Most monuments honoring Bashar al-Assad and his father have been torn down - the Syrians have disdain for the al-Assad family - and as most autocrats now know, their day is coming.
Israel must be slow in taking credit that they played some role in freeing Syria - historians will reveal the truth.
Right now, Benjamin Netanyahu is appearing before the Israeli courts - after staying away and delaying the summons from the Israeli court - on charges of corruption and other serious issues.
The United States has helped Israel for all the wrong reasons.
While Israel may say and brag that it is a Democratic country, the only one in the region that it exists - it is not.
Israel has deprived the Palestinians of their freedom - it has used ploys the likes of " Administrative Determination " - incarcerating thousands of women, children, youth, men, and Elders and thinks nothing of such atrocities.
Israel does not practice the "principle of Proportionality. "
When bombing areas that involve citizens - infants, children, youth, women, men, Elders - those with compromised health - living near the area to be bombed - standard military protocol and mandates call for using " the Principle of Proportionality. "
The Israeli Defense Forces completely ignore this mandate - and have committed ongoing" crimes against humanity. "
The United States has given Israel - jets and laser-guided bombs, all sorts of ammunition, and communication equipment and built a Secret Site 15 in the Negev desert - to intercept missiles from Iran and other countries that are meant to land in Israel.
The United States panders to Israel without consent - and no meaningful dialog with the citizens of the United States.
Israel today has chosen to defy those in charge in Syria - Israeli soldiers crossed over to the buffer by Golan Heights - just because the Syrian army is not present - assuming that only Israel can do as it pleases - breaking International laws - and thinking to be the policeman of the Middle East.
While the innocent have suffered for so long and are enjoying their freedom, the Israeli Defense Forces - defy all decent and are bombing so-called chemicals of mass destruction - they do this in a manner that defies the sentiments of the Syrians - who want peace.
It is such nonsense that bothers those who feel Israel ignores the sentiments of others - and has no empathy.
The Israelis are now looked upon suspiciously - when Israel could have waited a little to carry on their plans for the safety of all parties concerned.
Today, amidst all the suffering and now the realization that there is freedom in Syria - the Israelis continue to bomb - their pretext is that they want to get rid of chemicals of mass destruction.
Why - how do they do that - when these chemicals explode and fill the air with poison - who do you think suffers?
The least Israel can do is have empathy for those who lost loved ones - those who have learned their loved ones have died in the jails and their death not reported to the families.
The Israeli Defense Forces have no mercy, no compassion, no empathy, and no sense of respect for other innocent human beings - in Israel, the Israeli government practices - "Administrative Detention" - thousands of innocent Palestinians linger in jail - waiting their turn to appear before a judge for years on end.
We know of rapes in the Israeli jail of young girls, women, men, and the leaders of Israel - more the right-wing Zionists - who assume all the land in Gaza and the West Bank belongs to them - and they act and do as they please. This is NO Democracy - it is a type of fake Autocracy.
Where is humanity among those who brag that Democracy benefits many worldwide?
We are quick to blame and criticize - other types of government, Socialist, Communist, and Autocrats of all kinds, each having their own hidden agenda and modalities of ruling.
The autocrats worldwide keep the people under them confined to rules that do not meet standards - International Laws - and the Constitution we brag about in the United States - and have selected an Autocrat - to be our next President of the United States - wake up America.
The jets the Israeli Defense Forces use are made in the United States.
If Donald Trump comes into office - he says he wants nothing to do with Syria.
The Kurds, Yazidis, Turkmen, Assyrians, and Arabs form a polyethnic segment of the population.
The United States has, in recent years - kept this area under control - the last time Russia was allowed to have power - was when agreements were made by the United States over air control - the United States and Russia - targeting ISIS.
With the fall of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorial government, the Russians have moved out of Northern Syria - prompting Turkey to try the tactics it tried before - trying to take over some areas - and thus opening old wounds with the Kurds - who have done heavy lifting working with the United States forces - to keep ASSIS at bay.
We must protect the Kurds and Yazidis who have suffered at the hands of ISIS - today, there are large camps with the wives of ISIS terrorists and hundreds of children - who have to be taken care of - their husbands - ASSIS have abandoned their wives and children.
The United States and the United Nations - are aiding the folks in these camps living in squalor - the ASSIS do not give a rat's ass. Many of the women belong to other segments - most non-Muslim and this issue is very convoluted.
Donald Trump and his cabinet members could not care less - it is a time bomb waiting to explode - with Turkey trying to take advantage of the situation.
The Kurds will stand their ground - many armed well - and stand their ground. The United States benefited from the Kurds - daring women and men Kurdish soldiers - and the United States must stand by the Ayardis and Kurds.
The Turks are now negotiating more to have complete control - something can be worked out - anyway, the Kurds and the Yardis must be guaranteed their freedom.
