“A day after Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Lebanon last week the long dormant war in Syria reignited as jihadist forces seized the city of Aleppo and advanced virtually unhindered in its quest to overthrow the Syrian government until finally meeting resistance from the Syrian Army backed up by Russia. This is the last chance for neocons in the United States to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad before Donald Trump, who tried [sic] to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, resumes the presidency in 49 days.” [editor’s note: Trump didn’t “try” to withdraw troops from Syria. He massively escalated from Obama’s involvement, then SAID he was going to withdraw, then didn’t. In each case, the decision was entirely his – TLK] (12/04/24)
