Peter Ford discusses Trump and his partial “withdrawal” from Syria.
“As so often with Trump, I think his near psychotic obsession with showing he could do better than Obama explains the Baghdadi caper.”
Meeting the courageous Syrian Arab Army in Manbij and Ayn Al Arab
What always strikes me and moves me about the SAA soldiers is their simplicity, their kindness and their humanity. These are not “government forces” or “Assad’s militia” as colonial media would love you to believe, they are farmers, doctors, students – fathers, brothers, sons and husbands. They are of the people and they are dying for the people across Syria.
Revisiting the Old City, Aleppo almost three years after the liberation from terrorist groups
This short interview is so familiar – the same history of externally fuelled sectarianism and terror, the refusal to accept an ideology so far removed from Syria’s secular culture, the destruction and the determination to rebuild and to restore Syria, not to how it was before but better.
Forest fires in Homs, Lattakia and Tartous decimate Syrian environment
These fires are being fought and extinguished by the SYRIAN Civil Defence, the REAL one, the Syrian Civil Defence and Fire Brigades that were established in 1953. These brigades have been the quiet heroes in this 8 year proxy war waged against the Syrian people by the western imperialist alliance.
SYRIA: Turkey, the Kurds and NATO explained
“Anyone who is not loyal to his country and sells it at the lowest price, he/she will find themselves thrown out of the history. We have warned for many times of these conspiracies against the homeland and the Syrian people, and we said that those who throw themselves into the lap of the foreigner, the foreign will kick them out when the time is right,”
White Helmets and Hala Systems – the grotesque militarisation of “humanitarianism” in Syria
“Inter alia the investigation of Hala Systems shines a light on the strange situation where jihadi extremists in Idlib have mysterious access to state of the art drone technology capable of testing the defences of a nearby Russian airbase in. If the CIA and Pentagon had wanted to probe Russia’s defences in hot war conditions they could hardly have hoped for a better test bed. Speculation about US de facto collaboration with Al Qaida against Russia, as occurred earlier in Afghanistan, is far from fanciful. “
White Helmets and Hala Systems – possible CIA front training extremist groups in Idlib.
Implicating Frank Giustra, the Clinton Foundation, CIA, US Navy and Military, MIT, the British Government, Canada, America, Netherlands and Germany among many others in the supply of military equipment and technical expertise to the White Helmets and the terrorist armed groups, particularly in Idlib.
Canadian media attack Labour leader for standing in solidarity with Syrian people
The conflict in Syria is nothing less than imperialist aggression aimed at forcing “regime change.” The instruments of this intervention are a proxy invasion by terrorist organizations and brutal sanctions. There is nothing democratic, humanitarian or just about any of it. That the CLC leadership cannot – or will not – see beyond the confines of the US-NATO storyline is an indication of how deep and damaging labour’s reliance on right-wing social democratic politics has become.

Two Opposite Ways Of Interpreting Wars And International Relations – Eric Zuesse
The opposite way — the anti-imperialist viewpoint — of reporting about war and international relations, has been embodied, to cite two prime authentic journalists — NOT propagandists (such as Colvin was) — by Vanessa Beeley, and also by Eva Bartlett. Both of these authentically great reporters have also covered the war in Syria. Here, from them, is this opposite way of interpreting war and international relations:
