    al-Sharaa is the best thing to happen to Syria in decades

    Could we please stop? He’s a jihadist saying pleasant things to Europeans and Americans with nobody caring whether they are true.

      He’s at least trying to put on a facade of meaning them, which is about as good as Syria has had it in my life time.

      The louder the west screams about him being a Jihadist, the more I trust him to do the right thing in Syria

        The west doesn’t scream. The west condemned Alawites for not liking to be massacred.

        And this is stupid. Inverted signal is the same signal, just inverted. It’s not independence of thought.

          Hmmm, are you sure about that? I feel like there was a notable party using that event as justification for crossing over the Syrian boarder but maybe that was a fever dream
