I second the request for confirmation. It does sound like fiction to me too.

- Scoundreller 5y agoI’d have believed it if it were indoors, but out in the open seems excessively risky. At least that’s how it works in other “dry” countries. Though I dunno the living conditions of wealthy saudis outside of aramco compounds (or do the wealthy live there too?)
- jessaustin 5y agoAny M5M piece about Syria is automatically suspect. Recall how sure they were about Douma chlorine attacks, etc. Perhaps even worse than reporting fake crap are the true, relevant facts they leave out. TFA doesn't even mention the nation (USA) that currently occupies the resource-rich eastern third of the nation. Even the linked "War is Bad" article displays a map that pretends it's actually "Kurds" who are currently in control of all the oil and grain that Syria produces. These clowns weren't mad at Trump for the occupation, since Biden has continued it. They were just mad that Trump talked about the occupation.
