Okay here’s the rundown straight from the experts at /ptg/:
>Bolton has long stated that American foreign policy should be in the interests of America only; not some other country. Any body that serves a president will do that president's bidding. We'll just have to wait and see if Turmp (and Bolton by extension) does policies that serve Israel or USA. He’s likely a negotiating tool used to bring North Korea and Putin to the table and he's part of Trump's version of Nixon's Madman Theory.
Bentley Sanchez
It’s more than likely Trump will turn Bolton into a weapon to be used against Israel itself in a type of judo move on foreign policy. What better weapon would Trump have than to turn a deadly weapon like Bolton against the Jews? In either case it’s important to trust Trump.
>He’s likely a negotiating tool used to bring North Korea and Putin to the table Bolton's a fucking retard and /ptg/ probably wasn't even born during Iran-Contra or his stint at the UN. He's a warhawk who has no idea what the fuck he is going to say in diplomacy.
You have just got to Trust and Believe. Don't question. Trust and Believe.
Robert Powell
It is hilarious isn't it? Someone tried to use this image to somehow prove that Shia terrorists are not as bad, did you brainlets forget that Sunnis are 90% of the Muslim population? And the rest are mostly Shia? This in fact, shows that Shias are just as bad as they commit terrorism at the same rate as Sunnis.
You may not agree with Bolton but it’s important to trust him. We’re heading into a very important election cycle and nows not the time to be punching right.

