No that’s reality. I’ve explained to you my take, if you want to have wooden binary view of the world okay fine, but don’t impose that on others.

I'm offended that you exist sucking up oxygen that can be used to support intelligent life forms on this planet

Last time Serbians did it everyone got so concerned - they illegally invaded and bombed Belgrade back to the Middle Ages, partitioning Serbia, carving out Crimea and Donbass Kosovo, Bosnia and Montenegro totally not to landlock Serbia.

When Biden friends do it - crickets. Wearing the blazer works kids. Take note.

Another prime example that iron fisted secular dictators suppressed far more dangerous religious zealots all over the middle east.
How many times did we label someone a tyrant and help overthrow them, only for the country to turn into one big blood orgy?


The world was rather obviously better off with Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Hosni Mubarak, Ali Abdullah Saleh and Bashar Al-Assad at the helm of their countries.
Trading ISIS for Al-Qaeda isn't a win for America or Syria.

Next question: What, if anything, or nothing, can the US do at this point?
I mean the first and most important thing to do when someone is spilling milk all over the fucking place is to vote him out of office, but we're left with all this spilt milk.
There is a genocide unfurling in Syria right now, and on top of that it will also almost certainly be a foothold from which terrorism is exported abroad
That matters both to the mantle of responsibility of American as world police and to our own interests down the line.


Russia preserved its interests in Syria by just abandoning Assad and striking a deal with Jawlani to keep Russian bases in a live and let live mutual avoidance. This also exposed just how insanely inept the American intervention was, when we were only prodding the Syrian civil war in the first place to needle Russia and try to provoke them into a costly intervention. And its also the precedent that clearly shows how any ill considered intervention now would likely harm our interests and cost us blood and treasure. Russia didn't make the mistake, we shouldn't either. The question is, what could we do, with minimal risk and involvement?
We could try a carrot and/or stick approach to coerce the Al Qaeda leaders of Syria into line, either threatening them with tomahawks and assassinations if they continue massacres, or try to buy them off with 'foreign investment' conditioned on their good behavior. The two classical approaches of American imperialism. But we'd also be cementing their hold on Syria, either legitimizing them with aid or giving them the mantle of a resistance to American that would survive airstrikes alone. And even if we could sway their short term genocides, they will still operate a totalitarian islamist state that kills minorities and exports terrorism.

well, another impossible situation that Biden created for Trump to try to un-fuck

~1700 killed, including women and kids? Video verification of dozens of these slaughterings, and this doesn’t even register on western MSM reporting?

I hope a day comes when these editors and their handlers get what they deserve. Not firings not public shame but something way worse. To me they are complicit in this. A month ago they were singing praises to the new ‘reformed and inclusive’ rebels today as dozens of videos surface of wholesale slaughter, nothing.

Assad was a brutal dictator responsible for countless atrocities and war crimes. He would still have been the lesser of two evils during times of peace. But we were no longer living in such a world. Fact of the matter is that Assad had been unable to keep a lid on the powder keg, his country had already descended into utter chaos and bloodshed. By the time he was toppled by al-Sharaa, Syria was in an unsustainable zombie state, economically, socially, politically.

Simply put, Assad had outlived his usefulness and his presence only delayed the inevitable moment when the demographic Sunni majority would take over the country and exact revenge on the Alevites and all other minorities. Could Syria have remained in an artificial stasis for a couple more years under Assad? Probably. Was a full Assad victory on the table, the kind of victory after which his rule is able to sustain itself again (without constant backup by Russia bombers)? Absolutely not. Once his foes grouped and mounted a proper offense, the Assad regime collapsed entirely within days, which goes to show how hollowed out and baseless his rule had become.

What is happening in Syria now was always inevitable in the long run, the bandaid was simply ripped off quicker than the West had anticipated.

This is bs, the terrorists were financed & armed by the USA & Israel to fight Assad. Terrorist uprisings could have been crushed immediately with US support of Assad, a bit irrelevant since those terrorists were created by the old regime too but yeah.

They supported megaterrorists on a false pretense of "Russia bad"

Israel is not aligned with these groups. In fact, the Syrian border remained quiet, which was beneficial for us. Israel had no intention of initiating any action in Syria—what happened was simply a consequence of dismantling Hezbollah and revealing how weak was the Iranian regime

Israel built hospital on its border, Israel didnt fund any group and we only declared recently we are protecting the druze communities in southern Syria.

The rest is propaganda
