Exactly, it’s a high profile case and it makes the ruling class uncomfortable if it goes unsolved.

Could somebody explain to me why western media isn’t talking about a full scale unprovoked invasion of Syria by Israel. I’m just trying to understand.

There does seem to be inconsistency between the shooter meticulously planning things out and then this guy conveniently popping up at a McDonalds with all the gear and confessing. Seems like the first thing you’d do would be to ditch the gun and the silencer. If the gun was 3d printed, he could’ve literally just melted it down. On the flip side, if he wanted to get caught then he didn’t have to do all this complex planning and could’ve just stayed at the scene and surrendered.

Or CNN could’ve just not given an interview to a terrorist. Crazy idea I know.

exactly

I didn’t make any vague contentions. I made a very clear statement of what I think these interviews indicate. Given the upvotes on the post, it’s pretty clear that vast majority of people understand that as well. Yet, here we have you making clown noises. Stay mad little buddy, it’s adorable.

I’ve posted two CNN interviews for contrast. I’ve also explained to you in detail what makes this relevant. What part of that are you still struggling to comprehend? Perhaps English isn’t your first language?

Still waiting for you to state what specifically needs explaining. Evidently you’re unable to articulate that in the word salad you wrote.

That’s the gist of it, although it’s a different CNN report in the second interview I think. Clearly, CNN can find reporters who will wear a head scarf if they actually want to.

The date is right in the first pic, it’s from September 2022. The second just happened days ago.

We’ll see how it develops. They’re clearly in on it, but they are a minority in the parliament.

What part of the post needed explaining in your mind?

You’re so right, turning Syria into something like Libya with open slave markets is far better for the people living there.

It’s premature to say that the rapid collapse of Syria actually benefits the west. The status quo was that Russia and Iran had to devote significant resources to prop Syria up. Now they were able to pull out their assets while the west is stuck trying to manage the situation.

Incidentally, there is a RAND paper that warns against this exact scenario. It basically argues that putting Syria under stress is beneficial to the US, but there is a risk of over commitment.

• The United States should oppose any and all policies that seek to partition or divide Syria. A collapsed, divided, or fractured Syrian state would likely contribute to further instability and radicalization in Syria and the region.
• Syria’s relatively strong national identity and experience of centralized authority reinforce the prospects for a unified state.
• Lessons from recent conflicts, including U.S. interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, suggest that postconflict security, governance, and reconstruction in Syria will require viable, centralized state institutions.

Russia and Iran aren’t stupid, and they likely saw that the west was going to flare up the conflict in Syria again. One option was to pour resources into Syria to fight off the jihadists. This would be long and protracted quagmire just as it was last time around. The other options was simply to withdraw and let them take it. These groups all hate each other, and they’re not a cohesive fighting force. They’re already starting to fight each other just days after taking over, and it’s only going to get worse.

The west wants to have a compliant regime in Syria and that requires using coercive methods that will inevitably breed resentment from these groups. This is basically what happened in both Iraq and Afghanistan where the insurgents ultimately turned on their masters.

On top of all that, Israel is now invading Syria in a big way, and they’re unlikely to withdraw. It’s only a matter of time till they start getting attacked, and this will force the west to keep pouring resources to prop them up. In effect, this flips the script on Syria. Instead of Russia and Iran being on the hook propping it up while the west can keep destabilizing it relatively cheaply. It is now the west that’s stuck with a very volatile situation.

The fact that you’re actually proud of your transparent fishing attempts is really just the cherry on top. 😙🤌

You asked a loaded question which you tried to use as a hamfisted smear. I love the fact that you can’t understand just how transparent you are. Meanwhile, western regimes fucking around the world instead of spending resources on improving lives of people living in the west is precisely why the west is in decline. I see this is another direct cause and effect relationship that’s too complex for you to comprehend.

Is your follow up question about scabs meant to go somewhere or you’re just attempting to be clever again?

Absolutely, everybody should have a choice over that. The obvious problem with your line of arguing is that CNN could’ve easily found someone who would wear a headscarf to interview the Iranian president as well. The fact that you couldn’t see the obvious flaw in your argument really highlights the quality of your intellect.

I’m against western hypocrisy and white washing ISIS Octonaut.
