Transcript linked below video. Longish video, but very logical progression, lots of geopolitical prognosticating.

One baddie always replace another.
If HDS is Curly, Russia is Moe, and Iran is Larry, we can just munch popcorn and watch them slap each other around. But that’s too good a thing to last long. Sooner or later they’ll make like the Marx Brothers and start working together again.
Boy, these metaphors are getting out of hand.
Then, the proxy war we started with Russia was supposed. The sanction war was supposed to leave the Russian economy into tatters.
Russia was running money, missile and ammo every two weeks for the first six months of the war.
After that, the Wagner group was supposed to be marching on Moscow and driving Putin out.
Since the war began, Western intelligence has claimed Putin was dead and Russia was using a body double in his place. He had blood, thyroid and stomach cancer yet is still alive>
Those with Russian Derangement Syndrome need to get a new hobby.
Putin came to power after the 1998 Russian financial collaspe. Putin has returned Russia to Great Power status, at a time when China surpassed the US as a manufacturing power. There 3 great powers today.
If Russia is checkmated... it speaks more to the in acknowledged great power status Russia achieved.
Putin has been the leader who brought Russia from collaspe to a global ecomonic, military and political power far surpasding the uneven power dynamic of the USSR.
Trump and Rubio acknowledged the reversal of US supremacy and recognizes the US will engage with China, Russia as diplomatic peers, and reengage diplomacy lacking in US world relationships since the Clinton Admin.
A poster took issue calling this to a threats attention asking if I were Madeline Albright, to I answer it is the direct repudation of her and American actions.
Keep dreaming about Syria and Iran and Russia. Biden and Obama destroed the US standing to line their own political pockets at the Nations expense.
PS. Russia wants Zelensky gone and the will oblige before 2026 negotiations in Ukraine. The US will have initiate diplomatic relatipns with Russia in order to begin talking with Russia about Ukraine.
Darn difficult to post from a phone.
did he mention the saudi-europe pipeline that has to go thru syria?
“The Maiden Coup was supposed to destroy Russia.
blah blah blah blah
Those with Russian Derangement Syndrome need to get a new hobby.”
Dream on. Nobody GAGS about destroying Russia. The Maidan uprising was about Ukraine maintaining its independence, something that’s been 300 years in coming, partly because they’re a bunch of barbaric dumbasses, who keep getting played, first by the Czars, then by the Bolsheviks, then by the Nazis. Their latest “savior” is the west, which is probably also playing them as well.
Oh, well. At least they’ve outgrown the “blame the Jooos!” formula for reacting to their misfortunes. I wish them well, so long as they don’t do any more pogroms. They really are good at doing pogroms, as my forebears and their relatives can attest. But it’s self-destructive as well as heinous.
Russia, on the other hand, has Russia Derangement Syndrome and wants to restore its old empire. Instead, it’s stuck in a tar baby in Ukraine, and the tar baby hits back. Oh, well. Play stupid games...
Get over your horniness for Putin’s crotch. His days are numbered. Whoever replaces him is probably going to be just as bad, and you can be just as enamored of him.
Nobody is interested in destroying Russia. It’s like wanting to have Wile E. Coyote put down, instead of coming back next episode to entertain us all with its next stupid plan to capture Roadrunner “Mir,” which means both “peace” and “the world”. Russia wants Mir. It is determined to have Mir. You figure out which of those meanings is accurate.
Someone tell me have an Al Qaeda off-shoot, controlled by Turkey, running Syria, is a long term benefit for the USA, Israel, Jordan, mid-east Christians, or anyone else we call “friend” there?
Good luck with that.
You started a reasonable debate, then quickly resorted to this.
Your stupidity undoes your efforts.
I didn’t start any debate. I was not interested in debating Ukraine with anybody. This was about Syria, not Ukraine. I resent Ukraine being injected into a discussion about Syria, just because Russia is involved, least of all by yet another Putin-ophile.
To be totally honest, I’m weary to death of the whole conflict, for the reasons stated in my post to which you are responding.
There is no good third act to this endless bad movie. Whatever happens in Ukraine and western Russia is bound to suck.
It isn’t. It’s bad for Russia and Iran, but so far is unlikely to do anyone else any good, either.
I live here. Israel has to live with whatever happens there. At least the IDF has gotten rid of most of their toys, and thereby mitigated the harm they can do.
Christians are being beaten and driven into basements.
Sounds like a win for your crowd.
“Why the Fall of Syria Checkmates Russia & Iran”
Russia’s out of there, Iran has a problem, Christians still in Syria have a HUGE PROBLEM, and Israel may well wind up with someone far worse than Assad Jr.
True that. On the other hand, it would make an easier bombing run to Iran, if we want to bomb Iran. But I’d rather Trump do the maximum pressure thing until a popular uprising overthrows the Ayatollahs, and we all kiss and hug and throw away those nasty centrifuges and other enrichment gear, and turn the already enriched uranium into chocolate pudding and live happily ever after. But just in case, a refueling leg over Syria of the bombing run to Iran is a good option to have. And it would be nice to do something for the poor minorities of Syria and Iran, too.
“My crowd” is accustomed to fake accusations of this nature from dumb-a@@es. Have fun doing whatever it is you do with the lights off.
[...saudi-europe pipeline...]
Yes, that was about 1/4 of it. Iran losing it’s supply line to Hezbollah and air defenses in Syria which keep Isreal from getting to Iran is mentioned as well as Rusia losing it’s supply lines to Sub-Saharan Africa.
What a load of crap.
The coup was orchestrated by us. Lindsey Graham and John McCain went to Ukraine to fan the flames of the revolution. The Neocon Queen of Death went to Ukraine to hand cookies.
We exploited a divided country to install a government hostile to Moscow so our elite could suck money out of Ukraine.
Portraying as a way of Ukraine maintaining independence is lunacy when the ethnic and culturally Russian part of the country ended being persecuted and murdered by Ukrainian nationalists and NEO-NAZIS.
A sociopathic freak like you obsessed with Russia couldn't give hoot, however, about the human rights or those in Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk.
The annexed part of Ukraine voted for the President that was removed from office illegally and they HAD EVERY RIGHT to their independence and/or to join the Russian Federation.
I already said I don’t want this discussion. It is totally unrelated to this thread, which is about Syria. Russia was involved in Syria. It is also involved in Ukraine. They also make vodka and Katyusha dolls. And they do a very strenuous form of folk dance and like caviar. BFD. I’m just interested in Syria in this thread. That’s all anyone should be interested in in this thread. Go circle jerk around elsewhere with your fellow Putinistas about Russia and Ukraine. F@#$ off. Sorry you felt compelled to write all that, but I did not read it.
And, how many Christians are being slaughtered in Syria because we worked with Islamic jihadists to overthrow Assad?
