Middle East War Briefing

[GURPS]

Ha! I told you so. Buried in yesterday’s NBC News article headlined, “Syria thrust back into civil war as its allies focus on other fronts,” was this nugget about the weekend’s surprise attack by rebels in Syria, which I have called the new front in the Proxy War. First, look at this surprising question NBC just slipped into the middle of the paragraph:



There it was! Like an overnight Amazon Prime package, a new narrative, delivered right on schedule. But … why should the U.S. get involved? Amongst all the various byzantine explanations for the new Syrian conflict, what suggests any possible U.S. interest?

When I first reported this story, I speculated that the U.S. had secretly started the conflict using its captive Muslim terrorist groups. I guessed it was the latest front in the Proxy War, since plans to let Ukraine launch missiles deep into Russian territory have abruptly fallen through. (Russia’s new super-weapon makes direct U.S. involvement too risky. The U.S. is directly involved in Ukraine’s missile launches since America must provide the launch codes and satellite guidance coordinates.)

For full disclosure, the warbloggers I normally follow have not connected Syria to the Proxy War. They seem to think the dispute is related to some kind of grudge between Turkey’s President Erdogan and Syria’s President Assad. But to me, this kind of overly-simplistic, personality-centric conflict analysis is another red flag for deep-state narrative hijinx.

In a statement released by video on Sunday morning, Netanyahu said that the agreement, hashed out in 1974 by Israel and former leader Hafez al-Assad’s regime, “collapsed” on Saturday night because the “Syrian army abandoned its positions.”
The reason Israel seized the territory is because “we have to take action against possible threats” caused by the power vacuum left by the Assad regime’s collapse, he said.

“We gave the Israeli army the order to take over these positions to ensure that no hostile force embeds itself right next to the border of Israel,” the prime minister added. “This is a temporary defensive position until a suitable arrangement is found.”

Netanyahu said Assad’s downfall is a “historic day” for the region, adding that the the new situation in Syria “offers great opportunity but also is fraught with significant dangers.”

His announcement was delivered in Golan Heights.

Chocolate is great; peanut butter is great; but together, they’re even better.


Lots of marriages work this way, especially financially. In an ideal world, so does the business you own — because, when the whole is less than the sum of its parts, it means you’re overpaying for talent.

It’s an inefficient business model.

Today in the Middle East, there are two potential combinations: The Palestinian people… and all that empty land in Syria. The Palestinian people need a country. Syria doesn’t have one anymore.

“You got Palestinians in my Syria!”

“You got Syria on my Palestinians!”

Why not put these two great tastes together — and make the new Palestinian homeland in Syria?

Jordan and Egypt won’t allow the Palestinians in, because the last time they did, they tried to overthrow the government. Well, good news: In Syria, the government’s already been overthrown!

It’s perfect.

Plus, with all those bombs and missiles that’ve exploded, there are probably lots of large holes in the ground. That would make it easier for the Palestinians to build those underground tunnels they’re so fond of: Most of the digging’s already been done.

The Jewish population in Syria is basically zero — and since we all know it’s those pesky Jews’ fault that the Palestinians haven’t been successful (ask any Democrat under the age of 40 and they’ll tell you), in Jew-free Syria, the Palestinians will surely create an ultra-successful modern economy, replete with all kinds of well-paying, hi-tech jobs.

Why, within a few years, thousands of Americans will be begging to work in the Syrian tech sector.

Think of all the tourism possibilities: They could counterprogram Octoberfest with Jihad January. Or counter Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls with the Running of the Tanks.

Fun for the who family! (No beepers allowed.)

Maybe our U.S.-based “Queers for Palestine” members will relocate to Syria and run their diversity training seminars. I’m sure the Palestinians would be highly appreciative. (They seem very receptive to new ideas.)

So move the Palestinians to Syria, give ‘em a new homeland, and let’s FINALLY bring peace to the Middle East!
