🩸 Massacre in Syria: The Kremlin Stages a 'Night of the Long Knives'

When Moscow transferred $23 million in Syrian currency to the Central Bank of Syria, it became clear that Russia was securing its foothold in the region. This money was the price for ensuring that the new government in Damascus would allow Russia to keep its military bases in Tartus and Khmeimim, which are crucial for its operations in Africa.

🩸 Massacre in Syria: The Kremlin Stages a 'Night of the Long Knives'

When Moscow transferred $23 million in Syrian currency to the Central Bank of Syria, it became clear that Russia was securing its foothold in the region. This money was the price for ensuring that the new government in Damascus would allow Russia to keep its military bases in Tartus and Khmeimim, which are crucial for its operations in Africa.

However, to convince Damascus of the necessity of continued cooperation, chaos and violence were required.

🛑 The 'Alawite uprising' was not a real rebellion but a convenient pretext for a mass purge.

As soon as Moscow "settled the issue" with the finances, clashes erupted, quickly escalating into a mass slaughter of Alawites.
But who started it?

👉 This was not a spontaneous outbreak of violence but a carefully planned operation.

⚠️ Why does the Kremlin need chaos?
📌 The massacre allows Moscow to tell Ash-Sharaa: "Look, without us, this will turn into a bloodbath. Give us the bases, and we will restore order."
📌 Chaos on the coast strengthens the new government's dependence on Russia.
📌 The Kremlin can present its presence as a 'guarantee of stability' rather than an occupation.

💰 Why did Russia buy Damascus' loyalty?
👉 Saudi Arabia and Qatar refused to finance the new Syrian government until the U.S. lifts the sanctions imposed on Assad’s regime.
👉 Ash-Sharaa needed financial resources, and Moscow seized the opportunity.
👉 The Kremlin promised to 'restore infrastructure', allowing Damascus to present it as compensation for years of collaboration with Assad.

🎭 The Kremlin is once again following its classic strategy:

🔴 Create the problem – fuel conflict and provoke violence.
🔴 Offer the solution – force Damascus to accept Russian 'assistance'.

📌 The Russians have long followed the principle: one hand caresses, the other strikes. Now, they have played the same game – orchestrating chaos to later present themselves as the saviors.