The only entity that can guarantee this is the United States - let us not have a repetition of Iraq, where the Kurds and Christians suffered.
The Ayardis, Kurds, Arabs, Assyrians, and Christians need our full support and protection - we are a Superpower that does the right thing - the United States of America.
First, it was Sadam Hussein who treated the Kurds like dirt - then came the ASIS before the United States took care of them and neutralized them - freeing the Kurds and Ayardis.
There is no one to take care of their nourishment and health in these camps - where all sorts of diseases are surging.
The laser-guided bombs are made in the United States - and the other ammunition is made in the United States - who is complicit if not the United States.
Joe Biden will have to reveal to us all - who have been following the madness for a long, long time - on the border of Israel and Syria.
The authors salivate the prospect of writing about what they know: the many international policies that have been abject failures.
At home, Biden did well with the infrastructure programs that will take 10 to 15 years to implement. He has also succeeded in addressing energy issues and preparing to build computer chip factories—now Taiwan leads in this field.
He has contributed to Cancer research and helped the LGBTQ community and the Trans community, too - Joe Biden supports women and supports women on all levels - where those who are narrow-minded want to suppress women.
Joe Biden had an excellent opportunity to support the Indigenous tribes - more those indigenous tribes - illegible to be put on the Federal Register - he still has a few weeks - to accomplish this feat - by Executive Order.
Joe Biden is a man who served our Nation; we generally love and thank him.
At the end of this tenure - he got screwed by Nancy Pelosi and others who forced him to step down.
History will reveal the details, and others will take credit for the projects and programs initiated by President Joe Biden.
He planted the good seed - that few do - that plant will grow tall and, as a tree, provide shade, and many will benefit.
Joe Biden, you have done well. May you rest your days in peace and enjoy good health.
The flag of the United States.
The United States of America is a land of immigrants.
The indigenous people are the only segment of the population that genuinely belongs to Turtle Island, also known as the United States of America.
All others are strangers - and someone like Donald Trump - should not consider himself an American - he is a traitor, and he does not adhere to the concepts of the United States Constitution.
Chief Sitting Bull of the Lakota Tribe.
Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce.
The United States has not apologized to the indigenous people of the land known as Turtle Island.
Many immigrants have come to Turtle Island to seek freedom and contribute their best to our Republic, the United States of America.
We have over 200,000 Syrians living in the United States.
We have close to 2 million Ukrainians living in the United States.
We have 11 million Mexicans living in the United States.
India, China, the Philippines, El Salvador, Vietnam, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, South Korea, and Columbia, among others.
Donald Trump's parents, his mother from Scotland, came here to Turtle Island as an immigrant - his father from Eastern Europe - his father a Jew, his mother non-Jew.
Donald Trump's parents were immigrants.
Donald Trump forgets that, and his disdain for people of color knows no bounds.
For all practical purposes, Donald Trump is autocratic.
When he talks - he talks from both sides of his dirty mouth.
Donald Trump enjoys the company of Vladamir Putin from Russia, Kim Jong Un from North Korea, of course, Bashar al-Assad - what does that say.
We had Joe Biden give a speech before he leaves office soon, in which he stated that we must help Syria while keeping ISSIS at bay.
We have 900 American soldiers - add to that 200 contractors - many armed - in Northern Syria.
We have the Kurds who work with the United States, and the Kurds make good soldiers, women and men.
Here comes autocratic Donald Trump - with his nonsense.
He has put out a statement on X, formerly Twitter - Donald Trump says the United States must have nothing to do with Syria.
Well - what do you say?
It is a crying shame the many idiots who voted for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is an anathema and will destroy our economy.
He daily, fosters divisiveness - how can a Superpower ever choose an idiot to become President of the United States - who is an egotistical maniac?
The man cannot answer any question without lying.
Ninety-five percent of the statements Donald makes when asked a reasonable question are far-left and primarily full of lies.
Recently, we witnessed what happened in South Korea.
We are witnessing what is happening in Ukraine.
May I ask and say, do you think we, the United States, will not witness some madness that Donald Trump deems proper when it is wrong - we can start with immigration and his hallucination with tariffs?
Antony Blinken is making his rounds. He has played games in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Gaza, the West Bank, and now Syria, and he loves kicking the can down the street.
Antony Blinken favors Israel - which, for all practical purposes, is bluffing the United States - why? The United States does not have a vetted International Policy - if we had one - we would not play second fiddle to China, India, Russia, and Israel.
Now, here comes an egotistical maniac, Donald Trump - the laughingstock of the world. Donald Trump favors Israel and will bend over to help Russia - he will make a deal with autocrats - just to win browny points.
Donald Trump is a narcissist, and as one, he is always focused on himself and his pet projects - for example - tariffs - tariffs will adversely impact the US - we citizens - and a cheat, liar, felon, a person who hurts women and rapes women - a man who should never, ever run for President of the United States.
