🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's a really good one George and it's clean. Unlike mine 😏 when Damascus falls and it will Putin is going to lose his Ass-Ad in the middle east.
I did nazi that coming. A-dolf my cap to you on your dictator puns. Clearly the best I've Hussein. So, thought I'd get off the Papa Doc and quit Stalin...Caesar the moment and Putin my submissions. I just can't think of how to make my Marcos. Very Assad...if you know what Amin.
A gd day for all of us who stand against dictators. #CCP spokesman Lin Jian, in support of their ally Bashar al-Assad, just 6 days ago: “China supports Syria's effort to uphold national security and stability. As Syria's friend, China is willing to make active effort to avoid further deterioration.”
While other countries are fighting to be free, America, is sitting in a stupor while watching a slow motion coup take place by billionaire oligarchs. My grandfather & uncles who fought in WW I & II, & my ancestors who fought in the Civil & Revolutionary War would be rolling over in their graves.
I like to imagine that the Europeans and others are helping Americans prepare for that eventuality.
We will meet it when it arrives. God bless. 💙🇪🇺🇺🇦💜🕊
I have confidence in the courage of American people; but I don't have confidence in the courage of our representatives. But I agree, we will meet it when it arrives.💙
All jokes aside, Trump is currently twisting this to claim the moral high ground in this war by solely blaming Obama; omitting the fact that he withdrew US support, which allowed Turkiye to decimate Kurds, and thus, saw the rise of ISIS.
😆 They did too! One less Russian and Iranian ally, less threat to Israel, and now Qatar can build that pipeline sooner and Turks can one day move that gas to Europe and they'll be less dependent on Russian energy.
Am sure you are right there, D.B. - in some situations (like Syria) , there is no such thing as a 'win'. So now the world needs to assess how to handle the *next* set of fascists.
Bur Assad was bound to crumble once the Russisn & other support props were pulled...
I am completely ambivalent about Assad. He was a bad guy, but it doesn’t seem likely these guys are gonna be better. Hasn’t been the experience when either a us puppet or a Soviet/russian puppet get taken out so far.
Better than Assad, who ran torture prisons for decades. Way more people tortured and slaughtered so they'll probably be better. I think the international community will have better chances doing business with the rebels. The Turks will take the whole place over if it gets worse.
I love this and agree. Glad Putin gets a bloody nose somewhere.
But. As we in the west backed away years ago, majority of the democratic Syrian movement has been destroyed, leaving extremists in their wake. Those defeating Assad look like they could be as bad as Assad and Putin.
It has fallen to the rebels. I'm guessing Assad is.relaxing in one of Putins many fortified palaces. Let's hope they can form a better government for it's people. The rebels don't seem to be the democratic type. 🤞
I despise religious fundamentalists, but virtually anything is better than Assad. I see you concerned about the US, but not a word about the iranian theocracy or the ruSSian fascists who are the reason Assad was in power for so long.
We don't know yet what kind of govt they will have.
Yeah we do. Look at Afghanistan. Wahhabist rapists empowered to power by political deception, lying press and ignorant sheep. You support these crims you support Israel. You support Israel you support genocide.
It indeed is the question what kind of government they are going to get. If you ask me the resistance is a mix of Iranian backed shiite and former Al Qaeda sunnites.
And even better to see is that Russia has lost his ability to support Assad.
Russia is not able to fight on 2 fronts anymore. The Russian defense (and offense) have been signifantly weakened. There's a reason why Putin needs North Korean soldiers.
If Putin can't defend Syria and if Russians economy is as bad as is being reported, Russia must be close to collapse. It's unfortunate that Trump is taking power just in time to save them from collapse (which he will). We could be rid of them for good.
It's clear Putin has abandonned Syria. Russias army capacity has been stretched to the limit. There's a reason why he had to get cannon fodder out of North Korea.
But Trump, although he's Putins Puppet, will not be the guy who's able to help Russia.
Russia's running on a wartime economy and can't afford to either win or lose, as each would cause major economic and social problems. Putin's also desperate to avoid another Draft (especially of Russians - he's used far higher %s of minorities to date), hence the use of NK troops.
The economy is growing, likely due to oil exports - many countries still buy oil from him - and profits from resources extracted in the Sahel supranational region in Africa where former Wagner troops are taking over from the French [countries exchanging one form of pseudo-colonialism with another].
Assad was Alawite, a Shia, like Iran. The majority of Syria is Sunni. Without Assad, the Shia in Syria are vulnerable. NYT reports the rebels struck a deal with Iran to protect the Syrian Shia in exchange for Iranian troop withdrawals.
Times like this we need the international community to rally round, and not circle like vultures… great watching the people’s celebrations and renewed hope
Just when we have Putin completely overextended to the point of relying on North Korean troops, we are going to force Ukraine to concede and surrender territory. Shameful and tragic.
Maybe Zelensky will take out Putin & the Duma in a surprise attack right as Biden exits. If he could neutralize CHILD MURDERER Putin & his fellow CHILD MURDERERS, it would be absolutely glorious.

