#Syria War

[thelostdreamsthings]

Under Erdogan, Turkey has become the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, a willing accomplice in advancing the U.S. Empire’s objectives in the region.

🇺🇦🇹🇷 They Kiev Post also admitted that Ukraine have trained Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Al-Nusra and many other terrorist fractions on Turkey's territory.

🇸🇾 To understand the Syrian conflict:

Russia and Iran are the only countries legally invited on request of the Syrian government for peace.

The others fund terrorists as a cover up to steal millions of barrels of oil daily.

Hundred of thousands of Gazans are dead and missing…

While Erdogan is still sending OIL TO ISRAEL!

Mapping control in Syria at this exact moment of disarray is unrealistic, and any attempts are likely misleading. But here's our new map showing the last day of resistance before Assad's govt collapsed.

Concise summary of events and detailed timeline included.

Wars of world 2024 reflection...

I know this post will be ignored, maybe reported or deleted... But seeing the barbarities around the world nowadays I need to put it somewhere every X time.... If I don't I couldn't sleep... And if just 1 person see this and help for something would be fine.. 😔

(Every picture will be more disturbing than the other one. ADVISE )

I see how people forgot the horrors of world war ... Forgot how unnecessary it was.

I see how half world is on war with their stupid politic/religious/economic reasons... Believing in presidents and ideologies ... Are of u are guilty.

I see how soldiers and armies are responsible of all the pain. Not powerful people, just soldiers. Just poors killing poors , and they look like proud and courageous men... I'm ashame of anyone who took a weapon for money. Of every soldier of every army of every country. Ashamed of my own specie.

I see how the big corps and powerful nations make business and preserve their fortunes with innocent blood just because all soldiers and war supports didn't took a history book and rode some pages.

How we repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat the same mistakes as the grandfather's of our grandfathers

I see how we are damned ... We aren't more than monkeys who learnt to talk... We don't know to boikot all this nightmare, to unite against who decide all this hell and we force to solve any problem with energy, territory or society instead to claim revenge and blood.

I see how media is convincing us that the war have a meaning...

I don't care if it's Israel, USA, Russia, Europe, Middle east, India... All of them are trash.

All of them who talk about revenge, hate, freedom at cost of war and dead, if one of these pieces of shit is reading this, please go out this blog.

I hope there's some kind of divine pain for all of you who put a meaning to wars... Stupids... Fanatics... Murderers... Demons.

Let people live in peace and explote yourselves with all your money.

Syrian rebels begin forming government as Israeli tanks approach Damascus

The armed Syrian opposition will instruct Mohammed al-Bashir to form a new Syrian government for a transitional phase, as the Israeli army continues its massive attack on Syria launched on Monday.

Syria’s rebels begin forming government

The armed Syrian opposition will instruct Mohammed al-Bashir to form a new Syrian government for a transitional phase.

According to the TV station’s correspondent, this was agreed at a meeting between the commander of the opposition’s operations department, Ahmed al-Shara, and al-Bashir and the prime minister of the former regime government, Mohammed al-Jalali.

They met to discuss the order of the transfer of power. According to Al Jazeera, al-Bashir will be appointed as the new prime minister of the Syrian government.

He served as minister of development and humanitarian affairs in the government to save the Idlib revolution in 2022, the TV channel specified.

Meanwhile, the streets of Damascus continue to be chaotic and gunfire can be heard.

Israel destroys military planes, air defence systems, weapons depots in Syria

The Israeli army has launched a massive attack on Syria since Monday. Israeli media reported that “army planes attacked more than 150 military targets in Syria as part of efforts to destroy the Syrian army.”

Among the dozens of Israeli targets in Syria are Syrian army tanks, aircraft and military helicopters.

The Israeli army has carried out the most powerful raids on Syria since the October 1973 war. Israeli jets also attacked the suburbs of Homs city and the southern village of Shinshar.

Israeli troops have now captured the entire former buffer zone of the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel since 1973, and have advanced deep into Syria, reaching settlements on the outskirts of Damascus.

According to local TV channels, Israeli tanks have advanced past the town of al-Quneitra (about 55 kilometres to Damascus) and continue moving towards the Syrian capital.

