> I really do wish she wouldn't inject her reports with wording such as: "as if the Syrian thugs had taken an example from their counterparts, the zionist occupation soldiers who force their detainees to sing for the invaders.

I noted that too and was a bit irritated as well. I am not a fan of IDF but Syrians did not learn their methods from their neighbors; that was unnecessary.

imo is strategically dictated to by Saudi Arabia. No oil means no exports and subsequent to that are riots in mainland for food by a billion Chinese who at this point lack "party discipline" ;) China has little room for action. Right now it is useful to build it up as it helps with the 'Dismantle the American Empire' international project (my speculation).
