Last Monday, after much speculation Trump signed a declaration recognizing the occupied Golan Heights as Israeli territory.
Trump recognizing the Golan Heights as Israeli land is a sign that Washington is falling ever deeper into the abyss.The ever so Israel friendly Trump administration is trying to give legitimacy to Israel’s occupation of Syrian territory. Who do they think they are kidding?
Make no mistake, defying the world who stand opposed to the illegal Israeli occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights, will never give Israel legitimacy over these lands.
This is a sign of weakness and desperation for both Washington and Tel Aviv. Both Trump and Netanyahu are under fire on their respective home fronts, both are desperate to get re-elected, this is true especially with regards to the Zionist chieftain who is facing corruption and bribery charges.
This move was a gift from Trump to the Zionist chieftain in an effort to support his re-election. They both share a staunch hatred for the Islamic Republic of Iran and its allies and Washington cannot afford to have someone in Tel Aviv who’s less hawkish and hungry for war than Netanyahu. With this move, Trump also hopes to gain favour with the Zionist PACs in the US, who basically decide the outcome of every US election.
So far, the Arab leaders, who have no spine whatsoever have only vocally condemned this move. Don’t expect them to do more as most of them are in Washington’s pocket regardless. Not even Syria can do anything at the moment as the country remains in tatters after 8 years of devastating war while parts of Syria are still occupied. President Assad cannot make such a move anytime soon.
But I do hope that this move emboldens Tel Aviv’s arrogance to make the same move on the occupied Sheeba farms in Lebanon. Because that will be a different story. Hezbollah will respond and they will respond with force. We all know the Zionist state fears Hezbollah and Iran the most, we all know that Hezbollah can respond with deadly force, this was evident in the aftermath of the arrogant Israeli attack on southern Syria a few years ago in which Jihad Mughniyeh was killed, and Hezbollah responded by destroying an entire Israeli military convoy. Tel Aviv most certainly remembers that one. This is why Israel has avoided targeting Hezbollah in Syria ever since.
In any case, this move by Washington and Tel Aviv was a pathetic one, one that will only feed more legitimacy to the Resistance Front. Washington is making more and more enemies on a daily basis as it now walks ever deeper in the abyss.
What’s taking so long for the Syrian Army to attack Idlib?
Elsewhere, the Russian Air Force has been striking Idlib for weeks now as the Syrian Army has been amassing troops near the Hama-Idlib border. However, despite proclamations by the government that every inch of Syria will be liberated, the Syrian Armed Forces have been unable to launch any significant ground offensives against groups like Jaysh Al-Izza, Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham, and the Turkestan Islamic Party (jihadist faction).
The major obstacle for a new Syrian Army offensive is Ankara. The Turkish Armed Forces have placed so called “observation posts” across the entire demilitarized zone to prevent any Syrian Army offensive in the area.
The Syrian Army has relied on shelling and launching missile strikes on HTS and other terrorist groups in the Idlib region as the Russian Armed Forces have decided to halt any SAA offensives on this plagued province, instead relying on dialogue and negotiations with Ankara.
Without Moscow’s approval, the Syrian military would not launch an operation of this magnitude, especially with a potential conflict with the Turkish Armed Forces hanging in the balance.
Russia has a strong desire to keep Turkey happy because they have proven to be a thorn in the side of the U.S. Coalition, who currently backs the Kurdish groups that Ankara has labeled ‘terrorists’.
Turkey wants to expel the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and People’s Protection Units (YPG) from the Aleppo, Al-Raqqa, and Al-Hasakah governorates, despite the fact these groups are NATO-backed.
Moscow sees this conflict as a way to force Washington to either withdraw from Syria or worse, clash with their NATO ally. Direct conflict on the ground between Washington and Ankara is highly unlikely given they are both NATO members however Ankara’s refusal to accept a US- controlled buffer zone puts a strain on their already fragile relationship.
This is where the potential Idlib offensive is connected to Ankara’s decision to begin their push to expel Washington’s SDF proxies from the eastern Eastern Euphrates. Ankara likely has Moscow’s approval to launch such an offensive, but I expect Moscow to want something in return. Should Ankara launch this offensive and be able to move its proxies over to eastern Syria, it could oave the way for the SAA to retake the Idlib province in what can only be seen as an exchange of territory deal.
what about those S300s that were going to put Israel in its place and keep it there ?
” it could oave the way for the SAA to retake the Idlib province in what can only be seen as an exchange of territory deal”
Lol. How is it an exchange of territory when it all belongs to Syria? Meanwhile the real occupation of national territory by Zionist backed Kurds in NE Syria, continues apace. Idlib is a distraction from the ongoing partitioning of the country along the Euphrates. If the war is over then ordinary Syrians lost — I have nothing to say about the Syrian elites.
Netyanhu to meet Putin soon…..lots more Usa action against Isis last coupla days….definitely usa forces remaining as Pompeo says withdrawal will be even more gradual….. tribal leaders in the camp are “happier” with Russia but Usa aint talking burying their head in the sand…..someone wants to retake Manbij…occaisional skirmishes Turkey v YKP and friends and vica versa….Iran accused of UK cyber attacks and killing lots of americans….game on still there then…hhhmm.
Southfront has posted article re Israel meeting Putin…..an interesting point to me is they write is that maybe the visit is timed apart from upcoming Israel election… so Israels influence -allegedly?-over the leading Ukraine candidate for president can be used as a bargaining point for their own benefit re Syria and for possible developments in Donbass that assist them to please Russia and Russia might find beneficial??????

