Russia bombed the rebels, together with the Syrian Air Force they were killing 200+ a day which would have mattered in a long war. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/syrian--russian-forces-eliminate-terrorist-units-in-coordina

"Over the past day, aircraft of the Russian armed forces and the Syrian air force carried out missile and bombing strikes on places of militants' accumulation and ammunition depots in the provinces of Idlib, Hama and Aleppo. Up to 200 terrorists, 15 armored combat vehicles, two MLRS, two mortars, 43 vehicles, nine motorcycles, 15 drones, two command posts, seven material depots were destroyed," Ignasyuk stated.

But they never had many forces on the ground (6000 personel in 2017, idk how many now), Iran/Hezbollah basically liberated the country last time.

The smart move for SAA would have been to retreat to a defensible position and then launch an insurgency against HTS. HTS is deemed a terrorist organisation and they do not enjoy the broad popular support like the Taliban do in Afghanistan, so they do not have the means for a protracted war or sustained conflict, meanwhile Russia can continue supplying SAA through the ports/airfields.

Wasn't just HTS, they were being attacked from rebels in 2 other directions, from the South and Southeast. The rebels in the south had simliarly negotiated with Assad, but just a couple days ago started their offensive towards Damascus. Meanwhile cities which Assad held for years in the last civil war fell in days to HTS.

The SAA didn’t abandon equipment like the Afghan Army did when Taliban advanced. The SAA seems to have retreated with their vehicles, there is no sign of a rout.

Some of it was salvaged by crossing into the Iraq border, but I've seen reports that it was also abandoned. https://x.com/adam7867863/status/1864306554314342850 https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/1865594048284680445

Edit:

It's official, Assad resigns. - Russian Foreign Ministry

^The map's creators are also biased (ua = Ukraine)

Edit: Pro-Syrian sources have posted similar territorial control though, its just I haven't found an alternative complete map. Take it with a grain of salt.

It is an old social democratic/socialist anti-colonial party allied with the ruling Ba'ath party.

The party calls for an undivided Syria, a popular demand of the Syria-Palestine population during the King Crane commission survey (conducted in 1919)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%E2%80%93Crane_Commission#Results_of_the_petitions_received

The party is famous for conducting suicide bombings against the Zionists. Half the suicide bombers were woman. It was founded in Lebanon where its armed wing (Eagles of the Whirlwind) is currently fighting the Zionists.

The party’s logo symbolizes the merging of the cross and the crescent into a new unit (the whirlwind).

Of the 6 ATACms, 5 were shot down and one was damaged, which hit a military warehouse in Karachev, Bryansk Oblast (over 110km/70 miles from border)

https://www.rt.com/russia/607877-bryansk-long-range-strike/

"These will only be used in Kursk region"

New Russian nuclear doctrine:

Article 11 ---> Attack by non-nuclear state aided by nuclear state is considered an aggressive act (ATACms need US officers)

Article 10 ---> If an aggressive act is committed by a member state of a military alliance, all parties of the military alliance are responsible. (Russia can strike any NATO country in response not just the US)

If you had these $20 decillion in the form of $1 bills, they would occupy 16 times the volume of the sun. In $100 bills it would be ~208,000* volume of Earth.

In terms of google's revenue of $250 billion it would take 8,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years to pay it all back, the current age of the universe is 13,800,000,000

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/10/29/russia-fines-google-25-decillion-over-youtube-bans-rbc-a86846 (wrong figure)

According to RBC’s sources, Google began accumulating daily penalties of 100,000 rubles in 2020 after the pro-government media outlets Tsargrad and RIA FAN won lawsuits against the company for blocking their YouTube channels. Those daily penalties have doubled each week, leading to the current overall fine of around 2 undecillion rubles.

Google also lost its assets in South Africa due to banning SPAS

Russian media, in turn, have appealed to courts in Turkey, Hungary, Spain, South Africa and other countries to recognize and enforce court decisions made against Google in Russia. In June, the High Court of the Republic of South Africa granted a motion to seize Google's assets in that country. This happened after the corporation failed to comply with a Moscow court order to restore the Russian TV channel Spas's YouTube account.

The group of countries invited to join the BRICS as "partner states" includes Turkey, Indonesia, Algeria, Belarus, Cuba, Bolivia, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Vietnam, Nigeria, and Uganda.

The BRICS countries have agreed to include 13 nations in the category of "partner states" in the association. However, the entry of these countries will not be made official during the summit. According to this definition, the Russian presidency will hold consultations with the partner countries to make membership of the BRICS official. The figure was confirmed earlier by Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov.

Pyongyang, October 22 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following press statement on Tuesday:

The reckless infringement upon the sovereignty of the DPRK by the ROK military gangsters is a hideous military provocation that can never be pardoned.

Seoul will have to experience at first hand so as to know properly how dangerous act it committed and how terrible and fatal the consequences it brought on itself are.

