As several times before, Alexander's fidgeting and breathing is making it hard to hear what Prof. Mearsheimer is saying. Fix the sound problem, please!
And how few of you can analyze this critically, or are aware that as good as he is on the Ukraine war and Israel's genocide, Mearsheimer is just another standard issue neocon on China?
@johnstrawb3521 yea right Mearsheimer is a realist and deals with that is, set you likes and dislikes aside,maybe feeling and urge is not a good choice for you I don't know you may have aquired a bias.merry Xmas 🎄
@@johnstrawb3521 JM is American, he does like the empire, but no one can blame him for loving his own country. He sees it as a way out or possibility to prolong collapse in order to save themselves at a later date. The reality on the field is the only reason why he is talking this way, when thing go wrong with China, and they will, i expect him to change.
In the poem "Waiting for the barbarians" by Konstantinos Kavafis (1894) the final verse: "Now what’s going to happen to us without barbarians? Those people were a kind of solution.". What will happen now to the anti Assad allies without Assad? He was a kind of solution. I am sure Mr. Mercouris knows the poem. Thank you, for an excellent video, as always, gentlemen.
He seems to have respiratory/lung/bronchial problems - he's asthmatic maybe? - and he's become unaware of them (the noises). Unlike us, 😏🤭. Being asthmatic myself I sympathise with him (but also with you).
Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity. In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas. If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy. Zelensky, Poroshenko, Merkel and Hollande admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time. Russia's national security was compromised once NATO began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining NATO was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns. 20th September, 2021: Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO. NATO is not a defensive alliance. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter). We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster? Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest. Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland. Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”. Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it. Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country. Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list. Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list. There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence). The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present. Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave. Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) R.I.P. The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims). The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter. I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion. I have provided a brief summary of events that took place. In order to explain this whole situation in great detail, a book would need to be written. Hopefully someone will write an UNBIASED book, stating facts and allowing the readers to form their own judgments. Everything I said can be fact checked and verified.
@JackRichardsonM8 thanks it's uncertain and this situation is brutal and condoned by turk Izzy and US I guess why we come to this show is to get a bigger picture and shake the propaganda.all the best.merry Xmas 🎄

The Egyptian military (particularly the Air Force) has been kept very weak by the US. We support the Egyptian military, but we also make sure it cannot challenge the Israelis militarily; the old F-16s that the Egyptians fly simply cannot compete against the IAF. On August 19, the Egyptian Defense Ministry has reportedly placed an order for modern Chinese J-10C fighters, which plausibly could, but not really without modern anti-aircraft defenses too, and those would, I think, have to come from Russia, which would cause a huge American reaction. If you hear of that reaction, you'll know Egypt is getting serious about pushing back on Israel.
Great video! But if A. Mercouris is the same Mercouris who was disbarred for allegedly forging a letter, among other things, i think that Prof. Mearsheimer should not appear on the same panel with such a person. If this A. Mercouris is not the same one who was disbarred. I drop my comment.
Obama has sent such a signal, that if you are in favour of US leadership, you should support US, that makes sence, it is very expensive to be in charge of everything that is going on around the globe.
