It takes too much energy to explain how right I, and others, were about Syria while everyone called us Assadist party poopers. So, instead, I’ll just say this [super casually, forgive me]: pay attention to the Druze, Israel’s trade-offs with them, and watch how Turkey plans to deal with the mess they’ve gotten themselves into as they’ve bitten off just a little more than they can chew, and now they’ve got to figure out how they’re gonna bankroll this shit long term. Western media’s gonna keep pushing the ‘remnants of the regime’ narrative, but 9/10 times, they’re talking about minorities and communities who don’t wanna get raped and murdered by HTS. They’re gonna amp up the focus on Christians being killed because if the Middle East can be framed as an irredeemable hotbed of extremism where Christians are specifically unsafe, it justifies continued military presence under the guise of counterterrorism. This is an idea that’s easy for American audiences to accept too. Look at Lebanon. They’ll take the Alawis, who’ve been getting shit on and picked off for the last three months, and vilify their revolt against HTS, calling them ‘remnants of the regime’ and paint them like inbred babies who can’t get along or are ‘resisting authority’ by the second coming of Christ, HTS.
