Hello and welcome to or welcome back to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast where we generally discuss the dirty work our governments are doing overseas. However, today we are bringing it back to the homefront, Imperial Boomerang style, to talk about this stupid drone media frenzy and how the real threat isn’t an Independence Day-esque Alien invasion, but our own government.

I guess the intense emotions swirling around are a mixture of elation that Assad is deposed and despondency that the Axis of Resistance and the state of the Palestinian cause look to be in a pretty bleak state right now. Things looked like they were going well in terms of the Israeli state destroying itself and the US losing massive influence in the Region, and then within a week all this pressure that was building got released and the entire situation has taken a 180.

Literally the Empire Strikes back, which you know happens before the fall. Let's talk about the new Geopolitical reality.

Repost from my  @MintPressNews  episode. Last time I will b e dual posting, so follow us there if interested!

We platform different voices and perspectives on this Podcast. This is a repost from the MintPress Show "State of Play." Hope you enjoy. It will be controversial...

No one predicted the rapid pace of events in the most recent iteration of the Syrian Civil war, beginning with the rapid advance of HTS and other forces from Idlib province into the to city of Aleppo, the unanticipated stand down orders given to the Syrian Army, and the rapid collapse and flight of Assad’s government. Rumors of backroom deals, internal corruption, and Western interference abound, so we may not have a clear picture for some time. What remains then is the potential fates of Syria and the Axis of Resistance.

The situation is balanced on a knife’s edge, and to help us unravel the complexities of this multi-faction, multi-ethnic socio-political development we are joined by Afeef Nessouli, journalist with years of experience, both in the UN and the Carter Institute, reporting on Syria

After many requests I have decided to focus on a primer for this incredibly complex, painful, and divisive conflict from a great-power politics perspective. I will soon be platforming Syrian analysts to give a more balanced perspective to this intractable conflict that is now taking center stage in the Geopolitical forum and is indelibly connected to the US and Israel.

Many out there are confused by the sudden Ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon, given that one of Hezbollah’s initial early operational imperatives was to not relent its military pressure on Israel until a ceasefire was reached in Gaza.

That prospect, one of a ceasefire, seems more unlikely now, though some hold out hope that this ceasefire in Lebanon will snowball into others throughout the region. With the IDF on the brink, low on munitions and manpower, why relent now?

Is the ceasefire in Lebanon a strategic blunder for the Axis? Who benefits more from breathing room to rearm and replenish? Also Trump is coming into office. Join us tonight for a deep dive into this developing story.
