The U.S. strategy in Syria is simple: Prolong the war, prolong the refugee crisis, prolong the suffering of the people economically.

The devaluation of the pound didn't affect Assad, it affected the whole Syrian population and drove them to severe poverty.

President Aoun signed a decree transferring credit to buy the COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer.

The Minister of Health will take over the procedures for signing the agreement.

The vaccines are likely to arrive in February, as the west bought all of the first batches.

The dollar exchange rate decreased from 8,400 to 7,800.

Do not sell, it's just a play to make people sell their dollars to exchange offices by the central bank.

A retired major in the Lebanese army escaped to the United States after be was sentenced in court for accepting bribes to admit students in the officers military academy.

Will post the updates on the bribes case later.

In summary, each political party (not all) used to get paid 20-50k to admit students into the military academy. However after 3 years of investigations, only mid level officers were punished and political parties were not accused.

Do you know that the Emir of ISIS and the Emir of Al Qaeda in Lebanon and Qalamoun were both goods smugglers between Lebanon and Syria pre the war?

What Geroman said is technically correct. https://twitter.com/GeromanAT/status/1341702617823670272

Lebanon recorded today 2246 new cases and 22 deaths.

Samer Hajj Ali - Al-Manar Channel:

The Israeli enemy fired a number of flare bombs in the airspace of the territorial waters of occupied Palestine, adjacent to Ras Al-Naqoura, as part of a night drill carried out by its soldiers.

Top U.S. national security officials agreed on Wednesday on a proposed range of options to present to the President aimed at deterring any attack on U.S. military or diplomatic personnel in Iraq.

So US killed Soleimani to deter Iran but ended up needing to deter again? Ah well

Since we all know Iran is evil and the USA/Israel are good guys.

I wonder if anyone made a list with the civilians casualties caused by each side during their conflicts.

Would be interesting to see the evil inflicted by Iran and the axis of resistance. Right?

Netanyahu: We will not allow the development of high-precision missiles in Syria and Lebanon, and anyone who tries to attack us will be subjected to a crushing blow. The Air Force is ready to operate with strength, at any range, in any arena, against any target.

To all those who celebrate, Wishing you and your family health, happiness, peace and prosperity this Christmas and in the coming New Year.

The U.S. military–industrial complex is bipartisan.

The U.S. wars are bipartisan.

The U.S. evil is bipartisan.

Hear me out.

The Iraq Embassy attack according to CENTCOM was by 21 107 mm rockets, yet we only have photos of 6*2 launchers. All empty.

This means there is another launch site that we don't have the pictures of.

21/6 = 3.5 aka we have 4 launchers of 6 rocket capacity each. These 4 can fire 24 in total. Thus 21 being fired leaves exactly 3 rockets unfired in one.

My question is, where is the second launch site and why weren't any photos of it released? Why didn't anyone report a second?

And just to make it clear, I'm in no way claiming it's a false flag or whatever, it isn't. But I have to make it clear that these 107 mm are owned by everyone in Syria and Iraq. Iran delivered truck loads of them to the Syrian and Iraqi government in 2014-2017.

The National Agency: Israeli enemy aircrafts are flying over the city of Sidon and its vicinity, with mock raids at medium altitude.

MAG, a UK NGO, for demining operations of Isrseli mines and cluster bombs in southern Lebanon, decided to lay off 130 Lebanese employees after the UK decided to stop funding the operation in Lebanon.
