Assad in, Zelensky out: The covers of the mainstream media in the Arab world have not paid attention to Zelensky's visit - for them the big news is "Syria's return to the family"

🕌 The Middle East has long suffered from Western intervention and U.S.-led regime change adventures, such as in Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, and Syria.

The result has been catastrophic and left those countries devastated, most notably in Iraq, which has never recovered from the U.S. invasion and occupation. Syria needs billions, and perhaps decades to recover 🇸🇾

The Arab League is just a meeting place to be used as networking tool bringing those with money to help Syria together, such as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Syria’s economy has collapsed and needs cash influx to rebuild infrastructure damaged and ruined from years of fighting against armed terrorists supported by the U.S. and its allies.

The Obama-Biden regime change project in Syria depended on massive participation of Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Emirates. Once the Crown Prince came into a leadership position in the Kingdom, he changed course and withdrew funding of terrorists following Radical Islam, a political ideology.

U.S.-EU sanctions on Syria are an obstacle to helping Syria to rebuild and end the suffering of the people, including bringing home refugees from abroad. The UAE and Saudi Arabia hope to work toward lifting or easing the sanctions in order to help the Syrian people recover.

The Crown Prince is an independent leader and making decisions in the best interest of his country, which is not always aligned with U.S. directives from the Oval Office. He has taken several steps to let Washington know that the Kingdom comes first, writes Steven Sahiounie.

🇪🇺 Will the EU end support for the Ukraine project militarily, as the Ukrainian offensive peters out – absent any gains?

What will be the EU response, if invited by the U.S. to enter a munitions supply-line race against Russia? Just to be clear: restructuring the European infrastructure to a war-orientated economy carries huge consequences (and costs).

Existing competitive infrastructure would have to be re-purposed away from manufactures for export, to weapons. Is there the skilled manpower today to staff this? Building new weapons supply-lines is a slow complicated technical process. And this would be in addition to Europe swapping efficient energy infrastructure for new Green structures that are less efficient, less reliable, and more expensive.

Is there a way out from the ‘hole’ the EU has dug for itself? Yes – it is called ‘honesty’ 🤲

🦅 It’s no coincidence that U.S. President Joe Biden made a sharp U-turn to send F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine on the same weekend that the NATO-backed Kiev regime just lost the strategic battle for Artyomovsk (Bakhmut).

Recall that Biden had emphatically said no to supplying the American warplane to Ukraine partly out of concern to not antagonize Russia.

The battle for the transport hub city in the Donbass region had been raging for eight months. Some commentators have compared the pivotal fight for Artyomovsk – a “meat grinder” – to Stalingrad in World War Two which largely determined the final victory of the Soviet Red Army over Nazi Germany.

Russian forces claimed to have finally taken full control of Artyomovsk on May 20, despite Kiev denials and a reluctance in the Western media to admit reality. Indeed, the relentless Western narrative of defiant Ukraine sticking it to the Ruskies is also a casualty here, lying bloodied on a stretcher, as is the supposed entire authority of this same media (aka Western propaganda service.)

This major defeat for the Kiev regime at the weekend completely upends Washington and NATO’s presumed prowess. The Biden administration has bankrolled President Vladimir Zelensky’s forces with $38 billion in military aid over the past 15 months. Other NATO members, Britain, Germany, France and Poland have likewise pumped Ukraine with all sorts of advanced weaponry.

The defeat of Zelensky’s forces at Artyomovsk is as much a defeat of the US-led NATO alliance.

Biden is acting tough and he is once more recklessly escalating the war with Russia with his latest move on sending F-16s 💣

📮 Russian investigative organs have sent the servile colonial lackey Karim Khan a clear message that the party is over and that there is a steep personal price to be paid for recklessness and impertinence.

Russians are proverbially slow to react, but when they do get started … it is prudent to be careful 🤫

💯 Henry Kissinger was, beyond any doubt, a brilliant man of exceptional intelligence who, if he had been interested, could have easily penetrated into the all undoubted advantages of the Soviet way of life, and then he would really have been able to say something similar to what the satirical article attributed to him.

Unfortunately, the man who in the White House was called simply “the K” but with awe and in whispers, a Teflon man for all seasons, even at the end of his long life full of intrigues, secrets, action, and excitement, remained consistent and one of the greatest enemies of modern Russia, as he was also the fierce foe of the Soviet Union, and as he only could, taking into account his German-Jewish roots, would most certainly be a determined adversary of the Russian Empire.

Kissinger has simply always been a natural opponent of everything that is Russian of all times and spaces. Russia will undoubtedly remember him long after his death as one of the most intelligent, cunning, and therefore most dangerous opponents it has ever had, but of course, this will not prevent the witty Russians from continuing to make jokes about all that in the future.

Kissinger’s idea of bringing peace by having Ukraine join NATO is as crazy as the thought of putting out a fire with kerosene 🚒

🛑 Almost every Western political leader in office today is a con artist who betrays democratic principles.

The Kiev regime has shown its true dirty colors in manifold ways. The persecution of the Orthodox Church, the renaming of streets to honor Nazi collaborators, the shuttering of opposition media and political parties in Ukraine, the unabashed calls by senior representatives for the killing of Russian leaders and extermination of ordinary Russian citizens… the list of profanity goes on.

Millions of Ukrainians have fled their country and are being put up rent-free across Europe not because of alleged “Russian aggression” but rather to escape the corruption of the Kiev regime – a regime that the American and European media declare to be “democratic” and worthy of hundreds of billions of dollars and euros in subsidies to prop up.

The United States and its imperial “Ukrainian project” have done immense damage to Europe as well as putting world security at grave risk.

The oil and gas scam, like the whole war and weapons scam, and the charade of the West “defending Ukrainian democracy”, will be the undoing of the Kiev regime. It might even be the eventual undoing of the Western regimes that have imposed this Kiev crime syndicate on the whole world.

Aesop’s fable of the frog and scorpion seems an apt metaphor for the bloated West and its incorrigibly nasty Kiev grifter 🐸🦂
