Rejoicing that Al-Assad is "at last" replaced with the literal offsprings of Al-Qaeda... If that doesn't make you cynical, not sure what will.

The Syrian people will probably need a lot more courage and patience still.

The barbaric state has fallen. At last.

I pay tribute to the Syrian people, to their courage, to their patience. In this moment of uncertainty, I send them my wishes for peace, freedom, and unity.

France will remain committed to the security of all in the Middle East.

Almost a verbatim recall of Sarkozy's Libya statement.

By the way, that's not even an exaggeration: Al Jolani was the emir of the al-Nusra Front, the former Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda and the US had a $10 million bounty on his head as a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist". There's a whole rebranding propaganda campaign to explain how since he's now on our side he's not a "radical jihadist" anymore but a "moderate revolutionary". The cynicism is absolutely off the charts. It's so crude it's almost funny.

The 'barbaric state' has fallen to barbarians!

Shariah law and public stoning coming soon!

Same playbook with Bin Laden

FBI scrubbed database of ref to al-Jawlani but missed one link. "Rehabilitation" of al-J underway. CNN interview was part of this process

I still can't connect my memories before Gaza, of Al Qaeda as a terrorist in attacks in the USA, to Al Qaeda itself being an ally of Israel and the USA, of France. The only thing that comes to mind is the Conspiracy Theory movie.

https://x.com/husbbg/status/1865775241269535082

Al Qaeda was a tool /weapon fashioned/ created for proxy actions.

Dear Americans,

 

Your government is lying to you.

 

This is the president of Syria Bashar Al Assad alongside his wife and children. He is not a murderer, he is not a criminal, and he is not a tyrant.

Terrorists are being backed by YOUR government to overthrow this man due to his support for the Palestinian cause.

If he falls, Syria will be turned into a rogue terrorist state. Christianity will seize to exist in Syria. It’s time to wake up.

Our jihadists now wear blazer

- Toppling the Syrian government in partnership with jihadists will be a humanitarian disaster that will serve geopolitical objectives. The media's job is now to rebrand jihadists on behalf of Washington

https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/1865851444210868331

YOU CANT MAKE THIS UP: CNN asks Al Jolani if he did “such bad things like killing civilians and displacing” during his Al Qaeda/ISIS time.

Jolani says: “Kinda, but I was young and the emotions were high! But also I learned for it.”

Hahahaha, that is actually hilarious.

If confirmed, this suggests Israel aims to destabilise the new government on Syria. This doesn't bode well for the prospect of peace in the Middle East.

https://x.com/sentdefender/status/1865779320020402541

The Israeli Air Force has launched additional Strikes on the Syrian Capital of Damascus, following last night’s Collapse of the Assad Regime; with Mezzeh Air Base being targeted once again, as well as the Syrian Intelligence Headquarters where a Massive Fire is now burning.

https://x.com/EV_Trapper/status/1865781100674764995

This really goes counter to Netanyahu saying that he wants peace with the new people in Syria.

 

Targeting the intelligence headquarters is not a good thing, because it now prevents anybody from getting the true back story on what the SAA knew.

'Al Qaeda is on our side': in Syria dirty war, US empowered a sworn enemy

In a decade-long, multi-billion dollar campaign to overthrow Syria's government, US support for the insurgency helped create an Al Qaeda safe haven.

So now the Americans will bribe the new Al Queda leadership to submit to the whims of CIA and Mossad. Syrians will be mercilessly oppressed while the US and Israel plunder their resources. Israel

will take some land. Those in power in the US will use Syria, like Ukraine, to launder money from the US treasury. Sad.

Isn't there a proposed pipeline going through Syria?

Yes, hello, US state department. I'd like to collect on this bounty. He is in the presidential palace of Syria.

(Also, you put him there)

Why the Arabs Don’t Want Us in Syria

They don’t hate ‘our freedoms.’ They hate that we’ve betrayed our ideals in their own countries—for oil.

Whether you feel elation, despair or indifference at unfolding events, this remains true:

 

All the states that provided billions in weapons and training to oust the Syrian government, while simultaneously providing billions in weapons, sending their warships, and supplying oil to protect and enable "Israel" as it commits genocide in Gaza, did so solely for the sake of "Israel." Whatever happens next, what is good for "Israel" and Zionism, and not the rights, self-determination and interests of the Syrian people, will remain these states' sole guiding principle.

 the sicko slaughtering 10s of 1000s of children, starving 2 million, annihilating a people. He is happy. That's enough to give pause & think: if a sicko with negative infinity moral compass thinks this is a great thing, as he rolls in his tanks, what am I missing

Those of us who go back to the 1960s see the unfolding of a grand Israeli plan to balkanize the Near East into warring ethnic/sectarian enclaves with Israel & the US playing them off against one another. Israel emerges the great sectarian state among many weak ones.

Map of Shell’s assets in Syria which were forfeited in 2011 because of EU sanctions imposed after Assad’s violent suppression of Arab Spring protests.

Libya’s oil was divvied up to Western companies after NATO toppled Gaddafi. Replay is unfortunately likely.

Shell had had a significant interest in Syria since 1985 when it led a consortium which entered into a joint venture with the state-owned oil company to create the Al Furat Petroleum Company, the country’s largest oil producer.

In April 2006, Shell’s then general manager, Campbell Keir, told the US embassy in Damascus he “readily admits that Shell has done very well on its investment in Syria and would very much like to renegotiate an extension.”

The US cable added: “In the meantime, Shell is making itself useful to the SARG [Syrian government]”.

Theft. Theft and more theft. No law, no order, no boundaries, no sovereignty except for Western countries. ME is an open door. Open shop. take all you want. Disgusting.

Western backed terrorists fired on Assad’s troops during the so called ‘Arab spring’.

US illegally occupies 1/3 of Syria, steals its wheat & 80% of its oil whilst  training terrorist mercenaries.

guess all those petroleum leases will soon be restored to the UK and USA companies....... now we understand whats behind Syrias "liberation" - liberation so the OLigarchs can continue their plunder of the world

The media is yet again celebrating jihadists for weaking our adversaries. We have been here before
