President Trump’s Gigantic Syrian Bet
Donald Trump is remaking the US – Middle East power relationship in a four day swing through the region that includes a reapproachment with Syria after terrorist Abu Mohammad al-Julani became Ahmned al-Sharaa and interim President of Syria after defeating dictator Bashar al-Assad in a lightning quick 12-day military campaign that included seizing the capital, Damascus.
It’s hard to trump seizing your opponent’s capital.
President Trump greeted by MBS — defacto ruler of Saudi Arabia. Mohammed bin Salman. I still think of MBS as the guy running the show when that journalist got chopped up, Mohammed Bone Saw.
