State Sec. Blinken Heading to Turkey to Discuss Sending Syria’s Massive Weapons Stockpiles to Ukraine - Reports
Following the defeat of the Syrian government on December 8, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on December 11 initiated an unscheduled visit to Syria’s immediate neighbours Jordan and Turkey. The shaping of Syria’s future is expected to be central to discussions, with the country’s territory currently being split between Turkish-backed Islamist paramilitaries, many of which have Turkish officers within their ranks, as well as the Israel Defence Forces which have advanced deep into the country, and U.S.-backed Kurdish forces in the country’s oil rich northeastern regions. Syria was the first state in the Middle East to leave the Western sphere of influence and form close ties with the Soviet Union in the early 1950s, with the placing of its territory under Western Bloc influence having been an objective of Western, Turkish and Israeli policy in the region for over half a century. While the strategic benefits for these actors of Syria’s defeat are tremendous and wide ranging, one of the most significant for the United States is the obtaining of Syria’s arsenals of Soviet, North Korean and Russian military equipment, which are some of the very largest in the world.

So that's probably the reason the deep state took out Assad......
Are they forgetting most of the Ukrainian soldiers are dead...
Army Regulars yes.
Conscripts and Foreign Dumbasses. Those they still have some of left to spend.
And yet voted for Kamala. Somehow.
From what news snippets have been aired, most of the Syrian 'stockpiles' have been blowded up by the Israelis. Then there are the thieving hands of the new administration of totally 'Turkish' not head-choppers - and totally 'Turkish' mind you - who will prolly hide that stuff rather than send it somewhere else. Could come in handy, ya know.
Good luck with sending 'surplus' Soviet supplies to Ukraine.
((They))'ll prolly attack Transnistria for the same reason, when they discover that there's not much to send from Syria, soon. I mean there's big stockpiles of Soviet stuff there, and they haven't volunteered it for the Ukrainians to use.
Could it be any more complex?
If they are going to send them to Ukraine they better hurry because Israel is destroying them as fast as they can!
For once I'm cheering for Israel
Oh isn't this just lovely. I am stuck in Istanbul, Turkey, and I think Lincoln's G550 just flew over my head
I find it hard to believe that Putin & Assad did not discuss & account for this possibility when Assad planned his exit.
Assad reportedly left food on the stovetop when he left so we will see about that
Pnce the thieves and puppets of the Deep State are ousted, I want to see some of those stockpiled weapons appearing on American gun shop shelves.
This guy's a fucking idiot. You don't make a deal with a devil, in this case IS (aka, the "Free" Syria Army) and then beg them to give up their weapons.
Even though Trump is coming back in Jan these clowns can still work as if they are still in power? Trumps transition team cant stop this?
