    Media interviews? You know that for a decade now there are about 6 million refugees living outside Syria, right? It’s not exactly difficult to meet them and hear what they have to say.

      Yeah, gee, I wonder why people who fled a war would say it’s bad where the war is. Keep in mind that the majority of voters in the US voted for Trump because they thought Biden was the reason for the price of eggs.

        Tell me you don’t interact with political exiles without telling me you don’t interact with political exiles. And I’m not just talking about Syrians here.

          Plenty of them have expressed concern over who has taken over, so you’re not even correct on this point you’re trying to focus on. You’re painting a much more optimistic picture than what the reality warrants. Recent history backs me up, but we’ll see what happens within the next year or so. Until then, we’re just squabbling over what some random Syrians have said.
