Aspiring Survivalists,
The "Syrian Civil War" began in March of 2011, essentially because Syria would not facilitate passage of a natural gas pipeline from Qatar to Europe, to marginalize Russia and Iran in that important energy-supply trade, a Pipeline war by proxy mercenaries, funded and supplied by the CIA, Qatar, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Saudi Arabia has withdrawn support now.
After 2015, when Russia intervened to save Syria, there were 5 years of war where the Syrian Arab Army fought Turkish, Kurdish/American, ISIS and Israeli forces to a point of ceasefire, with foreign backed forces encamped upon the oilfields and best farmland of Syria, where they have been preparing a major offensive since Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. That has now been sprung, after Ukrainian trainers taught the Salafist mercenaries how to use reconnaissance and attack drones against fixed positions, in lightening-advance strikes.
The "realpolitik" of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), formerly Nusa Front, has been facilitated by Israel, Qatar and NATO countries, making deals ahead of time to advance into cities rapidly, without any resistance from local power-brokers. Syrian Arab Army forces have had to retreat and retreat, abandoning cities without resistance, their communications completely blacked-out by electronic interference, unprepared for this kind of warfare. They have to hold the line at Homs, or Syria will be cut off from the Mediterranean, and Russia may lose their base at Tartus. This is existential for Syria, for Hezbollah and the Resistance Axis, and for Iran, just as it is also a last sprint for battle-fatigued and over-extended Israeli military forces.
Russia and Iran will supposedly sign their mutual defense pact about the time that Trump takes office, but they will already have to save Syria in this next week or so. Airstrikes are not doing it against this massive, well-planned, well prepared and funded, motorized push to overrun Syria, while Russia and Hezbollah are otherwise busily occupied. elsewhere.
Iran has sent special forces advisors, and will need to send ground forces rapidly, but also knows that they are expected by Israel and the US, and will be hit hard. If Iran escalates "too hard", then Israel will draw in the US directly against Iran, as is their long term strategic plan. Neocons in the US seem to want this, and see their chances at their kind of "success" rapidly fading in coming weeks, if they do not act decisively to create this major war, which Trump will have to accept as an existing fact. How much advanced air-defense, of the S400 and Iranian counterparts variety, will Iran be able to bring into play against the Israeli air force? It will be vulnerable, but necessary to the effort.
What more can Russia do? Russia has drone and electronic warfare expertise, but is using all of that to advance rapidly in Novorussiya (Eastern Ukraine). The mutual defense treaty which Russia and North Korea signed went into actual effect Wednesday. (I didn't know that it had a start-timer on it.) That does open the door to North Korean troops helping out against the Ukrainian forces which invaded Russia, and are having a hard time holding territory, while taking heavy losses.
This is also existential for the western Banking + NATO empire, which makes this into World War-3, whatever specific forms it may take as it progresses. European and US arms of various sorts are already badly depleted, and production has never been able to approach battlefield needs in the Ukrainian war-of-attrition in men, tanks, drones, missiles and artillery shells. Draining Russia into the Mideast is clearly appealing, and capturing Syria would cut the axis-of-resistance into pieces without connections and supply lines. Can Iranian supply lines to Hezbollah be definitively cut before Salafist mercenaries, who have no real home, are exhausted? The NATO-proxy blitzkrieg-with-drones-and-electronic-warfare has not been impeded yet.
Time is very short to stop this decisive ground invasion. This is bound to escalate rapidly, of necessity all-around. Both sides, BRIICS and US/Israel/NATO are fully-committed.
Will China get involved? Now would be the time to supply a bunch of drones and operators...

Here is Pepe's fresh article, which he mentions in the interview. Pepe Escobar: The Syria Tragedy and the New Omni-War
Until recently, a serious geopolitical working hypothesis was that West Asia and Ukraine were two vectors of the standard Hegemon modus operandi, which is to incite and unleash Forever Wars. Now both wars are united in an Omni-War. A coalition of Straussian neo-cons in the US, hardcore revisionist Zionists in Tel Aviv and Ukrainian neo-nazi shades of grey is now betting on a Final Confrontation – with several overtones ranging from expanding lebensraum to provoking the Apocalypse. What stands in their way is essentially two of the top BRICS: Russia and Iran.
China, self-protected by their collective lofty dream of “community of a shared future for mankind”, warily watches on the sidelines, as they know that at the end of the road, the true “existential” war by the Hegemon will be against them.
Meanwhile, Russia and Iran need to mobilize for Totalen Krieg. Because that's what the enemy is launching...

