Why is that a surprise? His industry isn't all that popular, his company is less so and he was just some suit that wouldn't care that much about regular people. Wouldn't change things, unless you kill a lot. But will go to show suits they bleed like everyone else. He should have wasted some finance bros.

Guess the metaphor wasn't all that clear to you.

Heh, reminds of the CIA black bagging a Canadian and sending him to Syria where he got tortured. Not really sure why we're beating the "Assad is bad" horse here, but knock on.

For shady crap like that, SEALs are your boys.

As I wrote, some things are so obvious they don't need to be said.

Ah well, such is propaganda.

You mean Assad. Unless you think Russia has been running the country for the past decades. Also a poor comparison as ex ISIS is better than Lebanon or Turkey.

I never noticed you doing that either. Some things are obvious enough to not be said, I guess. Zoraptor waa pretty active in the last Syria thread and wasn't praising Assad or something Maybe Jolani will walk the walk, can see the West wanting things to work out, as they can send those scary brown people back. I guess if he does turn loco, just has to bribe Europe with oil and they'll shrug at it, heh Euros concern for Africans and ME people of late has interesting motivation as well.

Playing Venetica as I got it for free a while back. It's ok, I guess. Sort of a pain to play with, the quest system is wonky and the combat is just plaing boring. But the story isn't too bad and the game world is interesting. Is funny that they never mention how to upgrade your special weapon, unless you just wander around and check everywhere in the city, which is confusing as hell to navigate. Suitably jank as well, the first boss I fought has a mechanic that didn't trigger preventing me from killing her.

Ah, Assad in Moscow - https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/syrias-assad-his-family-are-moscow-after-russia-granted-them-asylum-say-russian-2024-12-08/

Trump is discreet as ever

Turkey will helpfully give theirs the boot. They'll need a lot of money, maybe the West can bribe HTS with that. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/suspected-israeli-strikes-hit-part-damascus-two-security-sources-say-2024-12-08/ Israel doesn't want certain things falling into wrong hands, I guess. They also seized more land as well, apparently

All over with now, SAA surrendered. Kurds must be antsy. As for Assad, wonder where he'll end up, already have some OSINT people saying his plane was shot down

Well, not like anyone will care, really. Isn't a relatively civilized place, to reference D'Agata

Zelensky still allergic to suits

Strange for Russia to be so dominant over Syrians with the small force they have. Race for Damascus is on. Wonder if Assad is still in the country

Well SAA seem all but useless, Iran may not see the point in putting good money after bad. HTS leader went on CNN, said the right things. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/06/middleeast/syria-rebel-forces-hayat-tahrir-al-sham-al-jolani-intl-latam/index.html Wonder when Israel will annex, sorry Blue Team doesn't do that, I mean increase their security zone

Forgot the joy of radio call in shows. Dude called in and went on a rant about how tyrannical the Canadian government is and how we'd be better off under fascism. Then said we're under "corporate Communism". Shame the host didn't ask him WTF he was talking about.

Hama fallen to HTS, that was fast.

If they don't understand it, why is it an issue, that's the thing. Really, they should sell anti Woke DLC that removes whatever Woke is this week. Might as well monetize the fragility

Well have to feel Ukraine will be in a better place after the West rebuilds it and rearms it. Not like Russia is going to be in a place to do much, despite the fear mongering

47 strikes in NYC.
