Bashar Assad sticks up for Donald Trump, says EO targets bad people, not good people

First off, no one every says the EO doesn't let anyone in. Those who are legit are detained, questioned, checked, and get a waiver. No one was to be deported. Those who are legit should have nothing to hide. Syria is a mess. DHS has no one on the ground to vet refugees and the Syrian government has no ability to vet refugees.

America is at war with jihadists who have infested Syria. America is allies with Bashar Assad.

Thats funny , i thought America was arming MODERATE terrorists to fight against him . From wiki .

Syria–United States relations are officially non-existent. Relations were severed in 2012 due to the Syrian Civil War.

a reply to: hutch622

The U.S. has been directly or indirectly responsible for arming terrorists in Syria, that's why it was crucial for Trump to beat Hillary and side with Russia and Assad to stop the insanity. Pundits and detractors will relentlessly try to spin it as a bad thing, and portray Russia as if they were the scum of the Earth, but when all is said and done they will fail.

Assad is a bad guy, but probably one of the softest "bad guys" there are. We've already seen what happens over and over when there isn't a heavy handed presence ruling M.E. countries.

Assad at least allows freedom of religion there, which actually is a big thing in the M.E. They aren't all Muslim, and in most countries there, you have to be, or face persecution.

Russia is only there because of their airbase and port. I've said this several times before, the US cannot invade countries that Russia has military assets in, all 9 or 10 of them.

Hussein gone , place is a disaster . Gaddafi gone , pretty much the same , and what have we learnt , absolutely nothing .

Assad sees Trump as a way to keep his own head from being served to the opposition leaders on a pike.

Personally I kind of agreed with his sentiment on EO...

a reply to: ultron

You know things are going well when you're backed by Putin and Assad , two paragons of virtue.

Question is where is the redrafted EO that was promised for Monday or Tuesday this week , perhaps they're taking a bit more care with this one.

And endorsement from Asad is somehow seen by some as a good thing? I'd seriously love to know how much people on here actual understand the events in Syria over the last decade - is this another 'What's Aleppo?' moment for some people?

Oh I'm not confused..


Trump made a deal with Russia for counter intel on hillary in exchange for Ukraine and lifted sanctions..

I'm also pretty sure russia saved evidence of the deal, so if trump acts up they can release it and send America into chaos..

The paper, logic and benefit trail is way too easy to follow...

Is it a conspiracy when it is literally the most logical and obvious conclusion??

a reply to: uncommitted

Nope... I do not cheer an endorsement, I just said in regards to his statement I kind of agree with it.

Oh no its worse then that sir. (done in a Wesley Clark voice) ...Its a complete mess on all counts much like Libya is.

a reply to: hutch622

That was the goal. Iraq and Libya were the biggest arms importers of Russia.

America funded the terrorists now operating in Syria.. Read the Pentagon leaks..

No need for an EO. Just have state department suspend issue of visas from those 7 countries.
