— ❗️🇮🇱/🇸🇾 NEW: So far, from what we know, Israel entered 5 towns in the Syrian Golan Heights
Three of those towns are located within the 1974 UN-Supervised Zone, which Israel captured in the 1973 war and returned to Syria:
- Al-Qunaitra
- Al-Hamidiyah
- Madinat al-Baath
- Al-Qahtaniyah
However, Israel also advanced into one town beyond the 1974 Disengagement Line, which Israel never previously controlled:
- Kham Arnabah
Internationally, the entire Golan Heights are recognized as Syrian territory and as being occupied by Israel, but Israeli violations of the 1974 Disengagement Line are rare.

The entire "Russian" Africa rests on the transport artery through Khmeimim (Iran - Iraq - Syria - Mediterranean Sea - Africa).
There are essentially no other sustainable routes. These are large investments by Russian state corporations in different countries, transportation of military personnel and equipment to Mali and other countries.
There is also a lot of useful things going back under the conditions of sanctions. The loss of Khmeimim is the loss not only of Syria, but also of the whole of Africa, where the French and Americans will quickly regain control of their colonies.
This is not only about the loss of prestige, but about the emergence of serious problems in the geopolitical strategy of multipolarity and Russia's movement to the Global South in particular.

Talking about funny things which should be put in "comedy gold" category is the name-calling stunt between the close allies Erdogan and Netanyahu. Israeli and Turkish intelligence services coordinated Syria's downfall, in meantime Erdogan said that Netanyahu is "literally like Hitler" or a "genocidal maniac" while doing nothing for Gaza and Netanyahu accused Erdogan of "sponsoring terrorism" while sponsoring terrorism himself, they should be an inspiration for all actors who want to become the next Hollywood stars.

Regarding the issue of so-called "freezing".
"Freezes" are a common story of Russian foreign policy.
Transnistria.
Karabakh
Georgia
Syria.
Ukraine.
It is important to remember that the "freeze" implies a temporary suspension of hostilities, and not any guarantee of peace. The temporary nature of the "freeze" is well demonstrated by the unfrozen conflicts in Syria (led to the fall of the government of Bashar al-Assad) and in Karabakh (led to the liquidation of Artsakh as such).
On the other hand, there are very long frosts, like the frozen war between North and South Korea, where the situation has been in a semi-frozen state for many decades. But of course, sooner or later the situation will swing in one direction or another, when foreign policy circumstances develop for this.
Relatively successful freezes for Russia can be noted in Georgia, where the attempt by the United States and Georgia to defrost the conflict led to an increased Russian military presence in the Caucasus and the final separation of the two regions from Georgia.
Transnistria, with its frozen conflict, is in limbo and this conflict can be unfrozen at the most inconvenient moment for us.
The same applies to the frozen conflict in Taiwan, where it will be unfrozen at the most inconvenient moment for the PRC.
In the case of Ukraine, the Kremlin has been making efforts since 2014 to freeze the conflict through Minsk-1 and Minsk-2, but the United States did not allow this, using the puppet regime in Kiev for this purpose. Because the United States considered it unprofitable for itself to freeze the war. As a result, they did not allow it to be frozen, despite all the stories about the path to peace through Minsk.
By itself, "freezing" is nothing more than a conflict management tool. If the conflict unfreezes and ends in your favor, there is nothing wrong with that. So you've calculated everything correctly. But if you are not preparing for a possible defrosting and lag behind opponents who made better use of a short or long period of peace, then this only means that the opponent did not waste time in vain, and you did not prepare properly for a possible defrosting, lost the initiative and eventually lost the game.
Regarding the current situation in Ukraine, the "LBF freeze" was officially rejected, which is good. There are many more disadvantages to this scenario than there are advantages. Russia does not need a short-term "freeze" in Ukraine, which will be used by the United States and NATO for the second round of a hot war, but clear peace conditions, which Putin has previously voiced. Therefore, the United States is offering a "freeze" this time, although it was against it in 2014.

