you gotta love how he wholly ignores how he came across the image to know about it in the first place

he acts like it came to him in a vision from god and only then decided to find a reputable news source to see if god was lying or not

Ok buddy.
Next thing you know is if I say it's funny to delete videos about the enola gay, I am defending gays.
And if I wonder why Trump talk about trangenic mice as in transgender , I'm defending the trans.

I didn't say I first found it in a non reputable source, learn to read please.
Anyway I'm done this is getting far too ridiculous. (inb4yousaysinceImdoneImfullofshit)

it's like how if you read internet stuff on commodus they'll mention that he liked to dress up like hercules as evidence that he was deranged, often making analogies like "can you imagine if the us president showed up to a nato meeting dressed up as batman?"this is the most famous bust of him for good reason

All these years and we've only made it from The H-Shaman to the Q-Shaman 😀

you absolutely refuse to share how you first came across the image for good reason - because i'm right


why is Russia protecting civilians from US backed sectarian death squads? I thought they were the bad guys.


dont the Western backed forces deserve agency in their sovereign (adopted) country to murder who they want?

Probably for the same reason Israel (probably) coordinated with Russia to destroy much of the Assad state's weaponry before HTS could get their hands on it, and Israel is controlling large swaths of land in SW Syria (as the US is in Eastern Syria) and de facto protecting the people there.

I dont know if it will amount to anything, but Israel media states the Israeli administration is quietly meeting with Russian officials to discuss cooperation in controlling areas of former Syria. Now the goal isn't purely philanthropic. The more land HTS doesn't control, the weaker they are and the farther away they are from Israel, de facto providing greater Israel security.

Trump is making noises like he wants to pull out of Kurdish areas to the east. But if he doesn't, it could be a very strange alliance of Israel, Russia and the US one one side vs Turkey/HTS on the other partitioning Syria.

Ironically, you are saying HTS is US backed. But unlike the US, it is actually Europe who are establishing formal relations with HTS and have given their verbal support to HTS in the current fighting.


Russian interests in Syria are the oil fields in the NE and several oil and gas pipelines. They are also a key interest for the US and Rojava. USA and Russia can't really be part of a coalition together there.

If Israel is talking to Russia, it's probably just to delineate areas and try to avoid direct military conflict.

the overwhelming main russian interest in the area are the military bases.

the 2 they are left with anyway


Turkey doesn't want them there anymore.

that's the main issue.

the USA have to decide who to back because Israel does agree with Russia about keeping Turkey in check with those bases.

That's what Israel and Russia are talking about, with Israel trying to convince Trump about that

https://www.reuters.com/world/israel-lob...

looks like Trump just doesn't care and will leave the area to whomever takes it.


Also seems Russia and HTS are cooperating particularly in regards to Russia continuing to control the Hmeimim air base mentioned above.

Main question for me (maybe the answer is known but I can't find it) is who are Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran backing right now on the issue


The military bases are means, not ends. The point is the natural resources and infrastructure (pipelines).

Qatar and Turkey under Erdogan (aka the Muslim Brotherhood axis) generally align on most issues. So they are going to back HTS. At one point they were talking about building a natural gas pipeline from Qatar to Turkey through Syria, but Assad/Iran wouldn't allow it. So that may be on the table again.

I am not sure SA/UAE have much influence or interest in Syria. They will probably just want to normalize relations with the winner.

Along with Russia, Iran/Hezbollah have spent the last couple decades fighting HTS and aligned forces, including lot of very brutal attacks on civilians. I doubt that is something they are going to just forget and move on. Also, seems Iran wants to keep Hezbollah propped up as much as possible, meaning they are going to be fighting HTS (and Israel) for control of Western Syria border region; although by all accounts Hezbollah aren't doing so well right now in this department.


Turkey is the most natural backer for HTS.

SA has been supportive as well.

Iran is opposition.

Why is Official Whitehouse posting like a 15 year old girl shitposting about school yard drama?


I guess its also news they are quintupling down on the lie


Not only that, the NIH got tax cuts for doling out money to perform transgender experiments on mice.


Please wake us up from this. Please.

I am not a fan (to put it mildly) to mix up religion and state, that was my point...

Now if you feel religion should be in governement business that's on you.
I think it's bad.

So religious people shouldn't be allowed to hold elected office? Or abstain from practicing?

bro thinks catholicism is exported from america, i doubt he's seen genuine sunlight in years

absolutely not what I said.

It was poorly written as I was getting quite annoyed by your arguing, but I don't like religion interfering with state.
Now it's different from country to country and I just say what I prefer.

I think everyone should be allowed to practice his religion as long as it's in private and/or religious offices (idk churches, sacred places).

What I really don't want is some BGknight dude telling me the only truth is in jesus.(he literally said this in this forum).

This is pretty surreal what's happening in the US.
