Syria is the first major conflict of the century that exposed how fragile, shallow, moralistic, and colonial Western political thinking actually is.

No, sweet fools, I simply dislike the balkanization of a country to support Zionist aims in the region, a decade of lost lives, a ruined nation, and more selfishly, that it opened the path for the Zionists to easily bomb my relatives in Tehran.

The instant a white person conflates discussion of the imperial interventions in Syria with being an Assadist, they get the block from me. It's not debatable, it's not questionable, we have WikiLeaks about it and videos like what you just posted. Extremely creepy behavior from them

These are system-level discussions.
They don’t hinge on anyone’s personal morality.

Washington has long relied on Salafist militancy as a tool of divide-and-rule which is an extremist ideology it helped nurture because it serves the interest of empire.

How many intelligence memos, leaked documents, and official reports need to surface before the public acknowledges that Syria experienced an externally engineered, CIA-backed destabilization campaign?
