For years, the U.S. and the West undermined and sabotaged the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. Now they’ve succeeded and radical jihadis have taken over. You just know what’s going to happen next.

Re: “For years, the U.S. and the West undermined and sabotaged the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.”
Just for perspective, sabotaging the regime of Bashar al-Assad was a continuation of sabotaging the regime of his father, Hafez al Assad, starting no later that 1979 when Syria was included on the inaugural U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism. (Pause here to note that cosmic hypocrisy makes the Empire of Chaos, Piracy and Joyous Genocide go round.)
Obumma gave us the term “moderate rebels” to the re-organized perps of 9/11 that were added to the Syrian civil war mix in 2012 or so. As if that wasn’t stupid enough … and contemptuous enough of its presumed audience, THIS time its WOKE Jihadists … in the ongoing destruction of governments and lives that Israel instructs the US to eliminate.
Certainly, one day soon, said woke Jihadists will fertilize the desert at the hands of even more vicious CIA recruits, no longer in the gaze of fawning US media .
The interesting problem rising is what will the Empire do about its Kurd “allies” when Turkiye begins its long desired and planned elimination of them.
Regime change. I note that, well, everyone is avoiding the very real conversation that has to be held: a lot of democrats KNEW Joe Biden was mentally not up to the duties of his job. Grab a crayon and a brown paper bag and start listing the names. What’s the MINIMUM? What’s the lowest possible number of people who knew or should have? Corrupt or incompetent, either ought to be a deal-breaker. The entire cohort has to be removed from office. They are just as dangerous as Bogeyman Trump.
