Ya Allah take every western leftist on Twitter and give us one Arab AMLO then one Arab Sheinbaum.

I’m usually yapping about Lebanese government formations and Iraqi shia cults here, but this time I want other nerds to yap here. What’s going on in Zambia or Zimbabwe or Mozambique or Angola or Botswana or Malawi or any African nation that isn’t under French financial strangulation like the ones in West Africa? How are their economies doing? Native corruption or European shenanigans? Are the Chinese cooking anything there? Are they producing anything interesting? Any cultural output that is interesting? How does an average day look in Maputo or Lusaka or Luanda or anywhere? I only hear about these nations whenever their football team is playing in the AFCON, but I literally haven’t read anything interesting about these countries in a long time.

Iconic comrade Leila Khaled has been hospitalized with an Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Sending sincere prayers and good vibes to our heroic comrade.

Well it seems that the Russian gas tunnel operation in Kursk has worked, they’re now geolocated on the edges of Sudzha in the old McDonald’s area lmao.

Here’s how the Kursk bulge looked around 36 hours ago:

Here’s how it looks now:

Two Alawite families that my mom knows from her university days have been killed in Baniyas. She’s in a facebook group with her old classmates and it’s just full of obituaries of old people that have been mercilessly slaughtered by the terrorists. I don’t know what to say, death just surrounds my people from all angles.

That’s a good analysis of the situation. The Jihadis expected that they could rule a devastated country through vibes and positive energy, where people would stop complaining about the complete destruction of the economy simply because Assad was gone. The electricity situation is horrendous, no one except some returning expats has any money, and even the Turks and the Qataris are realising that the country is basically a corpse, all they can do is send aid because there are no institutions or functioning economic organs that can cooperate in any larger projects to rebuild anything. The state has zero control over the fertile Euphrates lands nor the oil, which will remain unsolved because the SDF aren’t that interested in cooperating with the Jihadis. Add Israel’s continuing sabotage of the state by the constant bombing and the incursions into southern Syria. The situation is basically fucked and will continue to deteriorate, HTS can’t consolidate power without their hard-line Jihadis murdering people in the streets, which will only embolden internal and external enemies. A bankrupt state can’t fight multiple battles if it’s too poor to even pay pensions and operate border crossings.

The language and symbols used by the “resistance” in Latakia today are completely Iranian/Axis-coded. The coverage by Iranian media also seems way bigger than usual and suggests that the Iranians are fully backing this movement and probably smuggling weapons to them through the chaos of the Lebanese and Iraqi borders and SDF-controlled areas. Don’t expect anything from Russia, they will be on the sidelines watching for this, and Iran will also not take an official supporting stance as long as this doesn’t snowball into a larger armed confrontation.

What is happening in Syria is pure insanity, here’s my little breakdown of the wider geopolitical situation from what I’m understanding from scrolling through Arab Facebook and Telegram today.

There are basically two opposing sides when it comes to how to do deal with the new Jihadi government in Syria. One side is pro-cooperation and consolidation of the new government, and the other side is pro-chaos and making it as hard as possible for the new regime to gain any legitimacy both internally in Syria and internationally. Here’s how the situation currently looks if we’re talking major regional players:

Pro-regime: Saudi, Qatar, Sunni Syrians, most other Arab states and Turkey

Pro-chaos: Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Hezbollah, SDF, minority Syrians and Israel

So we have a rare situation where the interests of Iran and Israel converge and they’re both interested in making any effective ruling difficult for the Jihadis. The Israelis’ partners in this clusterfuck are the Druze in Southern Syria, and some possible backdoor collaboration with Syrian Kurds in Eastern Syria. The Iranians still have good relations with former SAA members and are popular with Alawites and other Shia-adjacent groups in Syria, which is why they’re backing them in Western Syria on the coast. Iranian and Axis media also seems to have shifted towards a more positive coverage of the SDF. I personally don’t even have a take at this point, this is all developing way too quickly.

Syria has already speedrunned the 2003-2006 consolidation stage of post-2003 Iraq straight into the free-for-all Call of Duty multiplayer stage of 2006-2007. It’s basically open war in the entire south and now the coast. A Hezbollah-Iran-backed group called the Military Council for the Liberation of Syria has suddenly appeared and they’ve done quite a major operation today against the new Jihadi regime, killing tens of fighters and kidnapping many more. I just wish Assad wasn’t a complete dumbass and was more effective in killing the Jihadi dreams earlier, look we’re today for the sake of Allah.
