I'm not talking about a road. It is a pipeline project that carries Qatari gas to Europe to replace Russian gas. It will be extremely competitive in price with Russian gas.
Road projects might follow existing routes through Iraq.


Best thing is avoid Monarchies and dictatoships.

So based on the airbase situation. Is this now Turkey/Russian backed HTS vs US/Israel backed SDF war now?

Even after Assad was removed from power, they were launching airstrikes on Idlib and Northern Syria this morning. They definitely deserve to be humiliated.

They have a big coordination problem atm. Many Russian units are stranded inside Syria.

And we just let them evacuate assad through Turkish airspace on a military cargo airplane?

Who even dared to let this happen? Assad should have been smuggled through Iraqi-Iranian airspace.

Any contract (EEZ) signed between Syria and North Cyprus?
Of course not. That's a high bar i don't think we'll see unless North Cyprus is recognized by others first.

So based on the airbase situation. Is this now Turkey/Russian backed HTS vs US/Israel backed SDF war now?
Not yet. And calling HTS Russian backed is a bit reachiing don't you think?

Who even dared to let this happen?
I think government have established that they don't have symbolical red lines.

Evidence?
Syria was the most modern of the Arab countries as a society,i have been to Syria a couple of times before the war.
In rural areas there was moderate Islam but never Jihadis or radicals,the cities were normal just like in my country a mix of everything.
The Syrians i have met in Europe are all somewhat modern,maybe 10% closed but no ideas of Sharia rule.
They all want a modern democracy and freedom,actually nobody cares about politics just freedom.
Why you ask,you would like it to be an Islamic(rule) country?

What about the HTS tho ? Isn't that what they want ? To ultimately turn Syria into an Islamic state ?

I have a very very very bad information to share that almost made me cry

there are about 150,000 prisoners still trapped in Siydna prison near Damascus, the regime had destroyed all electric looks and disabled the ventilation system

The resistance are fighting time to free them all

150,000 prisoners !!
dont belive everything u read on internet , 150k is a almost city and even if they are trapped they can survive several days , air can pass even throw 1mm space so that prison may have several windows

If HTS was the only player then yes it would have tried it but the SNA has more power with the backing of Turkiye(the HTS knows it).
Remember Idlib,Türkiye condoned the HTS and other radicals just because they would fight Assad to keep Idlib.
Not just the HTS but whoever tries to bring something other then democracy to Syria will regret even trying it let alone imposing it on the people of Syria.
Why do you think the HTS and SNA didnt join to act as one entity?
Türkiye doesnt trust the HTS(nobody does).

No safe passage for the Russians.

The convoys will get attacked by angry Syrians and leave Turkish soldiers in a tough spot.

Russians also bombed ambulances trying to pick up Turkish soldiers and denied Turkish helicopters.

Let the Russians face the consequences of their actions. No good will nothing for them.

Lets not forget how they massacred Ukrainian soldiers who surrendered in 2015. Russians promised them safe passage then proceeded to massacre them.

Now we can make a EEZ with both Lebanon and Syria before Great-Israel emerges.

US attacks Islamic State in Syria​


10 timer • 2 min read

US aircraft have hit over 75 targets, including Islamic State training camps in Syria, the command announced.

The United States carried out a series of airstrikes against the Islamic State (IS) movement in Syria on Sunday.

This was announced by the central command unit, Centcom, in the US Department of Defense.

US forces have carried out "dozens of precision strikes" against IS training camps as well as the extremist Islamist movement's leaders and foot soldiers.


Over 75 targets linked to IS have reportedly been hit.

This happened as part of "the ongoing mission to disrupt, weaken and defeat" Islamic State, Centcom writes on the social media X.

"Evaluation of the damage is underway. There are no signs of civilian casualties," it added.

It is not the first time this year that the United States has targeted Islamic State. But Sunday's attack comes in the wake of a lightning offensive by the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which has toppled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"We will not allow ISIS to re-emerge and take advantage of the current situation in Syria," said General Michael Erik Kurilla in the statement from Centcom.

- All organizations in Syria must know that we will hold them accountable if they cooperate with or support ISIS in any way.

The United States is at the head of an international coalition that, together with Kurdish forces, could declare the Islamic State defeated in Syria and Iraq in 2019.


Five years earlier, the movement had proclaimed a caliphate - that is, an Islamic rule.

According to the Reuters news agency, the US has 900 soldiers in Syria and another 2,500 in Iraq.

The American soldiers are working to advise and support local forces trying to prevent a resurgence of the Islamic State.

The movement still has cells and militant fighters in Syria, among other places, who occasionally carry out isolated attacks.
