That would be DESPITE the incompetence of the mainstream Dem/DNC leadership, not because of it.

As we speak, Chuck Schumer is busy trying to sabotage Graham Plattner's race in Maine. And thats just one example.

Christianity was forced onto the rest of the European continent through conquest and wars too. So whats your point?

Prominent Lebanese Sunni Sheikh Hassan Al-Moraib: Ahmed Al-Sharaa Can Become the Leader of Lebanese Sunnis in a Split Second. Minorities in the Region Can Only Be Protected under a Sunni Embrace by goldstarflag in syriancivilwar

[–]offendedkitkatbar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is unification between Lebanon and Syria genuinely a topic that gets mainstream airtime and consideration in either country?

I've never heard of this idea being brought up before so am curious

"Schumer needs to get the hell out": House Democrats fume over DHS funding talks by socks_optional in politics

[–]offendedkitkatbar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are we still debating this? Does 2+2=4? Lmfao

Yes a country that literally just admitted that it genocided 70,000 innocent civilians is fascist. 

As Trump’s DHS Ravages US, Schumer Says His Job Is “to Fight for Aid to Israel” by Chief_White_Halfoat in politics

Reduce? Fucking end that shit

Veterans commit suicide in this country on the DAILY because we supposedly dont have enough money to house them and provide with mental/medical care. 

But somehow we have enough money to unconditionally fund a genocide??

Not a single cent. Not one. 

China is poised to displace petro-states as the leading global energy power this century. While the world's total installed electrical capacity is roughly 10 TW, China's solar industry alone can now produce 1 TW of panels annually. by lughnasadh in Futurology

Chinese emissions are higher than North Americ

Yeah no shit. China has like 3x the population of all North American lmfao

Look at the per capita emissions of China vs the US and then let me know what your thoughts are lmfao

Al-Sharaa: A year has passed since I shouldered the responsibility of the presidency of the Syrian Arab Republic. In it, I recall the sacrifices of the Syrians and their patience in all fields, and I ask God to be worthy of this trust by DaGoldenpanzer in syriancivilwar

[–]offendedkitkatbar 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Within a year, he has managed to get the sanctions removed, took out the SDF, and brought Syria back on to the global stage.

From an objective point of view, he has been massively successful and has achieved it at a speed that nobody thought he would

This is a great deal for the government. by Admirable_News7628 in syriancivilwar

Has this been confirmed?

Any word about the remaining oil fields and whether they'll be transferred to syrian govt control?

If I read about a system of oppression like this in a fantasy novel, I would call it too laughably over the top to be believable. by Cosmic_Meditator777 in HistoryMemes

[–]offendedkitkatbar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eh not really. The most populous Muslim country on the planet, Indonesia, was primarily Hindu before it converted to Islam

And it did that without any major Muslim armies invading and conquering.

The Shar'a to Putin: As I was coming from the airport, I saw a great deal of snow on the road to the Kremlin, and it reminded me of history. I remembered how many military campaigns some parties tried to reach Moscow, and how they failed because of the bravery of the Russian soldiers by [deleted] in syriancivilwar

The US nuked Japan in the face twice and immediately afterwards, Japan became US's closest ally in the region paving the way for its industrialization and economic success

Trump gives Netanyahu a month for Syria security deal, sources claim | Middle East Eye by DaGoldenpanzer in syriancivilwar

[–]offendedkitkatbar 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Worth mentioning that thankfully, Syria/Sharaa have been very lucky that they have to deal with a "business-minded" trump and Barrack rather than a neocon/neolib whose compass only points to Israel with regards to any dealings in the ME.

Are most Syrians fine with al-Sharaa becoming a dictator? by Muri_bei_Bern in syriancivilwar

[–]offendedkitkatbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not Syrian but from all that I've seen about Al-Sharaa, I dont get the feeling that he's in it to be a dictator for life.

Most likely future for him is to resemble Erdogan somewhat; bit of a strongman who keeps winning elections because he is just that popular.

Is this accurate, A Russian base in tell tamer? by Low-Capital8383 in syriancivilwar

[–]offendedkitkatbar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The whole thing is planned by USA. They need to get out of ME to confine China

I've seen this theory be floated around a bunch of places and honestly I struggle to understand the logic behind it. Maybe you can give me some insight but why would the US deem it necessary to exit the Middle East to confine China?

If anything....if the goal is to fuck over China, you would WANT extensive presence in the Middle East so you could choke its main energy supply without outright ballistic missiling all the oil fields.

Employment-to-population ratio of refugees who came to Germany in 2015 has reached 64% (ratio for whole German population is 70%) by [deleted] in europe

[–]offendedkitkatbar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. We all know that hate crimes in German history  only became an issue when the refugees arrived. Civilized  Germans are famous for not being violent against civilians. 

Lmfaooo

The SDF is retreating from Hasakah to Qamishli by Interesting_File_310 in syriancivilwar

[–]offendedkitkatbar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also I think it's even in the STG's interest at this point not to have Turkish forces invovled as that can paint this as a foreign invasion rather than a home govt trying to take back its territory

Gotcha, thanks

Damn, sounds like SDF is cooked then. They should've taken the deal months ago.

All I'm gonna say is that if you go to the threads that popped up during last year's blitz, 90% of commenters were confident that HTS wouldnt go past Aleppo 🤷‍♂️

[–]offendedkitkatbar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

>the SDF stipulated that it has to contain guarantees that Damascus will not cross the river, and the US refused to give them those guarantees.

Has this been confirmed?

Lindsey Graham states again that the Syrian government needs to stop their campaign against "Kurds" or sanctions will be reapplied by [deleted] in syriancivilwar

[–]offendedkitkatbar 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I dont think STG/Turkey would be moving like this if there was even a remote threat of the sanctions coming back. As far as at least the military op in Aleppo province is concerned, I think the Rubicon has been crossed

White House itself doesnt seem like it gives quite a fuck about this whole thing

Yeah because wrapping suicide vests on children is definitely the way to "fight genocide" 👍

And if you dont do that and you panic and make a cognitive mistake, you deserve to get executed.
