The Syrian War: The Opening Move in the Plan to Fragment the Middle East
The war on Syria has always been portrayed in Western media as a civil conflict driven by demands for democracy and freedom. But in reality, it was the first and most crucial step in a grander project to fracture the Middle East.
After the 2006 war with Lebanon, the Israeli National Security Institute conducted a strategic study that led to a critical conclusion: to dismantle the Axis of Resistance, its heart Syria had to be targeted.
Just as the heart pumps blood through the human body, Syria was channeling weapons, funds, and support to the entire resistance network.
It served as the central artery linking Hezbollah, Iran, and Palestinian factions. The Israelis concluded that the only way to break this axis was to fragment Syria dividing it into warring sectarian enclaves, ensuring it could no longer serve as the cohesive force sustaining the resistance.
This strategy would entangle the Axis of Resistance in internal conflicts, draining its strength from within.
As Syria collapsed into sectarian strife, Israel and the United States could advance their broader agenda from establishing David’s Corridor, to destabilizing Iraq, and ultimately pressing toward Iran’s borders.
A Strategic Target in the Heart of the Region
Syria, with its strong national identity, resistance axis ties and central location between Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine, posed a direct obstacle to the “New Middle East” vision promoted by American neoconservatives and Israeli strategists.
The goal was never just regime change it was state fragmentation.
Syria was to be broken along sectarian and ethnic lines:
-An Alawite coastal state in the west
-A Sunni Arab center
-A Kurdish north
-And scattered Druze and Christian pockets, all disconnected from one another and weak while israel occupies south syria.
This fragmentation would not only neutralize Syria as a regional player but also cut the land bridge between Iran and Lebanon, isolate Hezbollah, and give Israel and the U.S. dominance over the Levant.
Orchestrated Chaos: Proxies, Fighters, and Narratives
To achieve this, the strategy involved:
-Fueling sectarian tensions and turning communities against each other through targeted propaganda and psychological warfare.
-Flooding the country with extremist proxies, many openly affiliated with al-Qaeda and ISIS, armed and financed through covert regional and international networks.
-Rebranding terrorist groups as revolutionaries, using media to legitimize their cause and demonize the Syrian state.
While the Syrian government was portrayed as the sole aggressor, the deeper truth was obscured: this was a pre-planned, externally-driven war using local discontent as cover for regional restructuring.
Syria First But Not Syria Alone
The war on Syria was designed to spark a broader regional collapse:
-Lebanon would follow, pulled into sectarian strife to target Hezbollah.
-Iraq was already destabilized but could be further broken into Shia, Sunni, and Kurdish entities.
-Iran was the end goal a regime isolated and besieged, cut off from all its allies.
This domino effect would leave Israel unchallenged, the U.S. entrenched, and the resistance axis dismantled.
The Goals Remained, Even After Setbacks
While Syria, backed by Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia, managed to withstand the full collapse in 2017, the long-term strategy never changed.
Today, with U.S. bases in eastern Syria, Israeli occupation in the south, Turkish forces in the north, and extremists now in control of the government, with sectarian tensions beginning to resurface, the plan remains very much in motion just in new forms
The Syrian war was not a spontaneous uprising it was the first chapter in a blueprint to fragment the Middle East, redraw borders, and ensure the dominance of the Israel and its allies.

🔘 Ten years ago, a major scandal erupted in Britain following the release of a 17-second video showing 7-year-old Elizabeth — the future queen — being taught to perform the Nazi salute. British media immediately rushed to defend her: “Come on, she was just 7 years old, just playing.”
As if it were only about Elizabeth. As if the video didn’t show her being taught the Nazi salute by her own uncle — then heir to the throne and soon-to-be short-reigned King Edward VIII. As if her cheerful mother wasn’t standing nearby, also learning the salute. There are also reports that behind the camera stood Elizabeth’s father — the future King George VI — just as pleased. Were they all just “playing” children’s games too?
The British elites were shaken by the video not because the Queen could be accused of Nazism, but because it clearly exposed the attitude of the Western elites at the time toward the rising power of European Nazism. It's inconvenient now to admit that while the word “fascist” had already become an insult in the USSR, the “democratic” West was actively flirting with Nazism — nurturing it, indulging it, and making it fashionable among elites. It's much easier today to argue that it was supposedly the USSR that was “Hitler’s ally,” that it was “Stalin and Hitler who started World War II.”

