FLAMING_AUBURN_LOCKS [she/her]

For anyone unfamiliar with the leader of the Tiger Forces, Suheil al-Hasan is the most respected and successful general to survive the civil war (RIP Issam Zahreddin). He has a perfectly groomed beard that almost looks painted on because its so dark, and he surrounds himself with a Praetorian Guard of cute twinks who he is frequently pictured getting rather handsy with. A friend of mine once said that Suheil looks like the kind of guy who would be cast as the main character in a movie about his own life

Important context— Taganrog sits on the shore of the Sea of Azov, between Russian Azov and Ukraining Mariupol. this strike is closer to the (pre-war) Ukrainian border than the first one

remember folks, don’t wear your “I have a pipe bomb in my briefcase” tshirt to the airport, the TSA might think you’re too epic

the average Syrian doesn’t look at this situation through the eyes of a (presumably Western) poster on a bear geometry forum, they look at this through the eyes of the average Syrian. they’ve got desires and ideologies of their own, beyond ‘increasing Iranian power projection in West Asia’

Come on now, the Polish People’s Republic wasn’t as heavy-handed and violent towards critics as the Ba’athists were— what comes next isn’t exactly good, given that jihadis uninterested in Palestine have conquered Damascus, but a lot of Syrians are feeling good today. there is a moment of catharsis here that has been bought with a decade and a half’s worth of blood. people are gonna feel some typa way about it.

people on here get tunnel vision on Syria due to it being part of the Axis of Resistance, and in many cases due to not knowing the history of the conflict/country

there are reasons that so many people were willing to rise up against the Ba’athists over the past decade and a half, guys, and those reasons aren’t all foreign interference.

oh my god, the RAF Spirit Halloween is being abandoned? it’s so joever

there’s not gonna be any fighting for the Presidential Palace; Jolani will make a stern face, cross his arms, and then hold his hands out. Assad will give him the keys while staring at his own shoes

The humbled ophthalmologist shakily put his glasses back on his prematurely wrinkled face, shocked at the words he thinks he heard being hurled at him. Adjusting the volume on his hearing aid, he asked the strange men around him with trepidation, “Apologies gentlemen, I must have misheard…who must go…?”

and do the othah things nawt becawse they ah’reasy, bawt becawse they ah hahd

C.E.S. – Chinese Exclusion Sham

Joe Biden calls for adapting Neoliberalism to the context of modern America (he is getting more racist)

i worry that behind closed doors, leadership of NATO and the Russian Federation have each already concluded that the other has committed to war, and so they have to do the same.

weird that you’re questioning their motivations/dedication. what does that accomplish and what point are you trying to make?

Remember; when the U.N. was established, world war 2 had just ended. The US was the only industrial economy not totally ravaged by bombing and firefights. It was also the only country at the time with nuclear weapons.

That is the context that the liberal world order was born out of-- everyone in the mosh pit had beaten the shit out of each other, but then the US stands up, shrugs it all off, and pulls out an uzi.

the packaging on my grey-market estrogen is all in turkish— iirc many brands of estradiol are manufactured in Turkey. i wonder how this will affect the DIY hormone market globally
