The illegitimate Zionist entity and its criminal godfather, the US, following the face-saving ceasefire in Lebanon to avoid humiliation, think they have turned the tables on the Axis of Resistance by stage-managing the seizure of Aleppo and Hama through the takfiri terrorists in a bid to march to Damascus for achieving the long–cherished goal of toppling the Syrian government.
Western media is cheering the macabre murderers, one of whose leaders has publicly called on usurper Israel to strike Syrian troops, thus removing the Arab-Muslim mask of hypocrisy so far hiding the devilish faces of the self-styled Islamists – the Free Syrian Army, Hay’at Tahrir ash-Sham, Jubhat an-Nusra, ISIS.
It is a crisis without the least doubt, but the gravity of the situation is not beyond the triumph of President Bashar al-Assad and his legion of Sunni Muslim supporters in the army and among the general populace who view the takfiri terrorists as deviationists beyond the pale of Islam.
Defenders of Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are confident of defeating the insurgents backed by the US and Israel even if these cowards were to resort to chemical weapon attacks on the public – as they did a decade ago through internationally banned gases supplied by the West.
Some claim that Turkiye, similar to its opening of borders in 2014 to flood Syria terrorists of all hue and colour, is also backing certain terrorist segments operating from rebel-held territory in Idlib. 
For the moment, however, let us give the benefit of the doubt to Ankara, in view of its joint statement with Tehran and Moscow in the Qatari capital Doha on Saturday during the tripartite talks as part of the Astana Peace Process for stability in Syria.
Turkiye knows that it would be not just a betrayal of Islam and Muslims if it were to join forces with Washington and Tel Aviv for turning Syria into ‘Takfiristan’, but also a suicidal move, since these Godless elements who claim to be ‘Islamists’ would never miss the opportunity to strike at Ankara in the interests of their American and Zionist paymasters.
As for delusional Uncle Sam and its criminal surrogate Israel, it is nothing but miscalculation to think that their terrorist minions are capable of continuing the campaign with gay abandon for seizure of more Syria territory, since neither General Qasem Soleimani nor Hojjat al-Islam Seyyed Hassan Nasrollah, are alive. 
The indomitable spirit of the martyrs is very much alive today and infusing new strength in the Axis of Resistance to enact epics of heroism in pushing back the latest terrorist wave by carrying the fight to the enemy’s camp.
The coming days and weeks are decisive in deciding the fate of not just Syria but all of West Asia to the horror of the Zionist entity, which after all is a cobweb.
