@integration journey You are biased against Assad which is biasing your analysis. Yes, Assad is bad, but the revolution resulted in a million deaths which is not worth ousting him, and most importantly, Assad is still in power, so it didn’t even work. This current situation could cause a restarted civil war, which will just make Syrians suffer even more, with no guarantee he will be deposed or what replaces him is better. Israel officials said initially they wanted Assad gone https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/israeli-officials-say-assad-is-doomed/2011/12/14/gIQAYBuEuO_story.html they along with the US helping rebels indicates they are anti Assad, saying they are pro Assad historically is irrational. If they will help Assad now it will only be because they fear what a Islamist take-over of Syria will bring, which is a fair point, it could be even worse than Assad. I highly doubt they’d help Assad anyway, their heavy sanctions are why he is weak, at most they will probably neither support him nor help the rebels.

That’s a different species. Look into the evolution of the mind and language, it isn’t as simple as biological evolution, it is more mysterious and faster.

Try ifs therapy

I say try to get a fake disability to avoid a possible draft. If it fails when you get drafted then try to leave as you have nothing to lose.

Recently some democratic donors argued this to the media

That doesn’t matter, he did more rallies and events, therefore it was not a campaign failure. I linked you polls showing Vance was more popular in swing states, that is where it matters. The idea he was unlikely unlikable is wrong. Most of those were prior to the election. Biden was a massive scandal as internal polling had him losing 40 states and Harris saw a dip in polls when she said in the view she would do nothing differently. You cannot say Trump had a disaster campaign but he had better media, media is 80% of what a campaign is. Trumps campaign was effective and well run, Kamala’s campaign was weak and incompetent despite major advantages. Given that Trump won every swing state and the popular vote it’s clear all pundits saying his campaign was a disaster were completely wrong.

Just get the cheap one, you will never use it

Or they wanted Assad toppled and supported the rebels but when it didn’t work because Iran and Russia intervened and refugees started spilling out and the rebels got more jihadist they got cold feet and stopped

So why did they support rebels at all? If they wanted him in power just do nothing, or directly support him.

Then why’d they do this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_Sycamore the USA and Israel are anti-Iran, they wouldn’t stand with Assad when he is iran backed.

That’s not true, they got support from the US and israel https://www.reuters.com/article/world/arms-supplied-by-us-saudi-ended-up-with-islamic-state-researchers-say-idUSKBN1E82F1/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-chief-acknowledges-long-claimed-weapons-supply-to-syrian-rebels/

Doesn’t matter, plenty of people defend countries that aren’t there’s. If you don’t want to go ask yourself why those reasons shouldn’t apply to someone who lives there.

You can volunteer and take his place

Not really, according to polling data Harris won but not by an overwhelming amount https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/50498-harris-wins-the-presidential-debate-poll Trump did more media appearances and campaign stops than harris https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/trump-harris-tv-podcast-media-appearances-2024-election-951ba95c https://abcnews.go.com/538/trump-holding-campaign-events-harris/story?id=114567436 No, JD Vance was more popular than Tim Waltz in battleground states https://abcnews.go.com/538/trump-holding-campaign-events-harris/story?id=114567436 Those weren’t as impactful as the scandal democrats had of trying to cover up Biden’s cognitive decline Trumps campaign was not disastrous, aside from the fact he won every swing state and was the first republican to win the popular vote, his campaign made many wise moves such as embracing alternate media. It also showed better spending as it focused its ad buys in the right swing states and didn’t pay for its celebrity endorsements like Harris did.

Based on what?

Ukrainian men are banned from leaving legally

They had triple the budget but still lost every swing state, and now they are firing tons of staffers and many big donors don’t trust them anymore. It can damage them long term.
