It was only a matter of time before the current regime running syria was going to be removed by the west.

Expect “jolani is a dictator” and media consent manufacturing for another campaign in syria in the next couple of months.

I knew it was going to happen eventually, but not even 6 months into his rule is insane ngl.

    Yeah. I have scorn for Arab leaders and sectarians, but not Arabs in general just like the liberal class of Iran that thinks the imperialists can be worked with. Just scorn for compradors/ sellouts in general. I just didn’t understand how aggressive the sectarianism until recently. But I do think it has to do with material conditions. Going against Iran and shia people and normalizing with the zios does provide material benefit and makes life relatively comfortable. I respect anti-imperialists and the downtrodden, I don’t care the religion, sect, nationality, etc.

    I do however find it crazy that people from like Pakistan will say Iran sold out Palestinians when outside of Israel, dictator zia ul haq is probably responsible for the high score of Palestinians killed (I do have to research here to do).

    Just like turkey sells the zios, azeri oil or the gulf states do massive business with the zios.

    I think the lesson here is look at ground realities and apply your principles to that. Not think you are perfect just because you are Shia or Sunni or Christian or whatever.

    Edit: to add al jazeera is hugely responsible here too. They are a Qatari comprador outlet.

      A lot of anti-regime Iranian diaspora also say that “The mullahs have sold out yo the US” and believe that the two countries are working together… for some reason.

        Which is hilarious because the underlying premise there is America is bad but then they also want America to do a regime change there. They have to pick one.
