..... and no one should put all the blame on one man ... he isn't that powerful or persuasive
It's a complicit government that had decided to allow this orange menace to do as he pleases because it benefits some wealthy owners.
It's a lot easier to blame one man because it would remove the complicity of a large organization of people that are driving all this.
Yes, and?! What will americans do about it?!
If this isn't enough to flex your second amendment rights, kiss your fucking country good bye. We'll be building a wall on the 49th
Lifting sanctions on Syria is not wrong just because Trump does it. Biden/Harris would probably have done it too, and rightly so because this guy as the ruler of Syria is the best the US can get.
The US invaded the Middle East though, so resistance was to be expected
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
MAGA supports this.
Republicans support this.
Maybe trump just wants to fly a plane into it for revenge?
None of this is for the United States. It's all for him. The greedy little piggy.
This all reminds me of a conversation in Star Trek Deep Space 9. Season 5 episode 20
For context Quark is talking with his mother Ishka about the qualities that the leader, the Nagus, of their hyper capitalist society should have.
Quark: Of course not. He was willing to throw our entire economy into chaos just so he could grab power.
Ishka: Sounds like a true Ferengi to me.
Quark: A Ferengi, maybe, but not a Nagus. A Nagus has to be better than that. His personal greed has to reflect the public’s greed.
Calling the interim president of Syria a 'former terrorist' is... Well, it's something. I notice that not too many people are talking about how a large number of people that are in high-level Israeli positions were also terrorists that killed British diplomat families when Israel was trying to become independent. But when it's a brown dude...
He forgor 😔
Solve it like the French
That's illegal!
So, are mods here still going to delete comments that openly wish the PA sniper had just been 2 inches to the side?
Huh?
Not that long ago CNN was writing puff pieces about how he'd "moved on" from his radical past. Around the same time, Biden removed a bounty the US had had on him. He's capitulated a bunch to Israel and done just about everything he can to appease the US.
Some of us flag burning commies are critical of him ~~because we blindly hate anyone on America's side~~ for capitulating to Israel and privatizing the economy, and have been skeptical about the mainstream narrative of him moving past his past. We were also skeptical about this whole project of arming "moderate rebels" like him in Syria, fearing that it would destabilize the region. But even I would say, now that he's in, that trying to replace him would probably just destabilize the region even further.
Idk who this Ed Krassenstein is but his name is red in Shinigami Eyes and his bio describes himself as an "AI and Crypto futurist" so he's not one of ours. So, uh, is this based on a coherent, informed position on Syria, or is this just a knee-jerk reaction to a headline?
If the US shouldn't accept Jolani as the leader of Syria, then what should they do? Find some more moderate rebels to support against the previous moderate rebels it supported? Have Israel and Turkey annex the entire country? Keep sanctioning them forever for no reason no matter how much they capitulate and cooperate? What exactly would that be aiming to accomplish?
It only counts if they gave him an itemized receipt, with the word "bribe" at the top, followed by two columns...one labeled "quid" and the other labeled "quo". And it needs to be notarized.
Kill all the Americans you want as long as you bribe the toddler-in-chief...
Open corruption. Absolutely WTF.
Elect a corrupt businessman, get a corrupt official. In a way, I'm glad his grifts are so obvious; I prefer 'buy me a painfully obvious x and get y ' rather than the constant, covert insider trading. We know what business he's doing. I'm going to admit that I prefer that to vote-buying, lobbying, and Senate committee corruption.
This could have been avoided if one dude had better aim.
Fred Trump?
That would've been a glorious day.
This post reeks of Israeli propaganda. Ahmed al-Sharaa renounced al-Qaeda many years ago and has a lengthy, demonstrated record as a moderate, inclusive leader who fought both the Assad regime and ISIS at the same time. A moderate Arab leader who protects ethnic minorities is a threat to the Israeli narrative about their neighbors.
It's still corruption tho. Whether or not they misrepresent that dude I know nothing about doesn't take away from the fact that Trump is as easily bribed as a toddler.
No argument here about Trump, but I think the misrepresentation is problematic
Agreed, so far I prefer this guy over Bashar al-asshat.
Wait, were we not loving Al-Sharaa months ago when he took the reins of the transitional gov't?
The post is criticizing Trump...
Really, calling someone “a known terrorist” is not a criticism?
Al-Sharaa is great, this post is not.
I don't see a source.
Did you try looking it up? https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-says-will-remove-us-sanctions-syria-2025-05-13/
lifting of sanctions on Syria at the behest of Saudi Arabia's crown prince
Formerly known as Nusra Front, the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham was al Qaeda's official wing in Syria until breaking ties in 2016. HTS was officially dissolved in January.
Doing Business with LITERAL TERRORISTS is a BIG BRAIN BUSINESS MOVE that will HELP the US!
