Mindful of the botched policy it had pursued in Libya and Syria, and aware of the catastrophe it had wrought in the Middle East region, the Obama administration had to yield to the dictates of Saudi Arabia and UAE.

In March 2017, alternative media was abuzz with reports that a dam was about to collapse and the entire civilian population downstream the Euphrates River needed to be evacuated to prevent a catastrophe. But the US national security establishment had issued a gag order to mainstream media “not to sensationalize the issue.”

Whatever you may want to say about Vladimir Putin, he dropped numerous political explosives in the New World Order over the years.

The flow of foreign delegations to Damascus is expanding, demonstrating the readiness of different countries to intensify cooperation with the Syrian Arab Republic (SAR) in many areas, and to provide their investments in the restoration of the economic life of Syria.

US forces occupying Syria have come under attack. And why shouldn't they?

Jim W. Dean - Wanting to discuss what is the legal basis for us using proxy terrorism as a geopolitical tool should be a big enough scandal to go to the top of the list of US security issues.

Israeli Minister Michael Oren: "The initial message about the Syrian issue was that we always wanted [President] Bashar Assad to go, we always preferred the bad guys who weren’t backed by Iran to the bad guys who were backed by Iran."

Jim Dean - Ambassador Jeffrey thinks that using proxy terrorists against Syrian civilians is the "least bad option" for US policy in Syria.

President Biden's plan to win back the trust of the global community was not off to a good start, because at the end of February, he ordered an air strike near the Iraqi-Syrian border that could aid efforts of terrorists from DAESH.

Descending into a public blame game is what the parties do when talks start to break down – it’s not an effective measure to get talks going.

In a press conference held today in Moscow via video conferencing, Klimov said, that the Syrian people have the right to protect their interests and decide their own fate.

Ankara reveals its double standards by buying oil from the Syrian Kurds, who are considered terrorists by the Turkish authorities.

People who after the Syria cover-up coverage continue to trust international Western mainstream outlets deserve to be fooled. And they will be.

Concerning the alleged Syrian gas attacks, if the claim of evidence suppression, selective use of data, and exclusion of key investigators are not unfounded, then it is important that the events should be dealt with openly and correctly.

Jim W. Dean - Could this be Israelis pulling a string to do a favor by giving Trump one more shot at bombing Syria before the election to show what a tough guy he is?

Katherine Frisk -- The predominately Orthodox Christian community in Nagorno-Karabakh have been roped into what is quite openly called World War III, Armageddon. As I recall, Tut- Mosis 111 made mince meat of his enemies at Armageddon/Megiddo. There is a good chance that he will do it again along with his Armenian sons. IF I am right, well then, poof goes the Judah weasel!

Jim W. Dean - The Syrian Kurds are now in full bore betrayal mode, having joined in completely with the US plans to use them as a puppet state, carving off northern and eastern Syria.

Daniel Pipes: “The MEK poses no danger to Americans or Europeans, and has not for decades. It does pose a danger to the malign, bellicose theocratic regime in Tehran.”

Apache helicopters of the US occupation forces flew low Sunday morning, according to residents of the Adla village, in the Shaddadi countryside, south of Hasaka, as they dropped ‘thermal balloons’, an incendiary weapon, causing the wheat fields to explode into flames while the hot dry winds fanned the raging fire.
