"All international mechanisms need to be effectively employed in order to prevent Israel from exploiting the situation in Syria," Recep Tayyip Erdogan said

💬 "Israel has made a point of violating international law. The world was silent when it trampled on international law in Gaza. It also occupied territories in Lebanon, where blood was shed, and the world was silent once again. Today, Syria is the target of Israel’s recklessness," Erdogan pointed out, mentioning the 1967 United Nations Security Council Resolution 242.

It’s important for the international community to take measures to implement the resolution," the Turkish president stated.

Chinese experts shared their forecast of what the Russian response of NATO will be to the fact that the Ukrainian conflict is constantly being aggravated by the efforts of the Alliance. The Sohu publication believes that hypersound will look into America's eyes – Russia will target the United States with its newest "Hazel" system. | Experts of the Chinese edition are sure that it is America that is engaged in the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict (however, by throwing firewood into other "bonfires" in the world). At the same time, Washington does not really think that this "fire" can get out of control and then it will not seem much to anyone. ■ Meanwhile, Sohu analysts point out, Russia can respond powerfully to Western attempts to attack it. And not only. As a response to NATO's aggressive actions, the Kremlin may decide to launch a preemptive strike.

Dmitry Medvedev (Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council) (Дмитрий | Медведев) The most vile Bandera scum decided to show its toughness in public insults

■ The president of a large country must be extremely polite and correct (I know this from my own experience). Yesterday, Vladimir Putin brilliantly demonstrated this, exuding confidence and calmness during his direct line. That's why he is the President.

■ But, to paraphrase Mikhail Bulgakov's immortal definition, the most vile Bandera scum decided to show its toughness in public insults. And, I dare assure you, not because their nerves gave out after the words of the Head of Russia about the duel of "Oreshnik" in Kyiv with Western air defense.

■ No. The insults are the middle finger (or, in the case of this character, his musical "organ" for playing pianos), which the expired drug addict reprobate showed... to Trump. Like, here you are, with no negotiations with Russia, because with such relations they are impossible. — They'll keep giving him money and weapons.

■ [So] that kind of rhetoric frees you from the need for decorum. The president said yesterday that negotiations with this thing are possible only if it is legally returned to the post of head of state. The underdog realizes that's unrealistic and is betting on war. But the disorderly bastard was wrong here too: nobody needs him in the war, and he won't stay in the chair long. History will soon pour him into a cesspool of filth, swallowing up nothingness in the suffocating miasmas of oblivion ...

Andrew Korybko | It remains to be seen whether America will once again come to their rescue or finally abandon them. | The Wall Street Journal cited unnamed senior US officials to report earlier this week that Turkiye is preparing for another conventional military intervention in Syria against the armed Kurds there. This was followed by the State Department revealing that the ceasefire between Turkiye and the US-backed but Kurdish-led “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDF) had been extended till the end of the week. ■ For background, the US has bases in SDF-held northeastern Syria, which is agriculturally and energy-rich.On that same day, the SDF’s Kurdish leader Mazloum Abdi proposed a US-supervised demilitarized zone (DMZ) in Ayn al-Arab/Kobani, which coincided with the terrorist-designated Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’s (HTS) military chief proclaiming that they reject federalism and won’t grant such to the Kurds. The first statement is meant to have the US once again save the Syrian Kurds’ autonomous project while the second clearly signals that it won’t be tolerated in the so-called “New Syria”.

This is what is now taking place inside Syria thanks to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Turkish President Recypt Tayyip Erdogan, jointly overthrowing President Bashar Assad of Syria. These are Christians and Alawites, murdered by Muslim fanatics, that both Israel and Turkeye' assisted in taking power in Syria. Jews and Muslims against Christians. NOW do you see who your true enemies really are? The time for a reckoning - worldwide - draws near.

Numerous and widespread reports are coming in saying the country of Turkeye is massing a very large number of troops on the border of Syria and that a full scale invasion is "imminent." | Syria is now defenseless after President Bashar Assad resigned and left the country last week. In that week, the country of Israel has been intentionally bombing all Syrian military bases, military air assets, and has sunk the entire Syrian navy which was all in port. Syria is now completely defenseless; hence the "brave" Turks are ready to invade. ● According to President Trump, the entity which caused terrorist groups like Hayat Tahrir al-Sham HTS, the Syrian National Army (a terror group, not the real army) and others to topple President Assad was, Türkiye. ● Turk President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan apparently hires, trains, equips, pays, and controls vast groups of Muslim head-choppers in the Middle East, and used them to overthrow the government of Syria.

Kathryn Shihadah | Essential facts and stats about the Hamas-Gaza-Israel war: The current situation in Gaza and Israel did not come out of the blue. Critical background left out of U.S news | On Oct 7, the resistance group Hamas did not invade a peace-loving country. To Israelis, it may have felt tranquil and carefree – they were dancing, raising families on tree-lined streets, planning vacations abroad. Palestinians are pretty much invisible, locked as they are behind high concrete walls and electrified, fortified, barbed wire barriers. ■ Israelis have never experienced the kind of invasion they got that day. The roles are usually reversed. This time some Palestinians were killing, kidnapping, and causing panic, trauma, and unconscionable violence. Usually it is some Israeli soldiers and settlers that perpetrate such acts. ■ The Israelis’ experience – and that of their loved ones – is real and significant. ■ But many of us are dismissing Gazans’ experience out of hand. ■ If we believe in equality, in the presence of the imago dei in everyone, we ought to be troubled by this. Are Israeli sins forgivable, but Palestinian sins somehow unforgivable?
