Biden is sending as much aid to Ukraine as he can before Trump is sworn in, so we are still funding Syria’s terrorist regime too.
as the laundromat in the Ukraine is at its “sell by “ date now...they are opening the Syrian one
[It turns out Ukraine had long been assisting the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) fighters with intelligence and drones, presumably paid for by us]
WOW
Someone should share this with frenchie_zeeper.
He is always rattling on about terrorist alliances...
Ukraine’s gonna fund terrorists and Zeepers gonna Zeep.
Ah, see how that works? We wonder where the money went. US has a middleman that sends funds to the next globalist acqusition war using US taxpayer dollars behind our backs.
We are only finding this out becau....well you know why.
What a con.
Turkey is the key architect of the take down of Assad and will now assume primary responsibility for the support and good conduct of the new government. This fits with Erdogan's neo-Ottoman ambitions for Turkey to control Syria as a regional power.
Russia has lost a key ally and valuable naval and air bases in Syria. This is a blow to Russian prestige and power in the region. That is cause for distress in Moscow and celebration in Ukraine and elsewhere, if one does not like Putin and his regime.
Even more so, Iran has lost a key ally in Assad and an essential supply route to Hezbollah. This helps Israel and the US because it increases the vulnerability of the Iranian regime.
None of this negates the criticism that HTS is a terrorist organization. The deeper reality though is that Islamic societies are always run by brutal thugs. Put them in suits and give them diplomatic recognition and a reliable source of cash and weapons to control a country and they are a government. Put the thugs in uniform and they can be made into an army and police. Out of uniform, the thugs become terrorists and gangsters.
In Islamic societies, there are not enough pacifists or democrats to make much of a difference. The choice is between different thugs and what to make of them in the circumstances for the sake of American national interests.
With the HTS in power as a government, they are in the open and can be bribed, threatened, or killed as need be, collectively and individually. That is why the US has aircraft carriers and long range bombers. With Trump in office, we will have them at the ready and the will to use them. Peace (of a sort) will ensue.
