If you have a problem, If no one else can help and if you can find him. Maybe you should still hire somebody else…

Crickets on this site. As much as I loathe the other site, that’s still where the party is…

Of course. As a NATO member, Turkey’s backing of the new Syrian government will put it at loggerheads with the Netanyahu government’s attempt to start a new war in Syria and maintain a Russian presence there.

Worrying news about possible IDF intervention in a Damascus suburb. Family and friends all worried about attempts to partition the country. This is probably the most dangerous period in Syria’s history 😞

First morning of Ramadan. Feeling okay so far but missing not having a coffee. Glad I woke up before sunrise to have some food and water.

I'm not surprised Trump & Vance sold out our allies, our values, our way of life. I've known since inauguration that the country as we've known it for 250 years is dead. But today's disgraceful display in the Oval Office was like watching the autopsy. Disgusting.

Time for revolution & rebirth

What President Zelenskyy endured today is what Syrians had faced from most of the world for the past 13 years - β€œwhy don’t you make a deal with the person who is trying to kill you”. There are some things you can’t compromise on πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Good on Zelensky for not letting himself be cowed and bullied and for standing up for his country ❀️

I have never seen anything as disgusting as that. Genuinely no words.

Watching the humiliation of Zelensky in the White House by Trump and JD Vance is cringeworthy and utterly shocking. Putin is loving this.

Agreed. I’m not sure yet what the effects will be for Syria but hoping it leads to peace

We will rebuild our country. We will educate our children. We will fix what is broken, and heal what is harmed, Israel and Iran won’t break us.

The utter weakness in Syria today on the economic, political, and military levels are all because of the disastrous Baath & Assad family era. Over fifty years of murder, corruption and oppression

Israel is bombing Syria in spite of every statement and assurance from the new government that we want only peace