Local sources specified that the Israeli Armed Forces are now in the area of the town of Qatna, almost 20 kilometres from Damascus. Along the way, they captured several towns and villages, including Aarna, Bakasm, Reemeh, Hina, Qala, Jandal, al-Husseiniya, Jita and al-Hashab.

That Israeli troops occupied several villages and towns in the southern part of Damascus. According to Arab media reports, Israeli drones are continuously attacking the Syrian capital amid the offensive.

Syrian opposition flag raised at embassy in Brussels

The Syrian opposition’s revolutionary flag was raised on Monday at the Syrian embassy building in the Belgian capital Brussels in a historic moment marking the fall of the Assad regime in Syria.

Security around the building was tight, with Belgian police setting up iron barriers to secure the area during the crossing.

On Sunday, Syrians gathered in front of Brussels Central Station and in various neighbourhoods to mark the fall of the regime. The festive gatherings, filled with chanting and waving revolutionary flags, took place under the watchful eye of public security law enforcement.

On November 27, Syrian opposition forces launched a 10-day lightning offensive, capturing key cities and the capital Damascus on December 8. The swift offensive, backed by defecting military units, led to the fall of the Assad regime after 13 years of civil war. Assad and his family fled to Moscow, where Russia has granted them asylum.

Meanwhile, Greece’s former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis wrote on X:

“The duplicity of the Western media is breaking all records. When the jihadists entered Kabul, toppling the American regime, it was the end of the world. Now that jihadists have entered Damascus to topple a secular enemy of the West, it is a triumph of the human spirit.”

Syria is free 💚💚💚

If you have the slightest sense of humanity share!!!

The Syrian Liberation won!!

Bashar Al-Assad is gone, he buried them alive, the prisons are filled with innocent people and fighters who refused to destroy Syria over 53 years of torture, rape, murder and genocide.

However, Syria is still in big danger.

Back in 2011, there was a viral video of the tyrant army burying a Syrian man alive, they were telling him to call Bashar Al Assad a "God" but he refused until the sand covered his face alive, he kept screaming "No God but Allah" until his voice disappeared. It still makes my cry.

We call him "The Livant's Bilal", I will tell his story with the video in a seperat post (Tumblr allows one video per post)

When the free army broke into the prisons yesterday at 6 am, they found toddlers there. Toddlers that were born by the innocent young women that got assaulted, children were born there and never saw the light until yesterday 💔

This is Ahmed Al-Tatari, A Syrian young pilot that refused to strike Hama. So Hafez al-Assad concidered him a traitor to him and arrested him in 1981. Al-Tatari refused to betray his people, his toddler child and his family. Yesterday he was free, he lived to see Syria free!!

Despite thousands and thousands of innocent people getting freed, Al-Assad cruelty has no end, and so does Israel.

There are thousands of prisoners under the ground, they are called Red prisons. they see them in the camera but the doors to under the ground are secretive and they are searching for them before the under ground prisoners die from thrust and hunger. There are possible children there from women getting assaulted.

Israel is taking advantage of the conditions and is air striking Syria. Please spread the world to help get them help as fast as possible.

If anyone needs me to translate anything from Arabic to English or ask about anything then I am more than happy to help.

Allah-Akbar 💚

If Assad has fled to Russia, he can do cataract surgeries in Moscow.

Syrian war update

My idea about the Kurds moving in to connect their territory was right on the money. If Livemap is to be trusted, they've even expanded their control over parts of Aleppo, meaning the city is now divided three ways between the government, the jihadis, and the Kurds. But things are rapidly shifting, and the current front lines are going to be changing alot over the next day or two. The Turks have airstruck a couple SDF positions, but they've been doing that every few days for awhile now.

The SNA is now moving to take more territory, though it's small potatoes compared to what the jihadis have grabbed. Between them and the Kurds, it's looking like Aleppo might be completely out of the government's hands in the next day or two.