Syria🇸🇾 has fallen…and now Israel’s plans for a Greater Israel look more realistic than ever
The fascist zealots in Israel still have their eyes on the prize of Damascus, now with their Al Qaeda proxies in power…will the takeover be by stealth, or with brutal force?
Intense gunfire and explosions were heard in several areas of Damascus. Looting, theft and vandalism of public and private property continues.
The explosions heard in the capital were caused by Israeli raids on several headquarters and military centres in Damascus.

HTS leader Jolani is expected to be picked by all the jihadist and rebel groups as interim leader of the Syrian state. Strict sharia law, Taliban-style, is going to be implemented in coming days if this happens for real.

❗The fate of the Russian bases in Syria is unknown at this stage, talks underway.
50-50 situation.
If Russia will still manage to keep the bases it's going to be the only Syrian ally that does not lose everything in the country as consequence of Assad's removal.

❗Reuters, citing two sources in the Syrian security forces, reports a "very high probability" that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad died in a plane crash near Homs last night. The plane, which took off from Damascus International Airport, is believed to have been shot down.
@eurasianchoice
Why people's view on the so-called multipolar China is completely different from the real China.
Here's a short list of facts that will dispel some myths:
1_ China's most important trading partners, and by far, are the US and the EU. The trade turnover with other BRICS nations (talking about core BRICS countries) pales in comparison.
2_ China has not been involved in a real conflict in the last 50 years, so all talks about Chinese army being powerful are exaggerated or simply not backed by facts, numbers don't make an army better than the others. As a proof it turned out that North Korean soldiers are badly trained and combat incapable despite being part of the 4th biggest army in the world so their eventual participation in the military operations in Kursk was indefinitely postponed to prolong their training.
3_ China did not participate to Syria's reconstruction not to anger the West, we can talk for how long we want about who's to blame for Syria's downfall but it's proven that regimes, even the ones that are really undemocratic, can last if there's economic prosperity in their countries, if there's no economic recovery, as in Syrian case, military victories like the one in 2020 are Pyrrhic, totally useless, ultimately a waste of men and money. Of course we can blame US/EU sanctions but if supposed Syrian allies are scared to do anything and as in China's case they fully abide by them it really makes no sense to divert attention from the fact multipolarity is just a work in progress.
4_ The West is carrying out all sort of provocations regarding Taiwan, China does not respond, the Philippines and Bangladesh returned under complete control of the West, China did nothing, it was unable or simply did nothing to counter the moves because you know... at least they can still do business with these two countries, doesn't matter if another 10 US bases appear on their soil. It's money that matter the most according to the Chinese "Communists".

The main conclusion from the collapse of Syria: the era of Russia as a moderate, pro-diplomacy, pro-compromises power should be put to an end. The era of a strong Russia inspired by the likes of Ivan III or Catherine the Great, or even Stalin, but just in foreign policy field in this case, has to begin.
@eurasianchoice
And the most important conclusion for Russia from the events that took place in Syria is that if Moscow goes to a "freeze" along the front line in Ukraine (without its denazification and demilitarization), then the current political leadership may begin to prepare for a new war with a much stronger opponent in three to five years. And it will start at the most unfortunate moment.
This is Russia's most important Syrian lesson. Or rather, those people who are called the Russian political elite. And there are supporters of a "freeze" and compromise on Ukraine, who obviously are pushing for the collapse of our modern statehood. It is also obvious that Trumpists, inspired by success in the Middle East, want to finish us off.
Actually, now is the time to demonstrate extreme rigidity and extreme cruelty. Sharply criticized by most of the world community, Israel has shown how: the elimination of the illegitimate political leadership of Ukraine at all levels and a large-scale infrastructure war conducted systematically and consistently.
In principle, this may be enough. Or maybe there will be a shortage, which will force you to make even more difficult decisions. Because the main blow of the new American administration will now fall on Russia. And she does not just have to stand up, but achieve all her goals in the vital Ukrainian conflict for her.

