Likewise, but a bit more to the right than you (still that quarter though).

 

Interesting quiz thing

Remind me one day to post a link on internet security, how much and relevance of personal information you should consider posting online. Quiet enlightening when I dig it out. Surprised you haven't been trained to death on these things. You've certainly done the being a bore training.

The regime in Syria looks likely to fall soon.

Anyone know (or even have an educated guess) what this might bring into the region?

Don’t know about the politics there, but most certainly there will be another huge wave of asylum seekers coming our way no matter what transpires ☹️

Is it show and tell time then? This is mine. I'm not convinced on the accuracy though, a few  of the questions were a bit weird; non of the answers resonated with me at all.

 

 

This is interesting too, but again, not really a surprise. Kamala Harris isn't actually a Red at all.

Taliban-ish like Afghanistan maybe

 

But Syria has  alot more % of urban living "cultured" townies so unsure how allah akbar-ish/sharia it will end up ....

 

Afghanistan was alot more yokel/rural on the whole.

 

Supposedly HTS have claimed they aren't gonna persecute the ethnic minorities and religions but the taliban also said that but now are pretty extreme.

 

The Kurdish bit will want to maintain its independence. Also all the oil wells are in the Kurd region guarded by US troops, HTS will want them back......surely?

 

Very hard to say i reckon so many rival factions and proxy backers from outside countries.

 

Might end up some  form of Somalia style chaos?

 

Threres more rival rebel faction than in the life of Brian who have sometimes being fighting each other. HTS don't like the Turk backed proxy group SNA for example & SNA seem to be fighting the Kurds more than Assad.

No idea, other than more chaos and carnage.

 

I don't know who likes Syria and who doesn't. I think they're friends with Iran, presumably that makes them not friends of Israel. Though if Islamist rebels take over then that's bad for Israel maybe.

 

We need that handy little diagram that I found a while back, the one showing the allegiances between all the different countries and groups in the region.