Now Trump has been elected again and is trying to install his clown cabinet we have already concluded America will not be a serious partner or ally for the next 4 years.
I'm not so sure. Trump subconsciously understands that his brain is wired incorrectly and that he is terribly flawed
The existence of similarly flawed leaders like Putin make him feel better about himself while leaders with integrity make him feel terrible. It's a common phenomenon with narcissists
Though all the statements of the leader (or who can be considered as) of the rebels that he won't install the next Islamic state I believe it only when I see it.
Until then I'm afraid that women and children will be on the receiving end of the stick again.
Al-Jolani is an extremist who's adopted a more moderate approach (probably superficially), but I'm convinced the rebels he's aligned with will want some type of Islamist theocracy.
On theocracy, listen to ex-Evangelical & son of a pastor on

I absolutely love you George but the “rebels” are HTS and essentially the new ISIS or Al Qaeda. They are not wanted to win by anyone but themselves. They are Islamic Extremists who want a state without freedom and are classified a terrorist group by the US. This is absolutely not good or funny.

Trouble is that Assad was brutal & hated.
Rough road ahead. Have courage and God bless. 💙🇪🇺🇺🇦💜🕊
We will meet it when it arrives. God bless. 💙🇪🇺🇺🇦💜🕊
While others are fighting for their freedom, America chose dictatorship. We know most didn't vote for #TraitorTrump , the election results say that
The next 2 years will be horrible for most people. And billionaires will try cash in.
They know America will not last long under him

Why don't you use your just platform to advocate FOR #AfghanWomen?

I know that's hard for your binary mind to process. But try.

See, I can play that game too. But maybe you can tell me why you have used a dogwhistle ("left liberals") to make your point?
Especially since it's known that in the recent decades, it were the Reps making the deals with dictators of all kinds.
They’re Takfiris.
Shame on you.
That’s Daesh. Al Qaeda.
They did 9/11

Syria won't become a democracy over night, but maybe this is a small step in that direction.
Good luck.

We don't know yet what kind of govt they will have.
We warned, we tried.
Nothing more to say.
Syria will become a second Iraq.
Religion is bitch.

A signal to Ukraine to not give in to Putin now.
My one hope is that Chechnya or another resistive oblast rises up. That could force Putin to withdraw from Ukraine.
But Trump, although he's Putins Puppet, will not be the guy who's able to help Russia.
But with the rebels taking over, I wonder if Putin wil get his aircraft home again.
I have donated to Ukraine, I urge you to do the same.
Until he gets fed up of him and he falls out of a window.
She had a preexisting Kompromat!
🤣😂🤣😂
They just approved a whole lot more money for Ukraine.

I don’t get all the excitement around the fall of the regime, but it’s very possible to I’m not properly informed.
It seems to me that, like every time with these « rebellions », we’re about to trade the worse for the worst. We haven’t learn since Rambo 3
It’s just that… well I hate religious fundamentalists and extremists even more.

And even with that and Assad gone it doesn't mean peace for everyone in Syria. Turkey is still hunting Kurds in the northern parts, for example.

That's awesome
I could use more sassy gay dad jokes in my life.
