For the Americans and NATO members, those who oppose them are terrorists. Once they bow down to them, they are national heroes, and vice versa. Remember that Osama Bin Laden was once a personal friend of the White House, and the same for Saddam Hussein.
OTAN is a bad circusπ€¦π€‘
Let me guess, HTS should impose a totalitarian cult of personality and support a war of colonial aggression, started by a revanchist dictatorship, before you support them?
Americans have repetitively tried to put USA-friendly persons as leaders of various countries, which betrayed them once they were in place. It's actually a bit embarrassing for them. Throwing planes into towers makes you a terrorist, also.
Non sense, nowadays all countries are free to chose their alliances and US only tries to use economic power to try to push countries to their influence like China does. Russia uses the flattening countries method killing many innocent people what is against international law agreed by Russia too...
Nobody would have ever imagined that Jolani could sit in that building in a handful of days. With the same rapidity, and without nobody if they expect it, the dictatorship of Iran and Russia will fall.
The interim Syrian leader, who now goes by his birth name, Ahmed al-Sharaa, reportedly "came across as pragmatic" to the US officials.
The United States decided to remove a $10 million bounty on his head after the interim leader committed against the use of Syrian soil for terrorism. π
The US of A has successfully reformed the head of a fanatical head chopping terrorist group into a peaceful democratic leader in a few weeks, just like John Connor taught the Terminator the value of human life. How touching.
Jolani currently WANTS to become a respectable political figure. If he will turn into one, depends of several things. One of them will be if he will be successful on that path. The West can help him in this direction. Or it can repel him and push him to his old extremist self. Nothing without risk.
"The West can help" is completely orientalist and out of touch. Why would his becoming "a respectable political figure" depend on our Western standards? Since when have we supported a respectable leader in the Middle East? Since when have we even *helped* the region politically?
By "a respectable political figure" I don't mean "by Western standards", but someone who is respected by Syria's neighbors, Syria's minorities, Syria's women, etc. He has some work ahead, because - for good resons - many of these are not easily convinced they can trust a former Al Quaida fighter.
And indeed, as Syria's economy has been utterly ruined by the Assad Regime, people in Syria are asking the West for help in reconstruction, lifting of sanctons etc
At least he made an effort to attract the west with values and commit to it for now. Can't remember extremists who even tried. And no I don't consider Taliban to be equally believeable. One have to look more than skin deep, unlike most armchair commentators.
They won the bloody war, the challenge now is to win the peace. They seem to have made a good start. For Syria's sake I hope things continue to go well.
Ok that looks promising that real progress may be ahead. Stepmby step. I cross my fingers π€πΌ for a #lastingpeace in #FreeSyria for all Syrians ποΈ
People are short sighted, its so much easier to just use stereotypes than engage your brain and think for a second. Where is Xi Ping his bushy beard? Clean shaven and nobody even talks about the Uyghurs anymore. If he had a big beard the world would've remembered them, its so sad