Yes fully concur with the discussion and yes we are all in deep trouble and all I can say is the day USA hegemony dies the world will heal, I would be lying if what transpired these 2 weeks has not dealt severe blow to these effort, and cannot be seen as a failure on the part of this effort, it is the success that allowed the goal posts to be shifted and you will never know, seeing that they are failing and resorting to genocide, how do we contend with that, when the USA allows it to happen and countries confront this suddenly end up in economic difficulties. There is a critical issue facing countries today its sovereign debts, failing to address that then countries will have to deal wit there populations and it is evident that this is the case, they have no other choice but to engage in austerity measures to appease their people and those will be the first steps for change, populations are starting to educate themselves through these very channels so I believe that humanity will rise and until that happens the status quo remain and our constant pandering to these politicians to see the light of day and is the exact reason we ask people to put more pressure on politicians and maybe, they will awake with an epiphany, all war are over. They say Nicola Tesla never was given the opportunity to show the world who he truly was and died a poor man whilst his achievements turned people into millionaires, WHAT WOULD HE DO IF HE WAS GIVEN ANOITHER OPPORTUNITY, I WONDER HOW PEOPLE WOULD FEEL, WHOM WERE ALWAYS PAINTED IN A VERY NEGATIVE MANNER AND I FURTHER WONDER WHAT THEY WOULD DO IF THE OPPORTUNITY IS PRESENTED TO THEM TO SHOW THE WORLD WHO YOU TRULY ARE, NOT EVEN A TRILLION DOLLARS WILL BUY THAT, JUST SAYING. THAT IS WHAT HOPE IS THE EFFORT, NOT THE RESULT. Thank you Sirs
The people of the Greater Middle East, including the Levant (most of whom are Semites, and the followers of Abrahamic religions) have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. *Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common.* Strategically ambiguous outsiders make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople, then during WW1 the seat of POWER playing these games changed to London/Paris (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, starting around the time a bark by Washington DC in 1956 (Suez Crisis/War) showed who the new boss was, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire ME was the playground during the Cold War). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the ME, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. Today, their leaders are ALL tools. Draw lines on the map without asking any of those affected. Exploit and foster endless wars, meddle for constant dissent. *Divide-and-rule connects the dots on the timeline of history.* Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of distance from the events resulting out of the own meddling and political activities, being able to reach all the other regions, but could not be reached itself as hegemony, at any given point of a historical timeline? Pax Romana, Rome. Pax Britannica, London. Pax Americana, Washington DC. All they ever wanted was *pax,* because they said so, but who picks up the *pieces of great wealth and the systemic gains* when all the others can be avoided from uniting? *Different Empires. Different era. Same games...* ------------------------------------- The people of the Africa have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Tribalism makes it easy to divide people, then keep them poor under the "kind foot" of exploitation. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the playground during the Cold War. Once the dividers had reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) the own systems of gain could siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. During the Cold War, Moscow took on the role of arming the resistance to the colonial dividers. Today, all African dissenters fighting against unity, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent. _Give the weak mind money, and they will dance for the outside dividers..._ *Divide-and-rule.* Oldest trick in the book... Different people and systems. Different places on the map. Same games. -------------------------------------- The people of the Americas, including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide-and-rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), and as European colonial powers' influence decreased during the 19th century, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900. Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide-and-rule games on their neighbours. *Forget nukes. The divide-and-control/rule/conquer strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be employed equally in times of peace to CONTROL, in times of crises to RULE, and in times of war to CONQUER.* Ever since the two-faced snake slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), the wisest human beings have fruitlessly warned, and the easily divisable have continuously been warned against divisions within a peaceful status quo. When you bow to the division caused by deception, you will lose the good life..."and much that once was, is lost; for none now live who remember it." Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a system divided by lies and deceit). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide-and-rule. Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror" (sic.), constant dissent with everything's a war war war... Insert levers of lies, mistrust. The *two-party-duopoly* is two cheeks of the same golden hind which set out to create favourites: Favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER/WEALTH, to those who volunteer to act as proxies and extensions for the own power projection. The small picture lives of domestic political chaos, of the big picture reality of international insanity. Point the systemic (MSM) finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power by presenting their deep state-orchestrated three-letter-agency astroturfed violence on multiple tiers as being the reactions of "the poor oppressed people, who need our help for freedom and democracy" (sic.). Liars, deceivers, creators of the BLACK LEGEND for the "other side". *In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff said: "[W]e have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. ... Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity."* Kennan: A prototype GLOBALIST. And that is what they did to increase their own wealth. Set up people against each other, then siphon off the wealth of entire regions of the planet. *And that is what you are fighting for. That is what the hegemon has always done, pretending to be the "good pax", but playing "good cop/bad cop" with the world, from a position of power.* In the past, the "good cops" were the INTERNATIONALISTS, and the "bad cops" were the IMPERIALISTS. In the present that has morphed into the "good cops" being the GLOBALISTS/NEOLIBS, and the "bad cops" being the NEOCONS. Name-branding and doublespeak for the slumberland plebs, enchanted by their "bread-and-circuses"-existences. America's friends and self-proclaimed default rivals in Eurasia are still being burnt to ensure this disparity continues, with a (quote) "pattern of relationships" which are beneficial to the own rule. Set up European and Eurasian nations (including the Middle East/North Africa) against each other. It is how divide-and-rule is implemented. The imperialist playbook of Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia for the template. Read W.T. Stead (Americanization of the World, 1901) for the guideline of political-, cultural- and economic capture. Read Smedley-Butler (War is a Racket) for the modus operandi of imperialism/militarism. Some say Europe is a divine goddess. I say, it is a humble apple tree, from an allegory as old as modern civilizations, because it is easy to divide. *Divide and Rule.* Oldest trick in the book... Four corners of the globe. Different cultures and religions. Same games. THE LINK OF THE WORLD. The entire system they favor in the USA/collective West is based on a pre-set *managed and moderated division,* for the benefit of a very few at the top of the pyramids accompanied by the often-repeated nice-sounding storyline. Create the script of the own heroes. Their entire scripted money-funded history sounds like a Hollywood superhero movie that sounds too good to be true. Guess what? It is. It is what they are NOT telling you, that they try to hide. Who wields the POWER? Who has had the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? Create the default rival/enemy on their own marching routes. It is usually the power most likely to succeed which is determined as the default rival/enemy. Notice how, as soon as a rival starts mass-producing products high up in the value chain of capitalism, and starts vying for markets, and becomes successful, it immediately becomes the systemic rival, and is then geopolitically encircled by the greater empire. It happened around 1900, as Germany started building high-value products, and it happened around 2000, as China started moving away from building cheap toys and labor intensive kitchen appliances... The games start on the home turf. The first victims are their own people in the USA/collective West, locked in the eternal struggle for wealth and personal gain which they have been deceived into thinking is "good greed", but which WILL be exploited by the snakes who deceive them on the domestic tier of the divide-and-rule system of power. Because ..."most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams *War is a great **_divider._** It goes straight through the heads of millions and billions of people from the very top tiers, right down to the individual level. War divides alignments and alliances, goes straight through organizations, divides political parties, tears through families, and finally at the very bottom tier, goes straight through individual hearts and minds as individuals struggle with themselves.*
It’s always interesting to hear Westerners-especially so-called enlightened Westerners-think they understand a region with a history that stretches far back before France, England, and later America began influencing it. This area was once part of the Ottoman Empire-and it wasn’t just any empire. It was a Muslim empire, and what none of your panel seems to understand is that it was Sharia law that served as the glue holding it together. For over 300 years, religious minorities-including Druze, Alawites, Christians, and Shia Muslims-lived peacefully under Ottoman rule before corruption set in during the final century of the empire. I’ll admit there was persecution toward the end, but prior to that, these minorities coexisted and even prospered alongside Sunni majorities. Now, take a look at what’s coming together again. Syria is on the verge of reuniting, and guess who’s taking charge? The Sunni Muslims-and their chief partner is none other than Sunni Muslim Turkey. This isn’t just some nationalistic agenda-Turkey is strategically positioning itself to rebuild its influence and possibly revive a form of the caliphate. And here’s where you’re all missing the point-you’re overlooking the religious factor. Islam isn’t just a cultural identity; it’s deeply political. This is a major driver of the revolution, and it’s exactly why Jolani is shifting toward a moderate approach. There’s an element within Sharia law that, by its very principles, is required to grant rights to other Abrahamic religions-even if they’re considered apostates under Sunni doctrine. That’s the aspect we’re seeing revived, and Westerners are completely clueless about it. This legal and religious framework is the glue that’s going to unite Syria. Once Syria regains its unity, Turkey is going to reshape the region, marginalize U.S. influence in the northeast, and create a new Syrian nation-heavily influenced by Turkey, of course. And then guess what happens? Once they’re united, their next move will be to drive out Israel. But it won’t stop there. This new Syria is going to build a strategic alliance with Iran, and when Iran, Turkey, and Syria come together, it could mark the beginning of the end for Israel.
Syria was already neutered. Now, Turkey in the north can provide overland supply to Hezbollah and active support to the Palestinians, as Erdogan so often demanded without himself ever doing anything. The Israelis are holding more territory, but overextended, and actually have in hand no real advantage beyond settlement land in Syria they could not protect. Worse, Israel fights with every single neighbor, always attacking, and Turkey has endlessly talked about giving them reason to do so.
