"One of the groups involved here, Ahrar al-Sham, is said to be an Islamist group which received aid from U.S. and a bunch of Gulf oil-producing countries. This is from a different source."

It's obvious that we in the U.S.A. oppose the new evil Axis, including the governments of Iran and Syria trying to help the two larger nations of that Axis.

North Korea has been an ally of the Syrian government for decades. North Korea built a nuclear reactor for the Syrian government about 10 years ago. The Israelis destroyed it with an airstrike. North Korea has also helped the Syrian government with a missile program. It’s not only “bad news for” the U.S.A. It’s bad for everyone.

Bashar is much kinder than his father was. After loosing the Six Day War to Israel, Hafez al Assad simply murdered his military leaders.

wonderful tweet find. Nothing has changed except Syria has reclaimed all of its territory from Isis and it it time for us to leave their country. Every day we invade that sovereign country is a violation of international law. That is unquestioned!!