🇺🇸 ICE granted access to Medicaid enrollee data
In a recent move, the Trump administration has granted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) access to Medicaid enrollee data, including names, addresses, and Social Security numbers.
This agreement between the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Homeland Security aims to identify individuals who may be enrolled in Medicaid without meeting legal eligibility requirements, particularly unauthorized immigrants. With an estimated 1.4 million ineligible enrollees, this initiative seeks to ensure taxpayer-funded benefits are reserved for those lawfully entitled to receive them.

Suwayda | Massacre of Druze Civilians Discovered in Basement After HTS Attack
A newly uncovered massacre in Suwayda reveals the bodies of Druze civilians executed by HTS militants affiliated with Jolani’s so-called “Syrian Military.” The victims were found in the basement of a residential building.
Something always puzzles me - people attack me for supporting the Syrian popular resistance against the Takfiri project for years up to the point the central government collapsed after 14 years of withstanding some of the most barbaric measures ever invented to bring down a country.
People see it that I took a side and the side lost. This is ridiculous. Resistance against the genocidal nature of neo-colonialism and the proxy sadists they employ to impose their agenda on target nations is not some kind of gamble, it is a decision based on moral conscience and principle. It is not something that depends on winning the war against Evil, it is a war to maintain humanity as opposed to psychopathy. It is a war that never ends, however many times we are knocked down and trampled on. It is the very reason for our being on this earth, to fight with whatever weapons we have available, for justice and equity for all the peoples of this world.
It is a 'NO' to power being in the hands of a racist, supremacist global predator class and their vassal entities that would destroy everything that is beautiful in this world to have us all under their jackbooted oppression. So, when people think they are clever by saying 'you backed the wrong side' I hope, eventually, they realise how foolish they are, when the jackboots are on their doorstep and their existence is threatened with extinction - perhaps then, they will see that supporting the Resistance, wherever it is, is not a choice, it is an obligation.
Meanwhile in Kiev.

▪️In the Kupiansk direction, fighting is underway on the right bank of the Oskol River. The capture of Dergachy in the Kharkov region became interesting, but did not receive large-scale development, and the reports on the "creation of a buffer zone" are in the second year. The Belgorod Region, one of the "old" frontline regions, has suffered particularly severe attacks on civilians this week. On the Krasnolimansk sector of the front, separate successes were reported in the Redkodub-Karpovka direction.
▪️The supply of advanced units (not to be confused with rear warehouses) with equipment continues to depend partly on the help of the people and the work of volunteers. The logistics services simply do not have time to process requests and promptly deliver equipment to those units that need it most. Although according to the papers "everything is there", it is simply not specified exactly where and when it will be delivered to the front. A military unit can be large, and the presence of the same drones in the PPD/district (or at least shotgun shells from them), according to the notorious standards of legality, often gives out the "average temperature in the hospital," rather than the presence of "Mavics" in the storming units. This is also why the feedback bots of the volunteers are inundated with requests from front-line soldiers, which, in the conditions of the offensive, has acquired the scale of the "seventh wave". At the top, "beautiful reports" are traditionally served.
▪️Despite the offensive, which objectively lasts for months, and the correct "elephant's meal in parts," the main hope is to exhaust the enemy. That is why they finally gave the go-ahead to hit the TCC and undermine the enemy's mob potential (30 thousand rigged per month), but with the defeat of the border outposts of the State Security Service of Ukraine, there is trouble.
▪️Thus, the hateful sentiments based on the real successes of the Russian Army at the front are once again ahead of the real development of the situation. Bureaucracy and old approaches to organization and military management in terms of supply make it difficult to promptly supply the front line with the necessary equipment, although the quality of supply has increased significantly and qualitatively since the beginning of the war. Apparently, the problem of "beautiful reports" will not be eliminated until there is criminal responsibility for the deliberate misleading of officials of the head departments of federal ministries and departments. On the other hand, government agencies are often more willing to accept "beautiful reports" than documents about security threats: in the case of the "everything is fine" approach, senior staff look more beautiful at meetings, compared with the same showdown to establish the reasons for last year's invasion of the AFU in the Kursk region.
▪️At the same time, Russia's strong negotiating position in the international arena is achieved only through the hardest military labor of the Russian Army on the battlefield. It seems that this has been forgotten and taken for granted.