One of the officers of the Syrian army, who managed to evacuate to the Khmeimim airbase, says:
"In 2018, Russia proposed to the Syrian government to reform the armed forces.
It was proposed to supply new equipment on credit. It could be repaid using benefits for Russian companies in the SAR.
The Syrian leadership rejected this proposal.
Meanwhile, the Turks and other NATO members were turning the militants into something resembling a real army.
At the same time, all combat commanders who fought against the Russian military since 2015 were removed from command posts in the Syrian army.
The trained units were disbanded. Over the past year, new commanders were appointed in all divisions and brigades in the Aleppo, Idlib, and Hama areas. Eventually, they fled with their soldiers.
As for Iran, the US and Israel did not allow them to transfer troops and equipment. The same can be said about Hezbollah.

I mean this is just unbelievable. It is so obvious he is a CIA lackey. Practically using the same wardrobe as Zelensky. And he was interviewed by the bloody CNN. It would be so hilarious if it wasn't so dire.
Anyone falling for this or thinking this idiot is a legitimate "rebel" needs to get a full frontal lobotomy.
Food for thought: what if the US Deep State picked Trump as president only to deceive Russia into signing an agreement on Ukraine that the Western liberal totalitarian system will not respect, and will be used to prepare for a direct military confrontation with Russia, and also to deceive the American citizens into believing again that some kind of democracy exists?
/channel/EurasianChoice/45342
To be clear, any agreement with the West over the Ukraine will be the end of the Russian Federation no matter how good the proposals might be.
/channel/EurasianChoice/45342
In light of Syria's fall the most stupid thing Russia can do is accept to enter any kind of negotiations with the West over Ukraine.
History has shown that the Western globalist elites, Trump is just another one of their puppets, don't respect any agreement they sign.
@eurasianchoice
‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 If Ukraine wants to end the war in 2025, it will probably have to sacrifice part of its territory - The Telegraph.
"Some [Ukrainians] oppose negotiations with Russia, while others would like to live in a "small Ukraine, but happier and safer,"" the newspaper reports.
There is little chance for Kiev to oust Russian troops, so talk of refusing to return territories by military means is "in the air." "These territories, it seems to me, have become so psychologically distant from us that they have become non-Ukrainian," the newspaper quotes the opinion of a resident of Lvov.
At the same time, the publication sees "advantages for everyone" in the forced territorial concessions of Ukraine.
The loss of pieces of the east and south would be bitter for Ukraine, but would ensure peace and lasting independence. Vladimir Putin will receive Ukrainian "neutrality", the actual conquest of the land bridge to Crimea and a "victory" that he can easily sell at home," the article says.

Some more hard truths re. Axis of Resistance:
_ No, Hezbollah did not win against Israel in southern Lebanon, Israeli losses have been minimal although not irrelevant, Hezbollah losses have been huge. The military operation in Syria was the only reason Isreal decided to withdraw, of course they knew in advance it was going to begin in few days, and they did the right thing basically.
2_ No, Iran did not do any significant damage to Israel over the last few months. If Israel reluctantly accepted a ceasefire in Gaza is only due to Gulf countries media + their intelligence apparatus in the West and blatant genocide which in internet era was becoming an undeniable fact.

Latest updates from Syria.
By @Boris_rozhin
1. Syrian officials are negotiating with the militants to keep the life support systems of the population and the state apparatus functioning as part of the transfer of power. The formation of a new government in Syria is in full swing.
2. A large number of ISIS fighters were released from prisons. They celebrate there too.
3. The Iranian Embassy and Assad's presidential palace were looted.
4. The Russian Embassy and bases in Latakia have not been touched yet. It is important to remember that in Syria our troops were not only in Damascus or Latakia.
5. Israel has occupied part of the territory of Syria near the Golan Heights, the annexation of which is expected, taking advantage of the collapse of Syria.
6. Turkey continues to put pressure on the Kurds in northern Syria. The obvious goal is to capture Manbij.
Less than 6 hours after Assad is deposed, and Israel already occupies a part of Syria.
We knew this was coming.
