It's a whole new unknown. #Israel decided that means bomb the shit out of them and seize more Golan territory for safety buffer zone reasons. Obviously, they are winning points with the new #Syria government and will likely their new ally shortly. The rest of the world just sorta looks the other way
That is a new one on me. Last news blerb I heard from the UN officials they were just asking for sanctions to be lifted to aid in recovery of #Syria. I am pretty sure that the Golan action was unilateral and the rest of the world is just looking the other way and pretending to see nothing.
Well they are effective - unbelievably quick campaign and collapse of the terrible Assad regime. Millions - Millions of Syrian refugees can now return home.
Why do you think I am an idiot ? And historically, Syria has been a place of religious pluralism and coexistence - so there is much to be hopeful about. Better than watching huge numbers of people drowning in the Mediterranean - seeking to escape the regime I think.
Russia will likely pull forces out of Syria and deploy them in Ukraine to strengthen and make permanent their territorial gains. The oldest Christian communities in the world will be destroyed in Syria and Lebanon along with what’s left of Palestine, as liberal idiots cheer the end of Assad’s rule.
‘Opposition’ fighters in Syria…. In Palestine & Lebanon ‘terrorists’. All players seeking freedom from oppression & violent occupation. Some semantics lead to Genocide!
In another 24 years, the headline will read:
"US opposition forces have declared the 24-year rule of prez. trump & successor, don Jr, has ended. Both 'leaders' have fled the country.
War trials are planned.
Women are now free to go work and go to school.
Joyousness abounds!
This is what democracy Damascus-style looks like!
Thousands of prisoners/detainees have been set free. Hundreds of thousands of refugees and displaced people/families have already begun the journey back home.
And this is only day one!
No. The US stopped backing opposition factions years ago and the one that actually did the deed here…well the US literally has a bounty on their leader.
America 🇺🇸 left the military 🪖 artillery worth of billions in Afghanistan 🇦🇫. They had all the capacity to destroy it, but they never did it. I think the Afghan leaders know it. Bashar would have done the same. No one trusts Russia and succeeds.
While it seems like good news and it's probably best for Assad to go, I feel it would be naive to think external forces didn't have a role so we can only watch as the story plays out. So sad to see another country be destroyed

Too early to celebrate
