      Pretty sad statement when those days seem better than today.

        That’s because Mommy MIC was being properly fed. Now it’s just ICE, ICE, and more ICE.

        /uj

        That might be hindsight at work. Things in Iraq were pretty dire as the US brought democracy and triggered regime change. Those of us who were against the invasion also thought it was a pretty terrible foreign policy spasm.

              If you commit to explicit tags by having an /uj before, than yes. Otherwise most people would pick it up.

              Nowadays, yes. Reality hasn’t collided this hard with fiction in decades, perhaps centuries.

      He is? Trying to find some info about that, and all I’m finding is that he does some protesting against the Chinese government, and helped with some humanitarian aid for Ukraine. Can’t tell if I’m just missing some details about him or if he’s just not popular with the tankies here.

      this worked for me, timestamp is for the moment they laughed when comparison to Iraq was brought up. Not sure how accurate this translation is, I watched this bit in a different community translated to a different language.

      edit: his imprisonment was brought up around 10:00 but it’s nowhere close to this guy’s tweet

      Lots of people were in Al-Qaeda because it offered safety from being murdered by Al-Quaeda. Their recruitment process was largely stick, and only a little carrot.

        Is it that way culturally or just lack of carrots?

      He was. Later on he fell out with them and actively fought them.

      He started out as a hardcore Islamist and turned into a moderate Islamist.

      Yep, after US invasion of Iraq he went to iraq join al qaeda, he is proud of it and it’s not really something he tries to hide.

      Then after being captured and released (because he faked being a random Iraqi dude) he went home to Syria and took up arms against bashar (old Syrian president)

      Would it have mattered? You’re being invaded on a false pretense and everything around you is getting destroyed, either by the extremists or the invaders that never face any consequences either they kill terrorists or civilians.

      What options do you have?
