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.

Everyone in Syria is facing their own personal jihad - best of luck to them.

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.

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

No, he isn't. He's worse than Assad, the reason nobody says Assad was better is because Assad directly caused this by killing opponents, disarming strong parties (which could have resisted jihadists) and in general destroying the country. So he's worse than Assad, but a direct consequence of Assad.

I'm certain he's more consistent than Assad and eventually this leads to a more stable and economically viable Syria. Note how I'm not saying anything about human rights and civilization.

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

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

I feel like your last paragraph ignores my last paragraph.

One of the reasons Israel is so fucking hated by all ME smaller groups is because it casually pretends to maybe this time possibly protect them, and usually does nothing of the sort, causing more ruin.
