President Joe Biden on Sunday called the extraordinary fall of the Assad regime in Syria “a moment of risk” and “historic opportunity” while offering a offering a blueprint for how the US plans to support the region.

“It’s a moment of historic opportunity for the long-suffering people of Syria to build a better future for their proud country,” Biden said from the Roosevelt Room. “It’s also a moment of risk and uncertainty. As we all turn to the question of what comes next, the United States will work with our partners and the stakeholders in Syria to help them seize an opportunity to manage the risk.”

Biden pledged in his remarks to engage with Syrian groups as the country transitions toward an “independent, sovereign … new government that serves all of Syria.”

“This process will be determined by the Syrian people themselves,” Biden said. “The United States will do whatever we can to support them, including through humanitarian relief, to help restore Syria after more than a decade of war and generation of brutality by the Assad family.”

Biden’s comments come as President-elect Donald Trump — who takes the oath of office in just over six weeks — has urged a hands-off approach to the conflict, saying Saturday that the US should not get involved.

Joe Biden is pretending that he's still the President.

Well, you know how it is. The Democrats never saw a war they didn’t want to get us mixed up in.

Just like clockwork...

Another fruitful long campaign for War Inc. Might take 50 years or never to do this rebuilding.

“ has urged a hands-off approach to the conflict, saying Saturday that the US should not get involved. ”

This comment related to the ousting of Assad — their business — made while events were ongoing prior to the outcome.

To my knowledge Trump has not addressed his ideas on the post-Assad Syria.

“Joe is regurgitating the DeepState words.”
Exactly. They gave the old puppet a piece of paper and told him to read it, or else.

Apply the George Costanza rule. Do the opposite of what he wants to do and every outcome is perfect.

You know how Gramps wants to supervise the building project from the folding lawn chair, with a blanket over his lap.

Basically he said we'll have to let it "play out". Then we'll deal with the aftermath.

It's going to be a failed state for a while.
