The #Swedish gov. troika (PM/MD/FM) try hard to join this list, representing "the civilized West". They jump whenever US order them, as shown by their efforts to cede jurisdiction to the US over 17 (!) territories, turned into US military bases as if longing for US occupation.

They lied about Vietnam. They lied about Camabodia, Libya and Syria. They lied about Iraq, They lied about Serbia. They lied about the North of Ireland. They lied about Suez. They lied about Afghanistan. They lied about Africa

But they are telling you the truth about Ukraine?

If you thought you just witnessed #Syria becoming “free from the tyrant Assad”, then this video will explain why you might be suffering from a very common mental condition…

Anyone who can explain why Assad's pre-recorded farewell speech and possible explanation of the catastrophic events was not aired, as planned, after he left the country, please get in touch.

All the backstabbers who are now turning against Assad, protecting their interests - you were in a position to say something for 14 years. Why didn't you?

I don't blame any of the ordinary people for adopting the new era. People in Syria are isolated and afraid, some are terrified.

The mainstream media vultures are flooding in to claw at the corpse of one of the oldest civilisations in the world. History will be revised as it always is - by the victor. If only the Victor were genuinely Syrian and grass roots, not a terrorist force incubated in #CIA black sites and empowered by Israel and the collective Western alliance of callous hegemony.

Syria will become a toothless melting pot of foreign interests, resource looting and expanding Zionist land grab. A nation without an army and without any military infrastructure is not a nation. It's a playing field for the predators.

General Wesley Clark revealed the US would take out 7 countries after Afghanistan:
- Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran
- The role of the media is to sell it as "freedom". They do not explain why you should celebrate an al-Quaeda leader taking power in Syria

We now have video footage alongside systematic evidence that Israeli soldiers gang rape Palestinian captives and there is zero outrage from Western media. I am loosing my mind.

Now that this episode of 🇮🇱-🇮🇷 tit-for-tat has concluded, some thoughts:

💢 At the surface level,

1) Iran has successfully reestablished the deterrence that had become severely compromised since Oct 7th— due to its own strategic patience & desire to avoid war with the US.

2) Israel's Iron Dome & missile defense worked as intended & intercepted most of Iranian attacks receiving minimal damage & zero casualties.

➡This should give both sides room to avoid further escalation⚡

💢 On the deeper level,

1) The Attacks were not a surprise neither in form nor timing-wise: they appear to have been coordinated with the Biden Administration in advance, giving the US/allies ample time to deploy additional resources to complement Israel's own defenses & repel bulk of the attacks. Still, Iran was able to successfully hit the couple airbases in Negev desert that it had specifically targeted & claims were directly involved in the bombing of its embassy. That's too precise to be a coincidence. Either the US allowed it to happen as a prior agreement, or the Iranians are flexing their missile maneuverability, using the cover of the barrage to actually hit the targets they choose.

2) The higher than anticipated number of missiles launched by Iran was a signal of Iran's capability to launch multiple forms of projectiles simultaneously, and to further highlight Israel's dependency on US assistance to repel even this more limited barrage. Iran reaped a psychological victory of blanketing Israeli skies with missiles while warning that the next attack, were things to escalate, would be many times more severe & of course an actual surprise with potential to actually penetrate into Israel.

3) The decision not to target a single one of many US bases in the region (that are now obv strategic liabilities for Washington) was clearly deliberate as to emphasize that Iran & the US are not at war. This is held over the US as a potential threat if Biden fails to rein in Israel in the future or, worse, assist Israel with attacks on Iranian soil.

4) Israel is not a monolith, & Netanyahu's utter failure in Gaza to either secure the hostages or to actually eliminate Hamas (impossible goal) on top of his provocative actions against Iran bringing the specter of ultimate existential war to Israel is rousing the good decent people of Israel against him & the extremists around him. Those holding 🇮🇱 government accountable for its action will ultimately be the Israelis themselves, but 🇮🇷 attack is a wake-up call that the current path is a dead-end.

5) Iran's insistence on ceasefire in Gaza as an off-ramp for the attack, knowing full well that Netanyahu would not abide, is a testament to the Iranian expertise in hybrid wars. This was a diplomatic win that raised its profile in the Arab world, undermined Arab governments' legitimacy & exposed empty Turkish rhetoric on Israel. Tehran's follow-through on its words was something Arabs haven't seen from their own states (one reason for Hamas' rising popularity among Arabs); this could prove inspiring in the Arab Street.

6) The United States kept its word to protect Israel against its enemies. But demonstrated that its commitments to Israelis security will be only defensive. The Iranian display of strength has made it all but clear that the US has no interest in an all-out regional war in an election year, with Biden touting a “united Diplomatic response” to Iran's attack and telling Bibi not to engage in a further overt military response. In other words, if Israel decides to go on the offensive, it'll have do so alone.

7) Despite the DC Anti-Iran brigade's immediate bluster calling for strikes against 🇮🇷 nuclear sites, the coordination & proportionality of the attacks suggest a degree of acceptance re Iran's right to self-defense against Israeli provocations. The administration will likely push for sanctions on Iran's ballistic missile program, but we may have just avoided WWIII this time around—if by a hair!

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

We're on the brink of a Middle East war, which could quickly escalate into a world war, with nuclear weapons.

Still so certain it was a good idea to let Israel brutalise the Palestinians, steal their land, herd them into tiny reservations, and now slaughter them – all while we supplied the weapons and provided the diplomatic cover?

If not, maybe time to stop believing western governments when they tell you anyone who is against this is an 'antisemite'.

[Pelham @Resist_05]

This is Swedish diplomat Folke Bernadotte who personally saved 31,000 Jews and non-Jews from the Nazi Germany…🇩🇪

He was chosen to be the United Nations Security Council mediator in the Palestine–Israeli conflict of 1947–1948…

The Zionists killed him in Jerusalem after he wrote his UN report detailing the devastated Palestinian villages he saw and the mass killings…🇮🇱🇵🇸

Any country condemning Iran but said nothing when Israel bombed the Iranian embassy can eat sh!t

@IranObserver0 Iran is a crucial counterbalance to Israel. Israel is currently a rogue state going out of control causing endless chaos in the Middle East. Iran is the only serious threat for them. That’s why they need to help bring stability to the Middle East
