It sure seems like Assad’s forces are crumbling, highlighting the weakened state of Russia and Iran. But what comes next? Will Russian forces actually evacuate like the Iranians? How will Turkey handle this? Will there be a viable Syrian state? What will it look like? www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...

There are many dangers ahead in Syria. But of course we should be happy to see its prisons liberated and the end of a regime that fueled the rise of ISIS terrorists, used chemical weapons against children, and sent millions of refugees fleeing across the world.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

The Leopard by Tommasi di Lampedusa is perhaps the best-known of the Sicilian novels. It depicts the changing times around the time of Italian unification in 1860. This seems interesting enough. #netflix #sicily #theleopard

The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is a success for diplomacy. I extend my gratitude to our American and French friends for their crucial role. As former Ambassador to Israel, I deeply hope this step will have an effect on the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza and the release of the hostages.
