Yes, in the same boat indeed
This Resonates bigtime, as I’ve been in the same spot. Add in family responsibilities to that feeling of doubt even though gut instinct is to press forward.

What I gather from your post is striking a balance. There may be people/families that are setup for that longer term wealth creation but they have sacrificed living as they are wage slaves without the possibility of real meaningful travel, (as opposed to cheap tourism). They will not experience meeting and living with locals, adapting to different cultures and situations, so the key is balance which appears you are achieving (after trials and tribulations).
It is most likely the plan to step aside was hashed out months ago when he visited Russia, and was used as a part of a bigger negotiation. This to me signifies the beginning of something big coming, new world order type event..
The fall of the Assad Regime in Syria seemed to come out of nowhere. After 13 years of civil war, most of which had been a stalemate for years, one group of rebels takes over Aleppo, Homs, and finally Damascus in two weeks.

So who are the rebels? Tahrir al Sham https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahrir_al-Sham They’re a faction that is opposed to Al-Queda and ISIS with some support from Qatar and Turkey. It seems like it’s mostly a remixing of Islamic groups which had led the civil war for a long time, but when Iran, Russia, Hezbollah, Israel, and The US got distracted elsewhere they were able to use some support from Turkey to finally overthrow Assad and capture Damascus. My guess is once they took Aleppo and discovered Assad wasn’t able to bring in help in a counter offensive then faith in the regime amongst its soldiers collapsed.
I’m personally really concerned about what will happen to the Rojava, the autonomous Kurdish region ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_Administration_of_North_and_East_Syria ). At the start of the civil war Kurds who are aligned with the Turkish PKK took over and liberated their own land, then got support from the US to defeat ISIS. The region has been effectively an independent country for the last 12 years. Ideologically the PKK used to be a Marxist group but they shifted to Social Ecology, a branch of left Anarchism founded by Murray Bookchin a couple decades ago. They do not believe in a centralized government and have run their region with a network of independent democratic local governments, associations, businesses, and militias. The US government maintains military bases and cooperation with Rojava. While many people in Rojava are religious the movement is multiethnic and non-Islamist in its political ideology. I find it kind of crazy that such an interesting radical political and economic project can emerge in what is clearly one of the most difficult and conflict ridden places.
Despite the US and Turkish governments being close allies and the US providing military support to the Kurds in Rojava, the Turkish government hates the Kurdish sovereignty movement. Turkey wants to prevent the emergence of any independent Kurdish country, even one without a state as such like exists in Rojava.
Will Turkey turn on and invade Rojava now that they have something like allies in power in Damascus? It doesn’t seem to make like Tahrir al Sham is an agent of Turkey, there are militias directly under the control of Turkey occupying land which is nominally Syrian, plus regular Turkish troops, but more like Tahrir al Sham is just getting support where it can. So we shall see.
One last thing I find interesting is the positive statements put out by governments around the world about the fall of the Assad regime to an organization that those same governments have declared a terrorist group. Does a terrorist grouping become a military when it gains control of a nation state?
Kurds are a chip in this game, and with sights fixed on them by Turkey. This has been in the works, and pacted beforehand. My bet is US and west gets Syria, to pump nat gas from qatar thru Syria to europe, but will pullout of Ukraine dropping Zelensky like a hot brick.
The syrian rebels are the same Al nusra head choppers that have been whitewashed for this and prepped. No doubt they will be used again as assets towards Iran.

I'm just surprised Russia let it happen, but i suppose they are pretty distracted with Ukraine.
No doubt, wreaks of a pre-organized deal in a geo-political chess board, I am sure we will see further shifts in different theaters of operations.
This appears pacted, most likely significant movement/shift in Ukraine in coming days..
Few countries if any would be able to survive the onslought endured. This started in Syria the same day as in Libya, with massive covert military operations, economic warfare, and many countries bank rolling, training, and providing resources etc. I wouldn’t be surprised if a higher up deal/agreement was reached involving turkey, russia, and this is the beginning results.
Under 1m who take it seriously enough to be a hardcore stacker.
If Assad falls in the coming days, it is likely that HTS leader Mohammed al-Jolani will establish some form of "provisional government" in Damascus. However, this group, a direct offshoot of Al-Qaeda, does not have the direct support of Turkey, which is currently the dominant power in the region. This suggests that the next phase will likely be a conflict among the various groups currently fighting against Assad.

Direct support? Food, weapons, training, US dollars… must be indirect😂

“suggesting Georgescu benefitted from a mass influence operation – conducted from abroad – to interfere with the result of the vote.” So basically they didnt like the result, and after a EU/USA mass influence their candidate will win..
Can someone explain to me how the Kurdish territory in Syria and the one in Iraq interact and cooperate? I cant find clear sources but im very curious. Also how are these 2 states run, Tax wise and do they have treaties with Assad and the Iraqi government? https://www.byteseu.com/535421/ #GeopoliticalAnalysis #GeopoliticalNews #Geopolitics #Politics
Its a free for all, and most likely as usual US footing the bill for greenbacks in the local economies, with loot, smuggled oil, weapons, controlled by cartels, jihadis, and bandits.
