Why not- the Syrian leader Assad first supported the al Qaeda groups in Syria and allowed them to gather recruits fro Europe via al Qaeda’s Milan Cell, etc., to fight the US in Iraq. Now he gets some blowback from his old AQII buds.
Isn’t it interesting how the elites think they can control these guys and use them for their own geopolitical purposes, and then there’s - blowback.
(I remember when Von Papen told the German businessmen they should support Hitler because Hitler would suppress the Communists, and he (Von Papen) could control Hitler.)
