    i mean with the iran-saudi normalization, the BRI's continued advance, and even israel seemingly starting to distance themselves from america, this seems like the point in the game where they either have to accept defeat in the region or start going apeshit

    im not convinced they are actually capable of going the necessary amount of apeshit at this point in time but they gotta at least go through the motions right?

      exactly that , like an old Monkey that simply is to frail and was apeshit all this time anyway so "Apeshit" is not a realistic option anymre.

      I keep hearing about how we literally cannot build bombs fast enough to fling them around Ukraine. You'd think we simply wouldn't have enough money left in the banana stand to start yet another war along the Mediterranean.

    TERF Island's media machine getting mad about Assad's $1B palace is pretty rich, given that King Charles currently reigns from a castle worth ten times as much. But at least there's no crisis amongst the poor in the UK right now—right?

      The United States more or less colonized Rojava, but years ago faced regional control setbacks regarding Rojava/Kurdish leaders deciding to abandon independence in favor of Syrian gov support and the avoidance of continued conflict with Turkey (a peace which the United States was not going to negotiate or maintain for reasons).

    $1 billion palace? Lol is it his personal home or is this a government home that future leaders will also live in? If it’s the latter then $1 billion for a presidential palace in a war zone is pretty fucking cheap

    If any of this shit was true they wouldn't be writing headlines that way. Simple as.

    Most mainstream headlines are understandably written with emphasis in mind, and so-called professional columnists know to avoid anything redundant. If you're writing your hundredth consecutive article on "The Dictator Assad, Who Kills His Own People" (why always that line specifically), and most of the western news-loving world is already following the saga, you shouldn't run over the whole plotline again in the title.

    But if your job has a bonus objective besides "Inform the public as efficiently as possible," and you absolutely need them to interpret it certain ways, well then you do shit like use a natural disaster and a preexisting civil war as reasons to hate a president.

    The way they talk abt him you'd think his full name was Bashar Al-Assadwhokillshisownpeople, but still have a hard time coming up with evidence when it matters. That kind of thing should be obvious and discussion worthy to the public by now. It should actually stick, on its own, like a real revelation about a real Murderous Dictator always does, but it won't so they'll just keep forcing it til they lose those Rebel Held oilfields or Assadwhokillshisownpeople dies of old age.
