    Lmao at a: imperialist Rojava, b: the grayzone. Just admit you'd lick the boots of a fascist if they say they hate the US.

      Oh no, there are actual Americans doing journalism. This is not the own you think it is.

      Just admit you’d lick the boots of a fascist if they say they hate the US.

      There are fascists that hate the US, and no, I don't support them. Assad is not a fascist.

      Equating the Grayzone with fascists won't bode well for you here. Most people respect their journalistic work. I'm guessing you'll need another account to spread State Department propaganda. Only made it two posts this time lmao

        Grayzone are hacks not fascists lmao. But Assad, while maybe not entirely a Fascist is certainly adjacent considering he is an capitalist authoritarian ruler whose main implement for staying in power is naked force. Lets not forget that the whole war started because his goons tortured a literal child to deaht. Or is that, a fact most westerners almost certainly don't know, CIA propaganda as well. Did CIA agents force those Air Force officers to burn him with cigarettes, brake his bones, mutilate his genitals off?

          You mean the story that was on every news outlet for months in 2011? This is like saying, "most westerners don't know Saddam's treatment of Kurds" - it was the story that drove US public support for the occupation.

          Grayzone are hacks not fascists lmao

          When you cannot actually dispute their findings. Grayzone has embarrassed the State Department "Anarchism" for the past decade - from Syria, to Ukraine, to Hong Kong - by actually doing journalism.

          Their findings on the OPCW proves that the organization did its job. Like in Iraq, they manufactured a fake weapons story to justify US war crimes in Middle Eastern nations with nationally-owned oil production.

          Edit: Just realized your name is NED. Incredibly bit my dude. Top tier.

            Thinking that my username is the acronym for some rando coup think tank and not you know... a relatively common name is top tier brain worms.
