Could we please stop? He's a jihadist saying pleasant things to Europeans and Americans with nobody caring whether they are true.
Everyone in Syria is facing their own personal jihad - best of luck to them.
The louder the west screams about him being a Jihadist, the more I trust him to do the right thing in Syria
Good instincts and all but he always been a hard core salafist. Leftists were calling him that all last year. Its just now that Trump's in power liberals can pretend that they were always against him.
The west doesn't scream. The west condemned Alawites for not liking to be massacred.
And this is stupid. Inverted signal is the same signal, just inverted. It's not independence of thought.
Hmmm, are you sure about that? I feel like there was a notable party using that event as justification for crossing over the Syrian boarder but maybe that was a fever dream
I feel like your last paragraph ignores my last paragraph.
One of the reasons Israel is so fucking hated by all ME smaller groups is because it casually pretends to maybe this time possibly protect them, and usually does nothing of the sort, causing more ruin.
Your last paragraph was kind of meaningless
.... I mean kinda? Israel has been a belligerent anti-arab neighbor since 1948 and has caused nothing but ruin. There's a hell of a lot more reason for their distrust of Israel than their choices of proxy militant groups.
He's at least trying to put on a facade of meaning them, which is about as good as Syria has had it in my life time.
No, he isn't. He's worse than Assad, the reason nobody says Assad was better is because Assad directly caused this by killing opponents, disarming strong parties (which could have resisted jihadists) and in general destroying the country. So he's worse than Assad, but a direct consequence of Assad.
I'm certain he's more consistent than Assad and eventually this leads to a more stable and economically viable Syria. Note how I'm not saying anything about human rights and civilization.
It's pretty hard to be worse than the guy whose used nerve has on his own people and turned his country into a major producer for the international drug trade.
You just have to be the guy who turned a half-Sunni, half-Alawi city on the coast into half-Sunni, half-dead. Then after calls for stopping the murders and loads of videos with dead men, women and children he ... forbid filming that.
