Dear American friends, the US forces are in Syria to protect the interests of the tiny elites in Washington and not to fight terrorism as your officials claim.

They're in the Middle East to destabilize the region and sell weapons to the conflicting parties. Some even say they are there for the sake of Israel.

The people in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran are not your enemies. Your enemies are psychopaths like Lindsey Graham and his friends in the military-industrial complex who are pushing for war with Iran and starting WWIII with Russia.

The CIA waged one of its costliest covert operations to train and arm radical insurgents in Syria. The result was the emergence of ISIS and al-Nusra Front.

The weapons that the CIA sent to Syria were seized by the al-Qaeda offshoot

Syria-based investigative journalist @VanessaBeeley notes that the CIA Timber Sycamore Operation was signed off by former US president Barack Obama. The operation was the channel through which the US trained and armed the radical insurgents.

In February 2012, Jake Sullivan sent an email to her then-boss Hillary Clinton and told her "Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria."

Why are US troops in Syria?

Donald Trump in 2019: "I left troops to take the oil. I took the oil."

The CIA deliberately supported al-Qaeda affiliated groups in Syria to "isolate the Syrian regime," according to a document belonging to the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) classified as “secret,” dated 12th August 2012.

The second joint Military Operations Center was in Turkey (a NATO member). Even Ankara's allies say Turkey let fighters and arms over the border, some of whom went to join ISIS.

The goal was again to topple Assad.

Israel also supplied the radical insurgents near its border with cash as well as food, fuel and medical supplies for years.

Former Mossad Head says Israel gave medical treatment to al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria for humanitarian reasons.

The former U.S. special envoy to Syria James Jeffrey told PBS in 2021 that Al-Qaida’s Syrian offshoot is an “asset” to U.S. strategy in Syria.

Members of an American-backed rebel group in Syria beheaded a young child in a grisly execution video.

The footage surfaced in mid-July 2016 of members of Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki and a captured child in Aleppo.

This recent photo summarizes the "Syrian Revolution"

American officers sitting in the middle surrounded by Syrian mercenaries who call themselves "rebels" fighting against the "Assad dictatorship".

These mercenaries were hired by the CIA and the Pentagon in al-Tanf border crossing to block Syria's main trade route with Jordan and Iraq, establish a training camp for the ISIS hoards, and then send them on suicide missions against the Syrian Army and allied forces in the deserts.

This is the true face of the American empire.

The green area in the south is the al-Tanf border crossing where the US occupation forces illegally occupy it and train their mercenaries there.

A former CIA officer called my work on Ukraine "propaganda"!

I'm not going to engage in personal discussion because only small minds discuss people. Instead, I'm going to explain why Ukraine can't win the war against Russia, especially after the onslaught against Gaza.

A fight over funding for foreign wars is pitting President Biden's commitment to sending aid to both Ukraine and Israel against an increasingly anti-war Republican cohort that wishes to support just Israel.
newsweek.com/why-its-us-int…

Supporters of Ukraine might need to make the inverse argument: Ukraine is not reconquering substantial territory, and aid is needed indefinitely to forestall a devastating defeat.

I'm posting this two-segment video to set the record straight; there is credible information that indicates Israel, with the backing of the United States, intends to assassinate Syria's President Bashar al-Assad if Hezbollah opens a wide front from southern Lebanon.

To put this in proper context; since 2011, the U.S. waged a secret covert operation in Syria to topple Assad and install a friendly government in Israel.

To achieve this goal, the U.S. and its regional allies spent tens of billions in arming and training multinational takfiri terrorist groups. According to the New York Times, the secret program (Timber Sycamore) was one of the most expensive CIA covert operations in the history of the agency.

However, Syria emerged victorious and the terror groups were mostly destroyed with the help of Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah.

While President Trump ended the covert operation in 2017, the Pentagon sent troops to the Eastern shore of the Euphrates to occupy the oil and gas fields and hence, disallow the Syrian government from using the revenues of the oil to reconstruct the war-torn country.

The pro-Syria alliance believes the CIA's attempt to remove Assad was urged by Israel because a pro-Israeli government in Damascus means the isolation of Hezbollah and eventually the Palestinian militant groups fighting against Israel.

With the escalation of the conflict in Palestine and the carpet bombing of Gaza, it is believed that Hezbollah has mobilized its elite forces and kept 1/3 of the Israeli army busy on the northern front by firing ATGMs and rockets at the Israeli forces.

But if Israel wages a full-scale invasion of Gaza, it is believed that Hezbollah will intervene and wage a ground offensive on the settlements in northern Israel.

If Hezbollah's offensive materializes, my information indicates that Israel will bomb Damascus and try to kill Assad.

Will Israel dare to do that? I believe with the current mentality governing Tel Aviv, everything is possible.

NOTE: the above text is an analysis based on my personal knowledge and different sources. It is not wishful thinking or scaremongering. It is simply a political analysis based on the available information to me.

The signals coming from Iran, Syria and Lebanon indicate that, if Israel tries to occupy Gaza, there is a decision to open all fronts against Israel which practically means regional war and direct American intervention.

Bloody days are ahead in West Asia❗️

The goal is the displacement of all Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt.

Israel conducted hundreds of air strikes against Syria in the past decade, including on Damascus and Aleppo International Airports. Israeli officials confessed that they have supported al-Qaeda terrorists against the Syrian Army. Where was your outrage, back then?

Israel has been regularly supplying "Syrian rebels", aka Islamist insurgents, including the al-Nusra Front near its border with cash as well as food, fuel and medical supplies for years.

Assad on Syria's diplomatic negotiations with the United States. 1/

"We had no hope, even for a single moment that the Americans would change. Because the Americans ask and demand, take and take and give nothing."

Assad on the possibility of striking a peace deal with Israel. 2/

"If there is no Israeli willingness to return the land, there is no need to waste time."

Is the Iranian and Russian support the secret behind Syria's steadfastness? 3/

Assad: Their support had an important impact on the steadfastness of Syria. But friends cannot replace us in war, in battle, and in steadfastness."
