Anarchy in the Levant

Compatible Left Joins Imperialism in Celebrating Defeat of Syria
It may be no surprise that the “mainstream” corporate news media have turned into advertising agencies for US government policy. But it still surprises that what the CIA called a compatible left – those on the left it deemed compatible with maintaining imperialist rule – celebrates another US successful “regime change,” this time, Syria.

On Friday, 13th December 2024, The US and Turkiye announced that they had reached broad agreement on Syria, meaning that Syrians are now colonized by Washington and Ankara. Those that believed Washington’s lies that Bashar Al Assad’s ouster will bring freedom and prosperity will watch as Syria is transformed into a caricature. The West will… Continue reading

America’s Long War Against Syria
Over the years, the US and NATO have developed a template for regime change under the guise of defending liberal democratic values.

A Major War in the Middle East is Inevitable
Glenn Diesen The overthrow of Assad in Syria by Western-backed jihadists has set in place developments that will most likely result in a major war in the Middle East.

THE WAR IN LEBANON AND THE WAR IN SYRIA REPRESENT ONE IMPERIALIST FRONT.
No sooner had a ceasefire been declared in Lebanon ending one invasion, then another invasion broke out in Syria. It is now clear what the Zionist intention was behind their invasion of Lebanon.

Death of a nation: Black Flags, massacres, land grabs as vultures feed on the carcass of Syria
The standard modus operandi of the Hegemon is always Divide and Rule.

A Hydra of Betrayals: Syria’s Collapse and the Imperial Playbook
The swift collapse of Assad’s regime raises troubling questions. In 2015, under far grimmer odds, Syria’s Republican Guard et Tiger Forces held the line against larger US-Turkish-Israeli proxies. Latakia’s coast and critical supply routes were defended heroically, and Damascus, despite being struck almost daily, stood resolutely. Today, that same Damascus has fallen without a fight.… Continue reading

Iran and Russia are the two big losers in the ouster of Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday by the Sunni Islamist groups affiliated to al-Qaeda.

What happened to the Syrian Army?
🇺🇸🇸🇾I’m asked why the Syrian Arab Army collapsed so quickly… The Syria army was hollowed out from years of fighting and a crippled economy.
