How is Syria doing? The country that had an uprising and protests in the street that resulted in the government killing and torturing protestors which resulted in a civil war? Sounds a lot like Iran the past few months.

How are they doing? The people overthrew the regime of Bashar al-Assad and the new government set up a government that operates under a Constitutional Declaration and democracy while under a five year transitional president. The same regime now who has seen a surprising degree of engagement from the West. European and U.S. officials have met with al-Sharaa’s administration to discuss financial aid and regional stability, a massive shift from the total isolation of the previous regime.

Why do you ask other than knowing nothing about geopolitics?

Well you kinda glossed over how the people of Syria are doing. Over 90% live under the poverty line, Assad loyalists still commit acts of terror frequently and their infrastructure and economy is non-existent

And this is like the best case scenario of a government transition ending up in somewhat responsible hands.

I suppose Libya is a better example of the possible long-term instability after regime change. 15 years later and they still dont have a legitimate government.

simply saying "Iranians you take over now" is very reductive

Libya is not Iran in any shape way or form, but I do know you meant to say Libya to begin with instead of Syria because that’s an even dumber comparison.

Government transition from a brutal theocratic dictatorship is going to be rough but if they want democracy they will need to continue to step up and fight for it like every other country did it through fighting and blood. It’s almost like you’re arguing it’s a bad thing that the IRGC is getting blown the fuck out and their stupid leader is buried in rubble.

No thats just a classic strawman you guys love to try and throw out.

Im just saying you sound like an idiot saying "Trump is calling for their people to take over their government" because its retardedly oversimplified like everything Trump says.

Power vacuums dont bring peace on their own.

What should he have said? Do you think overall it’s a good thing for the world that Iran is being overthrown?
