The Syrian civil war is now 8 years old, as of January 26th, which is exactly how long I've been keeping track of it. I don't want to hijack the thread, so I'll put my comments in a spoiler.

I don't know a damn thing about football, or Pokemon, or whats going on with Game of Thrones, but I've been studying Syria in great detail since the very minute the internationalists declared war on a sovereign nation. The most fascinating thing is how this occupation has rolled out, the vast number of motivations of all the nation states involved, the gigantic role social media has played, plus the number of lies Western media has peppered against this country and their leadership. That's not to say I defend Bashar Al-Assad, I too consider him the textbook definition of a soft dictator, but I don't appreciate propagandists kicking the truth around like some kind of dead horse.

That's not to say "fake news" but the US media conglomerates are experts at telling 1 truth and 4 lies every time a big event happens in Syria. It's very rare nowadays that Syria is even mentioned, and I don't think 99% of Americans know where it is on a map. A giant desert state conceived and organized by European (mostly French) powers, roughly the size of North Dakota, and everybody wants to control a piece of it. While it is indeed a majority Arabic population, you can tell the French and the British had a huge influence in matters of civil engineering as well as educational and governmental structure. It is indeed quite a fascinating thing to see when you start discovering it, especially if you're familiar with France.

In a little less than 2 months, the nation of Syria will be celebrating their 100th anniversary. Two decades from now, it will probably still be occupied by the internationalists lead by the United States, France and Israel. While the Russians do have good intent for being there, they need to be careful about biting off more than they can chew because this could easily become an operation that may wind up crushing the Russian economy and affecting their projected force strength in other East Asian regions. The United States will be stuck in this nation for decades to come because withdrawing the troops, at this point, would trigger an International Great Depression era like the world has never seen before.

Sorry for the lengthy post, I've just been keeping track of this for a very long time and we've just crossed that 8 year mark. I'm not sure if they'll ever become a stable sovereign nation again but I do pray for the innocent civilians caught up in this mess, especially those who have lost loved ones.

Iranians are a joke as soon as they leave their own backyard. The Iranian Quds force is the most malnourished group of soldiers I've ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on (thanks to heavy pressure from international sanctions.) So long as we keep them isolated in their own country, and we don't have leadership stupid enough to call for invasion, they are only a threat via the use of paid mercenaries.

I've heard of many viral pandemics over the years, enough to come down with a bad case of normalcy bias. However, I can't figure out if the Chinese response is blown way out of proportion or if the disease is truly contagious and deadly enough to justify such a response. Entire cities shut down? 56+ million unable to move between regions? Governments weren't reacting in this fashion when it came to Ebola, SARS, Swine Flu or Zika. Then again, I'm not an epidemiologist and I sure as heck don't want to see anybody I know dying from this nasty virus. Whatever happens in China needs to stay in China and I hope them the best.

Ever hear of "Predictive Programming"? So Comedy Central seems to have made a skit about Kobe Bryant dying in a helicopter crash as depicted in a cartoon. Twitter user @quick17_ has pointed a lot of other things out but I don't know how to directly link his post on here. The best I can do is present this link from Alex Jones.

Strange, eh?
