I flat out said

 THE MARCH MASSACRES SHOW 

THAT SYRIA URGENTLY NEEDS SOLUTIONS, 

NOT SANCTIONS

many times over

this was the trap he was setting.

And that he was going to get rewarded

for a massacre.

Abu Mohammad al-Julani

"I cant stop this stuff

till you lift the sanctions."

Is pretty much his logic 

to get what he wants.

And its gonna work.

And meanwhile?

He gets to get rid 

of the former opposition.

Kinda how superintelligence works.

Promise.

"The best way to stop Syria from falling further into the abyss of sectarian violence is through more sanctions relief, not less."

(It would kinda give someone some incentive to make that happen don't ya think there:

"The way to achieve this is through sanctions relief, aid provision, and — more proactively — by establishing political and economic partnerships with the new government."

(We should reward him for massacring his people!)

"Syria is a country awash with weapons and full of combat-trained young men with uncertain futures and few opportunities."

(Never good.)

"It was mostly these groups — foreign jihadists and Sunni militias under Turkish protection — that deliberately massacred Alawite civilians.'

(100% incorrect, 

he purposely kept 

the foreign fighters

 he had

just for this.)

"Whilst the country still reeled massacres of early March 2025, Syrians received some respite when al-Sharaa announced an integration and reconciliation deal with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, who have run a state-within-a-state in the country’s east since 2011. Illustrating how external engagement is critical for getting Syria to a better place even at the direst of times, the deal would have been impossible without intensive U.S. mediation."

(Again, 100% bologna.

The Kurds struck their own deal

we didnt have anything to do with it.

The Kurds know how we are.

They saw the handwritting on the wall.

Sec of State Rubio didn't even say 

anything about it till like two days later.)

"Al-Sharaa urgently needs to deliver for the Syrian people. He cares less about how he gets the resources to do so."

(That why he kept the foreign fighters around

to massacre the Alawites, 

so he would have some body to blame it on
