These Dramatic Before And After Images Of Syria Demonstrate "Success" Of US Foreign Policy
One narrative that’s parroted constantly when the US moves to bring about regime change in the Mid-East is that it’s necessary for the good of the people.
Typically, the citizenry is characterized as suffering under the brutal oppression of an autocratic regime which is sometimes accused of committing crimes against humanity in order to maintain an iron grip on power and ensure that the seeds of democracy cannot grow.
Of course this narrative is never wholly true and is rarely even partially so.
More often than not, the US has ulterior motives for covertly usurping Mid-East strongmen and the overarching goal is almost always to achieve some narrow geopolitical end.
This isn’t so much one fringe blog’s opinion as it is a dubious foreign policy tradition for Washington and indeed, it’s almost always readily observable in hindsight.
For those who need proof of this, we present the following before and after images of night-time light emissions in Syria:

Holy meatballs, Aleppo was just flat-out disappeared.
It's a wonder they can find a working outlet to charge their tank mounted GoPros amid all that rubble and concrete dust.
Bet ya can't find a full block of unobstructed sidewalk to skateboard on either.

believe the PC term is "degrowth." They're not fighting, just establishing a sustainable community.
The U.S really does deserve to be wiped off the map. Those Americans (all probably 2000 of them) who are sickened by this bullshit should first be taken out of the country to avoid be wiped out with it.
Alfred....talk to me ....
Looks like they just didn't build those cities with enough rock n roll.
lol...i just wanna have fun
with an internet troll
@hxc - lol - you asked for it. "WE BUILT THIS CITY - WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT" mashup

After all, & as always
Who counts the money - Underneath the bar? Who drove the wrecking balls, into our guitars?
We killed his cities with bombs and drooooones!
Careful for what you ask for; you might get it.
Pat Travers has this covered...
No Kiddin', I'm ready to FIGHT!...
Boom boom! COME ON! Out go the lights!
Pat Travers. NICE! :-) (you just made my evening). What's the story with those 3 dots though?
Much of the song works, doesn't it? I just posted the quick easy lyrics.
Much appreciated sweetness. I NEEDED that rememberance this evening (4 which I'm thankful 2 u). FFS - I've been reduced to being Siskel & Ebert on 1980's MTV nuances for the past hour.
Thx 4 helping me reclaim my sanity!
I observe that the extreme southern region that borders with Israel has effectively been evacuated of people.
Thus creating less demand for water and space in that region, and providing more of it to those in the south, who need it more.
"Thou shall not covet... anything that is thy neighbor's" is another Barbarous Relic, that is used purely as lip service. Where would the modern, fiat-banking, FRB, Derivative assets world be, without constant coveting?
Last one out,please turn(ed) off the lights.
P.S. TOTUS did a nice job of putting Iraq back into the stone age.
It seems to be where some are the most comfortable. Oldly, it is those who we have most assisted in achieving their dream of modern "stone age" living that hate us the most. Whats up with that?
Agreed Yen. It is like we are causing a forced mass migration of people into Europe and elsewhere. Why? It is clearly not for the infrastructure. 9/11 was bad even if a full retard believes the official story it would not warrant shit like this 14 years later. This is meant to cause us to kill ourselves off. I have 17000 Somalians for neighbors that I pay for and they are not my friends. This is all being done so that we fight each other and kill each other so we are out of their way.

And you sir get the blue ribbon.
Kill off is slowly entering the vernacular.
Notice that Turkey is a bit brighter; someone is burning more lights over there. Iraq looked a little darker and Jordan had no change - still dark.
the upside is once the russians, chinese and iranians are through, the west will have no excuse not to send all the "migrants" home
who needs zoning for an oil pipeline when you have JDAMs
It's all the poison gas obscuring the lights....DUH!
The US brought them Ronald Reagan's "thousand years of darkness". The US is next.
As Potus is about to talk about a shooting here, I am inclined to believe that IF Russia didn't take on ISIS with it's capable hands he would have blamed it on ISIS. I'm calling them out. BULLSHIT. If in their eyes that makes me a bad american then so be it. I can be comforted with the knowledge that I am an honest and decent person and a realistic american. That much I can say, potus and company are not. They can go to hell and at least one governor has already said that.
Corrected to properly reflect the guilty parties....
I've digitally enhanced / filtered that streak of light in the lower-left (bottom photo) that looks like a comet -
- and I can reveal that it looks suspiciously like Nudelman -KAGAN, on her mach-3 broomstick, dropping cookies to her ISIS buddies
....another interesting angle to look at (as crazy as it may sound) is the diet of the people in countries USA has "Freed"....and countries USA has "spread democracy"....and "Freedums".... from 50,000 ft.
I forget where I read it but since we started bombing the fuck out of Iraq 20+ years ago... and Libya 8+ years ago....and Syria..... the diet of the AVERAGE kid on the ground has been completely wiped out in regards to protein. Sure, they still get to chow down on rice on occasion, but we've degraded the diet of the average person on the ground there to a point of it being the baseline of starvation..
GO USA
GO USA
GO USA!!!!
That wasn't a very enlightend comment, was it....
lol... that damn, US. If it were not for the US Syria would be lit up like a Xmas turkey.
Compare and contrast these pictures of Libya and read the article.

Well, I haven't had much time to post or read ZH this week because of preparing for winter but I have been listening to the situation in Syria with Russia. I haven't spoken with my Russian wife in a couple of days because of schedule conflicts but I finally had the chance to do so. I told her that I would make her a bet on who will "accidentally" strike each other first, the U.S. or Russia. She didn't want to make that bet and she blurted out that it will be Russians. I have to agree.
I explained that given the forces involved and technology involved, that we know of, it will go something like this: It will start with an "off course" U.S. drone going a little too close to the Russians. This will be considered spying because it IS spying. Russians, knowing it is a drone with no pilot, will consider it an expensive high tech "clay pigeon" and likely shoot the fucking thing down if they can. Obama will look like the fool he is AGAIN and with no Merican lives lost, it really won't be that big of deal to Mericans.
From what I am hearing the Russian people do not like this fucking around in Syria. At least the Russian public knows that they are in Syria unlike Merica where public schools named after Barack Obama are educating the chillen.
You have to admit that it is a pretty good idea to blast one of those U.S. drones just to say fuck off and I hope the Russians do. Does Vegas have a line on the possible outcomes of U.S. and Russia fighting in the same foreign country but supporting differing agendas?
Mrs. M simply shook her head, looked at me and said, "This is bad." "I know", I replied. Enough said.
If I was getting the shit bombed out of me I would turn off the fucking lights too.
Very short-sighted perspective.
1. Syria has been ruled by a ruthless domestic dictatorship since independence from the colonial dictatorship, and has been a major agent of unnecessary conflict in the region.
2. Syria is predominantly populated by worshipers of the islamic cult.
Therefore, destroying the society's infrastructure and keeping them in primitive conditions is an absolute good thing - it does not matter who is doing it or why, the end result is justified.
If the Syrians had governed themselves properly and had not squandered their people and resources in decades of regionally destructive conflict, then they would not be in their current situation.
America. Bringing the New Dark Ages.
Well, I for on am fascinated to learn about Syria's Nocturnal Emissions. Anyone notice Iraq's not looking very good, either?

Obama has about a year and a half left before he leaves the next POTUS holding this bag of skulls.
This is what happens to a country where America & its allies enter.
America destroys everywhere, america is a threat to human race
West must be destroyed
