Biden Offers Support For Syria

That’s great and all, but, what is this going to cost the American people?

Biden cheers Assad toppling, offers support for Syrian people as US hits ISIS strongholds in moment of ‘risk and uncertainty’

President Biden on Sunday praised the overthrow of Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad while noting the terror links of the rebels now in control — and as the US launched strikes against ISIS-tied strongholds there.

Biden underscored the risks of Syria becoming a haven for ISIS after the collapse of the oppressive regime and vowed, “We will not let that happen.”

CENTCOM confirmed that it had conducted dozens of precision US strikes on more than 75 targets in eastern Syria, hitting ISIS camps, leadership and other assets, after Assad’s fall.

“At long last, the Assad regime has fallen. This regime brutalized and tortured and killed literally hundreds of thousands of innocent Syrians,” Biden, 82, said in his address from the White House.

“The fall of the regime is a fundamental act of justice. It’s a moment of historic opportunity for the long-suffering people of Syria to build a better future for their proud country,” the president said.

I mean, yeah, but, we might want to see who replaces Assad. Will it be moderates that can be worked with, or, are they aiming to be an Islamic caliphate? There are quite a few who grew out of the Islamic State and/or Al Qaeda, along with other terrorist groups. Time will tell

Biden outlined several pillars of US policy toward Syria in the meantime, including further collaboration with its neighbors of Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Israel. Biden also vowed to help “reinsure stability in eastern Syria” and “remain vigilant” of the situation.

“We will engage with all Syrian groups, including within the process led by the United Nations, to establish a transition away from the Assad regime toward [a] sovereign and independent … Syria,” Biden vowed.

“This process will be determined by the Syrian people themselves. The United States will do whatever we can to support them, including through humanitarian relief.”

It’s actually good to see Biden take a very cautious tone, as he did mention the terrorist groups involved in the Syria takeover. Hopefully this doesn’t mean boots on the ground and/or lots and lots of money before the end of his term. Because the UN is jumping in

Perhaps the EU might want to see what happens in Syria first, see if they turn into an Islamic caliphate https://t.co/CoPn8Ek360

Slow your roll, UN

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Sunday the EU would help to rebuild a Syria that safeguards minorities after the dramatic fall of Bashar al-Assad.

“Europe is ready to support safeguarding national unity and rebuilding a Syrian state that protects all minorities,” she said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.

What the heck does that even mean? “Protects all minorities”? This is Syria? Who are they? We know the UN doesn’t care about protecting Christians and Jews. It’s not like there are many, if any, Latinos. Any Africans are there fighting with the Islamic extremists. It’s like boiler plate Wokespeak.