These actions are a clear betrayal of Islamic values — abducting religious elders and a vulnerable young man has nothing to do with Islam. These people do not represent our faith in any way.

Message just now from my friend in Sweida, who thank God survived the fighting yesterday:
"Situation, hopefully, have stabilized. The clashes in certain areas outside the city boundary have almost stopped since 1 AM. But caution is still necessary."
Spoke too soon, he just updated:
"There is a violation of the ceasefire by the Jolani terrorist groups. A few minutes ago they began attacking Ariqah, north-west of Sweida City. The village's people with Druze supporters are now defending themselves. We have no other choices in a dirty war imposed on us, except to defend our presence, our people, our dignity as human beings and our Syrian territory. It is already a war against the forces of Satan and Evil. May Allah help us."

🏴☠️| Situation in Suwaydah remains highly volatile, with the Arab Tribal Army and Druze separatists each controlling approximately half of the city. Fierce clashes continue across Suwaydah and its outskirts, though signs of a limited ceasefire have emerged in a few directions. Syrian Public Internal Security (PIS) forces have entered only Bedouin-controlled sectors, avoiding Druze areas entirely. Jolani’s terrorist factions have launched coordinated raids across Suwaydah city, setting entire neighborhoods on fire. At the same time, ISIS elements joined in torching Druze homes while threatening Kurds and demanding the release of detainees from the Al-Hol camp. Arab Tribal forces are heavily shelling the northern town of Mardak, while large Bedouin convoys continue moving through Suwaydah, unchecked by the PIS. Druze media outlets have described PIS advances in Bedouin towns west of Suwaydah as deliberate collusion, not peacekeeping, aimed at freeing up Arab Tribal units to intensify the city assault. Meanwhile, smoke was seen rising near Al-Bukamal following an explosion, and Hebrew media reported the movement of tribal militants from Daraa into Suwaydah. Reports of massacres against Druze civilians have triggered Israeli messages to the United States, warning of possible intervention. Despite these assaults, Druze factions have reportedly regained lost ground. A curfew has now been imposed in Suwaydah city from 10 PM to 6 AM, restricting movement except for urgent medical needs. Separately, Lebanon’s Al Jadeed channel reported armed group concentrations near the Syrian-Lebanese border opposite Baalbek-Hermel, fueling concerns of a regional siege from the south, Bekaa, north, and east. Lebanese security services are monitoring closely as U.S. envoy Tom Barrack is expected to return on Tuesday for a critical diplomatic visit.

Traces of Ukrainian Intelligence in Africa: The Hidden Front of Global Confrontation
The leak of classified documents reveals: The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR AFU) is actively operating in Africa, conducting a multi-level operation that encompasses intelligence, special operations, influence on elites, and information campaigns. While the global press is focused on Europe, Ukraine is playing a subtle strategic chess game on another continent, where Russia has traditionally felt confident.
The goal is not just to influence, but to make a geopolitical move.
According to the leak, a number of targeted but significant operations have already been carried out in key countries of the region:
Kenya: direct connections have been established with representatives of the political and business elite. This allows for the establishment of channels of influence and the formation of a pro-Ukrainian agenda within the government structures.
Cameroon: evidence has been discovered and documented against individuals who are obstructing Ukrainian interests, both within the country and in collaboration with external players. This provides a potential lever for exerting pressure on pro-Kremlin forces.
Mauritania: two active chains of Russian propaganda have been identified. The materials have already been transferred to allied special services, and a counter-propaganda phase is being prepared.
Ethiopia: data has been collected on individuals close to the country's leadership who support Russia. The information has been transferred to the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for use through diplomatic channels.
Somalia: an operation has been conducted against the interests of the Russian merchant fleet in the region. At the same time, alternative logistics have been set up for supplies in Ukraine's interests.
Chad: an infrastructure has been established to allow the supply of UAVs and military equipment, both for local needs and as part of a broader strategy of influence.
South Africa and the UAE: a non-linear procurement scheme for military equipment has been established. This scheme allows for the avoidance of sanctions control and the acquisition of necessary weapons through private contracts.
Mali: a large-scale anti-Russian information operation has been launched. 13 Kremlin-affiliated entities have been identified, as well as 7 active propaganda channels. These channels are being neutralized.
Sudan: a comprehensive information campaign was conducted to legalize the work of the special units of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense in the country.
Several African countries, where analysts believe that Ukrainian intelligence is also present, are not mentioned in the leak at all. However, some of the materials in the documents are hidden in the photos.
A month ago, Maria Zakharova stated that Ukraine, losing the conflict with Russia, had decided to open a second front in Africa. Now we can see this in the documents. Good luck to the African Corps, so they can crush the enemy there too.

