Israel violated the terms of a 1974 agreement by rolling its tanks across the Syrian border — less than 40 miles from Damascus.

    Seeing this move should’ve immediately sent Hezbollah to break the ceasefire, at least if they’re interested in not letting Israeli forces flank their metaphorical Maginot line by going through a neutral-but-defenseless country.

        I mean they should’ve started their attacks on Tel Aviv and northern settlements again to draw the IDF into a fight on their southern flank. though with said flank under defended by Israelis ATM they could probably kick them out of the remaining occupied towns in S. Lebanon.

        They wouldn’t need to engage in Syria beyond maybe cross border attacks on IDF troops and convoys if they were taking this threat seriously. Either way it’s clear Israel intends to bypass the southern fortresses and break the ceasefire deal very soon

    So who are the judges, you ask? Who are they all! How to call those people, countries that invade foreign and countries, which have their own way of life, traditions, way of thinking, a different understanding of life… I want to ask

    Why do you always say: dictator, murderer, enslaver, etc. What can you theorists know about this? Do you even know how people lived under Saddam Hussein, the most developed medicine, complete tolerance of religion, there were no Islamic states, Houthis, etc., one of the highest standards of living and its quality in the region, the same thing happened in Libya during the time of Gaddafi, Muammar’s state flourished and what is happening now in both states? Islamist’s, states torn to shreds, complete lawlessness… Should I continue… China?! How is this not a dictatorship? And that your computers are made in China, iPhones, cars… nothing?!

    Were you in Syria in 1995? Of course not and you don’t know or wouldn’t want to know how they lived, and they lived very well, better than now, for example, the Baltic countries, etc. Dictator, dictator… You have to think sometimes!

      If anyone wants to know how to spot when someone has a clear and extreme bias, one can spot it very clearly in the comment above.

      When someone lists a group’s (religion, race, ethnicity) existence as a negative along with things like “lawlessness, state torn to shreds”, you now have a firm understanding of who they’re willing to dehumanize to make their points.

      Before Gadaffi, the largest portion of the Libyan economy came from scrapping abandoned WWII era tanks. It was absolutely miserably poor and underdeveloped.

        Was there? Have you seen all this yourself?! Don’t talk nonsense. Еverything was fine with them, they lived as they could and as they wanted… What now? You are the judge who gave you the right to judge.
