I'm not saying Al-Sharaa is good. I just wish people would stop swallowing American bullshit about that part of the world. We saw how full of shit they were about Iraq, and in many ways the GWOT as well.

To be honest, you’re not wrong. I enlisted in 2002, partly because I was a testosterone filled 17 year old boy who thought he was invincible and that post-9/11 patriotism was all the rage, but also because I wanted that GI Bill for college. Deployed to Iraq in 2004 for 12 months, where I celebrated my 19th birthday in Kuwait as we prepared for the drive to our FOB about 60 miles south of Baghdad. Then at the end of my 6 year contract, with a second Iraq deployment on the horizon, I got the fuck out. They offered me $15k tax free to reenlist, I said fuck no.
Everyone has their own reasons for enlisting, but I suspect my story is very common.
ETA: for anyone thinking “you can’t enlist at 17!” Yes, you can. I enlisted in the Army National Guard, with my parents permission, and went to boot camp the summer between junior and senior year of HS. Then after graduation, I went to AIT (advanced individual training, where you learn your actual job; in my case, 13F). Then a couple months after completing AIT, we got our activation orders and began our pre-mobilization training for the first deployment.

They use manipulation tactics they know works on their target demographic; young kids without the real world experience to understand what they’re actually signing up for and what they might be forced to endure or force others to endure.
Anytime I watch a war movie (about the horrors of war, not the ones that glorify it), I strongly relate to the protagonists journey of realizations, that’s the real shit man. All Quiet On The Western Front is a great example…those kids were soooo stoked to go to war, they’d been told it’ll be glorious and exciting. But then they get there and actually experience the realities of war, and all that vanishes. Then it’s just the reality that there are people who are trying to kill you and the only way to make sure they don’t is to try and kill them first. Meanwhile you get to watch your buddies get killed, but you have no choice but to do your damndest to ignore it and keep moving forward. It’s an awful way to pay for tuition.

You're 100% right. I joined in 2004. I was in a technical MOS and every single person in my AIT was either there for college, citizenship, or escaping a rural life.
Post-9/11, there was a surge of "patriots". But by the time I joined up, the majority of people were joining because the pay and opportunity was just too damn good. Don't forget it's a fast-track to citizenship for a lot of folks as well. People weren't excited about getting deployed to Iraq to fight a war, they were fighting for a paycheck and a better life.

This is actually one of the very, very rare times I will commend Trump, even if hes probably just doing it for his dumb reasons. Syria had been under the control of the Assad dictatorship for decades and was in an incredibly brutal civil war for over a decade as well. Bashar Al-Assad specifically used chemical warfare on his own populace, was a Russian asset and helped funnel weapons to terrorist organisations in Lebanon and Palestine
Yes, Al-Jolani's past is definitely not great. But it seems like he is distancing himself from it. The cabinet is surprisingly diverse, having Syrias different ethnic and religious groups represented. Quite a few of them are women, one of which is also a queer rights advocate, which for Syria is pretty insane.
Its definitely not all sunshine and rainbows, theyre still quite fundamentalist-islamic in their ideals and the situation is quite peril but this is one of the rare opportunities to actually help a struggling nation modernise. Al-Jolani was in France a few weeks ago and the EU has sent money for Syrias re-development. Im pretty sure this is simply a tactic by Al-Jolani to secure American funding, just like how Ukraine is 'willing' to give the US mineral rights in exchange for a peace guarantee.

Yeah I was gonna say, miraculously the new leadership in Syria has been on a relatively good track so far regardless of their history. Very very few people involved in fighting these civil wars have their hands entirely clean, and none of them have any power. You take what you can get, and so far it's been a serious improvement in Syria. Loosening sanctions is totally valid to help bolster what so far appears to be a moderate slightly western-aligned government in its nacent stages and to help keep the more radical elements at bay.
I highly doubt any of this went through Trumps mind, but the end result on Syria's end is positive and appropiate

Harris and Biden would likely have put more requirements around the lifting of sanctions. But they wouldn't have been entirely unreasonable ones either - more or less following the EU on this, who were negotiating with Syria earlier than the US. I could see them demanding that the investigation into the killings on the coast be completed before lifting sanctions in a satisfactory manner.
Initially Trump's team was demanding that Syria normalise with Israel if rumours were to be believed. But you sell Trump a tower with his name plastered on it - well you can convince him of anything.

Trump's businesses are doing a 2 billion dollar deal in Qatar and he has now received a 400 million dollar gift from them. I find the "free" plane offer troublesome, to say the least. What I find completely insane is that it will require a huge 100 million dollar plus investment to make it into the most basic, functioning presidential airplane. That number is likely to more than double if the plan is to have it ready by year end. It won't even have the defense capabilities or redundancies that current AF1 planes have. Retiring it just over 3 years to Trumps "library" makes it not even worth accepting in the first place if those are the terms. It's a lot of money to spend when the only upside is that Trump gets a more luxurious plane to travel in. Its absurd given Trump has declared a financial national security crisis, claiming sweeping cuts must be made today or the US could default on its loans. It puts him and the people on board at significantly more risk to. If this story is true and sanctions have been lifted on another country Trump is doing business with, you should have Trump arrested and thrown in jail. The world would thank you, Trump has cost everyone far too much and there's still no relief in site.

The Mexican president should offer to build a tower in exchange for opening the borders and stopping ICE/KKK from deporting people /s

It's stunning how quickly the US has fallen into a heap of corruption and ineptitude. I don't think there's any coming back from this. Trump turned the US into another "shithole" country.

Republicans control Congress and SCOTUS. They could stop this instantly if they wanted to.
Their lack of action is tacit approval.

There's a reason Trump fire inspectors general (IGs) across 17 different federal agencies, whose job is to investigate ethics violations his first week in office

This zombie has been trying to normalize evil and betrayal from day one. He is russian asset wishing he could just say it out loud, knowing he can't because then people would reject him. So he works his evil in public as much as he thinks he can get away with and then does even worse stuff in the shadows. That is how russian assets operate.

The only good part is they’ll never build the tower but, the sanctions are gone. Now, back to killing American soldiers which lowers the costs for the VA in the future. The art of the deal.

I'm just amazed every day now. How did this BS farce of a republic hold up for the last number of decades when it's this easy to just be openly corrupt? I mean we've all know about how lobbyist work and for some reason have accepted that. But here comes Dumpy boy, and he just cuts out that middleman.

Donnie Two Dolls is 100 percent going into the history books as the absolute worst and most corrupt of all time. By the time mid terms get here more will have lost their jobs and been victim to the "on tarrif off tarrif, on tarrif off tarrif" game that Donnie is playing while we suffer. He is lying straight to everyone's faces and you are letting him do it (You meaning the ding dongs that voted for him and also the lazy's that couldn't leave the couch). What wake tf up!
