Absolutely none. The strongest force is now the HTS AFAIK, but there are a whole bunch of other groups involved in the current offensive, both Islamist and Secular. This could go anywhere from free elections (okay probably not this one) to another dictatorship to civil war 2: electric boogaloo.
Okay setting aside the absolute lack of basis for that statement, are you saying that with a full understanding of how horrible Assad was for the people of Syria?
AFAIK the Greens exclusively run for president because if they get 5% of the popular vote they can get federal funding. Whether that’s a good idea overall I have no idea, but there’s at least logic to their strategy.
Wouldn’t it be better to join a party that already has shitting on the rich as part of its mission? I mean the two big parties don’t have that, but some of the small ones do AFAIK.
Syrian opposition = literally all Syrian factions other than the former government. Syrian Democratic Forces = US-backed Kurdish militant organization concerned with achieving Kurd autonomy. Not involved in the latest offensive AFAIK.
I’m an Arabic speaker and I have no idea; it’s too lacking in context to understand what he’s talking about. He keeps saying “look at this machine”, then starts walking and says “look at these people. We said the airport was friendly and no one believed us”. There are also a few interjections that don’t carry much meaning, but that’s the gist of it.
That only applies when you’re not Asian, so by that logic Russia will lose any war it gets into with its Asian neighbors.
I mean they’re not thinking enough to know or care it’s counterproductive.
I believe wrongdoers deserve justice no matter where it comes from. The law is supposed to be a way to achieve that, but if it ceases to achieve that purpose then to hell with it; I prefer incivil justice over civil injustice.
It’s an injustice, if anything. Thompson should have had his assets seized and returned to his victims, but now that opportunity is gone forever.
Do you believe it’d have ever come? Even if he was prosecuted for anything his victims weren’t gonna get a cent.
It’s not even extreme; that applies to most of their decisions, but not this one, which literally makes no sense. The 100% Islamic thing to do even if you don’t care about women’s lives or autonomy or any of that would be to encourage women to become doctors so they can treat other women and minimize haram mixing between genders. I mean they haven’t exactly been following Islam up to this point but this time it’s particularly egregious because it crosses from “Islam doesn’t tell you/allow you to do that what the fuck are you doing” to “Islam explicitly tells you not to do this what the fuck are you doing”.
Source: Am Muslim, up until now I could at least comprehend most of their decisions (in the sense that I was familiar with the thought process that lead to them because misogyny is everywhere around here; I obviously don’t condone any of it), but now I’m as flabbergasted as everyone else.
I mean you’re straight up buying shares in plantations so yes.
Okay up until now you could kinda sorta see what they’re trying to do if you try to think as an old Middle Eastern guy who thinks Islam allows him to be a bigot, but this is just weird as fuck. Preventing women from becoming midwives means that only men will be able to help women give birth, which Islamically MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING SENSE. I thought I knew what these guys are doing, but now I have no idea.
The works of Verschave and Beti reported a forty-year, post-independence relationship with France’s former colonial peoples, which featured colonial garrisons in situ and monopolies by French multinational corporations, usually for the exploitation of mineral resources. It was argued that the African leaders with close ties to France—especially during the Soviet–American Cold War (1945–1992)—acted more as agents of French business and geopolitical interests than as the national leaders of sovereign states. Cited examples are Omar Bongo (Gabon), Félix Houphouët-Boigny (Ivory Coast), Gnassingbé Eyadéma (Togo), Denis Sassou-Nguesso (Republic of the Congo), Idriss Déby (Chad), and Hamani Diori (Niger).
Okay you have to be a certain kind of petty to go to @Ukraine just to say this.
I mean when choosing between two imperialist powers choosing the weaker one does increase your independence, and between Russia and France France probably has more clout in Central Africa.
I mean fair enough but in that case wouldn’t it be a better idea to look it up on reddit, or bite the bullet and ask there?
There are probably better places to ask this. I mean this community is for all types of question but I think you’d have better luck asking on a more specialized community.
This includes foreign labor so that would explain this. There are countries in the world were you can
lovelive comfortably on a four figure salary (I’m from one of them).
