Once again I leave for a few days and decades happen, in this case a 13-year civil war is ending (or another begins).
The theory that this is a backroom deal with the russian its not that insane since its basically the same thing that happened with the cuban missiles but in reverse: in that case we put a bunch of jupiter missiles in Turkey which could reach Moscow so the russians got understandably buttmad about so they deployed their own on Cuba, so after nearly unleashing a TOTAL RETARD WAR we agreed to remove the missiles over there if they removed the missiles over here. Needless to say castro got royally fucked in the deal and his position within the global communist royalty was never the same, it was clear to everybody that he was little more than a puppet.
Picrel: the cool looking but otherwise shitty jupiters:
Back to the current theory, given that Trump is ridiculously pro-Israel him giving Ukraine away to get rid of the last stone in Israel's shoe is a no brainer, nobody will care when we abandon Kiev just like we did Kabul, even less this time because its white people and not heckin' BIPOCs. Its very likely the israelis themselves pushed for this, the 2023 october kebabloo was a disaster but the bigger disaster was seeing the entire western left turn against them, all the minorities they supported biting the hand that feeds and even the always reliable fundies not caring anymore as most young conservatives are actually neutral or on the side of Palestine now. Meanwhile the number of jews in America is actually dwindling because secular jews as any other secular group barely breeds anymore, the only ones having kids are the useless poorer fundie jews who barely ever venture outside their self-imposed ghettos, even in israel itself. In terms of power here in America they're losing to newcomers like chinese and indians who are as nepotistic and power-hungry as they are. So its a race against the clock for israelis, they've to gain as much as they can while they still have the power and getting rid of its biggest frontier risk since Egypt its a must. Iran on the other hand has a combo of economic collapse and S.Korea levels of demographic contraction, plus losing their land bridge means pulling an invasion its next to impossible now, their airforce its museum-tier and its navy wont be allowed thru suez nor gibraltar, its over.
On one hand Assad seems like a retard for hitching his wagon to Iran and Russia instead of brokering a deal with Israel like Egypt did and get free money, but then consider we basically left our stooges like Mubarak and that clown in Tunisia to fall to the rebels in 2011, and Gaddafi who was trying to get closer to the west died like a bitch.
As for Syria's future, even if this new regime wasn't the same ol' flavor of camel shit islamism funded by gulf states the country its beyond wrecked and it would take untold billions just to get it back to the third world levels it had before. Odds are they just replaced their semi-secular dictator for a religious one, those fucking beards are Isis-tier, anyone who thinks this is gonna end well is chocking on copium.
Does this mean these sand niggers will finally fuck off now? Guys..? Tell me it will happen?

LMAO why would they? they got into the first world, get free money, free housing, and a get out of jail free card to predate on the locals, where else are they gonna get a deal as sweet as this?. There's also the fact that many of these people are downright useless and/or criminals. Its the problem with having an open door policy, you get the literal muck under the bottom of the barrel from other countries. The only people who leave their land on a whim are those who are already on the run with nothing to lose. The hard-working honest ones who have a job, a house and a family only leave when there's no other choice, and they don't pay smugglers then throw away their papers so they can't be ID'd like these fuckers did.
Much like Cuba in the 80's the middle east flushed its toilets on the west.
Nukes are without a doubt the single best invasion insurance on the planet.
The problem is they are useless against being blockaded/embargoed/sanctioned to hell and back and having glowies slowly but surely prodding at internal elements to collapse the regime, and the very act of acquiring them results in a country on the shitlist of Burgerland and Friends to shoot right to the top of "blockade/embargo/sanction/glowie NOW NOW NOW NOOOOOOOW" rankings, and thus they risk being turned into a suicidally expensive White Elephant which is why I suspect Iran may have been intentionally dragging its heels with this.
N.Korea only exists because of the gibs they get for having nukes. Just like Cuba they've nothing to export because communism destroyed what industry they had, lifting the sanctions wouldn't do shit, no western company is going to open a branch there. The reason Iran doesn't have a nuke yet is because they can't do it. They can't replicate a 60yo plane like the F-14 despite having fully working examples since it was brand-new. Making nukes its not easy specially when you can't test them without everybody else knowing which is another problem they have.
