I live in germany, and the Israeli movings in Syria aren't "a top story" in several news. It's like: "we better not talk about this".
Israel also bombed the Syrian Navy, sinking 15 docked vessels. In self defense, of course, because those ships would be used against them. /s
It's different outlets as well, you see. PBS doesn't have a material about the most recent attack, but pretty much every recent material they have is negative for Israel, two straight out discussing genocide. Which the Russians also attempt to commit against Ukrainians denying them their right for self--determination, my dear Russian friend.
Also the Russian invasion was anything but swift!
It was quite swift initially, and if the west didn't torpedo the deal then the whole thing could've been over in 2 months.
I seem to remember the Russians got stuck in mud and ran out of fuel pretty swifty I guess
things that absolutely happened outside liberal fantasies
no, it wouldn't have been lol, also there is a reason ukraine allied itself with the west
Yeah the reason is primarily corruption. There's a reason so many Americans specifically related to the state dept either quit their jobs and took up in Ukrainian companies, or directly started investing in Ukraine in the lead up to 2014 and the eventually coup that lead to zelensky being in power. Ukraine isn't special. It holds no real significance for a US company or investment firm based on its laws or government. But cheap mineral rights and a complete lack of environmental regulation thanks to a captured government? That's just easy money that also denies a self made US enemy that easy money. And all for the price of the Ukrainian population.
Yeah, the reason being that the west made false promises to Ukraine that led to their destruction as has been the case with every prior western proxy.
Russia promised to not invade, or rape or pillage... But yeah, west bad because isn't helping enough.
Ukraine promised to implement Minsk and stop ethnic cleansing in Donbas for 8 years. Then western leaders came out and said that the purpose of Minsk agreements was to give Ukraine more time to arm.
Meanwhile, the fact that it was the west who sabotaged the peace deal two months in is a well documented fact

It's incredible that anybody could be so utterly dishonest to characterize this as helping Ukraine.
I haven't been following the news. Weren't they fucking around in Lebanon? Why are they in Syria?
The Assad regime just got ousted, and Israel is taking advantage of the disorganisation in Syria to secure more Lebensraum.
It looks like Turkey and Israel came up with a plot to overrun Syria with insurgents and then start carving it up.
The instigator is different. Not trying to condone Israel, but the initial reason for invading is different.
Fuck both Russia and Israel.
It's also two different news agencies.
Feel free to find a western news agency covering Israeli invasion of Syria the same way they cover Russia.