Sweden has according to our leaders a very good army, 2 brigades, very properly trained . Oh yes submarines, drive them to the 🙃 Black sea, would that be something?
i think "stop talking about it" is a decent option to begin with. ukraine need to be left alone. just stop. you might as well stop talking about ukraine. just leave it alone.
@lennarthallberg9918 when you make disparaging comments about peoples integrity and avoid addressing the issues brought forth, you expose yourself for the nitwit you are.

Excellent podcast. The truth is dangerous to those who rule over us.......
if only Alexander would mute himself when others are speaking
Events in Syria are not about democracy or human rights, it's about US, UK, Turkish, Israeli interests and the Qatar-Turkey gas pipeline project.
Please please mute your mic, Alexander, when you're not speaking.

All they ever wanted was *pax,* because they said so, but who picks up the *pieces of great wealth and the systemic gains* when all the others can be avoided from uniting?
*Different Empires. Different era. Same games...*
-------------------------------------
The people of the Africa have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Tribalism makes it easy to divide people, then keep them poor under the "kind foot" of exploitation. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the playground during the Cold War. Once the dividers had reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) the own systems of gain could siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. During the Cold War, Moscow took on the role of arming the resistance to the colonial dividers. Today, all African dissenters fighting against unity, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent.
_Give the weak mind money, and they will dance for the outside dividers..._
*Divide-and-rule.*
Oldest trick in the book...
Different people and systems. Different places on the map. Same games.
--------------------------------------
The people of the Americas, including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide-and-rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), and as European colonial powers' influence decreased during the 19th century, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900. Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide-and-rule games on their neighbours.
*Forget nukes. The divide-and-control/rule/conquer strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be employed equally in times of peace to CONTROL, in times of crises to RULE, and in times of war to CONQUER.*
Ever since the two-faced snake slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), the wisest human beings have fruitlessly warned, and the easily divisable have continuously been warned against divisions within a peaceful status quo. When you bow to the division caused by deception, you will lose the good life..."and much that once was, is lost; for none now live who remember it." Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a system divided by lies and deceit).
Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide-and-rule. Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror" (sic.), constant dissent with everything's a war war war...
Insert levers of lies, mistrust. The *two-party-duopoly* is two cheeks of the same golden hind which set out to create favourites: Favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER/WEALTH, to those who volunteer to act as proxies and extensions for the own power projection. The small picture lives of domestic political chaos, of the big picture reality of international insanity. Point the systemic (MSM) finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power by presenting their deep state-orchestrated three-letter-agency astroturfed violence on multiple tiers as being the reactions of "the poor oppressed people, who need our help for freedom and democracy" (sic.). Liars, deceivers, creators of the BLACK LEGEND for the "other side".
*In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff said: "[W]e have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. ... Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity."* Kennan: A prototype GLOBALIST. And that is what they did to increase their own wealth. Set up people against each other, then siphon off the wealth of entire regions of the planet.
*And that is what you are fighting for. That is what the hegemon has always done, pretending to be the "good pax", but playing "good cop/bad cop" with the world, from a position of power.* In the past, the "good cops" were the INTERNATIONALISTS, and the "bad cops" were the IMPERIALISTS. In the present that has morphed into the "good cops" being the GLOBALISTS/NEOLIBS, and the "bad cops" being the NEOCONS. Name-branding and doublespeak for the slumberland plebs, enchanted by their "bread-and-circuses"-existences.
America's friends and self-proclaimed default rivals in Eurasia are still being burnt to ensure this disparity continues, with a (quote) "pattern of relationships" which are beneficial to the own rule. Set up European and Eurasian nations (including the Middle East/North Africa) against each other. It is how divide-and-rule is implemented. The imperialist playbook of Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia for the template. Read W.T. Stead (Americanization of the World, 1901) for the guideline of political-, cultural- and economic capture. Read Smedley-Butler (War is a Racket) for the modus operandi of imperialism/militarism.
Some say Europe is a divine goddess. I say, it is a humble apple tree, from an allegory as old as modern civilizations, because it is easy to divide.
*Divide and Rule.*
Oldest trick in the book...
Four corners of the globe. Different cultures and religions. Same games.
THE LINK OF THE WORLD.
