One Plan To Guide Them All: “…..The dissolution of Syria and Iraq... into ethnically or religiously unique areas… is Israel’s primary target… while the dissolution of the military power of those states serves as the primary short-term target. Syria will fall apart in accordance with its ethnic and religious structure… Oded Yinon, A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties, voltairenet
Israeli military forces have moved to within 15 miles of the Syrian Capital of Damascus. The IDF has seized large tracts of land in southern Syria it intends to occupy and where it will eventually build checkpoints, military outposts and settlements. The “lightening” invasion has been accompanied by a massive bombing campaign that has obliterated numerous military bases, weapons depots and research labs eliminating any hope that Syria will regain the ability to defend itself or to reestablish its sovereign independence. For all practical purposes, Syria no longer exists; the persistent attacks of foreign enemies have left the country vanquished and splintered. The carve-up of the critically located nation-state has already begun.
At the same time the IDF is closing in on Damascus, US Forces along the Turkish border have started building a military base in the city of Kobani.The move is intended to provoke Turkey into a confrontation that will pit Washington’s Kurdish proxy militia against the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA). The situation is fraught with danger as it increases the likelihood that two NATO members will soon clash in northeastern Syria.
…Bottom line: Washington’s support for the Kurds (aka- the SDF) has allowed a US proxy to control both the oil-rich parts of Syria as well as Syria’s breadbasket where most of its wheat is harvested. This loss of revenue—along with onerous US economic sanctions—pushed the country into bankruptcy which greatly accelerated the collapse of the state and the removal of Assad. This was a big “win” for the US, Turkey, Qatar and other western allies, but mostly for Israel upon whose regional aspirations the overall strategy is based. Keep in mind, that everything that has taken place aligns closely with a strategic blueprint produced by a Zionist intellectual (Oded Yinon) more than four decades ago who concocted “an accurate and detailed plan….for the Middle East which is based on the division of the whole area into small states, and the dissolution of all the existing Arab states.”
Here is an insightful comment under the linked article with another take:
Israel has walked into a trap designed by Iran and the Axis of Resistance. A trap that would have been obvious to any sane and rational entity. The genocidal entity is high on their own supply and cannot understand that they are marching toward their own doom the deeper they entrench themselves in Syria.
I don’t know if this gambit was ever part of Soleimani’s grand strategy, but it might as well have been, especially after Russia refused to take Idlib and compromised with Turkey. It was certainly clear to him and other Resistance leaders that Assad was not going to ever become a full member of the Axis, nor was he ever going to allow Iran to attack Israel from Syrian territory.
Most Western observers are unable to see or understand this, but Syria was a lost cause the moment Hafez Assad passed away and Bashar was selected to replace him. He never wanted the job, nor did he have any proper political education or military background. He was easily manipulated by Western forces and never heeded Iranian advice, such as when he agreed to withdraw Syrian forces from Lebanon, giving Israel and the anti-Hezbollah forces in Lebanon a gift early on.
Iran always knew Assad was a weak link, but gave him many chances and opportunities to turn against the West and join the Resistance. He refused many times to allow the IRGC to train and equip Alawite and Christian militias that would be totally loyal to the Resistance, as was done in Iraq with the PMU. He never listened when Soleimani and other Iranian leaders told him that he needed to learn from the mistakes of past leaders like Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was distant from his own subjects and allowed his government to become fully autocratic and beholden to Zionist machinations.
The irony in all this is that Iran was always his greatest ally and yet he sought to keep Iran at a distance, preferring to listen to Russia and the Persian Gulf regimes. Even at the very end, with the barbarians literally at the gates, Iran still offered to help save the Syrian Arab Republic from total destruction, but in a rare moment of lucidity he told them that there was no point, as his own military had abandoned him. He realized all too late that his perfidy against Iran with Saudi Arabia and the GCC had been a catastrophic mistake, that in his betrayal of Iran, he himself had been betrayed and sold out by the Arabs.
Iran always has contingencies and where possible, it prefers to allow its enemies to destroy themselves rather than involve itself directly in direct conflict. People are easily fooled by what turn uot of be pyrrhic victories, which is the only kind of victory the United States and Israel are capable of achieving. These two terrorist entities are so blinded by their genocidal bloodlust and hegemonic delusions of grandeur that they walked right into a quagmire exactly as Iran had expected them to.
And amazingly, rather than realize their mistake, they are digging themselves in even further. They are really that stupid. Iran needs them to think they are winning, which is precisely why Hezbollah agreed to the ceasefire, to give Israel the opportunity to step into the quagmire, and why Iran has delayed responding to Israel. We are only just beginning to witness the grand strategy of the Axis of Resistance unfolding, but the godless Zionists are completely blind to what is obvious to any keen observer.
Israel is destroying itself and it is inevitable that American imperialism and terrorism in West Asia will come to an end. They have always been their own worst enemies.
