    Directions unclear

    Is it because the CIA was involved that you automatically assume it was bad or that Al-Qaeda is the same organization it was 25 years ago?

      25 years ago? The guy was wanted as a terrorist with a $10m bounty in 2017, the fuck you mean “25 years ago”. The bounty was rescinded because he overthrew a government seen as hostile by Israel and the US.

      Are you just ignoring the article I linked describing mass killings of Alawite? Are you trying to defend those guys?

        The fuck I mean 25 years ago?

        Gee, I dunno what happened about 25 years ago that could be historically relevant to this conversation /s

        Yes, I am ignoring your articles

        Of course I don’t condone the mass killing of alawites. I am also not Syrian and do not know why Assad loyalist groups killed 26 civilians and 121 police members of the Syrian General Security Service or why Syrian security forces and pro-government fighters in response perpetrated the killing of more than 700 Alawite civilians across parts of the Latakia countryside

        I try not to question the absurdity of civil war, the answers are never satisfying
