“After 13 years of civil war, a rebel force seized the Syrian capital over the weekend, toppling more than half a century of the Assad dictatorship, with despot Bashar al-Assad fleeing to safety in Russia. Good riddance. But what next? Will any semblance of freedom come to Syria and be sustained? ‘Syria is a mess,’ President-elect Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, concluding: ‘THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!’ He’s not wrong.” (12/09/24)
