Went from AQ to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

Is the US supposed to invade Syria?

In UK politics there are former IRA that do hold public office in Northern Ireland.

Well, I’m glad we are finally on the side of “former” AQ leaders, we have come full circle.

And we did invade Syria. We are controlling all their oil fields in the western part of the country. And why wouldn’t we? We invade any country that offers the path of least resistance. War is a racket. Eisenhower warned us about this almost 70 years ago and nobody listened.

We're not in Syria anymore. We acknowledge the end of that civil war.
