3. They for some reason want to capture Damascus. At that point it would just be a plain ‘landgrab’ to expand Greater Israel, they have no legitimate reason to do this. Even the West would almost certainly condemn it.  4. They’re just trolling everyone by advancing along the Lebanese border & near Damascus, and in reality they only care about establishing a security zone or a Druze state in the South of Syria in Daraa & Suwayda. (Or, in real terms, they want to be positioned near Lebanon ‘JUST IN CASE’ they need to carry out point 1. or 2.)

I agree with the Middle East spectator’s take here. This was my assessment as well.

However, I am not as optimistic that it could be 3 or 4. I think it is nearly guaranteed to be 1.

Israel does not want a true ceasefire with Lebanon. They want Lebanon to be destroyed. This is their way to maneuver outside of the southern barrier zone where Hezbollah has kept them trapped.

The Lebanon resistance did not create defenses near those areas because Syria was allied to them. They’ve spent decades building the defenses in the south. All those would be useless now, given Israel’s rapid advance along their east.

It is a choke point for Lebanon. They are now in a position where they’ve been cut off from Iran and encircled.

At the very least, it will probably make them not committed to go further with their attacks.

But I think we all know that Israel wants more than a cessation of the attacks. They want Lebanon for themselves.

They are getting awfully close to acquiring it with this convenient fall of Syria.

Pray for the Syrian people. Pray for the Lebanese people. Especially pray earnestly for all the Christians in the area. Because worse violence is coming. All we can do is ask for God to protect His own from it.
