  • Setbacks for Russia, Iran and Hezbollah

    Setbacks for Russia, Iran and Hezbollah Turn Into a Catastrophe for
    Syria's Assad

    It had taken the Syrian regime and its backers--Iran, Russia and Hezbollah--more than four years to dislodge rebel forces from the
    country's second-largest city of Aleppo. At the time, in 2016, they
    celebrated that victory as the turning point in Syria's civil war.

    Now, a surprise rebel offensive has recaptured Aleppo in just a few
    days, including parts of the city that the Syrian army had never
    surrendered before. This stunning feat is the direct consequence of
    new wars that have erupted outside Syria's borders.

    Did the US arm Syrian rebels?

    President Barack Obama secretly authorized the CIA to begin arming
    Syria's embattled rebels in 2013. The program became public knowledge
    in mid-2016. Thousands of Syrian rebel fighters trained and equipped
    by US, UK and Arab governments in an effort to overthrow the Syrian
    government.

    Just when you thought we had enough going on with Ukraine-Russia
    and the Israel-Lebanon/Gaza thing, Syria pops its head up and
    says, don't forget us!

    I hope somebody goes and gets that motherfucker, drags him back to
    Syria, and lets the mob have him so he can be tortured to death.

    Brutal dictators deserve brutal endings, not retirement parties in
    Moscow. I want to see that fucker melted in a pit of lye.

    I won't go as far as wishing what you wish for, but let's say that I
    certainly won't shed any tears if it actually happened. ;)

    I think the current retirement home for african/arabian dictator is dubai, isn't it?

    But, at the end of the day, he's small fry. Getting rid of Putin is the
    big problem, once he is gone, the little people will probably be rooted
    out by the shockwaves.
