The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss how the Islamic State has been rapidly losing territory over the last two years in Syria and Iraq, due to efforts by Russian and Syrian forces, as well as the US and their Kurdish allies.
The jihadist caliphate has lost most of its forces and resources, leading it to go into hiding.
(ANTIWAR.COM) — According to State Department officials, President Trump has recently abandoned his desire to “get out” of Syria and bring US troops home. He has signed a new strategy, which includes new military goals, and eliminates all timelines for removing troops from Syria. US troops are in several parts of Syria, mostly in the Kurdish-held northeast. An […]
(ANTIWAR.COM) — In comments on Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman declared that from the Israeli perspective, the war in Syria is over, and returning to a pre-war situation, with the Assad government remaining in power. This comes after the rebels in southern Syria had effectively lost all of their territory. It makes sense for Israel to view […]

Am I the only one who can’t quite work out what happened last weekend in Syria or what it’s all supposed to mean? That is, I can’t work out what the US-UK-France Triumvirate (the same Triumvirate that led the intervention against Gaddafi in Libya) was trying to do when it decided to carry out strikes […]

Arguably, Iraq and Libya saw international law already collapsing: but Syria is where even all pretense of international law died. It is where borders, sovereignty and the right to self-determination got tossed out the window. It is also […]
When it comes to Syria, you can set your watch for all the different acts in the stage-play that is the mass-media and international coverage.

I’ve been pondering this for some time; and have tried to somewhat lay out the subject as best as I can here in this article. This is something of a thought-experiment; trying to track the various strands of consequences from a single event, but moreover, trying to understand why that event has everything to do […]
