Assad is a goner. He had many opportunities to work out peaceful solutions with the rebels. He blew them up. Lesson for other war mongers who don't understand that nobody can predict the direction of wars if started.

Hey! When are we going to blame the Jews for buying Syria? 😭😂

W#** literally bought Syria, paid off Islamic terrorist groups to murder themselves and overrun another Islamic dictator. Correct?😂



Assad messed up supporting Hamas and Hezbollah. I can remember when isreal told him he will be toppled if he interfares in Isreali war against Hamas and Hezbollah 💯

Who do you think the rebels are sponsored by
Same thing that they did to sponsor rebels in Libya
They usually cause chaos in your country if they can’t control you

See as your Putin and his coward army chicken out and left Assad at the mercy of the rebel.

You said the West have no power but they have through Turkey changed the game to clip the uneccessary grown wings of Putin. Pls tell your Putin to send his Aba made unclear shit to Syria to kill the rebel.

Russia will never be a reliable partner when it comes to security..

A supposedly world power, watched and did nothing as its ally was overwhelmed by rebels. Now they have lost their only military presence in the middle-east.

Can't imagine this happening to Israel.

We just witnessed the last 13 years of the Syrian war unfold in 6 days.

No way an area the size or an entire country and an entire army of thousands collapses in 6 days.

Syria has already been bought and paid for.

The Russia vs Ukraine war led to the collapse of Syrian Army. If Russia is not tied up in Ukraine, they would have helped to save Assad. Iran also showed serious weakness in all of these. It’s obvious they can’t protect their allies in the Middle East.

As it stands, the Middle East just got messier. Syria will end up like or worse than Libya. All the groups that came together to fight Assad will control different territories. Even ISIL will have a share. It will be very bad.

The biggest loser in all of these is Iran. With Assad out, Israel can easily deal with Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi rebels.

The rebels are sponsored by you know who
The same people that sponsored rebels in Libya to take down Gadaffi
They will come for AES (Niger, Burkina Faso & Mali) soon , after Iran
African countries that are fighting neocolonialism should arm themselves to the teeth because they will sponsor rebels to destabilize those countries

It's finally going down! These rebels are on the verge of taking over Damascus. The city's completely encircled, and Assad's soldiers are trying to blend in and escape in their thousands. They're surrendering left and right, while Russia and Iran are scrambling to evacuate their bases in Syria 'cause they're scared of getting killed. Lol

Meanwhile, people are trying to leg it outta the country, especially Assad's loyalists, but flights are getting cancelled, and Assad himself is on a flight to who-knows-where, LOL! He's trying to avoid gettin' the Gaddafi treatment.

Now, let this be a lesson to everyone :Russia ain't no reliable ally, they're just a bunch of noisemakers who can't even put up a proper fight

And, by the way, if you're supporting Assad, who's been killing thousands of his own people, but then you're condemning Netanyahu for defending his people against terrorists, then you're a bloody hypocrite.

You can't be supporting Assad and then hating those rebels who claim to be fighting for their land, at the same time cheering on Hamas terrorists for fighting for something that was never theirs!

Why anyone go condemn nathanyahu

I wonder how the "butterfly effect" plays out here.
1. Russia's invasion of Ukraine may have used up supplies used to prop up the Assad government.
2. Consequently, Turkey would've taken the initiative to further embolden the rebels.
3. The Oct 7 massacre in Southern Israel by Hamas and the resultant onslaught by the IDF to eliminate Hamas, Hezbollah, and allied resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria.
4. Military hardware destined for Hezbollah, from Iran, may've been taken over by rebels in Syria as a result of Israels blockade.
5. The US factor.. either covertly or overtly.


Good and correct analysis, not the skewed analysis we are seeing up there intended to launder the image of "shitsrael".

It also happened in Afghanistan 🇦🇫. Afghanistan collapsed to the Taliban in a giffy after many years of war nobody thought the Taliban would win. The Allied Forces led by the USA could not defeat the Taliban who fought for use of Islamic Sharia criminal justice system for the whole of Afghanistan. Sharia criminal laws include stoning blasphemous persons to death, stoning women to death for adultery, cutting out the hands of thieves, and other outdated crude punishment systems

Boko Haram and the Tafurawa of Nigeria share common objective- for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system.

One of the earliest demands of the CJN, Tanko Mohammed, appointed by then President Buhari was for Islamic sharia criminal justice system be included in Nigeria's Constitution. The political and religious leaders of the 12 far north states of Nigeria 🇳🇬 urinated on Nigeria's Constitution through adoption of unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal laws since 1999. Then president Obasanjo thought it was a joke and called it POLITICAL SHARIA.

Nigeria has been at mini war and bleeding since the adoption of sharia criminal laws in the far north states of Nigeria.

Innovation is popping up here and there. Artificial intelligence is reshaping our world. Nowadays, the "baddest" weapons with extreme precision are used, and whoever deploys them first takes the lead. Then the entire world's economy, politics, and business are transformed. Champions are being dethroned and new ones are emerging.

It is a privilege to be alive and witness the world's transition to another dimension.

China, Russia, and North Korea's partnership with the Middle East, which has threatened the US reign, appears to be collapsing. To maintain their dominance, I predict that the United States will form deeper alliances with new partners.

Here is where Nigeria comes in. Tinubu ditched Russia and embraced the NATO, and still playing smart by romancing BRICS grin. To me, the South African president has already seen this and is attempting to prepare for the future by maintaining a positive relationship with Nigeria (5-year visa for Nigeria confirms this...I have been researching this issue). South Africa has realized that it will not be able to dethrone Nigeria as Africa's giant. A Northern president would almost certainly have formed an alliance with Russia and the BRICS, but Tinubu stepped in at the perfect time. NATO will forever be grateful to him.

France is going to try to penetrate their lost African nations through Nigeria. Even if they will return, I just hope they have learned their lesson to not be too selfish. However, it is unfortunate that West Africans are unable to take charge of their countries' affairs, instead relying on others for assistance.

Finally, Western nations have completed their efforts to recruit human resources from Africa and Asia for the next phase of AI development, and they are all winding down their work visa and residence permit programs. Another chapter is about to unfold.

My recommendation:

1. Stay closer to God.
2. Learn gardening, buy 1 acre to 100 or more for your personal food production. Food production is going to change. Get into regenerative agricultural livestock and crop management.
3. Learn and invest in digital assets
4. Invest less in real estate, but you can still find goodies there
5. Artificial Intelligence is the real thing you should be involved in.
6. Take steps toward longevity, such as eating ONLY naturally produced food...or at least 80%, beginning strength training to build muscle for old age, taking your gut health seriously and starting now, and so on.

Ask also: who armed Sani Yerima, the then governor of Zamfara state, to introduce Sharia criminal justice system in the far north of Nigeria 🇳🇬 in 1999, in a society of people of different religious faiths?

Was Yerima armed by Israel or America or Western Europe? Yerima just returned from a foreign tour and introduced his Sharia criminal justice system in Zamfara state. The thing spread like wild fire in the other 11 far north states.

Did Yerima not understand the implications of what he did?
As the wars on Sharia criminal justice system erupted in Northern Nigeria, a BBC female reporter asked Yerima if he didn't understand that the sharia criminal justice system he introduced could possibly lead to break up of Nigeria.
