Syrian rebel forces seize Damascus as Assad regime topples

[@lassejensen2186]

about 6-8 years ago, I worked with a Syrian refugee as a coworker. We often went out on jobs together, and he was genuinely happy to be living in Denmark. He was hardworking, interested in Danish culture, intelligent, and usually had a big smile on his face. He could smile almost from ear to ear at the smallest things, but in an instant, that smile could turn into tears. He usually spoke English with me, but when those scaring memories of Syria came flooding back -those moments that brought him to tears- he would sometimes speak to me in Arabic, not realizing I couldn’t understand. The things he had experienced there weighed heavily on him, and seeing that pain affected me deeply. I don’t see myself as a soft person, but in those moments, I almost wanted to cry with him. I didn't know what to do, or how to act, but at least i tried to comfort him as best as i could. I don’t know where he is today, but I hope that wherever he is, he can smile a bit more. I also hope that, if it is his wish, he can return home safely one day.

Did you ever consider that maybe he chose to speak arabic at those times so he could tell you without you understanding and carrying those memories too? It's just a thought, because they're are times I would if I could speak a second language.

[@ZolaClyde]

@@riverlady982It could also be that he didn’t have the vocabulary in English that he did in his home language, I have that problem when speaking with my German family. I simply don’t have the same vocabulary as I once did, big part of that was moving to the states and not using it on a daily basis. Just another thought, I do hope he’s doing well.

Countries had already been deporting them for a while, telling them there is no more war.

So they would try to remain due to that, or the fact that they don't even know Syria and it's a foreign place to them after years in exile. She won her appeal and got to remain in the Netherlands, but govts were trying to send them back on the basis that there was no more active conflict. Honestly they just want to stay because the lifestyle and quality of life is not something they'll have in Syria by any standards and will take years to begin to rebuild. They're basically economic refugees now, if there is such a thing but native born come first. If the CIA had taken Assad out, there never would have been gassings, or a massive exodus on people showing up in all our countries which is what the left wanted here. To do nothing which is immoral and take them in here, which solves nothing and strains your fellow people. I was horrified and after the children being gassed occured I wanted to get involved because it could have been simplified. Corrupt Obama and the democrats refused. I genuinely hope to God and pray for Syria, and peaceful, stable life but I sadly don't see that coming. They replace evil tyrants with more, which is what happens in these troubled regions and situations. Egypt included. The Arab Spring was in vane, I hate to say.

The US's support for the Khmer Rouge was motivated by several factors, including: Animosity toward Vietnam and its Soviet backers A desire to improve relations with China, the Khmer Rouge's patron The US's support for the Khmer Rouge was a moral blunder that contributed to the survival of the genocidal regime.

[@austinitesince1979]

youtube has a really powerful documentary on Pol Pot. Kissinger and Nixon waged a bombing campaign on Cambodia that was nearly as many bombs dropped on Japan and Europe in WWII. every survivor of the bombed villages were pulled into Pol Pot's regime which was a really insane regime. his regime waged war against his own people, anyone who was a smart affluent person, and murdered anyone who wore glasses, so doctors had to run around without their glasses on if they wanted to live through it. kind of like the Russian revolution on steroids. 8 million lives lost roughly. Pol Pot escaped across the border to his Chinese allies and briefly continued his reign from outside of Cambodia...came back into Cambodia to rule for a while longer... he was eventually defeated. the fighting finally ended around 1997. In the film Fog of War, Robert S. McNamara admitted he had been strategically wrong about Vietnam

Assad married an English woman, then automatically got the trust of the English Crown and the European Union. They regarded him as their long lost brother-in-law. Lets not forget this is the man who's father gassed 40.000 Syrians in Hama province (Yes, Hama is that province that fell days ago). But then in 2013 Bashar al-Assad himself used Sarin-Gas (Chemical weapon) against his own citizens which resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths. This became known as the "Ghouta Chemical Attack". After Multiple investigations, including those by the United Nations and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), have confirmed the use of chemical weapons by Assad's forces.
