I find in endlessly funny that we've been screaming at the democrats to leverage Israel more to end hostilities in the ME without any real movement from them, but suddenly Trump is willing to say 'fuck it' just because the right people happen to be bribing him.
If the right people keep trump's palms greased for long enough we might actually end up on the right side of history by accident, and if that's not comedy I don't know what is.
Someone posted a good picture of the locking mechanism called the "ratchet effect" that democrats/neo-liberals provide for the ruling class.
Essentially, Republicans get to do whatever they want to enrich our rulers, and democrats are there to stop the workers from reversing any of the gains.
By siding with al qaeda?
Tell me you don't know who Ahmed al-Sharaa is without telling me you don't know who Ahmed al-Sharaa is.
Ahmed al-Sharaa is the guy whose dogs are massacring Alawites right now, mostly done with that.
Can I have my A for this answer?
You get partial credit for vocabulary but an F for misrepresentation
What he says is less important that what he does.
I agree, which is why I find it significant that he split ties from al-Qaeda despite the significant internal pressures not to.
I guess we'd have to wait longer than a month to see if he makes good on seeking justice for acts of brutality against Alawites, but I don't think you can say al-Sharaa isn't a massive step in the right direction and deserving of positive diplomatic response to his reforms.
Edit: as long as we're condemning associations with al-Qeada, here's an interesting related report
I am just going by the meme, you caught me.
Props for owning up to it.
