honestly, good for Syria. they’re feeling a hope not known to a whole generation, I hope they make something wonderful with it.
It’s sounding like the new government there might actually have their shit together.
I was worried it would either be Assad with a different name, or immediately turn into civil war again. It still can do either, but things are looking up over there!
If they are actually trying to create a unified and moderate government, Israel will likely have every top official killed within a few years. It’s a deliberate long-term strategy of Israel to turn neighboring countries into failed states and to keep them that way. It’s hard to seize Lebensraum from a peaceful democracy next door. But if you turn your neighboring country into a no-man’s land of violent anarchy where the only order is through warlords and militant groups, it’s easy to claim territory for a “buffer zone.” Well, a buffer zone to replace the previous buffer zone that you let your people settle inside.
Everyone is skeptical about this, and in the end they could be right, but we can’t deny that they are really trying.
I really hope that against all odds they somehow succeed.
It’s very early days. I’ve shared some news and analysis from different perspectives at !syria@lemmy.world over the past few weeks for anyone looking to wrap their heads around what’s unfolding.
