Thanks for the link. I agree Brian's analysis on the situation is more grounded. I will include a link to his analysis in the original post. Thanks Denis!

I'm not too much into this umpti-dimensional chess stuff. Russia's primary interest in Syria is its naval base there, and now they are sounding just like Americans when South Vietnam fell. They're basically saying Assad was too corrupt and arrogant to do what they wanted so they threw up their hands.

There's probably some truth there.

I watched this interview early this morning. I also read a lot of comments about Assad and they were not about corruption, but sincerely felt good wishes for what appears to be an honorable man. I don’t think CIA trolls would have posted those as distractions since the CIA is incapable of feeling compassion for any human being. So…yes, the trap makes a lot of sense. Peace by Christmas?🙏

Listened to it yesterday and I'm glad you sort of conquer with Alex's conclusions. Glad to see that "our" peolpe have a rather clear picture as to "who" the enemy really is. I think also that Alex's reflection on the planning of a "nuclear" psyop in London is also relevant (will send you the text) especially after the "Oreichnic" thing near Diepro and the intention of the "satanic crowd" of escating to nuclear.

Or, Russia giving up Syria was the condition for Russia to keep property in Ukraine when Trump ends the war in Ukraine. Just a thought.

Thanks for the great Alex Krainer interview recommendation. Very interesting idea that Syria's extraordinary collapse may have been planned to create a Middle East quagmire to suck in Western Powers. While I liked his thought processes, I did disagree with one thing. I am not sure I buy his argument that Russia giving up space on their near endless western plains is a valid analogy with their retreating from Syria. I think that is particularly true given the centuries old Russian desire for naval bases in the Mediterranean. But that is a minor point.

His overall theme of things are not what they seem is spot on. Sadly that's probably true about a lot of things going on right now. Thanks again.

The quote "Oh what a tangled web we weave when at first we start to deceive" is not by Shakespeare but by Walter Scott in his poem "Marmion." It refers to the effects of lying and how as one lie leads to more the lies multiply, and liar becomes trapped in the dishonesty. It probably applies to 99% of our leaders, politicians, and spooks et al, and always has.

Thus the power of the Executive Branch's 10+ year pardons currently being handed out.

Pretty big rug they must have to sweep under all the corruption.

I watched it last night, quite intriguing. Whenever Alex has something to say it's worth listening, and like he said we'll have to wait and see.

We ALL should know who are ENEMIES are at this point. Those who do not have any discernment or enough intelligence to allow them to critically think outside the damn boxes we have been put into!

I wish Alex was right... but I am afraid this is closer to the reality:

They are all “traitors”. They serve the global cabal, they follow orders.

So Putin deserted Assad, he will be rewarded with an auspicious “Art of the deal” arrangement. Iran, will desert Syria, & it will be partitioned, Kurds here, FSA over there, annex of ‘sterility corridor’ for Greater Israel.

Gaza will be a reconstruction zone for the BenGurion Canal project, to sideline Suez & avoid unnecessary bloodshed in Egypt.

Iran now has no supply line to Hezbollah, (5D Check)

Suggest y’all read Slavlands Chronicles on Substack (Rurik Skywalker) until you do your just watching “shadows on the wall” & thinking you’re cutting edge geopolitics pundits.

I’m still backing a partition of Ukraine after similar Globohomo perfidy

And by the way, Erdogan IS a traitor. He is obsessed with eliminating the Kurds. There is a proof: he is succking up to Putin, by saying that they have both politically survived for the longest times. ERDOGAN IS A TRAITOR!

Alex Krainer might be right sometimes, but here, I think he is missing the reality (+ he is turning in wealthy circles, so I wouldn't trust him too much - he might be an asset, too much money in play here). In my opinion, Alex Christoforou's estimate is much more accurate: https://rumble.com/v5xomzb-assad-in-russia.-biden-bombs-syria.-erdogan-praises-putin.-elensky-trashes-.html From what I can see as probable scenario: Russia, not even Assad had no idea this could happen (that's why Russians are not very vocal about this - but they gave us enough information to understand that something went wrond and they tried to save what could be saved; the same goes with Iran, the officials are also trying to be in good terms with the "rebels" which we know at least 30 % came from abroad). Assad made some bad decisions and his generals were groomed by the CIA. Besides, Assad's wife who he loves very much, has leukemia. I think after seeing how his generals didn't want to fight and cause bloodshed, and by having an impression that he really became unpopular, Assad decided to resign. That is in line with what Assad did before - he is not a dictator, he tried always to do the best for his nation. If the nation does not want to fight and generals to obey orders, what can a president do? I got the impression that Assad resigned because he was disillusioned. Maybe Israeli propaganda played a significant role (it was obviously a factor, as I could grasp from Vanessa Beeley's reports). I am waiting for Vanessa Beeley to get to some safe place and report on what has happened. She is the most credible source I have found. (With all due respect, but in comparisson to Vanessa, Alex Krainer is only a couch expert, making some theories from far away. I admit, I don't trust rich people, they don't share our values.)

Indeed it is very illogical for Syria/Russia/Iran to just "run away" like it appears to have happened. I also thing that it was a joint operation with a long timeline.

What’s the long and short of it?

I don’t have time to watch every “Putin is playin’ THREEyyy-DEEEyyyy chess” bullshit video.

I watch maximum 1 Duran/Mercouris/Macgregor video per week (and then calibrate it to their failed predictions from the week before 😂), and that’s enough to remind me of the bullshit that these ‘experts’ are spreading. 😅

Then turn it all off. The world of these current murderous, miserable geopolitics is very unpredictable and fluid right now - minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day. People can only react as it unfolds.

