The uprising against the government of Syria, headed by the dictatorship of Bashar Hafez al-Assad, began in 2011 as part of the broader Arab Spring that saw millions of people rise up in North Africa and West Asia against repression, exploitation and corruption.The Syrian government responded by shooting at the civilian demonstrators. This militarised the conflict and soon various regional and imperialist powers got involved in a bid to squash the uprising and gain influence.After 7 years, the government, with massive Russian and Iranian military aid, has regained the upper hand.

Another year, another Olympics marred by petty politics, dirty tricks, and information warfare. Why is Russia now the global sports pariah? What's up with all the doping? It looks as if it is Washington putting the so-called "Gerasimov doctrine" into effect: full-on hybrid warfare, without ever having to fire a gun.
