A friend and I were discussing the sad events in West Asia (otherwise known as the Middle East) and Ukraine, and he had the best one-paragraph summary of the whole situation:
Events in the Middle East and Ukraine continue to be horrifying and are not likely to improve once the orange man takes up the reins. The irony of the US supporting a head-chopping Sunni Jihadist with a US bounty on his head beggars belief. His group, run by the CIA, MI-6, and Mossard, are busily slaughtering Christians and people in other Islamic cults. Barbarous. Meanwhile, the Palestine genocide continues. So we have one bunch of psychos who are following a ‘kill ’em all and let Allah sort them out policy, and another bunch following a ‘kill ’em all and let Yaweh sort ’em out. And the latter bunch, the Israelis, helped the other bunch oust Assad so they can grab more land for the “greater Israel.” What a friggin’ mess! It’s heartbreaking to think of the children.