Assad himself went to Moscow yesterday. I can't determine whether this was for a pre-planned talk or if it was in response to the start of the rebel offensive, but he's yet to return to Syria and alot of people on social media are taking it as him having fled the country. I wouldn't be nearly that optimistic, if you could call a country falling to jihadis optimism. The government's forces may be falling apart, but the jihadis and Kurds combined(and believe me they'll definitely be fighting each other as well) just don't have the numbers to just immediately charge south towards Damascus. That's over 220 miles, or over 350 kilometers, from Aleppo, and they'd definitely be meeting stiffer resistance from the government and allied militias. That said, with Russia needing to focus on Ukraine and Iran unable to stop its obsession with Israel leading it to keep focus on Gaza, Hezbollah and the Houthis, Assad's two main supporters aren't going to be giving him their full attention, so the rebels could make some inroads if they wanted to. I'm going to bed soon, so this is probably gonna be the last update for a good long while. Please pray for the civilians caught up in all this, and that there can be some kind of resolution where neither the autocrat nor the jihadists win.

Ten years ago on this day June 10 2014, tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers, police and officers fled, leaving their weapons, ammunition, armored vehicles, headquarters and positions behind. We had to cross the border and take control of those areas to prevent ISIS from entering.

On yıl önceki bu gün 10 Haziran 2014'te on binlerce Iraklı asker, polis ve subay silahlarını, mühimmatlarını, zırhlı araçlarını, karargahlarını ve mevzilerini geride bırakarak kaçtı. IŞİD'in girmesini engellemek için sınırı geçmek ve bu bölgeleri kontrol altına almak zorundaydık.

10年前のこの日、2014年6月10日-何万人ものイラクの兵士-警察-将校が、武器-弾薬-装甲車-司令部-陣地を残して遁走した。

我々は国境を越え、ISの侵入を防ぐためにそれらの地域を制圧しなければならなかった。

France: A Partner In Terrorism

Lafarge Admits Funding ISIS In Syria

French company admits it gave financial support to ISIS, agrees to pay over $700 million in fines.

Washington — French cement company Lafarge has pleaded guilty to one count of providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations, admitting in court papers on Tuesday that it paid individuals designated by the U.S. as terrorists in Syria to secure the continued operation and protection of a cement plant from 2013 to 2014.

The company has agreed to pay $778 million in fines and forfeiture as part of the plea deal. 

Beginning in 2010, Lafarge operated the Jalabiyeh Cement Plant in the Jalabiyeh region of Northern Syria. According to the statement of offense, the company admitted that after civil war broke out in the country in 2011, executives and intermediaries devised a scheme to pay members of the the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and al-Nusrah Front (ANF) to secure the safe operation of the plant and generate profit. 

The payments took many forms, the Justice Department said, including "a revenue-sharing agreement" between ISIS and the company that Lafarge executives likened to paying  "taxes" to ISIS. The more cement the plant sold to its customers, the more money Lafarge would pay ISIS. 

The payments enabled Lafarge's Syrian subsidiary to get its employees and suppliers through ISIS and ANF checkpoints on the roads to the plant and block competitors from Turkey.

These funds — which secured both raw materials for production and protection for employees — violated federal law, the Justice Department said, and Lafarge was aware of their illegality. Their actions enabled the company to bring in approximately $70.3 million in revenue. 

"In its pursuit of profits, Lafarge and its top executives not only broke the law — they helped finance a violent reign of terror that ISIS and al-Nusrah imposed on the people of Syria," Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said Tuesday when the plea agreement was announced, "We expect far more from companies, particularly those that operate in high-risk environments.   

Monaco added that, as public reports indicate, French authorities have already arrested executives implicated in the scheme.  

"Lafarge and its leadership had every reason to know exactly with whom they were dealing — and they didn't flinch. Instead, Lafarge forged ahead, working with ISIS to keep operations open, undercut competitors, and maximize revenue. And all the while, through their support and funding, Lafarge enabled the operations of a brutal terrorist organization," Monaco said.

Court documents also detailed numerous communications between Lafarge executives and unnamed intermediaries who acted as middlemen between the French company and the terrorists. The company admitted to paying these individuals $1,113,324 for their cooperation and covert assistance. 

On August 20, 2013, a company executives wrote in an email, "It is clear that we have an issue with ISIS and Al Nusra and we have asked our partner [Intermediary 1] to work on it," according to court documents. And in another email described in the plea papers, an intermediary wrote to a Lafarge executive that he "officially" represented ISIS "for investments." 

