So, as I understood, Turkey and the gulf states were OK with the Julani comprador state if it meant stability in the region and kicking Iran out.

I can't imagine they are too happy at the destabilization taking place in Syria. Will they spring into action?

Well, the war is about an existential threat to Russia, so they will do the fighting whatever it takes.

It just seems that they have taken the best strategic route that has allowed them to minimize casualties while methodically disarming NATO as a whole and while also avoiding excessively fast escalation, which is a major consideration in this nuclear armed world, see Iran-Israel.

I think that it is thanks to the experience of the SMO that Iran decided to go the way of attrition in its own war against the Zionist entity. It has proven effective to today's war doctrine of the West.

What happened to the Assadist/Iran-aligned resistance?

Is there a ELI5 about the actors here? Who is bought by the US? By Turkey? By "Israel"?

As funny as it could be, the answer cant be all of them, someone is doing proxy imperialist war here.

Should Iran blow that ship up?

Dual-use items is the big thing there, it means a lot of construction material.

Unironically would like to know what the anti-Assad crew is saying now about HTS

I have been more disconnected from the Ukraine War besides noticing that Ukraine is still pretty much getting wrecked in an accelerated fashion but I have seen two things that are interesting:

1. Apparently the Russians are starting to probe and get beachheads in the Kharkov region, with little to no resistance.

2. The russians are advancing in Zhaporzhye, were it had been at a standstill for months.

So in summary, bad news for Ukraine and NATO continue.

Iranian sources are calling bullshit on this apparently

Apparently Milei banned the right to strike.

Argentina going down the gutter and the people taking it in the chin.

Accelerationists in shambles.

Finally can create an account to say:

FFS people Colombia didn't agree or surrender to Trump's terms on deportation. Petro wanted deportees to be treated humanly and not be chained like animals.

He got it. And didn't get any sanctions.

How is this a loss for Petro or Colombia? Or a win for Trump?
