This rogue pseudo nation, ex-part of #Turkish empire, on one side pretend to be a Turkish enemy and taxes residents to their poverty limit to buy US/French arms, on the other side takes political refugees and hands them back to the butchers' regime to execute or torture to death

Back till 1912 the tax was much lower and collectors were more humane

The #Ottoman empire liberated these lands from the oppressive fascist Roman empire that had moved its capital to #Istanbul

“Ottoman Resurgence Versus Zionist Imperialism”

by Karl Sanchez in karlof1’s Geopolitical Gymnasium on Substack

“All the terrorists the Outlaw US Empire claimed to be fighting it was instead supporting to advance its goals in Syria and beyond to Iraq and ultimately Iran.

A blind man, Ahmed, carrying his best friend, Samir, a paralyzed dwarf

Samir served as Ahmed's eyes. Ahmed served as Samir's legs

Ahmed was #Muslim

Samir was #Christian

- #Damascus, #Ottoman #Syria, 1889

#Syrians: you are all in this together

World: we are all in this together

Another relevant parallel:

Samir was paralyzed because of #polio. Take note, new insane #USA government

Sad but bittersweet note:

When Samir died, Ahmed was besides himself in grief, and died a week later
