Dating on this posting is ... non-existent at the site posted. It could not have been “last month” with Pompeo as head of CIA, certainly. Pompeo was head of clowns in action January 2017 to April 2018-— long enough to clean out all the hitlery crapola and move on to State Dept.
What is said is true— we dropped the idiotic “moderate rebels of Syria” scam and eliminated ISIS in the process (oh, sorry ISIL... L for Levant the favorite way obamaumao named them- Levant being.. Turkey and Erdogan’s anti-Saud Caliphate that will never happen). Got out of this and defeated them, and russians stymied by it all even with Bashir Assad. Game. set. match.
Now the idiot JoeBama continues tries to revive the idiotic money pot for the clowns in action brennan (part II). Not gonna work- thanks to the Abraham Accords. They have lost any chance of keeping this up in syria. And any more gunrunning to/through the Turks.
“What is said is true”
Yeah, was impressed by the article (Brennan gets a fair mention too!) despite the source’s weak credentials.
The source is Syria-friendly but not crazily so.
Gotta take ME info where one finds it...
Well stated. The American people have zero interest in this CIA/DOD/Neocon adventure on behalf of the Saudis. They literally created ISIS. And it’s idiotic to pretend the rebels, ISIS, FSA, AL Nusra etc are not all the same. The personnel and weapons flow back and forth between them as they need.
Syria is where the USA literally switched sides in the war on terror. And that depraved act created a great excuse for Iran to flood in to help Assad. So there we were, with our F-16s flying along scowling at Russian bombers dropping bombs on the people blowing up Palmyra. We might as well paint an ISIS flag on the tailfin.
It says: “smmsyria / 6 days ago”
Article below it says:
“February 25, 2021 in Hasakah.”
Others below say 2019 and 2020
I don’t recognize the source.
Found this with same title:
