@Gracie9908 @DoctorWhoWorld_ Rose and the Ninth Doctor?

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@anonycitizen38 Agreed, though I am worried about the second order effects of cutting subsidies so sharply and increasing imports so much, especially on Syrian industry and supply chains. Plus it’ll be really hard for the extremely impoverished supermajority of Syrians.

@NexusPhillio @nikicaga Don’t slander my GOAT like this, if anything the Greyjoys are the South. Slavers who simultaneously act proud and cry about losing a war they started.

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@nikicaga Also “America radically declines” when it doesn’t reach its peak until World War II when it became a truly global power, had a flourishing industrial economy and 24 years after the war put men on the moon. There was nothing impressive about 19th C America, let alone the South

@chris_armin Literally what I’m doing rn trying to find United signings, hopefully a fullback

@Hidden_Collect A thousand years ago it was all one monarchy, the North Sea Empire. England, Denmark and Norway.

@3nnadi I really need to get someone to watch GOT just so I can watch them react to the Red Wedding

@truss_83 @dimipan03_02 @cr0wgirlirl Yes, the Faith is inconsequential in the war but it will be consequential after the war (again if shadow assassin didn’t happen) in justifying Renly’s right to rule and giving him legitimacy.

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@truss_83 @cr0wgirlirl Renly can still argue Stannis isn’t fit for the throne as he’s a heretic before he gains the blessing of the Faith. Once Stannis is dealt with he can take King’s Landing, execute Joffrey and use the High Septon to retroactively legitimise his claim.

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@truss_83 @dimipan03_02 @cr0wgirlirl In a hypothetical situation where the shadow baby doesn’t assassinate Renly, that would change as soon as he takes King’s Landing (with his massive army) and from that point he can use the Faith to call Cersei’s children incest bastards and Stannis a heretic.

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@truss_83 @cr0wgirlirl Yes, the Tyrells were wiser and knew they couldn’t seize the throne without a claimant. By de-legitimising Stannis I mean de-legitimising him in the eyes of the smallfolk, and yes their support matters for the monarch’s rule (e.g riots against Rhaenyra)

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@truss_83 @cr0wgirlirl It’s a silly argument when most of his power comes from the Tyrells, whats to stop them from just seizing power from him? It’s also missing the open goal of using the best softpower asset in Westeros - the Hightowers to delegitimise his brother making him the “rightful” king.

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@punishedherodor @cr0wgirlirl If that was true the Tyrells could’ve just claimed the Iron Throne for themselves, they had the largest army in Westeros by far. You still need some sort of claim, no matter how bullshit it is. Ruling out Stannis using religious justification strengthened that claim

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@TatenokaiGael @The_Davos_Man Yeah I don’t agree with Kraut that parties and night clubs are a good metric and yes the situation is fragile. It takes time to build institutions that outlast the current leadership and there are serious problems, but so far its 100x an improvement on what it was under Assad.

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@Ze_Chart I listen to Fairouz and other people in the replies listen to Fairouz. Its just you and that one girl who’s been talking crap about her for days.

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@Jbdrugi That’s from the old passport actually. To my knowledge they haven’t released the new passports yet

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@foidb0y @nikicaga As a Man Utd fan I understand that saying better than most which is why I know Winds won’t be announced

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@TatenokaiGael @The_Davos_Man Parties and nightclubs aren’t the markers of a healthy society. Under Assad Syria was closed off from the world, destroyed neighbourhoods were left as rubble to prevent people from living there, militias and foreign occupations ran amok and the state became a massive drug cartel.

[Abdul Aziz 🇪🇸 @MufcZizo]

@SyrianLib Yeah, the reasons it failed were numerous but imo the primary ones were economic grievances, authoritarian behaviour and lack of popular support even within its military. This popular discontent allowed the Syrian Gov to swoop in while the SDF faced mass defections
