Previously: Russia and Iran Couldn’t Have Saved Syria
After the fall of Syria, popular game show host Donald Trump claimed on the internet that this had happened because Vladimir Putin stopped supporting Syria.
It’s one of the worst internet posts I’ve ever seen. If one wanted to respond to all of that, it would be difficult to know where to start.
But to the point that Putin dumped Syria – this is clearly false. Russia would not simply abandon their main outpost in the Middle East.
This was a massive loss for Russia, which is trying to maintain global influence, to normalize and become an efficient trade partner with various countries. Aside from raw resources, what they are offering to these countries is security. This is a major proposition of Russia’s foreign policy. They took care of Syria from 2015 until this weekend, they sell weapons to various countries, they have this new deal with North Korea, they helped multiple African states throw off their oppressors, and most importantly, they have a big mutual defense pact with China. Security is the core element of the Russian global brand.
So, it definitely was not something Russia would have preferred to happen.
People are thus claiming that Russia failed somehow. I wrote yesterday that once this terror march started on November 27, it simply is not a reality that Russia would have been able to send in reinforcements on that timeframe.
In response to that, people are now claiming that Russia should have had intelligence telling them this would happen.
Here’s the question: what would the intelligence even be?
Everyone knew that the terrorists were organized in the country, everyone knew the generals and governors were totally corrupt, everyone knew Turkey wanted to take some land in the north to resettle their refugees. Those are the reasons this happened. An offensive could have happened at any time, frankly, but Assad was telling everyone there was no problem.
Assad kicked out the Iranians (and to some extent kept Hezbollah at arm’s length) because his army of street sluts felt uncomfortable with Shiite religious men in the country. This is literally true, not some kind of exaggeration for effect.
Assad was ridiculous, and the country is ridiculous. The state was anti-religious. That’s why he was constantly parading around his wife in slut clothes, violating core Islamic values. When you don’t have religion, these people become total gutter scum, and do nothing but scam. All of the generals and governors were completely, absurdly corrupt, and that is what caused this collapse.
The Baathist countries produce the absolute worst scum on earth. These people who overthrew the government through mass bribery are now allowing Israel to march on Damascus. They’re out executing civilians while refusing to even comment on Israel literally rolling towards the country’s capital.

How would Russia have better intelligence than Assad on what was going on with the generals and local officials in Syria?
This isn’t a trick question: what would the intelligence even be?
When we think of “intelligence,” we typically think of spies and informants passing information in the old school manner, using hacking or other methods to get access to digital information, and then satellites. These are the core intelligence gathering methods: HUMINT, SIGINT, GEOINT.
If they had been totally on point with all of this, how would they have predicted this cascading collapse of Syria?
From all accounts, Turkey didn’t even think this would happen. They wanted to take Aleppo because they want to put those millions of refugees somewhere.
Logically, Turkey wouldn’t even want what happened to happen because it’s going to be total chaos and the refugees are all going to come marching back into Turkey.
It was a cascading collapse. There was no analysis that predicted this, and I don’t think it would be possible for intelligence to predict it, especially given that the Turks would have only been talking about invading the north to resettle refugees.
Furthermore: what is Russia supposed to do with a country whose military won’t fight? They could come in and force them to do targeted assassinations of corrupt officials (because Assad wouldn’t do it), but that would be a massive operation that would take years, not something you do in a week.
It is simply ridiculous to blame Russia for this, and it’s a narrative from the Jewish media. There are Jewish shills all over the internet making these claims.
The Syrians themselves are not blaming Russia, but instead blaming… Iran.
But that might be because every Syrian pro-Assad account I see on Twitter is a woman.
Woman, duckface went out with JNCOs. Don’t do that. Please.
I’m sure the girl who runs the “Syrian Girl” account is a nice person. But I think we can all understand why she doesn’t like Iran.
Regardless of all this bullshit, the Russian brand shall prevail.
When Russia finishes the Ukraine war, they will have defeated NATO, and no one will remember Syria.
I’m Not a Russian Shill
Okay, I might be a Russian shill, but all I do is respond to what I see. Right now, I see the US government (and Donald Trump) pushing the narrative that Syria’s fall is Putin’s fault, and then I see right-wingers going around saying the same thing.
No one will explain what the hell Russia could have done to prevent this. Assad could not manage for a single week. How the hell is Russia supposed to prop up such a government? What resources would it require, when the US is willing to dump infinity money into terrorist groups, Turkey is a bordering nation willing to launch an invasion, and the Syrians won’t take aid from Iran because it makes women uncomfortable?
This is an absurd narrative. It is exactly as accurate as Trump’s statement that 600,000 Russians have died in the Ukraine.
