This photo is not recent. This photo is from years ago with Assad visiting I think a hospital, there is a video published showing this.

Are they right? Yes.

Ironically, it was Modi who pushed India closer to the US! Many of us pointed out that China poses less of a threat to India long-term than the US, because American companies are knee-deep into India and many Indian elites are compromised assets of the US state dept. China doesn't have anything close to that influence in India. But Indian elites are obsessing over China for irrational reasons.

If India continues to rise, their honeymoon with the West will come to an end unless they accept permanent subjugation.

But there are three key problems India must grapple with:

1. They are not indispensable to the world economy like China is. India is actually pretty easy to bully and sanction.
2. They are very reliant on Western technology. When Denmark held up exports of a single part to an engine, their entire Tejas programme came to a screeching halt.
3. Their entire economic model is built on cheap IT services to the West. And they are much more reliant on remittances from the West than China is.

All these taken together means that the West has the "escalatory dominance" with India in a way that they don't with China. And would China really bail India out given India's long history of backstabbing China?

I have been saying bad stuff about the Middle East states lately. But it took over 10 years and two wars for Syria to be finally overthrown.

How long did it take for Bangladesh to get regime changed? Most people outside south Asia didn't even really know it happened or cared because it just happened so easily and India's puppet is gone.

Bangladesh made me realize that if the west wanted to, it could make India kneel really fast without even lifting a finger. Very easily.

Well, congrats to Turkey as the gambit seems to have paid off. This would be like what, their 2 or 3 ethnic cleansing/genocide they have either participated in in less than 150 years?.

One thing is for sure, their NATO membership is not misplaced, they are as perfidous as the rest of them even when they don't consider them white enough

Syrian Kurds make up 19% of the population in the areas that SDF/YPG occupies, wtf are you talking about?

Moreover, it was them who did ethnic cleansing since they drove off native people away from their lands and stole their properties.



YPG/SDF does not represent Syrian Kurds, Syrian Kurdish National Council (KNC) does. The fact that you are supporting a CIA-CENTCOM supported occupation force in Syria shows just how much you don't know about the region.

There are dozens of recent videos like these, where SDF is opening fire on revolting local Arab population:





This is a simple matter of demographics. You can't continue your brutal oppression forever if you don't have local support, and Syrians are not tolerating them any longer like they used to since the Syrian Regime does not exist anymore.

Oh by the way, I am a Turkish Kurd myself; so don't even think you know more about this kind of stuff than me.

But I do understand your butthurt...

So it seems that upon Syrian return to Arab League, Bashar al Assad decided to sideline his traditional allies in favour of Gulf monarchies and he paid the price ...

Informative thread:

After watching the "Red Wedding" of the Axis of Resistance in Syria. My skepticism of the so-called Muslim World has been justified. There is still a majority of decent people in the Muslim world. But right now, there is a massive, massive chunk in the Muslim world who had readily went along with the Takfiri takeover of Syria. The "Arab Spring" still works in 2024. One day they hate Israel, the next day they want Shia blood even more than Zionist blood. This is a Masterclass in psyops by the Muslim Brotherhood led by Erdogan and Qatar.

Some people still dare to say that China could trust Erdogan, because he is friendly to China. Well Erdogan was once a close friend of Assad and was also very close to the Axis of Resistance. He still stabbed them in the back. If Erdogan decides to wave the ETIM flag once again, I expect the hordes of extremists around the world to gladly go along with it. China can prevent the resurgence of terrorism within its own borders. But the new threat of ETIM lies outside of China's borders. They can and have committing terrorism against the Chinese overseas. Especially in countries with weaker counter-terrorism capabilities. With the CIA and other hostile intelligence behind them, we cannot underestimate the threat that ETIM can pose to China's BRI projects, and the safety of Chinese overseas. It doesn't only have to be ETIM targeting the Chinese, it could be them and any other alphabet soup Takfiri terrorist group. Trump is returning, and China is stronger than when he left office. He will want more weapons to sabotage China's rise, and Erdogan's victory in Syria will give him just that. Trump 1.0 created the "Uighur Genocide" myth to impose sanctions and tariffs. So Trump 2.0 could start to escalate that into sending terrorism onto China.
