EU to discuss closure of Russian bases with Syrian rebels – POLITICO
The European Union's top diplomat Kaja Kallas said Monday that the bloc will raise the possibility of closing Russian bases in Syria with the country's new leadership, as some ministers argue the Russians should be pushed out.BYTESEU (Bytes Europe)
"I say to Iran in no uncertain terms - to prevent you from harming us, we'll continue to act against you as necessary, in every arena & at all times,"
"I'd like to both clarify and warn: We are committed to preventing #Hezbollah from rearming,"
"Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem said it bluntly yesterday: 'Hezbollah has lost its military supply route through Syria.' These words are, of course, further evidence of the severe damage we have inflicted on the entire Iranian axis,
I recall that for decades #Syria has been an active enemy state of àIsrael. It has attacked us again & again, it has allowed others to attack us from its territory, it has allowed Iran to arm Hezbollah through its territory,"
"So I want to say something about Syria - we have no interest in confronting Syria,
Together with Defense Minister #Katz, I've directed the #IDF to thwart potential threats from Syria, & to prevent terrorist elements from taking over near our border,
To ensure that what was, will not be again, we have taken a series of intense actions in recent days,"
"I discussed all of this again last night with my friend, US President-elect Donald #Trump. We talked about the need to complete Israel's victory, "

(Unconfirmed) Israeli sources:
The bombing of various areas in Syria was carried out at the request of Maher al-Assad (brother of Bashar al-Assad).
Maher al-Assad asked Israel to destroy the passport office, the building of the Ministry of Intelligence, the headquarters of the 5th Division of the Syrian Army, and Maher al-Assad's personal house adjacent to the headquarters of the 5th Division of the Syrian Army.
There was information in these places that proved that Maher al-Assad had close ties with Mossad and Israel.
PS my guess is that they are spreading these stories to justify their criminal actions in Syria.

After rebel takeover, Israeli Air Force and Navy strike missile depots, naval vessels, fighter jets and more to ensure they don’t fall into wrong hands.
Following a major 48-hour bombing campaign in Syria, the Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday said it had destroyed most of the former Bashar al-Assad regime’s strategic military capabilities, in an effort to prevent advanced weaponry from falling into the hands of hostile elements.
In a statement, the IDF said that its Air Force and Navy had carried out over 350 strikes against “strategic targets” in Syria since the fall of the Assad regime over the weekend, taking out “most of the strategic weapons stockpiles in Syria.”
The military estimated that it had destroyed 70-80 percent of the former Assad regime’s strategic military capabilities.
The operation was dubbed “Bashan Arrow” within the military, after the biblical name for the Golan Heights and southern Syria region.
The IDF released footage from the campaign, during which it said over 320 targets were struck across all of Syria.

A large number of Iraqi volunteers from various fractions of Shia militias have arrived in Syria to help fighting against Turkey/Israeli backed fighters. Despite US attacking several convoys of the fighters on the way to Syria, large number of fighters managed to join the Syrian army to help taking back Aleppo from the rebels.

"#Historian #LawrenceBritt studied the fascist regimes of #Hitler (Germany), #Mussolini (Italy), #Franco (Spain), #Suharto (Indonesia), and #Pinochet (Chile) and found they had 14 elements in common. He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism.
1. Powerful and Continuing #Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of #patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. #Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of #HumanRights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, and long incarcerations of prisoners.
3. Identification of #Enemies / #Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: #racial, #ethnic or #religious #minorities; #liberals; #communists; #socialists, #terrorists…
4. Supremacy of the #Military
Even when there are widespread #domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant #Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional #gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to #abortion is high, as is #homophobia and anti-#gay legislation.
6. Controlled #MassMedia
Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation or by sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Government #censorship and #secrecy especially in war time, are very common.
7. Obsession with #NationalSecurity
Fear of hostile foreign powers is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. #Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
9. Protection of #Corporate Power
The #industrial and business #aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Suppression of #Labor Power
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor #unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for #Intellectuals and the #Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to #HigherEducation and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other #academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
12. Obsession with #Crime and #Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the #police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego #CivilLiberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant #Cronyism and #Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. #FraudulentElections
Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by #SmearCampaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control #voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
This post is a summary of Fascism, Anyone? by Lawrence W. Britt published in 2003 by Free Inquiry magazine."
