Massive LOL at the guy asking for a more confrontational interviewer
GO WATCH ASSAD DO HIS THING ON YOUTUBE
EVERY interview is the process of his interviewers realizing that he's not the fucked up baby killer they thought he was and he's actually a G. They have stars in their eyes by the end as they read their pre-written questions in shame
Robert Parker
Iraqis slowly pushing forward, but the Iraqi Army is going to be non-existent afterwards due to casualties and the loss of most of their American trained troops
Jose Watson
That pic is great!
Jack Stewart
just the fact that the interviewer is not syrian makes it a more honest interview imo. the one with the 2 french guys (i think) from some time ago was also better than this last one
Blake Anderson
Whats happening in that pic OP?
Mason Smith
is it a certain defeat for isis? no chance they can hold on?
Jonathan Wood
EVERY interview he deals with people practically seething at the mouth. EVERY time he puts them in check with basic logic
Zachary Collins
you figure it out
Jordan Price
ALMA WATCH - The first lady still has not responded to my fbook message. Unsure how to proceed
Oliver Edwards
No way ISIS can win, they've lost the majority of the city and the entire city is surrounded
I was off for a week give me a quick rundown on the two "chemical" attacks, and why is it not causing a major shitstorm
So, Assad supposedly sarin'ed civilians? Where are proofs? AFAIK he denies even there being a bombing in the first place
And the new attack, was it the US vs ISIS? Wasn't the US claiming for the last attack that the rebels (akak ISIS buddies) don't have access to chem weapons?
Why the fuck isn't all this causing a major shitstorm?
btw, based Bolivia standing up to "American imperialism" on the UN
VERY few times the journalist follow up on his answers, asking for clarification or for him to refute whatever other arguments there are against his claims
in this last interview i caught them laughing among themselves several times. he should get some angry but polite uk journalist if he wanted to convince people
Jayden Anderson
Got it, fuel-air, so it makes sense to drop it on a tunnel.
Hunter Morgan
Bomb has a 1 mile blast radius, so pretty big
Kayden Moore
>air blast >tunnel
Bentley Lopez
yep your freedom is so shit that the Taliban are taking back Afghanistan city by city ! how will they ever recover ! face it your ground forces are shit !
Isaac Gray
You dumb fuck you are no in NSA list.
Nice Fucking Job.

Also if US Government put Syria as enemy state you gonna be automatic Jailed for Spying or Treason.
Jose Diaz

Thomas Clark
HORY SHIT
The MOAB could destroy a fucking town
Tyler Jones
Expect a barrel bomb to crash through your family bakery for attempting to talk to Syria's first lady.
Grayson Miller
fuck off with irrelevant threads
Ayden Perry
It's a big bomb.
Tyler Moore
Seems leggit and I definetly want footage of this
John Butler
way did you do it way use kike book ?
Jaxson Sanders
checked
Eli Wilson
So what's the purpose of dropping it instead of a regular bunker buster that would've done the same damage to the tunnel and cost way less? Dick measuring contest?
>Also if US Government put Syria as enemy state you gonna be automatic Jailed for Spying or Treason. Tbqh any of us burgers on /sg/ might end up on an NSA watchlist in that case. Kek.
Jason Collins
>isis tunnel Probably taliban after Putin wanted to sit around the table with them.
If they try and snatch me up ill demand to see their hard drives filled with child porn
Then I'll demand to see proof of WMDs
Then I'll..... you get the picture
WATCH THIS SPACE I'm making a war winning meme. will be done soon
Juan Richardson

Ian Nelson
Wew, that's... massive.
Nathan Carter
That's what they all say.
David Evans
Fox just reported it too.
Damn, looks like 'little boy'.
Isaiah Cruz
I'm just an outsider from Sup Forums and I'm not aware of or following any of the small details of the war but I've always leaned towards assad in preference. Disappointed with trump obviously.
But the thing is any middle easterner I've talked to doesn't have much good to say about assad. I mean I've talked to leftist "westernizer" types who hate him of course, but even people who are pan-arabist, or christian, or whatever else seem to dislike him and don't even see the "he's the best option" argument as legitimate.
It's very easy for me here in my chair far removed from things to get fired up about how assad is the rightful president and the west has no place forcing any ideology on another country etc, but at the same time I just can't believe that every single horror story about assad is fabricated. So many people hate him and if that wasn't the case his country wouldn't be in total chaos.
I have confirmation bias already and know the answer I want since I'm asking in this thread of all places, but still, how can you justify supporting him when there's obviously SOMETHING quite immoral he's doing (if barrel bombs and chemical attacks are exaggerations, I still have no doubt he's not afraid to get rid of certain people even if they're a so far innocent civilian), when the opinion of middle easterners on him is negative, and when the capacity for human cruelty in a general sense in large and he as a human is not exempt from it? Is he sincere and with true ideology behind his rule or is he just blind directionless authoritarianism, is he just a dictator or is he a well meaning dictator?
Carson Stewart

