7. If anyone had any doubts about Iranian intentions in Syria
Tim ,   Brighton   (05.31.18)
All through 2017 you only had to follow digital chatter to realise just how much Assad (the giraffe) is held in contempt and ridicule by the RG and the inevitability they see as Syria becoming an integral part of the new Iranian Empire

And key to this goal...is Irans strategy to firm her grip and domination of Syria and Lebanon and sideline and ultimately decouple Russia from its economic and strategic interests in the region and send ‘Russia packing home’ either by coercion or by force

And if you think that’s fantasy…follow the increasingly brazen recent statements by senior clerics and RG who view Russia now, not as an ally but as a foreign unislamic power who are thwarting Irans hegemonic ambitions and view Russia as ‘past her usefullness’

As rebuilding commences and Russia tries to salvage and offset its huge financial cost of the war from rebuilding in Syria along comes the Shia Fascist Regime in Iran who want to grab and control it all
8. Funny stuff
