Where they? Or was it a mutually advantageous anti-Bashar anti-Hezbollah anti-Iran & its proxies sorta thing?

What’s happening in Syria: Sunni jihadists, successors of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, with support from Türkiye, Ukraine, and Israel, are advancing on Bashar al-Assad, who is backed by Russia, Hezbollah, and Iran.
This is weakening the control of the Shiite-Russian axis of evil.

Naturally, Israel is “not involved,” but Syrian rebels “coincidentally” launched their attack two hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech that called for a temporary ceasefire in Lebanon and his comments that “Syria is playing with fire,” as it helps Hezbollah with arms shipments via Iran.

Weird that, eh? So it’s Ukraine, Israel, & Turkey vs Iran, Russia, & Bashar.

(The Kurds are a different fight seeing as they’re persecuted by Iran, & Turkey, & Iraq, & Syria…so those that’re against the Kurds are contributing to their genocide, but that’s a different story)

The Kurds are everybody's enemy. And that's how they like it.

The order goes Turks, Ukes then the Israelis who bombed airports and ports then took up 12 bases to occupy Syria. That has them in deep shit with the Turks and Americans. Israel and Turkey will be going at it soon enough.

The call with Zelenskyy comes as Washington has halted its latest shipment of military aid to Ukraine including Patriot air defense missiles and other crucial munitions meant to support the country’s defenses, and hours after Russia launched a devastating air attack on Kyiv using a record number of drones and ballistic missiles.

Zelenskyy called the conversation “important and useful” and said in a post said that he and Trump had discussed Ukraine’s air defense capabilities, joint defense production and “mutual purchases and investments”, all potentially avenues for Ukraine to restart aid from the United States by providing incentives for the Trump administration to rush crucial munitions to Kyiv.
He said that the two sides had also agreed to “increase aerial protection”, a particular focus for Kyiv as Russia has increased bombardments of Ukrainian cities despite outrage from Trump and other world leaders.

Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry summoned the top official at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv and said afterward that “any delay or slowing down in supporting Ukraine’s defense capabilities would only encourage the aggressor to continue war and terror, rather than seek peace.”

Yet it was not immediately clear if Zelenskyy had achieved any concrete progress with Trump and in his statement he did not mention the halt of aid shipments from the US or announce their resumption. Axios reported that a source described the call as a “good conversation”.

(“I’m very disappointed with the conversation I had today with President Putin, because I don’t think he’s there,” Trump told reporters after holding a rally in Iowa on Thursday evening. “I don’t think he’s there, and I’m very disappointed. I’m just saying, I don’t think he’s looking to stop, and that’s too bad.”)

The missile shortage is all on Israel being morons. Trump didn't want them to attack Iran.

Pakistan is next.

I thought Turkey/Israel (over Syria) was next, or China/Taiwan (& then the Philippines) was next, etc….?
Israel is its own worst enemy at this point in the game they can't make those moves any longer without Iran unloading and getting another 300 on target strikes on Israeli cities and infrastructure.

Turks can wait until there is a regime change or even civil war in Israel.

They set out after Pakistan once already before but India backed out of support which Israel needed.

Is "preemptive strike" the new term for declaring war? That is what it will amount to if Russia drops any bombs on a NATO country.

Is "preemptive strike" the new term for declaring war? That is what it will amount to if Russia drops any bombs on a NATO country.
The U.S.-led NATO military alliance casts Russia as a major threat and politicians across Western Europe have said that Russia, which in 2022 sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine, could one day attack a member of NATO.

Medvedev dismissed claims that Russia could one day attack NATO or Europe as complete rubbish, noting that President Vladimir Putin had repeatedly rejected such assertions too.

"The statements of Western politicians on this topic are complete nonsense. I would add that this nonsense is being deliberately thrown into the information space in order to destabilise an already difficult situation. This is another flank of the West's open war against us," he said?

Who attacked whom in 2022? I’m sure this can be justified in an “This didn’t start in 2022 but in 2014 or 1944 or 1742 or whatever” sort’a logic…but it doesn’t change what’s happening today.

Russia and the United States are by far the world's biggest nuclear powers, with about 87% of all nuclear weapons, followed by China, France, Britain, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea, according to the Federation of American Scientists.
