There is no need for you to believe any rando because they posted on reddit or twitter. You'll find out for certain in time anyways
>>2392530>All I’m saying is that the Druze are murderous psychopaths who are an arm of the Israeli government as a proxy.That's true of the STG as well just replace Israel with Turkey and the US.
>The Druze are there to destroy southern Syria and ethnically cleanse the south for resettlement by Zionist settlers.And the STG is there to turn Syria into a buffet for Western corporations.
>The only correct “side” to take here is for a revolutionary Syrian working class army to be formed to disarm Druze and all and any factions not loyal to the Syrian working class revolutionaries.That would include the STG.
It's a piss vs shit war.
>>2392546I don't think they care either way. Whether Syria is Balkanized or united under a pro-Western
government makes no difference to them.
>>2392552>during the Yom Kippur war Israel was almost defeated Yeah by the Egyptians lmao. The Syrians never made it past Golan.
>>2392461>ISIS, Al Quesa, FSA, and HTS all bled into one another and had blurry/porous boundaries between themThis is an important thing that many people don't know and was why many people who knew their shit didn't trust any Islamist group no matter how "moderate" they were supposed to be.
Still, there are some groups that were very selective and toed some sort of party-line instead of inclusive vibes-based Jihadism, such as Hurras al-Din who had links to Al-Qaeda Central and followed their orders (this is why the US drone-striked lots of them after the fall of Assad, with HTS help/intel).
>>2392668>NATO cares that the oil and the rest of the trade keeps happening on their terms this is self contradictory. Israel is proving themselves to *the* destabilizing force in the region. how exactly does the flow of oil and money flow into western NATO pockets when Israel is starting another civil war NATO just wrapped up and won? doesn't make any sense.
>Those are slogans for the vootersthese are slogans for the countries NATO wants to have a color revolution in. Israel is fucking up democracies image everywhere. the USA is telling them they are pushing nations into the arms of China
>>2392763 (samefag)
More vids of convoys and gatherings vowing to go to Suwayda.
Unless the Syrian government decides to yolo a third time, these guys won't have drones, tanks, APCs or some sort of command organisation so they're most likely gonna lose. Especially if Israel decides to do airstrikes against them.
>>2392500>The Druze are massacring civilians by the anon who is always posting images of these things happening. Yeah probably. You can expect this sort of thing.
>Hamas never beheaded children or executed civiliansThey killed some civilians. They shot some when they saw them, set people's houses on fire and gunned them down as they ran out, and tied people hands behind their backs with zip ties and then blew their brains out. Normal stuff.
>>2392521>As soon as it got into power HTS began kissing Israel's ass and persecuting Palestinians and resistance factions operating in Syria. My question is whether HTS is going after Palestinian factions generally or is letting Hamas and Fatah operate while outlawing Palestinian factions that were controlled by Assad's glowies like the PFLP-GC.
>>2392611>account deleted lol>>2392631>the druze got himBut how they did that… that's the mystery of the Druze.
