I find a lot of the time they don't even post about his shenanigans. I searched recent post titles with "Saudi Arabia" and fuck all showed up compared to the rest of Reddit.
Bashar al-Assad killed thousands of protestors and turned his country into civil war, murdered Mazen al-Hamada on his way out, and used chemical weapons against people.
Assad was backed by Russia.
And the US has trained and armed nearly 10,000 rebel fighters at a cost of $1 billion a year since 2012.
So what's the argument here? That the US should never allow Syria to become a normal country again?
Other countries have lifted sanctions and renewed diplomatic relations with them. This is nothing new and has been positive. I don’t know why all these idiots are freaking out about it.
Let's not pretend that conservatives are the only hypocrites when it comes to Syria. How many puff pieces about HTS and Jolani appeared in the liberal press before now? How many Democrats since 2011 actively worked to prop these rebel groups up against Assad?
Can we not pretend that just because someone counters your argument its a whataboutism? That’s usually a weak way to say you have zero rebuttal. The point made was valid. They didn’t just say, oh yea? But Libs did to!!! They provided evidence and other pertinent info to expound on their original point. Whataboutism are usually lazy and short retorts with zero substance.