I believe Russia has not announced the agenda for the meeting.
Nicely done piece here by AM. This part of it could be expanded upon, though:
“What’s taking so long for the Syrian Army to attack Idlib?

Before I continue, have a look at these articles:
Pompeo to Turkey: Military Action in Syria Will Have ‘Devastating’ Consequences

‘US must choose between Turkey and terrorists’: Ankara slaps Pence with counter-ultimatum
https://www.rt.com/news/455500-us-must-choose-turkey-terrorism/
It boils down to this: jump the gun over Idlib, and probably lose the Turkish progress, or sit it out a while longer and allow nature to take its course?
The zionazi-gay proxies in Idlib are contained within a “cauldron” which they are essentially neutralised. There is really no need to rush to eliminate them now. They’re done.
Turkey, on the other hand, is at a very important, and somewhat delicate crossroads. She needs wooing and flowers. Looking at the pense/pompeo threats directed at Turkey in the above articles, it is clear the zionazi-gays are seeking to expel Turkey from nato, if the Turks continue on their current path.
Turkey no longer in nato. Think about that and the ramifications that would have for the region. Especially since Turkey controls who and what gets to travel by sea between the Med. and the Black Sea.
The zionazi-gays want to chop up Turkey Yugoslavia style, as part of their “greater” israel masturbation, and gain control not only of Turkey’s unique position between Asia and Europe, but also they want Turk access to the vast energy resources in the East Med.
The ziosods want to both break up Turkey and maintain Turkey as a regional power. Their threats are a desperate attempt to goad their assets in Turkey to persuade their government to resume the previous master/slave relationship. If zionazi, inc. fails to convince Turkey to “assume the position”, they turn on Turkey full force, as they are against Syria, Russia, Venezuela, China, etc.
So Syria, Iran and Russia are much better off waiting now, rather than forcing the issue in Idlib, and letting the likud superior, chosen ones continue pushing Turkey into the multipolar camp.
The zionazi-gays definitely want to push Turkey out of nato so they can use their kurd proxies openly to Balkanize the country for “greater” israel.
Nothing short of total obedience? Pentagon rejects any talks with Turkey in S-400 vs F-35 row
https://www.rt.com/news/455602-us-rejects-turkish-s400-proposal/
“The Pentagon has firmly rejected Turkey’s offer to create a bilateral working group that would ensure that no military secrets of the US are compromised once Ankara deploys the Russian S-400 air defense systems.”
The pindo fear is palpable.
In response to the this act of supreme arrogance by the US – in thinking that it has the authority to give Syrian land to Israel – Bashar al-Assad, should form a new army division, whose sole task should be to liberate the Golan Heights.
Call it the Golan Liberation Division, or whatever, but ensure that its trained and fully equipped to clear the Heights of all occupiers and plant the Syrian flag at the highest point.

Don’t know if you have seen the news about Iran and the incredible disaster of the flooding and such there. Says that over 1/3 of all bridges and roads have been wiped out by the unbelievable deluge. When I see and read this my thoughts immediately turn to the biblical scriptures that teach that such events are induced by
God for whatever reason:
Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones hurtling down, and violent winds will burst forth. When the wall collapses, will people not ask you, “Where is the whitewash you covered it with?”
“Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my wrath I will unleash a violent wind, and in my anger hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with destructive fury.” (Ezekiel 13:11–13)
When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses. (Jeremiah 51:16)
The Lord will cause people to hear his majestic voice and will make them see his arm coming down with raging anger and consuming fire, with cloudburst, thunderstorm and hail. (Isaiah 30:30)
See, the Lord has one who is powerful and strong. Like a hailstorm and a destructive wind, like a driving rain and a flooding downpour, he will throw it forcefully to the ground… “I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line; hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie, and water will overflow your hiding place.” (Isaiah 28:2, 17)
If true I don’t know what could possibly be going on to provoke God is a question to ponder?
Further to this is the book of Revelations and the mentioning of the Euphrates River?
Strange to how the scriptures talks about imprisoned former angels in this river? Isn’t that odd? I mean these rivers the Euphrates and Tigris goes back to the very beginning of creation and with Genesis mentioning actually four rivers going out from Eden well there was a history here that we were never told about anywhere in Holy Scripture other than the destruction under Noah? Now to see this deluge in Iran and the teachings from Revelation wow it is raising for me anyway some very serious questions about the coming storm over the entire world. could we be the generation set for the final events?
