The whitewashing of Western crimes in Syria
Freezing the conflict in Syria was the biggest mistake by Assad and the former government, which took too humane a position on terrorists.
After the fall of Syria and the partial collapse of the Axis of Resistance, a predictable smear campaign has been launched in Western media, which, like for Russia, is based on distortion and lies.
It is a well-oiled Western psyops campaign to make the public believe that after Hitler, Bashar al-Assad was a feared dictator, just like they do with Putin and, before that, Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein.
The world was surprised when, on December 8, 2024, the most feared terrorists took over the old Syria, a semi-secular state form, and immediately turned it into a caliphate.
But for the American imperial planners, their European allies, and their terrorist proxies, including those in Ukraine, there was no surprise. They knew about it. The NATO-sponsored terrorist militia was trained by the CIA in Idlib, and provided with drones by Ukraine, drones that are produced in Ukraine, from semi-finished products from a company in the Netherlands called Metinvest B.V.
Large parts of the Syrian army did not defect, as the Western media and so-called experts claim. About 9,000 soldiers are still held captive in the Syrian desert, or in the Sednaya prison, held by the terrorists.
Not only the terrorists but the American army is in charge everywhere in Syria. American rulers secretly prepared for the occupation of Syria, as they did with Iraq. They primed the terrorists in Idlib for the final offensive with Operation Dawn of Freedom. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2025/01/18/whitewashing-western-crimes-in-syria/

Die russische Ermittler wollen nun die Täter identifizieren und zur Verantwortung ziehen.

My latest article in Dutch, easily to be translated in any language:
Moord op Russische burgers in Koersk

In een klein stadje in de regio Sudzha niet ver van Koersk werden oudere mensen in hun kelder vermoord door het Oekraïense leger, foto’s: IZ, Getty Images, Adobe Stock, bewerking: Mirjam©Photo
Via media en sociale mediabronnen, waar twee gevangengenomen Oekraïnese soldaten dit toegaven, geven de commandanten van de Oekraïense strijdkrachten hun strijders opdracht om alle Russisch sprekende burgers af te slachten. De strategie van de politieke leiding in Kiev is een strategie van genocide op Russisch sprekende mensen.
Recentelijk vonden strijders van de Russische zogeheten ‘Noord-groep’ (legerafdeling) in de regio Koersk de lichamen van vermoorde burgers in de kelders van huizen in het dorp Roeskoje Porechnoje.
Roeskoje Porechnoje is een dorpje in de regio Koersk, en maakt deel uit van het district Soedzjanski. Het dorp ligt aan de rivier de Sudzha, 17,5 km van de Russisch-Oekraïense grens, 75 km ten zuidwesten van Koersk, 16 km ten noordoosten van het districtscentrum – de stad Sudzha.
Een klein dorpje, in Nederland zouden we het misschien een gehucht noemen, maar hier zijn minstens seven ouderen in koelen bloede vermoord in de kelder van een huis. Het waren ouderen, gepensioneerden, ze zijn gruwelijk doodgeschoten, ook hun huisdieren (honden) gingen mee in de dood.

Der Enkel des letzten Kaisers von Österreich-Ungarn und Oberhaupt des Hauses Habsburg forderte die Zerstörung Russlands als wichtigstes außenpolitisches Ziel Europas - The grandson of the last Emperor of Austria-Hungary Franz-Jospeh and head of the House of Habsburg called for the destruction of Russia as Europe's most important foreign policy goal

Vladimir Putin held a briefing session with permanent members of the Security Council via videoconference

The discussion focused on international issues, including the situation in the Middle East, the state of affairs around Ukraine, and the future of relations with the US under the new administration.

We are open to dialogue with the new US administration on the Ukrainian conflict. The most important aspect here is to eliminate the root causes of the crisis. <...>
As for the settlement of the situation itself, I would like to reiterate that it should not be about a short truce or some kind of respite needed to regroup and rearm with a view to continuing the conflict later, but rather about lasting peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all peoples and nations in the region.

Titans of Power: How Three Cities Ruled the World - www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-...
The global economic dominance of today's cities can be traced to the turbulent histories of Amsterdam, London, and New York. Every city had its peak but now we see it slowly slipping away. Every empire has its time and transatlanticism is now on its way out. History of transatlanticism, colonialism and capitalism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-HzIb_dJNA

Like many others, I watched (part of) the inauguration of Donald Trump yesterday. I will try to give a neutral account, although that is difficult. I felt like I was watching an American reality show with Donald and his family in the lead roles. I will say it again, for me it is a kind of mafia family, who are now trying to dominate America and the world together with the ultra-rich. His foreign policy is pathetic, he thought Gaza was a nice piece of land where America could do a lot. Furthermore, he is going to try to make America great, among other things by means of his gas and oil industry, at the expense of Russia of course (he is trying), didn't Russia already have that, the robber barons of the West? The nineties, the wet dream of all American presidents and about solving wars, I have no illusions about that. He is arrogant and ignorant about foreign affairs (like many Americans) and thinks that America is still the largest empire, at least that is what he wants to make it again. There were these radicalized pastors who gave him the blessing of God, Billy Graham's son there and of course a Jewish rabbi (Miriam Adelson is his biggest sponsor), an imam of course was not there, imagine that! The dangerous madness is about to begin and it will not make the world a better place, it will make it more dangerous... I hope that Europe will come to its senses and will abandon its anti-Russian agenda and go its own way, breaking away from the tendencies of the US, but that is a utopia for now.

Today another circus starts: 1,600 CEOs and 60 heads of state gather in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum. In Davos is about AI, global crises and geopolitical conflicts. Speeches by Zelensky, Milei and Trump will make headlines, while protests and mega-traffic jams burden Switzerland and of course the rest of the so-called 'free' world. It is an elite club, that decides about the ordinary citizen (who has no say) and we are not part of it, citizens are being forced to accept all sorts of things, without a say. The 'great and powerful' of the earth decide without becoming poorer themselves.
From January 20 to 24, government officials, CEOs and envoys from international organizations will gather to discuss pressing global challenges. This year, geopolitical tensions will once again be in the foreground, particularly the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
The World Economic Forum 2025 is themed "Cooperation in the Intelligent Age" and is dedicated to five key themes.
