    Tell me you don’t know who Ahmed al-Sharaa is without telling me you don’t know who Ahmed al-Sharaa is.

      Ahmed al-Sharaa is the guy whose dogs are massacring Alawites right now, mostly done with that.

      Can I have my A for this answer?

            I agree, which is why I find it significant that he split ties from al-Qaeda despite the significant internal pressures not to.

            I guess we’d have to wait longer than a month to see if he makes good on seeking justice for acts of brutality against Alawites, but I don’t think you can say al-Sharaa isn’t a massive step in the right direction and deserving of positive diplomatic response to his reforms.

            Edit: as long as we’re condemning associations with al-Qeada, here’s an interesting related report
