always has been.

the al-quaeda turned into what it was because of US money and support.

This needs to be posted in every single LOOK WHAT HE DID NOW thread

Americans will just get mad post on Reddit and then go back to watching YouTube, Twitch in the hovel of their choice until ice comes for them and they will say no no not me you said it was the “others”. They are not watching the news. Bills to make furries the bad guys. Bills to make 2SLGBTQIA+ bad guys. Starting to grumble(by grumble I mean “we need to outlaw this stuff” talk) about what should and should not be on Twitch and other platforms. Grumbling about gamers and certain games. The list of buried stuff in the bills that are coming out is staggering.

They Came by Pastor Martin Niemöller 

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

The sanctions on Syria should be lifted, but WTF. I mean honestly. It will be interesting to see what Israel does from that as they generally want Syria destabilised. Could further add to the rift between Netanyahu and Trump.

Trump's MAGA is a terrorist aligned personality cult, confirmed.

MAGA is unjust and stupid.

Lifting sanctions on Syria is not wrong just because Trump does it. Biden/Harris would probably have done it too, and rightly so because this guy as the ruler of Syria is the best the US can get.

Talleyrand, I think, took bribes for shapes of the borders in treaties he affected.

Don's your uncle!

I really hope for once Congress does its job and MAGA actually fights him on this, since some have already been saying this is too much even for them, starting with the plane.

Let it be on the record yet again that Trump does not have a luxury plane retrofitted with millions in taxpayer money - not because he refused the bribe, but because he was barred from accepting it. Refusing a bribe =/= Having a bribe forcibly taken from your hands.

Let him not gain anything from it or this, but still have that ethic shitstain smeared all across his face as he tries to gaslight the world with his lies. Not that he wouldn't try to claim that since he doesn't have the plane, it means he "refused" it, or "it was a joke all along".

Huh?

Not that long ago CNN was writing puff pieces about how he'd "moved on" from his radical past. Around the same time, Biden removed a bounty the US had had on him. He's capitulated a bunch to Israel and done just about everything he can to appease the US.

Some of us flag burning commies are critical of him ~~because we blindly hate anyone on America's side~~ for capitulating to Israel and privatizing the economy, and have been skeptical about the mainstream narrative of him moving past his past. We were also skeptical about this whole project of arming "moderate rebels" like him in Syria, fearing that it would destabilize the region. But even I would say, now that he's in, that trying to replace him would probably just destabilize the region even further.

Idk who this Ed Krassenstein is but his name is red in Shinigami Eyes and his bio describes himself as an "AI and Crypto futurist" so he's not one of ours. So, uh, is this based on a coherent, informed position on Syria, or is this just a knee-jerk reaction to a headline?

If the US shouldn't accept Jolani as the leader of Syria, then what should they do? Find some more moderate rebels to support against the previous moderate rebels it supported? Have Israel and Turkey annex the entire country? Keep sanctioning them forever for no reason no matter how much they capitulate and cooperate? What exactly would that be aiming to accomplish?

Is this maybe taken out of context. Normalising relations with the new Syrian government is happening and Sharaa could have floated as a sign of more open trade and capital flows.

I think it's more likely to Sharaa trying to tell Trump what he wants to hear very successfully.

Trump is corrupt and a Trump tower is a very low price for normalising relations, Sharaa is playing to Trumps corrupt tendencies.

If the American public doesn't know what corruption is and does, I'm starting to wonder which countries do know.
