If only we had listened to David Cameron and Hilary Benn, those Toyota Hiluxes could have been paid for by British taxpayers, and supported by UK warplanes! O sic transit gloria mundi!
In an attempt to quell concerns about a resumption of sectarian violence in Syria, a member of HTS's inner circle has stated that when adjusted for salience, 75% of mujahideen support a relaxed and inclusive form of Wahabism welcoming to people of all faiths and none.
"Situation in Syria is unclear"
"I am looting the president's underwear drawer"
"Serious people can't write off the SAA yet"
"I was a captain in the SAA"
"This wouldn't happen in 2012! I have a geopolitics podcast!"
"It is 2024. Allahu Akbar!"

@GrayConnolly That Kurdish state would be invaded by Turkey within five minutes of its announcement without rock-solid external security guarantees (which it wouldn't get).
That's it: no road into Syria for militias from Iraq. Israel bombing Hezbollah coming in from Lebanon, Putin not taking calls. Assad is on his own, with an army that doesn't fight.
