I think the US needs a lot more rebels than its currently got for that to happen.
The Damascus Countryside Governorate has appealed on social media to former soldiers and prison workers in Bashar al-Assadâs regime to provide the rebel forces with the codes to electronic underground doors.
They say they have been unable to open them in order to free âmore than 100,000 detainees who can be seen on CCTV monitorsâ.

Other footage has shown prisoners being freed - including a small child being held with his mother. He is shown in a video of women being released that was posted by the Turkey-based Association of Detainees and The Missing in Sednaya Prison (ADMSP).âHe [Assad] has fallen. Donât be scared,â a voice on the video says, apparently trying to reassure the women that they were now safe.
Oh Jesus fuck. Thatâs awful. I hope they find some way to get those poor people out.

U.S. Soldier #1: Any word on where weâre headed for?
U.S. Soldier #2: I hear itâs San Marcos.
U.S. Soldier #1: Are we fighting for or against the government?
U.S. Soldier #2: The C.I.A.'s not taking any chances this time. Some of us are for, and some us are going to be against it.
U.S. Soldier #1: Oh.

In the German dub, solder #1 doesnât say âOh.â He says âfoolproofâ (narrensicher).
Which I think somehow rounds off the dialogue better.
Investigators had âgained access to its civil service officeâ, a police spokesperson said, adding: âHowever, we are currently unable to enter the main building due to access restrictions imposed by the presidential security guards.â
WW III has begun-- how you gonna keep shareholders happy? 
The business of business is government.
Hereâs my theory; Elon Musk wants to be Emperor of the World; buddies up to and influences both Putin and Trump and while Putin thinks heâs pulling Trumpâs strings, Musk is pulling both of their strings, and is trying to control international communications systems. Now he has to get China under his control.
Thatâs so crazy that it just might work!