"The defendants negotiated and made unlawful payments at a time when these groups were gaining territory and brutalizing innocent civilians in Syria and elsewhere and were actively plotting against Americans," said Matt Olsen, head of the Justice Department's National Security Division, "There is no justification – none – for a multi-national corporation authorizing payments to a designated terrorist group." 

Lafarge's actions at issue were the subject of an independent review within the company that yielded a report and corrective measures. 

According to the Holcim Group, the Swiss multinational company that acquired Lafarge in July 2015 , "None of the conduct involved Lafarge operations or employees in the United States and none of the executives who were involved in the conduct are with Lafarge or any affiliated entities today," noting none of the employees targeted in the federal probe were found to have shared any of terrorist organizations' ideologies. 

In a written statement following Tuesday's resolution, Lafarge said, "[We] have accepted responsibility for the actions of the individual executives involved, whose behavior was in flagrant violation of Lafarge's Code of Conduct. We deeply regret that this conduct occurred and have worked with the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve this matter."

Lavrov’s interview with Carlson: On resolving Ukrainian conflict, relations with US and Syria

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov answered questions on Friday from American journalist Tucker Carlson, who travelled to Moscow for this interview.

Russian-American relations

Speaking on the Russian-American relations issue, Lavrov said that Moscow would like to have normal relations with Washington, but the US is waging a hybrid war against Russia in Ukraine. He noted that the Ukrainians could not do what they are doing with modern long-range weapons without Washington’s direct involvement.

At the same time, strikes are being carried out on Russian territories with US ATACMS missiles and other weapons, Lavrov pointed out.

Answering the question about what Moscow wanted to say with the test of the Oreshnik missile system, which was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on November 21, Lavrov said that Russia is ready to respond by all means to the West’s attempts to inflict a strategic defeat on it.

The diplomat stressed that the US and its allies supplying long-range weapons to Kyiv should understand that Russia will be ready to use any means. He noted that this step was taken in response to the escalation by Western countries in Ukraine and expressed hope that this signal would be taken seriously.

Lavrov also pointed out that while representatives of the West are fighting to preserve their hegemony around the world, Russia is fighting for its legitimate security interests.

Ukrainian conflict issue

Speaking about the possibility of settling the Ukrainian conflict, the diplomat said that Russia has no intention to destroy the Ukrainian people, as Ukrainians are “brothers and sisters” for Russians.

Lavrov recalled that it was not Russia that started the Ukrainian conflict, but as soon as the coup d’état took place in Ukraine, the US did not even hide its participation in it.

The minister pointed out that the solution to the Ukrainian crisis did not depend only on Moscow and Washington, as some politicians believe. Stressing that this does not correspond to reality, Lavrov said:

“Europeans are whispering to each other, saying that it is not for Volodymyr Zelensky to dictate the terms of negotiations, this is the domain of the US and Russia.”

He recalled that Russia adheres to the principles enshrined in the UN Charter, which speaks about the sovereign equality of states.

Continuing the discussion, the minister said Moscow was ready to negotiate on the basis of the agreements reached in Istanbul in spring 2022, naming Ukraine’s non-aligned status as one of the key principles.

On US President-elect Donald Trump

The minister characterised US President-elect Donald Trump as “a strong man who does not like to postpone things for later.”

In addition, Lavrov noted Trump’s friendliness in conversation. But, according to him, this does not mean that he is pro-Russian, recalling the number of anti-Russian sanctions imposed during his first presidency.

The diplomat also added that Russia has withstood the sanctions imposed by the West, becoming stronger, and continues to develop co-operation with friendly countries.

On the situation in Syria

Commenting on the situation with the activation of militants in Syria, Lavrov noted that the Americans “feed” Kurdish separatists in the east of the country with the funds received from the sale of oil and grain.

The diplomat said that in the near future Russia intends to discuss with Turkey and Iran how to block the channels of arms and financing of Islamist groups in Syria.

He added that another meeting in the Astana format is planned before the end of this year or in the new year to resolve the situation. Such meetings, as the minister pointed out, are held on a regular basis.

Earlier, on February 9, Carlson interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin.
