    Lifting sanctions on Syria is not wrong just because Trump does it. Biden/Harris would probably have done it too, and rightly so because this guy as the ruler of Syria is the best the US can get.

      Yeah, to add a different perspective, but largely agreeing.

      The Americans have unnecessarily squeezed this new regime in Syria for months more than they needed to, international aid agencies that could provide some stability in the country haven’t been able to enter due to these sanctions, Rest is Politics UK spoke in better detail about this a few months back.

      Biden had a smallish wondow of a chance to give this regime a go, Trump has had ample time. In this case, it seems America’s corruption may have circumvented their stubborn prejudice and evangelism.

      Bad action; good result? On balance at least?
