Who wants to hear #Europeans and North #Americans babble endlessly about #Ukraine?
Whether enthusiastic supporters like me or unfortunate #vatnik victims of #Kremlin #gaslighting ("The #West made #Russia attack Ukraine" 
Same #DARVO bullshit as "My child heard a dirty word at school from friends so they made me hit my child")
How about we listen to #Syrians?
They know a little about #Russian aggression
They beat it:
#Assad, propped up by Russia
The member of the German parliament #FriedrichMerz wants all #Syrians #Refugees to leave #Germany #ASAP, but this is a #Democratic country. Want he gonna do? Round them up, and send them away in trains?
Wait a minute…
A blind man, Ahmed, carrying his best friend, Samir, a paralyzed dwarf
Samir served as Ahmed's eyes. Ahmed served as Samir's legs
Ahmed was #Muslim
Samir was #Christian
- #Damascus, #Ottoman #Syria, 1889
#Syrians: you are all in this together
World: we are all in this together
Another relevant parallel:
Samir was paralyzed because of #polio. Take note, new insane #USA government
Sad but bittersweet note:
When Samir died, Ahmed was besides himself in grief, and died a week later
Can Mastodon do me a favor?
Can y'all give #Syria and #Syrians a few days to rejoice after overthrowing a mass murdering sadistically torturing vile #Assad regime that has brutalized them for 54 years and after 13 years of a vicious #SyrianCivilWar?
This is a #Syrian celebration. Let them have it. Join them in it.
Then, *later*, you can all come in with your galaxy brain mindlessly miserable and cynical armchair geopolitical analysis.
Thanks

it doesn't matter what i think
it doesn't matter what you think
it only matters what #syrians think
and they think #assad had to go, period. no other choice is possible. so all other speculation on all other possibilities still to come, from utopia to hell to everything in between, simply has no bearing on the question
Mark your calendars:
December 8, 2024
After 54 years of barbaric abuse and cruelty, the #Assad dynasty is over
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/12/07/middleeast/syria-rebels-homs-damascus-assad-intl
The #SyrianRebels have taken #Damascus
And #Russia has decided to accept #Syrian refugees:
the Assad family (and possibly, nothing certain now, just rumors) #Bashar
Fuck you #Iran, fuck you Russia, for prolonging this monstrous regime
#Syrians I wish you well, this is a new era. It won't be easy
It's interesting how you always some people point to the 'West'
when the main actors of the suffering in the Middle East are actually the #Iranians, the #Syrians, the #Lebanese and the #Egyptians who have fomented discordant hatred and clashes over the last 60 years...
but... it's the 'West'
#Syrians face racism in #Lebanon and persecution from the Syrian regime if they return home @syria @lebanon

Point-blank: #Syrians in Egypt -(I liked this for the mentions of the Sednaouis, Aziz Eid and Sami Shawwa - but will the current Syrian emigrees ever be regarded as Egyptians?)