Hudson Mitchell
Trips make it even truer!
Aaron Campbell
Also can you imagine the butthurt and outcry if they actually drop a FOAB in Syria now too? kek this is going to be epic.
Thomas Wood
Testing new weapons my friend
Hudson Reed
Our Syrianbros say mostly it's either him, or goat-loving, head-chopping backward jihadis, and I believe them. For me he's the best choice because that's the only way for Christians to survive in the Levant.
Austin Long
Thought you all had freedom of speech? As long as you dont what, threaten to do anything
Colton Hall

Sometime feels good to live in a shithole like Brazil, we can say anything online and government dont give a fuck, only thing they care are stealing more from us.
Jack James
>any middle easterner Syrian or just "middle east"? Sunni or Shia? Arabs aren't really a monolithic bloc like a lot of people seem to think
>ISIS tunnel >inb4 vacated like most ISIS targets somehow end up when the U.S. bombs them and they just bombed sand again.
Kayden Mitchell
So it was: >genuine SDF mistake >genuine SDF effort to get ridden of unwanted friends >CJTFOR cutting lose CIA ends cause al-Zinki was US friends earlier >CJTFOR mistake
>I'm just ignorant of [topic], I don't have full grasp of it >BUT there are certain beliefs about the topic I strongly hold on to as self-evident truths >Are you sure your beliefs are as self-evident as mine? One can never be sure can they, as no one can ever have all the facts at hand about [topic]
Now we count how many goyim unironically fall for it
Hudson Ward
that's a picture of the AN 602/tsar bomb though. Footage seems to be correct however.
Kevin Long
>kurdish (((intellectuals))) in charge of giving coordinates for US airstrikes expected results tbqh
Jeremiah Perry
See Would highly suggest attempting to discern parts of Sunni/Shia conflicts instead of just lumping the Middle East together. Also please understand why people hate goatfuckers. Would much rather have Assad around instead of another complete and total US puppet, or dirty jihadis. MUH FUCKING MORALS stops applying after a certain point.
Lincoln Lewis
I still believe even if most here thing it was orchestrated from the beginning that the demonstrations were lead by good people who want a more actual democratic country and not surpress the believes of others and ruin their way of life to impose their own as it has become now. Saying the revolution was hijacked is also wrong since the students or whoever really started this grabbed weapons themselves and then were willing to take the help of extremist who are terrorist and don't hold the same beliefs as the early rebellion did. Many foreign fighters have come to join ISIS but also FSA groups which is why it makes sense now when Assad says that FSA can't negotiate in the best interest of the Syrian people since most of them are foreign fighters who often even brought their families. FSA is ISIS lite and they do not tolerate minorities at all even amongst themseles. Assad is the best guy to stay in place and have the country rally around him at this point with out a doubt if alleged war crimes or not that often are stupid arguments the west likes to put out so they can justify their invasion if they ever really want one anyhow.
Jeremiah Bailey
He is, this is a move to boost his popularity.
Hudson Young
They should drop a couple of these on Idlib tbqh
Noah Rodriguez
>XD we bombed ISIS in afghanistan >this means we're no longer destabilizing Syria and playing into alqaeda's hand burger logic
Joshua Campbell
A lot of thinking in Syria is based on the idea that democracy is supposed to mean a coup every three years, and the Assad family reign hasn't been deposed as expected, so it's caused a lot of confusion.
He's an awkward nerd trying to fill the shoes of a big bad tyrant (in reality, a manipulative and very astute politician) and he's under the gun worse than his dad because people can sense his liberal weakness.
He wasn't meant to run the shop. He was destined for opthalmology until his brother crashed a car. Now he's tasked with maintaining a country that is in the iron sights of every major player in the region. It's a shit show.
His first major policy blunder was the damascus spring, prototypical left wing faff, and it backfired on him spectacularly. Now he's learnt to be a bit ruthless with bucktoothed sunnis and doesn't have much love from them. He doesn't have his dad's cult of personality and he's holding down the fort weakly, so that's the background on why you'll hear more from enemies than friends: essentially, he's a weak emperor.
Caleb Moore
yeah, but commies come in all shapes and colors, tbqh
Sebastian Bell
>XD we bombed ISIS in afghanistan i bet its the taliban that they bombed after major gains there its more a desperate action than a military one burger logic also go back to discord r the donald
Brayden Gray
Can´t imagine that a bomb that detonates in the air is very effective against tunnels. Burger taxes well spent?
Adam Kelly
Many many muslims are salafists. You see a guy on TV, he looks like a nice normal muslim guy, ask him to condemn Hamas, ask him to condemn al Nusra and he crumbles.
When leftists say "Not all muslims are terrorists" they're correct, but a very significant percentage condone what islamists do. Turks are about to vote on making their Presidential position more authoritarian - thus gravitating towards a more Islamist structure in the country - and Turkey are supposed to be one of the good ones.
Many middle easterners you talk to are salafists who would see everything burn just for the spread of Islam. You'd have to be extremely misinformed to assume rebels are good guys, which their arab supporters aren't, they're just evil.
David Miller
Agree mostly, but he is very, very intelligent. Extremely unorthodox leader, which is why they've had such a hard time deposing him.
I wonder on MBTI what type he is. Possibly INFP/INTP