The entire system they favor in the USA/collective West is based on a pre-set *managed and moderated division,* for the benefit of a very few at the top of the pyramids accompanied by the often-repeated nice-sounding storyline. Create the script of the own heroes. Their entire scripted money-funded history sounds like a Hollywood superhero movie that sounds too good to be true. Guess what? It is. It is what they are NOT telling you, that they try to hide.
Who wields the POWER? Who has had the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? Create the default rival/enemy on their own marching routes. It is usually the power most likely to succeed which is determined as the default rival/enemy. Notice how, as soon as a rival starts mass-producing products high up in the value chain of capitalism, and starts vying for markets, and becomes successful, it immediately becomes the systemic rival, and is then geopolitically encircled by the greater empire. It happened around 1900, as Germany started building high-value products, and it happened around 2000, as China started moving away from building cheap toys and labor intensive kitchen appliances...
The games start on the home turf. The first victims are their own people in the USA/collective West, locked in the eternal struggle for wealth and personal gain which they have been deceived into thinking is "good greed", but which WILL be exploited by the snakes who deceive them on the domestic tier of the divide-and-rule system of power. Because ..."most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams
*War is a great **_divider._** It goes straight through the heads of millions and billions of people from the very top tiers, right down to the individual level. War divides alignments and alliances, goes straight through organizations, divides political parties, tears through families, and finally at the very bottom tier, goes straight through individual hearts and minds as individuals struggle with themselves.*
It’s always interesting to hear Westerners-especially so-called enlightened Westerners-think they understand a region with a history that stretches far back before France, England, and later America began influencing it.
This area was once part of the Ottoman Empire-and it wasn’t just any empire. It was a Muslim empire, and what none of your panel seems to understand is that it was Sharia law that served as the glue holding it together.
For over 300 years, religious minorities-including Druze, Alawites, Christians, and Shia Muslims-lived peacefully under Ottoman rule before corruption set in during the final century of the empire. I’ll admit there was persecution toward the end, but prior to that, these minorities coexisted and even prospered alongside Sunni majorities.
Now, take a look at what’s coming together again. Syria is on the verge of reuniting, and guess who’s taking charge? The Sunni Muslims-and their chief partner is none other than Sunni Muslim Turkey.
This isn’t just some nationalistic agenda-Turkey is strategically positioning itself to rebuild its influence and possibly revive a form of the caliphate. And here’s where you’re all missing the point-you’re overlooking the religious factor. Islam isn’t just a cultural identity; it’s deeply political. This is a major driver of the revolution, and it’s exactly why Jolani is shifting toward a moderate approach.
There’s an element within Sharia law that, by its very principles, is required to grant rights to other Abrahamic religions-even if they’re considered apostates under Sunni doctrine. That’s the aspect we’re seeing revived, and Westerners are completely clueless about it.
This legal and religious framework is the glue that’s going to unite Syria. Once Syria regains its unity, Turkey is going to reshape the region, marginalize U.S. influence in the northeast, and create a new Syrian nation-heavily influenced by Turkey, of course.
And then guess what happens? Once they’re united, their next move will be to drive out Israel.
But it won’t stop there. This new Syria is going to build a strategic alliance with Iran, and when Iran, Turkey, and Syria come together, it could mark the beginning of the end for Israel.
Lapdog is someone who is willing to do anything that a more important person tells them to do.
Syria was already neutered. Now, Turkey in the north can provide overland supply to Hezbollah and active support to the Palestinians, as Erdogan so often demanded without himself ever doing anything. The Israelis are holding more territory, but overextended, and actually have in hand no real advantage beyond settlement land in Syria they could not protect. Worse, Israel fights with every single neighbor, always attacking, and Turkey has endlessly talked about giving them reason to do so.
Sweden has according to our leaders a very good army, 2 brigades, very properly trained . Oh yes submarines, drive them to the 🙃 Black sea, would that be something?
The sound here is AWFUL. And not for the first time. Surely there's a solution.
Yes Hizbollah is a loser in this.
But what about Lebanon as a country?
And why har US build in Lebanon the biggest US embassy in the world?
I would be surprised if it is only an embassy. Maybe some type of spy station, military research station with weapons cache?

i think "stop talking about it" is a decent option to begin with. ukraine need to be left alone. just stop. you might as well stop talking about ukraine. just leave it alone.