Wahhabis are like 1% of muslims, stop spreading bullshit.
Did Bashar kill his brother? Is this another Diana?
Mason Hernandez
Mossad killed his brother to make room for Bashar. His brother was the aggressive strongman type, whereas Bashar is limp-wristed.
Jason King
It’s more than likely bash at himself is working for Israel. Which is why I never understood why these threads love him so much. If anything you guys should be rooting for Trump to take him out.
Isaac Scott
>Institute for Science & International Security: Syria May Be Harboring Underground Nuclear Facility
>Did Bashar kill his brother? No, Bashar was insignificant at the time with his highest position being head of a computer club and he wasn't the one to initiate becoming a president, the Syrian government told him to become a candidate while he was not initially interested, not the other way around.
Also his other brother Maher is still around >Bashar. His brother was the aggressive strongman type, whereas Bashar is limp-wristed. Bassel who died in a car accident was more of a playboy type with some nationalist tendencies, but not on the level of Uday and was still generally respectable, Maher al-Assad on the other hand is very militaristic (hence why he leads the republican guard) and is more likely to have an aggressive political policy.
Luis Gray
Who allows that to happen? Bashar himself. Israel got Assad to kill arabs for Israel yet you love the guy.
>Who allows that to happen? The US providing the weapons, coordinates, intelligence and political backing to Israel. Without US support Israel wouldn't even still exist and the only country that constantly defends Israel against its own domestic interests is the US.
Dylan Cox
Wrong, Trump is playing the long game with Kushner sabotaging Israel by recognizing Jerusalem and now sabotaging the Iran Nuclear deal something that Bibi hates to see go. Assad is the one protecting Israel from a syrian government forming that actually fights back.
Carter Cooper
Israel's pretty OP desu. Even without US backing. The Yom Kippur war for instance.
Jack Cook
>muh 4D chess Stay delusional, cuck > from a syrian government forming that actually fights back. The only alternative Syrian governments are all pro-Sunni cucks to the (((US, Saudis, and Israel))) >The Yom Kippur war for instance. They had absolute full US backing in 1973, even during the earlier wars they still had massive overnight arms deliveries/sales from US, US intelligence support and complete political support in the UN.
Maher and Bassel are hated by Sunnis. Hafez and Bashar always were able to give the Sunnis some representation.
Aaron Nguyen
>Maher and Bassel are hated by Sunnis. Never read anything about Bassel being hated by Sunnis, also being hated by Sunnis is a good sign, like being hated by the Jews or Kurds > Hafez and Bashar always were able to give the Sunnis some representation. Hafez literally wiped out thousands of S*nnis in 1982 because they started the same type of pro-Muslim brotherhood rebel bullshit as you see now, Sunnis today even still mention Hafez as one of the main reasons they oppose the Syrian government
Does Bashar look like a Dictator or an ophthalmologist? What sort of connections does someone like him have at age 29? Bassel was just being retard with too much fast car.
Kayden Sanchez
No, Bashar had no goals in mind for power and was never designated as a successor. He didn't even want the job, he just wanted to be some doctor and chill out, but Bassel was a drunk playboy idiot and got himself killed.
I always wondered what Bassel ruling Syria would be like. It probably would be even worse than it is now because he had no temper and would've just liquidated everyone. People who hate Bashar in Syria should remember they're probably lucky Bassel died or else they wouldn't exist to hate someone.
Andrew Davis
>Maher and Bassel are hated by Sunnis. >implying that's a bad thing
Leo Rodriguez
Don't forget that in the 60s and 70s the Arab countries had more Soviet support than Israel had Amerian support. The real Jewish takeover of America happened during the 70s.
The Israeli army is not as steadfast as it used to be. The whole settler generation is old or dead. The whole second Sabra generation is not miltaristic enough.
>Does Bashar look like a Dictator or an ophthalmologist? What sort of connections does someone like him have at age 29? My point was he never intended on being a leader >Bassel was just being retard with too much fast car. This was my implication >Don't forget that in the 60s and 70s the Arab countries had more Soviet support than Israel had Amerian support. Except most of it was going to Egypt, which kept fucking up every single time Iraq and Syria actually did quite well in the 67 and 73 wars but were the only ones that went in with the intent of actually destroying the Israeli military >In the 1967 war, the only competent soldiers in all arab armies at the time were the Iraqis and Syrians. In 1973 Syrian soldiers managed to take back key positions in the Golan heights alongside Iraqi soldiers, but they were betrayed by the Egyptians under Sadaat. The original plan was to keep pushing until they got to Jerusalem, however Sadaat stopped once he got to Sinai and then lied to Hafez about advancing. Once the Israeli's figured out the Egyptian plan, they focused their entire airforce on the Syrians and pounded them for 3 days straight forcing them to retreat. The Syrian airforce at that time was in complete shambles due to Pilots not receiving optimal equipment and training from the Soviets, so they were unable to compete with their Israeli counterparts. The Iraqi airforce was somewhat competent, but the few planes they sent were unable to match the Israeli airforce. Egyptian airforce on the other hand was somewhat decent due to their pilots having excellent training from the Nasser days, and for daredevil antics, but they never pursued, they played too safe. The history of the wars against Israel is just betrayal after betrayal. Moroccans also tipped the Israelis off about the 1967 plan, and the Jordanians tipped them off about the 1973 plan.
Elijah Sanchez
There was a coup against Hafez by his brother in 1983 (the one who managed the Hama situation in 1982), because Hafez had health problems and had appointed a six men council to take over most of the presidency which only consisted of Sunnis.
Logan Scott
a failed coup
Jace Howard
>Don't forget that in the 60s and 70s the Arab countries had more Soviet support than Israel had Amerian support. The real Jewish takeover of America happened during the 70s.
No, Jordan and KSA were against soviet. Also by that time American support towards Israeli was funneled through Europe to not anger it's Arab allies at that time. israel had the the highest support from the west at thAt time
Assad will be fine. As long as Russia is in Syria, the US won’t dare directly confront Syria. It’s Iran that everyone should be worried about. If the US will go to war with Iran it will make Vietnam and Iraq look like child’s play in terms of losses and expenditure.
Samuel Walker
How can the natives occupy themselves? Palestinians should be deported back to Arabia.
As much as you guys think our military is so bad we’ve never lost a confrontation in a hundred years. You can argue about political outcomes but there’s no way Iranian sand niggers could put up a military resistance
This is true, even in Vietnam the US won every engagement, Iran would be destroyed. They would be bombed so hard they'd be stuck in development for the next century, like Vietnam.
Jason Collins

Robert Martin
I think by now we are all in agreement that Assad was a terrible and incompetent dictator of Syria, and that his actions kept the country poor and dysfunctional, and his inactions led to ISIS establishing a network in Syria as he preferred that they use Syria to establish a network to funnel arms and fighters into Iraq, and his rash decision to send in the military to stop the protests is what started this war. He should step down and let someone that is capabale take charge. Maybe someone like Suheil.
Elijah Brown
Well you guys can get comfy in your little private chats and discords circlejerking each other, and yet you guys come here just to get triggered at people talking shit on the US for doing stupid shit.
As soon as you guys stop shilling against Trump in our thread.

The protests were packed with jihadists from day one, some of the arly demands of the "moderate" protesters were over the government banning teachers from wearing the hijab.
