The elderly are bringing down the young and their future, the future of the revolution (souls). The lame (the crippled, the paralyzed, the handicapped in whatever way) are bringing down the fit and healthy who are faster, stronger, smarter. I believe regina may be mocking Russian totalitarian leaders like Stalin or Lenin pretending she was one of them and had their ideals. This song has a sort of rhythm that reminds me of a revolutionary march. Maybe regina is saying, with words taken from Madame de Pompadour (who is said to have had a premonition of the impending political and social collapse that was that lead to the French Revolution), is that though we can change things for the better we can also change things for the worse. The poem that the Russian lyrics are taken from has somewhat of an apocalyptic or after-the-war feel to it with a pinch of hope like Begin to Hope's subtle theme. Boris Pasternak was a poet during the reign of the leaders of the Russian/Soviet revolution and his ideas and criticisms of them sometimes found their way into his poetry. The "cold" (i believe this could mean the meek, lonely, or even the individualistic) are taking away from the lifeblood and the passionate conformity of the revolution. Israel considers Iran to be its chief enemy and has warned against what it views as its hostile activities in the region.Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legsīe afraid of the old, they'll inherit your soulsīe afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your bloodĪpres moi le deluge, after me comes the flood Both Iran and Assad’s government are also allied with Hezbollah, which has fought alongside Assad’s forces in the war. Iran is a main backer of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and has sent thousands of Iran-backed fighters to help Syrian troops during the country’s 11-year civil war. Some of those killed in the attack were Iranian nationals, according to two paramilitary officers in Iraq.Īt the time, Israel declined to comment on the strike. The strike, along the border with Iraq, targeted Iran-backed militiamen, Syrian opposition activists said at the time. It said at least 14 people, most of them militiamen, were killed in the strike. The November strike hit tanker trucks carrying fuel and other trucks carrying weapons for the militias in Syria’s eastern province of Deir el-Zour, the Observatory reported at the time. Israeli leaders have in the past acknowledged striking hundreds of targets in Syria and elsewhere in what it says is a campaign to thwart Iranian attempts to smuggle weapons to proxies like Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group or to destroy weapons caches. Aviv Kochavi, who finished his military service earlier this month, said Israeli military and intelligence capabilities made it possible to strike specific targets that pose a threat. Last month, Israel’s military chief of staff strongly suggested that Israel was behind a strike on a truck convoy in Syria in November, giving a rare glimpse of Israel’s shadow war against Iran and its proxies across the region. The attack in eastern Syria came hours after bomb-carrying drones targeted an Iranian defense factory in the central city of Isfahan causing some damage at the plant. In Baghdad, an official with an Iran-backed militia confirmed there was a strike saying it only targeted one truck. The pro-government Sham FM radio station also reported that six refrigerated trucks were hit. Omar Abu Layla, a Europe-based activist from Deir el-Zour who runs a group that monitors developments, tweeted that there was no immediate word on casualties. The group said there were casualties and ambulances rushed to the area.Īnother activist said the strike hit a convoy of trucks of Iran-backed militiamen.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said the drones appear to have been from the U.S.-led coalition, adding that they targeted six refrigerated trucks. It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack on the convoy in the Syrian border region of Boukamal, which is a stronghold of Iran-backed militias. The strike comes amid heightening tension between Iran and its rivals in the region. There was no immediate word on casualties. Drones attacked a convoy of trucks in eastern Syria Sunday night shortly after it crossed into the country from Iraq, Syrian opposition activists and a pro-government radio station said.
