Apparently the CIA is now extra sure that MBS ordered the assassination and Turkey has passed images of the dismemberment to al Sura

It's not that Donny Trump is able to wriggle It's that there's a giant hallway of international fascist legacy that anybody could simply walk through if they wanted, but people have been taught not to see it, and so they perceive Donny doing blind windmills through it as a sign of political genius. In other words, MBS is goig to get off not because the Trump presidency is uniquely bad, but precisely because it's within the limits of what you would expect of a US presidency.

I mean yeah, Saudis were responsible for 9/11 and no one punished them for it, I don't expect Mohammed Bone Saw to get punished for this either.

They didn't order it, and the redacted pages weren't the smoking gun everyone was looking for. They got off super light for their inadvertent contributions, but hey if anyone knows about unintended consequences it's the US. Seems like Trump's not buying the deep state fabrications against his friend MBS: https://twitter.com/jdawsey1/status/1063571380627742725

I don't know about the consulate as I don't understand Arabic. But just look at the language of the tweet. quote:in a stunning and de-facto recognition by the Assad Regime that it will never retake the Eastern Region back from SDF A de-facto recognition that Assad will never retake the territory. It may or may not be a sort of recognition; not doing it formally leaves plenty of room for interpretation. The idea that this means Assad will never turn on the region is absurd-- he could change his mind 6 months from now and launch an invasion. A consulate does not prevent an invasion.

IMO all it signifies is that Assad is willing to negotiate about the future of the region. And it might as well signal weakness among the Kurds, who are now threatened by Turkey more than ever, and consequently may be willing to make greater concessions to Assad than they had been previously - starting with hosting Syrian officials

Reports and photos are going around now showing that Raed Fares, the radio broadcaster, the civil society activist, and the man behind the Kafranbel demonstrations since the beginning, has been assassinated. I've seen him in a lot of photos recently in Idlib. He's regularly attacked the jihadist militias in the province and used Radio Free Syria as a tool for civil disobedience against them, while also being one of the most incorruptible voices against the regime. There's been a lot of assassination attempts against him over the years, but he still was always front and center at the demonstrations. He almost seemed invincible at times. He came to the US a few years ago and gave a speech at the Atlantic Council that's well worth the watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBr1v9kVSFs What a terrible day. https://twitter.com/FADELABDULGHANY/status/1065938954560684033 Volkerball fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Nov 23, 2018 |

That seems unusual, if state media is confirming it as a gas attack does that imply it wasn't government forces using the gas? Or is that typical?

The Syrian government should have no problem recovering the munition remnants, as generally chlorine munitions don't explode into lots of fragment, and stay pretty much intact after impact. They should also have no problem handing them over to the OPCW, assuming everything they say about the rebels being responsible is genuine.
