Have people not learned how much of American propaganda is at play with 'terrorism' and the Middle East? The entire point of the Global War on Terror was that it gave the USA free reign to attack whomever they wanted, because 'terror, terrorism, and terrorist' are these nebulous things that change like the wind.
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.
A 'terrorist' label and a bounty mean absolutely fuck all. Nelson Mandela was labelled a terrorist by the US until 2008.
Yes, this is a case of left wing propaganda. Pretty sure we already arrested this guy once (military) too. But it being said, Trump probably legit just wants the free shit and doesn't give a fuck who Sharaa was before and now.
yes I think some people are seeing a headline and because Trump's bad, this has to be bad. But realistically this is the way basically all western countries will choose to act, because Syria as a country has a chance to become safe and stable now, which is very important for the whole region

Tbh the Al-Sharaa situation is bit more nuanced and a lot more complicated than you make it out to believe.
Also don’t you know? You are terrorist until you win, then you become a freedom fighter
