🇺🇸🇺🇦 Today, I was shocked by Senator Jeanne Shaheen calling on CNN to use the Ukrainian army as a permanent proxy force for future US wars.

Ukrainians have been cannon fodder in one unwinnable war. Now, the warmongers want to enlist them for the next one? 🧵

1/6
Shaheen admitted:

“Ukraine right now has the biggest army in Europe... We want that army on the allies side fighting with Europe and the United States in any future conflict.”

Shaheen sees Ukraine's tragedy as an asset management and a successful investment. 2/6
While hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men have been killed or maimed in an avoidable war, Washington is planning how to preserve this freshly built Ukrainian legion for their next conflict.

The sacrifice of a generation is not enough for them. 3/6
After being decimated in a proxy war with Russia, the survivors are expected to become frontline soldiers for whatever conflict the US Empire cooks up next.

Ukrainians are not treated as allies; they are treated as contractual cannon fodder. 4/6
They speak of "accountability" for Russia, but where is the accountability for Western leaders who blocked peace talks and escalated this war?

Ukraine deserves a just peace, not a future as a mercenary state for NATO. Ukrainians deserve to rebuild, not die in America's future wars. 5/6
The statement from Shaheen is a wake-up call. It confirms that for the DC war machine, Ukrainian lives are a currency to be spent.

Ukrainians are sovereign people, not an imperial legion. They are not pawns.

It's time to demand a negotiated peace. Enough.

6/6

We now have an Al-Qaeda–linked ruler in Damascus and Israel quietly expanding inside Syria under the slogan of “protecting minorities”. This is not an accident.

Let me break down the strategy behind it.

1/19 🧵
I see a lot of people pretending what’s happening in Syria right now is some organic, spontaneous outcome of the so-called “Syrian revolution”.

Let’s be honest: that’s not what happened. 2/19
We now have an Al-Qaeda–linked ruler in Damascus, Julani, whose rise was tolerated – even enabled – because he was useful to a lot of players, including Israel.

Not in spite of his ideology.
Because of it. 3/19

Everyone’s talking about Ukraine's sovereignty. But when Israel expands inside Syria? Silence.

Here’s why Israel is not going to withdraw from these new " buffer zones". 🧵 1/24
Let’s start with what actually happened. Netanyahu, flanked by senior Israeli commanders, didn’t visit the Golan this time. He walked into newly occupied zones in southern Syria, territory Israel has quietly taken amid the Syrian collapse. 2/24
Standing on Syrian soil, he told troops Israel’s presence there is of “immense importance” and will not be rolled back. That’s not a slip of the tongue. That’s policy, stated in the open. 3/24

🚨🇨🇳 China thinks it’s doing smart diplomacy with Syria’s de facto rulers. In reality, it’s stabilizing the house where its future enemies are being trained.

Let’s unpack how the TIP Uyghur militants were prepared as a long-term lever against Beijing.

1/24🧵
Let’s talk about something Western media barely touches: the usefulness of the Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) inside Syria, and why their presence matters far beyond Idlib or Jisr al-Shughur.

Syria was never the end. It was the staging ground. 2/24
From day one, Uyghur militants were not “just another” foreign faction. They were disciplined, ideological, battle-hardened, and highly useful to:

Turkey, NATO structures, HTS under Jolani, and indirectly, the US.

Not for “liberating Syria.” For something else. 3/24

🚨🇺🇸 American soldiers buried their friends fighting al-Qaeda. Today, Washington is rolling out the red carpet for the former leader of al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch.

If that doesn’t tell you the War on Terror was a lie, nothing will. 🧵
1/14 The photograph of Julani slipping into the White House — practically smuggled in like contraband — should have been a geopolitical earthquake.

Instead, it landed in total silence.

The same pundits who shouted about “Islamist infiltration” for 20 years had nothing to say
2/14 The neocon establishment — the ones who built careers warning about al-Qaeda — went mute when Washington welcomed one of al-Qaeda’s senior alumni as the “new Syrian president.”

Their silence reveals more than their outrage ever did.

🇺🇸🏴 As we were fixated on Trump receiving Julani in the White House, something far more consequential unfolded: the IMF — the world’s economic hit man — just stepped into Syria.

Let me break it down. 1/16🧵
Kristalina Georgieva, the head of the IMF, met with Julani. And if you know what the IMF really is, that meeting tells you more about Syria’s future than any handshake in DC ever could. 2/16
The IMF isn’t just a development bank. Zbigniew Brzezinski in The Grand Chessboard openly describes institutions like the IMF as tools of US geopolitical power. 3/17

🚨 I don't know about you, but when the former head of Mossad, Yossi Cohen, sits down before a camera and boasts about booby-trapping and spying on electronic equipment ALL OVER THE WORLD, we should stop pretending this is normal.
1. What Cohen admitted in that interview isn’t a small tactical boast; it’s an open confession of a global sabotage doctrine hiding behind the mask of “innovation.”
2. “Do you know how much treated equipment we have in these countries?” he smirked. “Not only booby-trapped, but spy-manipulated equipment… in all countries you can imagine.”

All the countries you can imagine.
That means yours, mine, and everyone else’s.
