I guess the United States is going to have to save the regime.
“Rebels”
Must be folks we’re backing, otherwise we’d call them a pejorative.
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.
To avoid any confusion, simply refer to this handy chart:
No ISIS.
Need to make a new chart. I don’t see Houthis or Kurds
The Russians have been propping Assad up. But they don’t have the spare resources they once had due to the war in Ukraine.
Should we believe that the “rebels” are better, worse or the same as the Assad regime from the standpoint of the US and the West?
Or do we have no clue?
Assad had 8 years to organize his army.
Worse.
But remember in 2016, Obama was in charge.
Today it's Biden
My opinion: Muslim rebels that will impose a Muslim theocracy is worse than bad guy secular dictator. We saw that with Iraq, Libya, and other Middle East Countries. You might even throw Iran in there, although I don’t think the Shah was that bad. Neither side in Syria is good, but one is worse than the other. And as bad as Assad is, he at least protected the Syrian Christians (as far as I know).
More than anything, the Shah was corrupt. So that prevented Iran from developing economically.
Sooo….
Is there anyone in the picture to root for?
I hope not. I’d like to see the US stay out of this one.
Assad.
Tourists had to cancel plans to spend Thanksgiving weekend there. Back to plan B of visiting Haiti and Somalia. Or Chicago (with a Kevlar vest).
Map....
What’s new about discussing Turkey on Thanksgiving?
Diagram....
Soon——quite soon——we won’t be able to rely on Biden and Kamala to explain the technical details of this type of chart.*
We’ll be on our own.
Maybe AOC?
* Kamala: First of all we don’t put piles of folders in cabinets in offices now. Over our heads in the sky up there is the Cloud.(smiles, looks upward and points.) I’ll explain it all later.
We fly top cover for Syrian rebels.
