Why no russian knife?
Because it is propaganda piece. All what happened is that the Syrians managed to get out the most oppressive knives (Russian and Iran).
Yeah, Russia and Iran are far more oppressive than the US, Israel, and Turkey
My country was “freed” by Russia, and let just say we would prefer they would leave us with Nazi Germany.
And for those with bad memory there’s also Ukraine, Georgia, Chechenya.
Ah, and which country is this then?
… and now we are getting to the point, why Russia is hated universally by its neighbors. So many of the same stories and you can’t tell which one I’m talking about.
To the West WW2 ended in 1945, the countries “freed” by Russia had to wait another 45 years until 1990 when USSR collapsed to become free.
Yeah I can make shit up too. Playing pretend is fun.
Are you really so ignorant that you’re not familiar with the Baltic states?
Why should anyone listen to your opinion if you’re uneducated in such basic things?
Russia was supporting Assad. They’re not anymore.
By some reports they are still trying to negotiate with the HTS to keep their little port.
They bombed Syrian rebels to fuck, if they keep that port it’s a minor miracle.
There are reports of russia dismantling it’s military assets in Syria
HTS seem to be pragmatists and they need someone to sell them replacements for most of the equipment Israel is bombing. I think this is in the hands of the west to fuck up, but since Israel is involved, that’s almost a given.
It’s not a comics, it’s a Soviet type propaganda.
They went down from five knives to three? Sounds like an improvement.
While the USA is far from perfect, they don’t use chemical weapons on their own people at least.
This is definitely an improvement for the Syrian people.
Hello! I agree with the point you are making but I must satisfy my need for historical accuracy.

That was private security, rather than government forces though.
Come on, you don’t get access to spare WW I Ammunition and use it without Government approval.
Fair point.
3 day old account, seems about right
2 month old account, seems about right
This was all planned long ago, back in the 2000s, James Woolsey (ex head of the CIA), Jacob Rothschild, Dick Cheney, and Rupert Murdoch all invested large sums of money onto Genoe Energy, the oil exploration company charged with surveying and drilling the contested Golan Heights area which is just outside of Israel’s border.
…the problem? It’s in Syria. So now it will become Israel’s as they bomb the area in preparation for settlement (straight up Colonialism, it never ended just become one of the many under handed behaviors enabled under Capitalism).
So this is the planning, the investments from the wealthy ruling class members of multiple countries, the political lobbying, and the geopolitical military industrial complex that serves that ruling class, all coming together.
So anyways, that’s what I interpret this image to be about. Genie Energy has a Wikipedia page that can confirm the above details if anyone is interested.
P.S I suspect Turkey is represented for contributing fighters and doing administration, or being part of the carve up. But perhaps someone more familiar with that can add more about their involvement. They stood to benefit no matter who “won”.
Turkey is explicitly backing the Syrian Natonal Army (not the actual Syrian Army or the Free Syrian Army - splitters!) but it’s understood that they were also backing HTS to some extent (although not openly as they are still a proscribed organisation in a lot of western countries) and it was Turkey that greenlit the recent big push as their negotiations with Assad were going nowhere. So, while the West have been scrambling for some influence in Syria (and Russia and Iran have lost their’s), Turkey has been left as the main puller of strings in Syria. Their main concern is the Kurds and they were attacking them within a day or two of Assad falling.
