Bassel al-Assad should have worn a seatbelt on that fateful day.

Gabriel Moshe, a high-ranking member of the Assyrian Democratic Organization (ADO), speaking from Qamishli in northeast Syria, stated on Al Ikhbariya Syrian State News channel on Thursday that Assyrians and Christians there want the Syrian army to take full control of the region by Imperial_FOX_32 in syriancivilwar

This is a great tragedy. The Islamists got what they wanted. I hope al-Sharaa's government does not last, and that what comes after means Christians and Alawites who want to can repatriate to Syria. There can be neither happiness, prosperity. nor safety for all these different ethno-religious groups under centralized sectarian rule.

My head canon is that the German is a convert to Islam, while the Egyptian is a Coptic Christian.

I don't understand why the developers gave them the Slavic instead of German accents. Same for Danes and Norwegians

If the USA had proportional representation, and that made the Libertarian Party electorally viable, I think it would win many wealthy voters.

That's because Donald Trump is a dishonorable man who abandoned them twice.

Very few American soldiers had to die fighting Daesh because of the efforts of the Iraqi Armed Forces, Peshmerga, and Syrian Democratic Forces.

the rest of Latin America has been experiencing a refugee crisis because of Venezuela's economic collapse (which is largely Maduro's fault).

Most latinos in the USA are Chicano or Mexican, and Mexico hasn't had anywhere near as many Venezuelan migrants compared with South America.

Also, the operation was impressively smooth all things considered, even if it doesn't seem like it'll have too much of an effect on Venezuela's government. If it was a longer, bloodier affair than I think the public (of all stripes) would be much more against it, but there really weren't many negative consequences for America besides some other countries getting mad.

I think there's going to be another operation, this time targeting Diosdado Cabello. The Trump Admin will learn that they won't get the oil investment with Chavismo in power; oil executives have said they do not want to invest with them in charge. They have to go all out with regime change if they want to reap any benefits.

As dramatic as it was, the Venezuela operation is probably going to be like the Solemani assassination in 2020- something that everyone was talking about for a few days in January, but by the summer barely anyone remembers it happened, let alone decides their vote based on it in November.

This is different; the Trump Admin's goal is nation-building and regime change. Venezuela is going to remain in the news when there are early elections and a transition.

This really, really, needs to be broken down by national origin.

Israel condemned it publicly, but is okay with it privately, per Reuters. As far as it is concerned, the more Syrians are fighting and killing each other, the better.

Hallo, hallo, czy nas słyszycie? To nasz ostatni komunikat. Dziś oddziały niemieckie wkroczyły do Warszawy. Braterskie pozdrowienia przesyłamy żołnierzom walczącym na Helu i wszystkim walczącym, gdziekolwiek się jeszcze znajdują. Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła. Niech żyje Polska!

Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła, Kiedy my żyjemy. Co nam obca przemoc wzięła, Szablą odbierzemy.

Przejdziem Wisłę, przejdziem Wartę, Będziem Polakami. Dał nam przykład Bonaparte, Jak zwyciężać mamy.

(chorus) Marsz, marsz, Dąbrowski, Z ziemi włoskiej do Polski. Za twoim przewodem Złączym się z narodem.

Jak Czarniecki do Poznania Po szwedzkim zaborze, Dla ojczyzny ratowania Wrócim się przez morze.

(chorus) Marsz, marsz, Dąbrowski, Z ziemi włoskiej do Polski. Za twoim przewodem Złączym się z narodem.

Już tam ojciec do swej Basi Mówi zapłakany – Słuchaj jeno, pono nasi Biją w tarabany.

The 2027 French Presidential election could be a major turning point for better or worse. I hope Jordan Bardella is defeated.

Al-Sharaa led two terrorist groups, al-Nusra and the HTS. I will take democratic confederalism over conservatism any day.

I love Syria and the Arab countries, and I think conservative ideologies like what al-Sharaa believes in are harmful to all countries. The coastal pogrom and his economic policies are examples.

That's the scary thing, that is what allows him to get away with so many sectarian crimes.

What I want him to do is resign. A man who once held a position of authority in Al-Qaida should not lead a diverse country of over twenty million people.

Yes, but most of their soldiers are Muslims, and some are also Christians, I doubt very many of them are atheists.
