He skated by and off, to his own music.
Couldn't have happened under rule of Western-supported terrorists. This youth would quite possibly have been slaughtered by the 'moderates' for being a normal human being. The 'moderates' supported by the West (and Western media) routinely execute Syrian civilians for not observing their extreme ideology.

Zaitsevo, a village in the north of the Donetsk People's Republic, has been relentlessly shelled by Ukrainian forces/paramilitaries since 2014, and continues to be bombed nearly every day and night.
The population has dropped from 3,500 to 1,600, including 200 children.
I interviewed Irina Dikun, head of the administration of Zaitsevo, who spoke at length on the terror civilians have faced over the years and continue to face with the Ukrainian bombing that erupts nearly every single night, targeting civilian homes and village infrastructure.
"Those who could leave, left. Mostly it's elderly remaining here. None of the ceasefire agreements (24/5) reached here. Not more than 1 or 2 days of ceasefire," she said.
"They are destroying street by street in the town. They take one street and destroy it house by house. Then they turn to another street.
There was a school, and a kindergarten, before, but they were both destroyed by Ukrainian artillery. So now the children go to a district of Gorlovka, by school bus, organized by Mayor Prikhodko of Gorlovka.
The paramedics, the emergency, don't go farther than this building, it's too dangerous to go further. So, someone has to use their own car to go, if somebody needs help over there (near frontlines), and take them to the point where medics can then take them to Gorlovka. Also, the soldiers help civilians who are injured."
Dmitry Astrakhan, the DPR press officer who accompanied me and provided translations, said:
"I want to add that Ukrainians shot at medical vehicles and fire brigade vehicles, even if they are white with red crosses. So it's really dangerous to go farther (than the administrative building)."
[Note: This is also a tactic used by Zionist soldiers, targeting Palestinian medics, something I've experienced first hand, in 2009:

Irina's words are powerful, please do listen to this courageous woman, whose closing words were:
"Western weapons are used to kill us. We don't wish for any person to live through what we are living here now. What is here is something you don't wish for your enemy."

While walking in old Damascus yesterday, a boy wanted to practise his English with me. He was so charming I asked if I could film he and his friends.
His words, and his friend's song burst, were spontaneous.
Something for viewers to keep in mind: these kids, age 12, lived under terrorist mortars for years. Precisely this area of Damascus, where we met, was heavily targeted over the years. Yet, look at the love and hope they retain!

Recently, I spoke with Dr. Husam al-Samman, a Syrian doctor living in the United States, about issues pertaining to the health care system in Syria; about the early days in Syria--when corporate media claimed the protests were peaceful--and about the criminal western sanctions on Syria, which prevent even the delivery of critically-needed medicines, including Dr. al-Samman's attempt to deliver medicines for cancer remission patients to Syria and being literally blocked from doing so, in spite of his tireless and heroic efforts, by the United States.
Dr. al-Samman finished his medical studies in Damascus, and during the early years of the war on Syria, was returning to Damascus (from Saudi Arabia where he lived at the time) every two weeks. What he saw and experienced was starkly opposite what corporate and Gulf media were reporting. He gave a personal example of his family nearly coming under fire from "peaceful" revolutionary types when they were passing through Madaya in mid-2011--his family was saved by a Syrian soldier who ran into the open waving his arms and telling them to turn their cars around. His fate is unknown, but it is likely he was killed in the terrorists' gunfire he was saving the family from.
We also talked about an article that came out recently--written by none other than the wife of Ken Roth (the 2 decades dictator of Human Rights Watch (with a terrible sense of geography--Gaza is not Syria...), attacking Syria's health care system--a system which provides free health care to all citizens and which is still functioning after nearly 8 years of war on Syria, after terrorist attacks on hospitals and health care workers, after criminal western sanctions on Syria.
*We did speak for over an hour, however the sound quality was unfortunately not great always, so I've had to cut out murky bits. However, the remaining content is still fascinating, well worth listening to.

Interview with former Minister of Interior of Iceland, Ögmundur Jónasson--the man who in 2011 kicked the FBI out of Iceland after they arrived uninvited to attempt to frame Julian Assange--on the arrest of Julian Assange and the persecution of journalists and those who expose war crimes.
"Are we going to let them do this and stay quiet, or are we going to stand up, throughout the world?"
*I mention during the interview a Ukrainian journalist but unfortunately didn't say his name: Kirill Vyshinsky, please see:

RT had me on yesterday to discuss Ukraine's kill list & my entry on it.
I highlighted Canada's cozy relationship with Ukraine, including with the Nazi battalions, Chrystia Freeland's Nazi-collaborating grandpa , and why I feel safer living in Russia than I would were I back in Canada where Ukrainian nationalists & Nazi supporters run rampant and could easily harm or kill me.
I also spoke of how while independent Canadian media reached out to me for an interview, concerned about the kill list entry & my safety, Canadian state-funded media, CBC, reached out to me to attempt to set me up for an interview for what I assume is their pending smear piece on me--and that the CBC journalist's email to me made zero mention of Ukraine's kill list, but what he did mention (my participation in a tribunal on Ukraine's war crimes) could only have come from him reading my entry on Ukraine's kill list as that tribunal was not widely publicized in English or by myself, but is on my kill list entry. Thus he & CBC prioritize pushing war propaganda over addressing Ukraine's kill list which threatens the life of a Canadian journalist.

Search "Putin's Palace" and you will come across the shitty propaganda of team Navalny, who have seemingly employed halfwits who thought their photoshop of Putin swimming in a Russian river (come Palace pool) and of the run-down would-be hotel would go unnoticed
(it didn't: https://twitter.com/27khv/status/1354100563756113922 ) (photoshopped photo on their website: https://palace.navalny.com/ )...
...Team Navalny doesn't know the difference between Russia's coat of arms and that of Montenegro (https://twitter.com/mfa_russia/status/1355524965697781763)
...And to quote Valentina Lisita (who subtitled this clip on the fake exposé):
"The interior design reeks of Las Vegas casino-hotels "luxury". These guys never saw 5 star Swiss or Russian hotels."

RT:
"With its supposedly lavish furnishings, long swimming pool and digital dance studio, an opulent manor said to belong to Russian President Vladimir Putin shocked viewers of a documentary made by Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny.
Now, however, the very existence of its gilded corridors and plush carpets has been called into question, after a film crew from the Moscow-based Mash news channel paid a visit to the property in Gelendzhik. On Friday, the reporters released their footage on the Telegram messaging service.
Having gained unprecedented access to the site, the journalists weren’t greeted by butlers or security guards, but by “an entrance without a gate,” they said. Instead of a luxurious coastal home, the channel’s editor-in-chief, Maxim Iksanov, described it as “a big pile of concrete.”
Surrounded by scaffolding, the building has been only partly completed from the outside, while the interior is effectively a shell, with wires hanging from un-plastered walls. Across 16 identical rooms, bags of concrete are stacked up, with the swimming pool and much of the garden still unfinished.
The scene is a far cry from the picture put forward in Navalny’s investigation, titled ‘Putin’s Palace’. Realistic, if far-fetched, virtual renderings, supposedly based on architectural plans, were shared widely online when the purported exposé was published earlier this month. A number of outlets even failed to mention that the images were mock-ups, rather than accurate representations. Video of the estate shot by drone reinforced the scale of the property.
Mash says it gained access with the help of a construction supervisor who has been overseeing work at the site for years. The existence of the house, on Russia’s sunny Black Sea coast, has been known about since 2012, when UK state broadcaster BBC News claimed it could be Putin’s summer bolthole.
At the time, the Kremlin said the allegations were not based on reality, and spokesman Dmitry Peskov repe
