After 7 long years of waging an illegal and vicious proxy war against Syria, the Western and Gulf powers have lost military war, and also continue to lose control over the information war as well.

This week, the White House released a bizarre screed, apparently authored by US President Donald Trump entitled, “Statement from President Donald J. Trump on Standing with Saudi Arabia” (read his full statement below). As Trump statements go, this was one of the most incoherent proclamations made to date.
The last week has seen a new trend developing in northern Syria, whereby terrorist commando units are infiltrating deep into government-held Syrian territory in order to mount deadly raids taking out military positions and killing Syrian and allied personnel.
This development coincides with the recent announcement by al Nusra rebrand, Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) that it has now unified all militant groups in Idlib under one unified command and control structure.
It has long been suspected, that far from “fighting ISIS” as the US boldly claim at every turn, that Washington has been ‘managing’ the issue of ISIS in order to first help facilitate regime change in Syria (which has so far failed), and now as the justification for the illegal US occupation of northeastern Syria.
US-backed criminal gangs were terrorizing residents of Aleppo and Syria since 2012.
Washington’s ‘rebel’ darlings are running an organized crime syndicate based along the Turkish-Syria border.
