Well, you’re wrong; and denying it won’t change reality any more than it has in the past. Enough of the American electorate are bigoted sadists that they were able to elect one of their own into office *and *hand Congress to themselves; and it only gets worse from here.
The monsters won; it’s that simple. And there’s not really anything to be done about it.
Because he didn’t have the power to do so. Now, he can get far more people killed than that.
Hardly. His “policies” will cause the collapse of the international order, worldwide economic disorder or collapse, and multiple wars. With a very good chance of nuclear weapons being used.
1 Lobohan = 1 Human life…add this to itself about 300k times. These many people lost their lives in Syria partially due to Obama administration’s policy.
But mostly to the Republicans, especially their attempted conquest of Iraq. Which both destabilized the region, and destroyed the Syrian democracy movement.
And it’s not like Trump is going to do anything but make things worse for them. The best they can hope for is that he does nothing; he might well decide to “nuke ISIS” or some such lunacy.
I support Iraq war coz I think Saddam Hussain was a tyrant.
But Assad is liberal, secular, sophisticated, educated(a medical doctor)and sane person who USA tried to topple. It would have caused annihilation of non-sunni minority and more Islamic intolerance and backwardness (including against women, lgbt etc.) in Syria. So Assad had to stand up and fight the dirty war for correct reasons.
I would love to see you provide any evidence for at least one of these lies that did not originate with Putin.
Assad was never liberal. When he took over for is father, there was a hope that he would back off on the authoritarian rule of his father, but, instead, he imposed harsher rules.
There is no real evidence that Assad is sane.
The U.S. did not “triy to topple” Assad. After his own people rose up in rebellion, the U.S. asked him to step down, and when he ratcheted up the despotic terror, instead, the U.S. began providing limited support for the rebels after Assad instituted a policy of terror against his people.
Again, I would love to see some actual (non-Putin sourced) evidence for your false claims.
USA should have sided with Assad or at worst remained neutral. Even if I give you the benefit of doubt now, you should atleast realise how much bloodshed atrocities pain and agony American policy caused.
I think you don’t understand Trump…he is smarter than u think…he won the election, its no small achievement. You should appreciate how much he understands the ground situation and peoples minds…he understands difference between what’s Rhetoric n what’s practicable…he can be the best President of USA in a generation…
He won because he appealed to the most bigoted, sadistic, monstrous parts of the American public, who elected him because they accurately recognized him as a fellow monster. It didn’t require intelligence, it required personal vileness.
He also won because the election had the lowest voter turnout in recent history - he won because nobody thought it was even a contest or because they loathed both candidates. Being enough of a buffoon that people don’t take you seriously at all isn’t exactly a proof of great smarts.
