no the corruption charges are still there, he's testifying in court this month

I love how the Arabs can't imagine the Israeli government being a functioning one. They insist that Israel must be as shitty as their governments. Israeli politics are many things but it is not similar to the Arabs.

It will be interesting to see how much of Syria Israel now takes as a new buffer zone.
How about a long strip next to Jordan over to Dier achieving Sea to River? Reason? Stopping any Iranian resupply to Hezbollah. We will see if the Iranians will cuck out after that.

Besides the stated goals I think Israel might be taking more territory for if there is a peace agreement.

Muslims, and sunni in particular, are geopolitical golems.

Any idea on what will happen to the russian bases?

For old times sake

The trial is in its fifth year and will never conclude in a way that is bad for him so long as he remains PM. He will remain PM so long as he stays on this ridiculous winning streak

What does not just this here but the last year or so do to ccp short-to-medium term planning? Their two most powerful and competent allies have been weakened and exposed. And they don't have too much longer to play a major power before the wheels come off, and they know it. Do they begin scaling back goals or going even more aggressive, belligerent and desperate?

They're too focused on Myanmar rn I think. The Belt and Road won't finish itself.

He had a shitload of problems with his neighbours and Western countries way before that and he didn't have the leverage to pull off "the end of petrodollar". Wishful conspiracy thinking.

Yep. The people of Chad had no love for him and his interventions in their long-ass civil war in the 1980's wound up seeing them unify against him and in favor of their French totally-not-overlords. How the fuck do you make yourself the worse option compared to the French?

Seems to me the only way for the ME to ever be peaceful is if Israel just mows down the entire region and occupies it themselves.

I give it a week before the Jews decide to kick off a civil war.

The US is declining, its share of world GDP continues to drop, and the country is basically a drunk elephant falling down a mountain. The rub is its enemies are just weaker and even more incompetent. Which means American hegemony will continue for a long time yet-even if the fundamentals are failing. The US is simply strong enough it can outlast its rivals. At least in the early 21st century. In fifty or a hundred years the piper’s debt will be due.

I can't wait for the Russians to unveil the TugMaster 5000, the latest and greatest in mobile maneuvering aids for when the Admiral Kuznetsov inevitably breaks down in the middle of the ocean and finds itself at the mercy of wind and weather. Or there's a smoking accident in the engine room.

I'm kind of surprised by this. I assumed King Monke would do everything in his power to get every mobik out so they could join the meat waves in Ukraine.

Not when it would cost more to pull them out. The Motherland appreciates their heroic sacrifice, bravely giving their lives to avoid risking any potential rescuers needed more in their special military operation against the neo-Banderist regime of the breakaway Russian oblasts of the so-called Ukraine.

If he allows the building of the third temple he will be up there with David.

Its crazy how for most Christians, the third temple is a sign on the coming Antichrist but for you people its a sign of the messiah.

And people wonder why we don't get along.

The bugs better know their place

How many Americans are worried that our country is somehow going to be involved with the freedom fighters to stop any form of Assad’s legacy?

 

[draggs]

But what happens after the Anti-Christ appears?

but for you people its a sign of the messiah.

The coming of the Anti-Christ is quite literally a sign of the return of the Messiah lol

And people wonder why we don't get along.

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you on current Christian-Joo relations

A bit off topic here but those charges make me MATI, either finish your damn court case in a year or remove the charges. Multiyear court sagas are just a way to fuck with people who can't be found guilty ordinarily.

Because that 'military of 300k' was fake, guarantee that half of those soldiers existed only on paper.

Army Detachment al'Steineralakwi will cut the SAA off.

For evangelicals, building the Third Temple means it makes Jesus come back faster. That's why there are groups of them doing ridiculous things like trying to breed red heifers as if they're casting a spell.

Besides, Julian already started rebuilding the Third Temple over 1,600 years ago. He died and pretty much everybody sort of stopped giving a shit and stopped work on it after that. It got destroyed in an earthquake a couple decades later, which again nobody cared about and just looted it for building materials. No one else bothered trying again for the next sixteen centuries.

Yea because yalls "messiah" and our Antichrist will be the same person.

Tass is confirming again that the opposition is letting the Russians stay.

https://tass.com/world/1884227

TASS has summaries what is known about this to this hour.

According to the source in the Kremlin, Assad and his family have arrived in Moscow. Being guided by humanitarian considerations, Russia has granted asylum for them.

"Russia has always spoken in favor of a political settlement of the Syrian crisis. We insist that the UN-mediated talks be resumed," the source said.
"Russian officials are in touch with representatives of armed Syrian opposition, whose leaders have guaranteed security of Russian military bases and diplomatic missions on the Syrian territory," the source added.

Are the Turks, Jews too intimidated to tell the Russians to fuck off or the HTS members don't want to relive the trauma they had 10 years ago which looked like Wagner did 95-99% of the job in comparison to how fast the SAA folded in this civil war?

Tartus naval base has been emptied of vessels, according to Wikipedia, on 3rd Dec:


On the morning of 3 December 2024, analysts such as Droxford Maritime[20] saw that a tanker and some warships were leaving Tartus. By the evening, image analysts such as M T Anderson[21] had confirmed the base was now empty. Two Admiral Gorshkov-class frigates, one Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate, one Improved Kilo-class submarine and two auxiliary ships, one of which being the tanker Yelna, had all departed and sailed into the Mediterranean

apparently Russia maybe has an agreement with Libya to set up an alternative med naval base….

So this is basically the last domino of Obama's mideast foreign policy that could fall, right? We know he wanted every country from Morocco to Iran to collapse into localized radical islamic caliphates and he put that in motion...so I guess this is the last little bit of that bearing fruit.
