This […]
In recent months, the Israeli Defense Forces have been much taken by a term that augurs poorly for peaceful accord in the Middle East. “Security zones” are being seized in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Syria. Land is, for claimed reasons of self-defence, being appropriated with brazen assuredness. It is […]
President Donald Trump is acting faster than other political leaders of his generation. In a dozen weeks, he has already overturned “American imperialism” in favor of his “exceptionalism.” This is still not the end of the problem, but it represents a considerable step forward for both the United States and […]
The “deconfliction mechanism” that they’re reportedly discussing would likely be insufficient for resolving their security dilemma and might thus only delay what could be an inevitable clash. Israel and Turkiye held talks in Azerbaijan last week on the creation of a so-called “deconfliction mechanism” for preventing an accidental conflict between […]
The key decision was when Barack Obama finally decided in December 2012 to arm al-Qaeda in Syria so as to bring down Syria’s Government. That culminated a U.S. policy since 1949, which was aimed against Russia and against Palestinians. It is an established fact that U.S. President Obama, Hillary Clinton, […]
Here is a video interview of U.S. Middle East scholar Joshua Landis describing Syria today, after the U.S. Government under Barack Obama succeeded in getting Syria’s al-Qaeda to ultimately win Syria, which effort continued under Donald Trump and then culminated under Joe Biden, so that this is the U.S. Government’s victory he’s […]
Israel knows which way the wind is blowing and will therefore do whatever is needed to ensure that its interests are safeguarded by key players in the global systemic transition. Reuters cited unnamed sources to report that Israel is lobbying the US to keep Russia’s bases in Syria as part of […]
The year 2025 marks a pivotal juncture in Syrian-Turkish relations, characterized by a significant shift from years of hostility to a “burgeoning partnership”. This transformation is primarily driven by the ousting of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024 and the subsequent rise of interim President, Ahmed Al-Sharaa. Assad has […]
Though the U.S.-and-allied propaganda machine is trying to portray the new rulers of Syria as NOT being al-Qaeda-following jihadists, that’s all based so far only on lies and on using the various and many sophisticated means of suppressing the truth — especially in the mainstream, but also in many of […]
Part I Ultimately, Syria’s future rests with its people; no external power can claim decisive influence over its direction. However, the nation has long been a battleground for international rivalries, with foreign powers entrenched behind different Syrian factions. Therefore, outside actors will have considerable influence during this post-Assad political transition, […]
