No, Assad Didn’t “Win” The War, He Was Compelled By Putin To “Compromise”
It’s misleading to assert that Assad “won” the war even though he still remains in office as the country’s democratically elected and legitimate leader since Putin compelled him to “compromise” on several important issues after the Liberation of Aleppo and accept a political reality completely at odds with what one […]
“Putinyahu’s Rusrael”
President Putin and “Israeli” Prime Minister Netanyahu are brothers-in-arms after the former helped the latter win his historic reelection with a last-minute photo-op stunt that ultimately proved pivotal to his victory, and with Russia and “Israel” now proceeding along the path of “two states, one nation” after their close and […]
Mideast Activists Need To Stop Their Double Standards Towards Russia!

It’s Time To Talk About The S-300s, “Status Symbols”, And The “Savior Complex”
Russia’s dispatch of S-300s to Syria was meant to distract from last September’s tragedy and wasn’t intended to be a “game-changing” military development by any means, but the systems have since taken on a cult-like following all across Alt-Media because there are plenty of people afflicted with a “savior complex” […]
Pentagon Issues Mindbogglingly Bizarre Statement on YPG/PKK

The UN has made its position clear that the American decision to recognise the occupied Golan Heights as part of Israel rather than an occupied Syrian territory has no standing in international law. That being said, because of the power of the United States, the decision has nevertheless dealt a […]
