Who has massacred more innocent civilians, women and children? This guy or Netanyahu?

janiax.bsky.social•83 days ago

from all these, Assad is still firmly on top

kim-philby.bsky.social•82 days ago

Poor Bashar. His brother was supposed to do the killing. He was supposed to be a doctor.

testeria.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yeah, I would argue he was just a figurehead and real decisions were made by somebody else...

kim-philby.bsky.social•82 days ago

If anyone was pulling the strings, it was the officer corps installed by the father. They are Alawi from the Syrian coast north of Lebanon. Aside from Israel bombing naval installations, I’ve heard nothing from that region.

👍🏽👍👍🏿👍🏾👍🏼👍🏻

Surprise that the Zionists didn’t drone him.

testeria.bsky.social•82 days ago

My main question is: is he an Israel's asset?

wbwilson.bsky.social•83 days ago

While I am glad to see Assad gone, I worry about what will fill the void. Past history of the region indicates an ultra religious sort of government rising. We all remember Iran in 1979, right?
And if there's anything sane people know; religion and government should not mix.

The best rebrand since Madonna came out as Middle Class English Lady in 2012

Alright, maybe I have some preconceptions about Jihadists.

estanis.bsky.social•83 days ago

I couldn't read it because it's paywalled and I have not money...

theirminsul.bsky.social•83 days ago

Why are so many liberals trusting of Islamists as being reformed characters ?

Would they give David Duke a chance as POTUS if he said he had renounced Nazism ?

Hasn’t the Taliban actions since taking power taught anyone anything at all ?

angelsfuri0s.bsky.social•83 days ago

The populace allowed this.

vicstar64.bsky.social•83 days ago

Well I heard he was al kaida or how ever you spell them hope he really has changed his ways but who knows

wokeisdecency.bsky.social•83 days ago

He’s probably a Turkish puppet now or he won’t last long.

testeria.bsky.social•82 days ago

Israel's more probably. They did not invite Turkish "rebels" into the government...

lukealtonr.bsky.social•83 days ago

So anyone else think he looks like Fidel Castro

thelovechain.bsky.social•83 days ago

😂

orhan-sabanci137.bsky.social•82 days ago

My first thought on seeing his photo!

elvingjack.bsky.social•82 days ago

I think he’s going for the Zelensky look.

buckscience.bsky.social•83 days ago

We can be both thankful for the fall of the Assad Regime, and also worried about Syria's near future, correct?

ipsedixitnews.bsky.social•83 days ago

Absolutely, it's a complex situation with mixed emotions.

freeangelica.bsky.social•83 days ago

Truths can exist in multitudes.

variancewithin.com•83 days ago

Sí

freenando75.bsky.social•82 days ago

Is it true that his green shirt have Hebrew writings on it? Like he is payed by israel

sociaguy4110.bsky.social•83 days ago

I'm surprised Trump didn't Drone attack him when he was in power. 2200 drone attacks in four years, 5 times the amount of Obama and Biden. No wars, just high-altitude assassinations.

el-condor-pasa.bsky.social•83 days ago

Because Assad was buddies putin. Trump sure as shit was bombing more civilians than Obama which is why he killed an executive order to report on it regularly.

sociaguy4110.bsky.social•83 days ago

Exactly. I expected him to drone the then Rebel leader who is the new leader. By the way, 2200 is best guess since reporting became very sketchy under him.

umbrumray.bsky.social•83 days ago

There was a 'parede' of people in Latakia waving isis and HTS flags.
This is fine.

As the saying goes— you expected a Boy Scout?

vixenreclaim.bsky.social•82 days ago

Devil's advocate here.
People can change and for any number of reasons, I will wait to see what he does before I judge him.
Many people may call me stupid but after a decade in recovery I have seen changes in people that nobody would have bet a penny on, so I wait.

jamiazad.bsky.social•82 days ago

He pops up quick from side lines as Israel is in trouble… ever wonder biggest terror groups never attacked Israeli army?

michael-sterling.bsky.social•83 days ago

Basically, "...devil you don't."

kcrhetor.bsky.social•83 days ago

We can hope that his more moderate statements about the rebel coalition and his vision for Syria are true. Definitely something to watch closely. Regardless, he's the one Syria rallied behind. And Syrians should be in charge of what happens next.

realpolitqs.bsky.social•82 days ago

Meet the new boos, very much like the old boss.

cmdr-zin.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yep, this isn't the time for truly good things to happen.

I have a tiny slim hope, they'll turn it into a democracy and vote in a better man.

However only a truly good man gives up power willingly.

Its a shame you‘re putting this behind a paywall.

So, you will finance it via patreon?

Consolidation of power is going to produce a lot of collateral damage due to the various factions that have interests in the country. Feathers will be ruffled and conflicts over territories are inevitable, especially given the concentration of oil. Big egos always take advantage of chaos.