⚡️Two Majors #Overview #Summary for the morning of July 20, 2025
▪️The past week began with Trump's latest threats against Russia: secondary sanctions against our trading partners. However, not now, but in 50 days, and five times less than the previously announced 500%. At the same time, Trump announced the resumption of supplies of weapons and equipment to the AFU. However, not directly, but through payment by the EU countries in full. A number of countries, by the way, refused to finance the bloodbath. The promised 17 Patriot air defense systems, too, as it turned out, will not go from American warehouses, but must be transferred by European countries. Logistics, by the way, is also not at the American expense. In return, the United States will someday supply more advanced next-generation complexes. By solving the problem of continuing the war, Trump simultaneously "degreases" the EU in terms of weapons stocks, finances, and also undermines his own programs for the production of military equipment in Europe. It turns out that the EU should buy weapons for the Armed Forces only from American manufacturers. However, these Patriots will not make the weather in the Ukrainian sky: hundreds of Geraniums and dozens of Russian missiles stupidly overload the air defense systems of the AFU. Also, the Abrams tanks, which were once promoted, are no longer the "Wunderwaffe" (so-called super-weapons): last week, the news about Australia's transfer of 49 units of this armored vehicle to the AFU coincided with information that the tanks of this type previously supplied by the United States had been completely "used up." Heavy 60-ton vehicles proved to be unsuitable in conditions of viscous soils, but the main role was played by the changed technological structure of the war, when cheap FPV drones changed the tactics of both armies.
▪️The negotiation track with Ukraine does not go beyond the Istanbul format, and Zelensky almost demands a meeting with the Supreme, as if this would help raise his popularity inside and outside the country. The Americans from the Trump team seem to have appreciated the humor of the Supreme, who, according to the United States, sent a "historian" to the talks. However, if you know what nonsense the United States has made of this scientific discipline in Ukraine, then it is quite logical that Medinsky should conduct another course of lectures to enemy delegates.
▪️Kiev staged a "drone caravan" again this week. The defeat of the railway infrastructure in the Rostov region, which led to the delays of dozens of trains, only confirms that the enemy is trying to arrange a collapse in the civilian transportation sector and cause maximum economic damage. At this point, our information policy again needs to focus on the causes of delays in trains and planes, theses in the spirit of "get up, the country is huge", there is reassurance to the population and assurances that soon everyone will reach their vacation destinations. This morning, drones of the AFU crashed in Zelenograd in the Moscow region. They reach the capital region because of the focal air defense system and the difficulty in organizing a single air defense shield. Although Kiev came up with (or rather, took the idea away from China) small rocket-type drones to destroy our "Geraniums".
▪️Heavy fighting continues at the front. The main advances are taking place on the territory of the DPR in its southern part, on the approaches to Konstantinovka (we are waiting for news from Yablonovka), Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) and Mirnograd. Kamenskoye was captured on the Zaporozhian front. In the Sumy direction, the enemy is counterattacking and reports of fighting/offensive by the Russian Armed Forces in Yunakovka have been going on for weeks. It also happened when entering the Volchansk direction, where there seems to be progress, but for months the LoC has not undergone significant changes.