We must support Syria as best we can. We should send our diplomats and other experts specializing in logistics, management, transportation, education, safety, health, and nutrition. We could also tap Syrians and others who speak the language spoken in Syria—and do it now.
Syrians are peaceful today and congregating - thousands of them - seeking the truth - the loss of over 80,000 innocent Syrians who cannot be found.
Syrian traumatized need help - so do infants, children, youth, women, and men. The elders who have survived and who bear the brunt of the atrocities - we must stand shoulder to shoulder and help - Syria.
As for Israel - the Israeli Defense Forces - they should not enter the Syrian air space and bomb what they purport to be weapons of mass destruction.
Let that action be taken by others - and done in an orderly manner.
More countries in the world consider Israel a rogue country - the International Courts have charged Benjamin Netanyahu and other high-ranking military officials - with crimes against humanity.
There must be a time now - when the Syrians should not be traumatized by bombing - maiming, and killing - to stop interfering in the affairs of other countries - seeking spies and other issues - that favor Israel. Right now, we are focused on the Syrians - in Syria - they need to have peace of mind and their health restored.
President Mikhail Gorbachev and President Ronald Reagan.
In 1987 - President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev - good friends - signed the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
This landmark agreement eliminated all intermediate and short-range ground-based missiles from Europe.
We forget - Britain and the United States disarmed Ukraine - when Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev was around - handed over 1600 missiles to adhere to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Force Treaty.
The implication of that treaty today - has put Ukraine with Russia - even as Russia invaded Ukraine - and has been committing crimes against humanity.
We remember the United States invading Iraq - we went in to find so-called " weapons of mass destruction " - that were not found.
We humans have short memories - we forget Syria even as Iraq was attacked, and to this day, Iraq has been adversely impacted. We found and hung Saddam Hussein.
Syrians look for their loved ones - incarcerated in jails - tortured and killed - their bodies left to rot:
Thousands were killed in Syria by Bashar al-Assad, and as many as 80,000 missing Syrians:
https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2024/12/13/researchers-conclude-at-least-80000-missing-syrians-have-been-killed
We then dared to attack Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi - today, Libya is in a mess - once it people lived well.
We went into Afghanistan looking for Osama bin Laden and stayed in Afghanistan for 20 years - left it in a mess - we had no exit plan - the initiative was started by Donald Trump, a president who fell into the trap - Joe Biden.
Joe Biden said he would be a one-term President.
He stayed longer and messed it up.
Again and again, his policies needed to be fixed.
The best thing he did - which was the worst - was pander to Israel - giving them whatever they wanted - killing and maiming Palestinians.
All the while, Benjamin Netanyahu - was whispering in Joe Biden's ear - that Israel was after Hamas.
The ongoing genocide in Gaza - who is responsible? Why are so many Palestinians - infants, children, and youth dying?
Hands off the Middle East.
Stop the genocide in Gaza - now.
To date, over 60,000 Palestinians have died - among them 35,000 infants, children, and youth.
While all the time the economy of the United States is in peril - we now have to deal with an idiot - who loves the word " tariff. "
Tariff means those who purchase the item pay more - that is, we, the citizens - Donald Trump is a JOKE.
The candidates Donald Trump picked for the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is a joke; the one for Secretary of Defense only qualified as an alcoholic - the other one for Director of National Intelligence was pussyfooting with Bashar al-Assad.
We Americans have lost our sense of judgment and common sense, a rare sense lacking at every level.
We do not teach our children, youth, and young adults the true history of our Republic - absolutely nothing about the indigenous tribes and slavery.
The bastards who had slaves made a lot of money - and to this day have not apologized.
Before that, they stole the land and, to this day, have not apologized to indigenous tribes.
Our so-called media has failed us all miserably.
Failing to provide the viewers who see or hear with sound investigative reporting - preferring to embrace sensational news - repeating it repeatedly - doing injustice to the viewers.
Donald Trump is not fit to lead - less be in charge of our Republic.
The Supreme gone bunkers.
July 1, 2024, the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision vacating the decision from the Court of Appeals and holding that presidents had immunity from criminal prosecution for acts conducted under their core constitutional authoriPresidentsident and presumptive immunity for all official acts, but did not have immunity .....The President of the United States would have absolute immunity from civil lawsuits if the suit arose due to the President's action within their constitutional authority.
However, there are limits to what constitutes official acts, and presidents are not absolutely immune from all lawsuits, such as those involving actions they took before taking office or those they took outside of their constitutional authority.
It does not help that the Supreme Court has ruled favorably against the President of the United States, regardless of his actions, whether good or bad, in or out of office.
This ruling muddies the waters. More when we have a narcissist as President of the United States.
