Why did Assad fall? Because his Iranian support system was totally eviscerated by Israel, and because Russia was crippled by the war in Ukraine. Two things can be true at once: Assad was awful and evil and deserved to go, and also what comes next could be horrible. Here’s... show more

Russia isn’t crippled. They’re currently defeating the entire western world you dumb rat.

It’s a complex situation. While Assad’s regime was brutal, the instability created by foreign interventions often leads to worse outcomes. The power vacuum left by weakened allies like Iran and Russia could lead to even more chaos in Syria. Both sides have their flaws, and the aftermath is unpredictable.

"Ukraine was among the first to support a new #Syria after the fall of the Assad regime". The first protest held in 2025 by returning residents of Maaret Numan - a war-torn town depopulated by Assad and Russia - expressed support for Ukraine, denouncing Russian war crimes in both places.

In 2012, when Hillary Clinton and our state department was lying to our faces about what Assad was doing and why, Putin and Russia were backing Assad. Saying that if Assad fell, Syria could fall into a perpetual civil war, and that they didn’t believe the reports of Assad using “chemical weapons.” Fast forward to now where Syria is a mess and the only country that benefited from Assads fall was Israel. Now it’s easy to see why the jews in our government wanted to get rid of Putin. 🧵 10/18

This is the Yarmouk Palestinian camp in Damascus. It was destroyed by Bashar al-Assad, Russia, and Iran. It was destroyed by those who claim today to be concerned for the Palestinian people in Gaza. It was destroyed by the criminals, by those who claim to resist Israel : #Assad #iran #russia

Part of what I mean, this was Gerans targeting and destroying part of a UKR fuel depot in Zapo. Again, if UKRAINE can replace these and not be crippled by such strikes, Russia will not be. Keep perspective and stop getting too distracted by shiny things.

Today I visited Yarmouk camp, which was once the largest Palestinian community outside Palestine. I once lived here, and these streets were full of people. The Assad regime did this. Remember this the next time you hear that the fall of the Assad regime was bad for Palestinians.

HODGES: What was once a strength for Russia – its vastness, the size of the country – against all of the attackers in Russia's history, they could always just kind of withdraw and invaders would be swallowed up by the landmass. Now, because of what Ukraine has done, its ability to reach so far with precision, what once was a strength for Russia is now a vulnerability because their air defenses just cannot protect everything. And Ukraine is making them pay.

In the end, I just want to say that Bashar al-Assad was a monster. He was a doctor, and doctors are meant to be saviors, people with kind souls who are chosen to heal and protect. But Assad turned out to be the biggest disappointment. What he did to his own people was not just cruel, it was inhuman. You don’t treat enemies the way he treated his own nation, the very people he was supposed to protect. May Allah’s wrath be upon you, Assad. It will take months, if not longer, to forget what I have witnessed in the past two days. The atrocities committed under his rule are unimaginable. May Allah protect the Syrians and grant them peace in the aftermath of such devastation. Thank you for reading.Allah Hafiz . 🌻 30/ #Syria #Syrien #Assad #Israel #ไรเดอร์

For those wondering why Lindsey Graham is so invested in Ukraine winning and Russians dying: Lindsey Graham was with Deep State McCain in Ukraine in 2016, telling the Ukrainians how they are going to get support from Washington so they can go on the “offensive” against Russia in 2017. Only problem was, Trump won, and the Deep State plan was suspended until Trump was removed. The reason Lindsey has called for Putin to be assassinated and celebrates Russians dying, is because if Russia wins, Lindsey’s corruption in Ukraine will be exposed, and then he’s a dead man.

Turkish accounts of what happened in Doha was that they threatened Russia and Iran not to save Syria. This contradicts Iran’s claim that Assad refused to ask for help Hakan Fidan: Turkey convinced Russia and Iran not to provide military support to Assad. Our meetings in Ankara and Doha were devoted to this issue. Negotiations were held, and that night he received a phone call, after which Assad left. If the Syrian regime had received support, things could have ended very bloodily. The Russians and Iranians realized that continuing this no longer made sense.

🇮🇹 Giorgia Meloni in 2018: "If it's still possible to defend the Christian community in Syria, it's also thanks to this front," referring to Assad, Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah. "The terrorism in our home is inspired by and financed by ISIS." She understood who was actually fighting ISIS and protecting Christians. Today she sends warships and missile defense systems to support the US-Israel war on Iran while pretending Italy "is not taking part." Two-thirds of Italians oppose the war. She doesn't care.

#FactCheckSyria Hadi is NOT a journalist and he is not credible, he is a disgusting propagandist for the defunct Assad regime. He was even invited to Syria by the Assad regime to do propaganda for it. He made tweets mocking hospitals being bombed in Aleppo. Also in 2016, when Aleppo was being starved and carpet bombed by Assad he went to a university demonstration full of Syrians protesting against this and held up a picture of Assad to terrorize the Syrian students.

An interview with אדי כהן Edy Cohen Since 2011, many Syrians appealed to Israelis including Edy Cohen who has a big presence on social media and speaks fluent Arabic, imploring him to urge Israel to help rid them of Assad. Since Assad was overthrown, Edy was vocal and called out the massacres committed against the Alawites and the Druze. Many Syrians turned against him. However, Edy remained true to his position: the same way he condemned what Assad did to his people, he refuses to turn the blind eye to what the new leadership committed or allowed in the past five months. Edy told me that Syria deserves better than Assad and Aljulani, and I totally agree with him and appreciate his moral clarity. #Israel #syria #الجولاني #سوريا_الجديدة #أحمد_الشرع
