None of them where Arab Spring had struggled were "moderate", this is ridiculous. Assad has caused death of over 600k people (by the time they stopped counting in 2019). And ISIS is a natural consequence of these secular (if you can call personality cults even that) dictatorships lasting decades.
- dismalaf 10mo agoOk so you ignored the states I did list and focused on the tongue in cheek comment. Gotcha.
- varjag 10mo agoNone of the places you listed (sans Egypt) were a part of Arab Spring, I wonder why.
- dismalaf 10mo agoThe US supported the Arab Spring not understanding that the public mob is worse than the dictators. No country that's not China and perhaps the most powerful NATO allies can resist US military superiority. Most of the states I listed stayed on the right side of the US and US military equipment and aid keeps them stable.
- varjag 10mo agoOh, so Obama admin was behind this? Same admin that had to be dragged by the French to help Libyans and that ceded Syria to Assad and Russia in 2013? Gotcha.
