They destroyed Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, for their ulterior motives.

Early days so any judgments are not possible.

""Sharaa was also empowered to form a temporary legislative council for a transitional period and the Syrian constitution was suspended, according to an announcement made by the military command which led the offensive against Assad.""
Syria never had a constitution, assad and his thugs were the legislative, executive, and the judicial.

Don't worry, this Al-Qaeda member has promised diversity and inclusion, according to US media.

Libya AGREE, Afghanistan Too early to tell, Iraq not as bad but agree, Syria so far so good let's keeps the fingers crossed.
Syria is far better off without assad and his butchers.

The Biden regime supported this!

You couldn't make this up. The US now "appoints" the same ideology that brought you 9/11 as leaders in Syria.
Good news for the jihadis but no so for the Shia, Alawites, Christians and any other religious denominations.

Who funds and supports whom in the Middle East ?
I think nothing is clear.
The past involves multiple actions and changing loyalties from many in the west, including USA and UK.
Everyone should stick to their own neighborhood, but we know that will never happen.
Too much oil and other reasons.

As a Syrian, I agree 100%

Lets not forget the Operation Timber Sycamore
The US administration, two years after the start of the civil war in 2011 put in charge the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of operations to arm anti-government forces in Syria.
One consequence of the program has been a flood of US weapons to rebels fighting alongside the Al-Qaeda affiliated Al-Nusra front.

And a reminder that the US is illegally occupying the Northern oil fields and stealing the countries oil.

Nice work Fos...I knew the Yanks would be in there somewhere and guessed oil would be involved...
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