Summary

Russia’s rapid success in Syria raises suspicions of a strategic trap aimed at drawing the West into a prolonged conflict, reminiscent of the Soviet experience in Afghanistan.

Highlights🔥 Syria’s sudden collapse contradicts past resistance, prompting skepticism.🧨 The Syrian military’s rapid retreat suggests a coordinated strategy.🤔 Historical parallels draw comparisons to the Soviet Union’s Afghanistan quagmire.🐍 Russia and Iran might be luring Western powers into a costly conflict.💣 The situation reflects broader geopolitical tensions involving the US, Turkey, and regional actors.📈 Energy prices may surge as conflict escalates, affecting global markets.🔍 Trump’s ambiguous statements hint at deeper political maneuvering regarding US involvement.Key Insights⚔️ Strategic Trap: The rapid fall of Syria could be a calculated move by Russia and Iran to weaken Western influence, drawing them into a conflict that drains resources. This tactic mirrors historical precedents, suggesting a long-term strategy.🌍 Geopolitical Shifts: The evolving alliances in the Middle East indicate a shift in power dynamics, with Russia and Iran strengthening ties while undermining traditional US hegemony. This realignment could reshape regional stability.📉 Military Resources: The withdrawal of Syrian forces raises questions about their morale and readiness, indicating a potential lack of commitment that may serve a broader strategy to bait adversaries into overextending themselves.🔮 Economic Ramifications: Heightened conflict in Syria may lead to increased oil and energy prices, impacting global economies and potentially leading to inflationary pressures in Western nations.📊 Market Reactions: Observations of stock and commodity markets reveal that investors may be hedging against currency devaluation, indicating a potential flight to tangible assets like gold and silver amid geopolitical uncertainty.🚨 False Flag Risks: The possibility of orchestrated events to manipulate public perception and justify military actions raises concerns about transparency and the motives behind Western interventions.👥 Trump’s Positioning: Trump’s mixed signals may reflect an effort to navigate the complex political landscape, signaling to both his base and the establishment his stance on foreign intervention while maintaining a delicate balance.

Hope this sums it up my friend.

100% copium and hopium.

Let me sum it up:

*) with Assad gone, Russia and Iran lose an important ally

*) Turkey, Israel (US allies) and the US take big portions of Syria (effectively NATO and the US Empire/Israel have expanded into Syria)

*) a pipeline from the Saudi border to Turkey will be built (Russia will probably support some “rebel” groups that will try to blow it up)

*) Qatari gas will flow to Europe

*) Iran will be next (similar situation: outdated army, unhappy population, too little Russian military-economical aid)

*) Iranian (and perhaps even Turkmen?) gas will eventually also be supplied to Europe, but this will take some years

*) the ONLY remaining export market for Russian gas will be China, and (demand and supply) China will be able to dictate prices

*) Russia will be economically more and more isolated.

*) Russia can now try to (militarily and economically) prop up an unpopular regime in Teheran, but Iran is a big country (much bigger than Syria) and this will cost Russia a small fortune.

*) the West only needs chaos and instability in Syria and Iran (with a LITTLE area of stability where the pipelines are located) to put pressure on Russia

*) Russia on the other hand needs the ENTIRE country of Iran to be stable, happy, and economically prosperous, otherwise it will be an easy target for US/Israeli/NATO military strikes and a (color) revolution as happened in Syria

*) Russia is WAY behind the curve, they should have supplied both Syria and Iran with modern military equipment DECADES ago! You think you can send a few SU35’s and S400’s to Iran? Look at NATO Patriots and F16’s in Ukraine: no training + no expertise = useless in battle.

*) if Russia decides to ‘save’ Iran, then Iran will be for Russia what Ukraine is for NATO: a bottomless pit for military equipment and economic aid packages

*) if Russia decides to NOT save Iran, then the West will destabilize it and seize their oil and gas supplies (and China won’t lift a finger, as long as they get their oil and gas)

*) Trump won’t give a shit: he’s just another Israeli & Deep State puppet (you want another one of his ‘great’ vaccines?)

I don’t need NoteGPT for that, I prefer to do my own thinking. 😉

IMHO the ONLY way out for Russia is if they PREEMPTIVELY blow up the Western financial system by backing the Russian Rouble with gold/commodities. That MIGHT destroy the US Dollar enough to the point that the US will not be able to fund/support all their puppet regimes and color revolutions. But this would also mean that Russia would need to write off those $300 billion in ForEx reserves, would enter a severe economical crisis, and it would also mean a VERY unhappy oligarch class in Russia. Furthermore, big and fake “ally” (🙄) China doesn’t want this either, because it will destroy their export-driven economy. Additionally: how will China pay for Russian commodities and gas and oil when their economy is destroyed?

Translation: Russia will blink and won’t do this.

Slice by slice (salami tactic) and country by country, NATO is moving closer to Russia, and instead of being PROACTIVE and setting the agenda, Russia is REACTIVE to every NATO move…waiting until it’s too late as they did with Ukraine.

I love Russia and the Russian people, but “Avos” is a poor geopolitical strategy…

Intriguing!! Thank you for the link.

Hi there Featherjourney Glad to see we track the same brain trusts although I have moved away from many at BM. All too flowery for me. Keeping it simple gets the message across.

I thought this a very thought provoking message and I can see how this is feasible. All about timing. Reminded me to go back and rewatch that movie “wag the dog”. Anyone interested in the global political scene should watch it. Then things make more sense.