A military provocation against a nuclear weapons state may be led to horrible situation, unimaginable for politicians and military experts in any big or small country in the world with their normal thinking to experience. So, there will be no such instance except one recently made by lunatics of the ROK and Ukraine.

Such deed can be done only by lunatics in the Seoul and Kiev regimes.

Seoul and Kiev are exact counterparts in going about begging and letting loose reckless remarks against nuclear weapons states at random without follow-up capability.

It seems to be a common feature of bad dogs bred by the U.S.

The DPRK detective agencies' investigation into the drones from the ROK is going on and the truth behind the despicable provocation of the ROK military gangsters will be analyzed further in detail.

No one knows how our retaliation and revenge will be completed.

A lot of political motivational rubbish sent by the ROK scum was discovered and removed in many parts of the DPRK on October 21, too.

The brute courage of the Seoul authorities to jump into fire with brushwood on their backs, far from reflecting on their conducts and being prudent, will bring the danger of destruction of all the scum. And they will be denounced by everyone else. -0-

https://x.com/albersantin/status/1838587646282473868 When Lukashenko asked "What place does Marxism-Leninism occupy in this book on modern political economy?" when reviewing a new book for university students. He got the reply "first and most important"

Back in October 2022, Lukashenko met Dugin and described his trouble in creating a new ideology: https://m.eng.belta.by/president/view/lukashenko-talks-about-formation-of-state-ideas-153969-2022/

“It got me to look at your views and recall the philosophy I studied – the Marx-Lenin philosophy. Well, it's been some time. It turns out we have not created anything better than that. They say that Marxism-Leninism is bad. Be that as it may but we haven't created anything better than that. And it was an entire system of views. We don't have it these days,”

Dual-citizenship between Russia and Ukriane isn't a thing. Everyone in Russian-controlled territory has Russian passports now. Since July 1st 2024, those still holding Ukrainian passports are considered foreign nationals and at risk of deportation.

You can hold voting for a referendum? But no presidential election? Contradictory but whatever.

Furthermore Zelensky said that Russia should be invited to the next peace summit in November. No way he'll negotiate sensibly and it will still be for Ukraine's PR.

The majority of the world today says that Russia must be represented at the second summit, otherwise we will not achieve meaningful results,” he said, adding “since the whole world wants them to be at the table, we cannot be against it.”

Clownsky's just adjusting his tone to retain the western audience imo.

There's another one in the same rally and the cry Heroaim Slava. They also want to disclude Russia from the olympics. Finally the first logo on the bottom left corner in the image provided by OP is of the UNION OF UKRAINIANS OF FRANCE which is sympathetic of Stephan Bandera https://uduf.fr/

As to the OP mentioning, “I like how Putin clarified that Soviet Ukrainianization and indigenization of other areas of the USSR was not a bad policy in principle” I think this is best read as reactionary nationalist stuff. Basically that people of a culture should stick together, that there’s a duty to blood there, to preserving culture, to a commonality. You hear the same stuff from many reactionary thinkers.

How is it reactionary and nationalist to have a shared Belarussian, Ukrainian and Russian space where each national identity flourishes but is also interconnected? If Putin wants to live in harmony with Belarus or pre-maidan and to some extent post-maidan Ukraine instead of devouring them, where's the issue?

In the interview he also admitted the superiority of China and it's economy to Russia. He said that Russia is not much of a threat to US hegemony but China is. Having a population of 1.4B to Russia's 140m and growing at 5%, having the largest economy.

War is imminent but because of the south's provocations: https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/3188025

In the period from January to October this year alone, the puppet group of traitors committed more than 3 200 loudspeaker broadcasting provocations in the forefront area, more than 1 100 warships of the puppet army invaded the territorial waters of the DPRK for 1 270-odd times and reconnaissance planes intruded into the territorial air of the DPRK side over 150 times.

The U.S. nuclear carrier strike groups led by Nimitz, Ronald Reagan, etc., which carry the forces huge enough to carry out a full-scale war, made their appearances in the waters off the Korean peninsula three times.

The number of large-scale joint military drills, including Freedom Shield joint military exercises, Ssangyong joint landing drill and “combined joint fire annihilation drill”, staged by the U.S. in and around the Korean peninsula with Japan and the south Korean puppet forces in a bilateral and multilateral way as of now since the outset of this year, runs to over 60.

At present, U.S. nuclear strategic assets are deployed once every ten days and one warring side’s nuclear war drills precisely targeting the other side are staged once every five days in the area of the Korean peninsula. There is no such place on this planet..

It seems like they were significantly pushed back :/ according to https://israelpalestine.liveuamap.com/ and the IDF 3 hours before I posted (so 6 hours ago). Too early to tell though I think.

Wikipedia map is from yesterday, that was still impressive regardless.

It's been the other way arround, before 2015 they supported the DPRK, now they dont.
