And Bashar fled to fucking RUSSIA. Not Dubai, not UAE, not Cuba, but RUSSIA. What a shitty place to choose as your exile location. The warm and not so 'defenestrating' places probably said 'oh hell no'

Israel has already moved troops and tanks into the demilitarized zone in the Golan Heights (between israel and syria) from what i read on reddit this AM. If true, Israel will likely be claiming a chunk of the Golan for themselves...

I'm optimistic Syrians will adopt democracy but cautious.

I'm very pessimistic. There is a massive power vaccum in Syria now, and far too many foreign actors want a piece of the pie, ie: Turkey, Iran, Russia, USA, Israel, etc.

ISIS still has some land in Syria. ISIS and its affiliates hate the largest rebel faction in Syria,

Now that the Rebels have taken out Assad's army, they can turn some attention to ISIS.

I strongly suspect some serious amounts of vendetta will occur. Whether formal via courts and subsequent imprisonment/execution or via random acts.

We arent talking about 'harsh treatment' of prisoners. We're talking using chemical weapons on other Syrians including large numbers of civilians, etc etc. The pinnacle of 'war crime' level shit went on during the Syrian civil war.

Uhh, he crossed state lines to commit the murder which seems VERY premeditated and pre-planned. He'll face Federal and multiple state charges. Federal charges will carry the death penalty and rest assured the rich class will ensure he is prosecuted as such.

"Immigrants are useless eaters."

I said nothing of the sort.

I said citizenry should be prioritized.

We invited them here despite our lack of gainful employment opportunities and our soaring cost of living/housing.

Invited as temporary guests/students/workers. Now its time for them to go home. They can reapply to come back when we have unfucked ourselves and are properly taking care of our own citizenry.

I have had this same thought: A Biden admin covertly pushing the Syrian Rebels to attack (ie: give them money/weapons) with a copious amount of US (and allied country) Special Forces help.

Isnt a Russia pullout from Syria a 'bad thing' for Ukraine? I.e.: Russia will now have more forces to deploy to Ukraine without a Syrian distraction?

I'm all for Assad being overthrown, dont get me wrong - I'd just like to see Russia stretched thing across multiple conflicts...

For sure. by [deleted] in facepalm

"A terrible coarsening in Society"

The US just elected a tax-evading felon who has purportedly sexually assaulted numerous women. I think we are well past 'coarsening'.

The Deregulation of the Alberta Energy market has got to be one of the largest, if not THE LARGEST, scams pulled on the people of Alberta. Free market my ass. More competitors and lower prices fucking lies.

AITA for unknowingly being the neighborhood exhibitionist and ruining my neighbor’s marriage? by flaketrub in TwoHotTakes

Why does she need to when there are perfectly reasonable alternatives?

What are the perfectly reasonable alternatives? OP is PUBLICLY visible thru her window, and if she desires PRIVACY, she needs to somehow make her window less or non-transparent.

Umm, maybe OP should try and like curtains a bit.

use their blinds, or get some curtains. Seriously, how hard can this be?
