The rebels are back by US and Turkey,each having their own agenda in Syria. Nothing much haven't changed since the Cold war. US/NATO and Russia/(China) always attempts to place a yes man at the helm in volatile nations to serve their interests. It's never in the interests of the population or the economy. The West will push the democracy line but it's all about the resources. Russia also, it just doesn't make any pretence about it. If history repeats itself, the US-backed rebels in power will make way for western multicorporations to set up shop in Syria and begin reaping the sweets. If the rebels govern the country according to the West mandate, the citizens wouldn't be any better off than when they were under Assad. Hopefully that wouldn't be the case, however this middle east conflict seems to be widening from different angles. On another note, the Syrian military not engaging the rebels before Assad flight, would suggest 1/ a weak military 2/ no loyalty to Assad 3/ paid off. As soon as they saw no Russian fighter bombers taking part, they probably realised the game was up for Assad, and fled.

Drones around US and UK military bases, anyone any ideas or theories where they come from, could they be Russian? Seems to be a lot about suddenly.

I have been double plus good all year, and deserve all things Christmassy, mince pies, a nice bottle of wine, lots of food and tasty treats. Some peace on earth would be good, we live in hope.

I guess it depends where you live in the world. Here in the UK The pay for women over the past half century has slowly been brought up to the same pay as a man doing exactly the same job. Men and women have the same rights. We have had two women Prime Ministers, the highest political office in the land. In the 2024 General Election 263 women were elected to Parliament, that is 40.3% of the total number of MPs are women, the highest ever number of females ever elected to Parliament. I doubt women enjoy the same life styles and freedoms of choice living in the Arab world, they must follow the laws of the land on what is permitted for them to do, maybe this will change over time as it has done in the UK.

Reflections on the Covid epidemic when guys had it really tough, no footy, no pub nights with the lads, all sporting activities cancelled. Whereas the girls had everything normal in their lives, the cooking, cleaning, doing the washing and ironing, and all stuff like that.

Maybe they are extraterrestrial life, or alien life, marooned here after an accident similar to the Roswell incident of 1947. If they have captured one it will probably be imprisoned in Area 51 for study and to maintain the secrecy of alien life existence.

At least the Syrian despot Assad has been the victim of the Ukraine war, Russia so preoccupied unable to prop him up in Power, no doubt he is paying a lot to Russia to live in their country. The downside is that no one knows what will happen in Syria now that he has gone, will it end up being run by terrorists with their own agenda, or will it be their Arab Spring towards a democracy.