..The problem is that freezing the war in 2020, with direct implication by Russia, Iran and (reluctantly) Turkiye, did not solve the “moderate rebel” problem. Now they’re back – in full force, supported by a vast Rent-a-Jihadi mob, with NATOstan Intel behind them.

Judging Freedom Transcript 12/5/24 Napolitano & Doctorow:
Where do you see all this going? How is Ukraine going to come to an end? The government will collapse, Zelensky will flee, either alive or dead. The military will probably collapse before Trump becomes president of the United States, no? Doctorow:
I agree with that scenario. There are those of my colleagues were speaking as if this can happen tomorrow. Well, maybe it won’t happen tomorrow, but it can certainly happen in the coming weeks. The Russians have shown on the latest television, finally, some diagrams, moving diagrams, showing what they’ve achieved in the last month, or six weeks. Because you listen to the daily news accounts, and this town is under fire, and that, and you can’t make any sense of it, frankly speaking. But they made sense of it. Their role, their move westward towards the Dnieper is dramatic, and the likelihood [is] a collapse of the Ukrainian forces when the Russians bring in 150,000 or more men that they have waiting and prepared for a major offensive, I don’t see how the Ukrainians could withstand that. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/12/06/transcript-of-judging-freedom-edition-of-5-december-2024/

Tucker Carlson: Minister Lavrov, thank you for doing this. Do you believe the United States and Russia are at war with each other right now?
Sergey Lavrov: I wouldn't say so. And in any case, this is not what we want. We would like to have normal relations with all our neighbors, of course, but generally with all countries especially with the great country like the United States. And President Vladimir Putin repeatedly expressed his respect for the American people, for the American history, for the American achievements in the world, and we don't see any reason why Russia and the United States cannot cooperate for the sake of the universe.
Tucker Carlson: But the United States is funding a conflict that you're involved in, of course, and now is allowing attacks on Russia itself. So that doesn't constitute war?
Sergey Lavrov: Well, we officially are not at war. But what is going on in Ukraine is that some people call it hybrid war. I would call it hybrid war as well, but it is obvious that the Ukrainians would not be able to do what they're doing with long-range modern weapons without direct participation of the American servicemen. And this is dangerous, no doubt about this.
We don't want to aggravate the situation, but since ATACMS and other long-range weapons are being used against mainland Russia as it were, we are sending signals. We hope that the last one, a couple of weeks ago, the signal with the new weapon system called Oreshnik was taken seriously.
In the context of these statements he invoked the undesired and catastrophic possibility of the standoff between Russia and NATO entering nuclear territory:
"The message which we wanted to send in testing, in real action, this hyper sonic system is that we will be ready to do anything to defend our legitimate interest. We hate even to think about war with the United States which will take nuclear character... [but] since some people in Washington ... seem to be not very capable to understand [Russia’s interests], we will send additional messages if they don't draw necessary conclusions."
And other interesting moment came when the top Russian diplomat outlined his country's motives in Ukraine vs. Washington's...
"They fight to maintain global hegemony over every region, while we fight for our legitimate security interests. Senator Lindsey Graham even said Ukraine’s rare earth metals must not be left to Russia—openly admitting their goal is resource exploitation. They support a regime willing to give away natural and human resources. We fight for the people whose ancestors built and developed these lands for centuries."
"In any case, this is not what we wanted," he elsewhere said on the question of war. "We would like to have normal relations with all our neighbors—but generally, with all countries, especially a great country like the United States.”
..."We don't see any reason why Russia and the United States cannot cooperate together for the sake of the universe," Lavrov emphasized in a key moment. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/full-lavrov-carlson-interview-us-russia-need-cooperate-sake-universe

A recent meta-analysis led by Dr. Greg J.

[Me: RSV-"croup" risks are remarkably low for breastfed infants of non-smokers.] ...
..In high-income nations with robust care for mothers and infants, the risks associated with preterm labor may very well outweigh the benefits of maternal RSV vaccination. https://www.trialsitenews.com/a/rsv-vaccination-in-pregnancy-balancing-infant-protection-with-maternal-and-fetal-risks-7be4b724
