Why does the CIA care about Syria so much you ask?

Well right before the CIA and ‘moderate jihadists’ began the dirty war in Syria to oust Assad, he cancelled the US-backed Qatar pipeline project

Once again, maps cut through the rhetoric

By Dmitry Medvedev

Three events in Europe at the very beginning of winter

1. Well, the British have finally admitted that Zelensky's popularity has fallen sharply, and the majority of Ukrainians want him out. This is what The Times wrote. Only 16% of Ukrainians would vote for him in the elections, and 60% of those polled do not want him to run again at all. This means that the regime will continue to insist on a total war to the last Ukrainian and drag out the elections as much as possible. Because this is the only way to preserve the power of an illegitimate drug addict. So the Trump administration will not have easy negotiations on this topic with the Bandera regime. Stopping the war is tantamount to death for the Zelenskys. This is the end of their bloody power.

2. The new head of the European Council, Antonio Costa, and the Estonian Russophobe, who earlier made money in Russia with her husband and is now the EU's "chief diplomat", Kaja Kallas, arrived in Kiev on their first day of work. This means one thing: for them, the most important thing is not the prosperity of the EU countries, nor the development of the economy, nor the solution of social problems. The most important thing is the continuation of the war to the last Ukrainian. Rejoice, Europeans: a good choice, the right defenders of democracy!

3. In Georgia, there is an attempt at another "color ("rose," "orange," etc.) revolution." Some people are screaming in the streets, smashing and setting everything on fire. The other part is silent. The expired "president" of Georgia, the diligent French student of Zbigniew Brzezinski, crazy Aunt Salome, has babbled that she will not vacate her seat because she does not recognize the elections. For such things, they used to hang people on lampposts. Now is a humane time. It will pass. In general, all the prerequisites are present for once again plunging Georgia into the abyss of civil conflicts, once again forcing it to choose between the insolent EU, NATO, and Pindostan (USA), on the one hand, and the ancient land of Sakartvelo, on the other. In short, the neighbors are quickly moving along the Ukrainian path into the dark abyss. Usually, this ends very badly.

🇷🇺❌🇺🇸🚂💥 Train of Futility: ATACMS and Storm Shadows Go Up in Smoke Near Chernomorsk

A train loaded with U.S.-supplied ATACMS and UK Storm Shadow missiles, reportedly arrived from Romania, was attacked near the port of Chernomorsk in Ukraine, according to a report via RIA Novosti from the pro-Russian underground. Another "game-changing" delivery reduced to smoldering debris, given depleted western stocks that had to hurt. Oof!

The West’s Military-Industrial Mirage
The U.S. and NATO's military-industrial complex, bloated and overhyped, now finds itself in an existential crisis. Decades of profiteering and inflated defense contracts have created a system more skilled at enriching defense contractors than producing battlefield-ready weaponry... In sufficient quantities. Meanwhile, Russia’s military-industrial complex has been running circles around the West, churning out high-quality weapons systems at a pace the entire collective West cannot match.

Ukraine may be the battlefield, but the stakes are global. Each destroyed shipment of ATACMS and Storm Shadows doesn’t just demilitarize Kiev, it also chips away at the West’s stockpiles, forcing them to cannibalize their own arsenals. And for what? To feed a proxy war they have already lost, waged against a Russia whose industrial might and strategic focus expose NATO’s bluster as just that, protection racket bluff.

As the Global Majority watches the collective West bleed itself dry, there’s a growing sentiment of gratitude to Russia. The "arsenal of democracy" has become the arsenal of hubris, systematically dismantled by a nation that refused to bow to imperial coercion. Thank you, Russia, for showing the world that the emperor truly has no clothes.
