    A fascinating reaction: “Why don’t all these people realize how much better off they are?”

    66 percent of surveyed say that they regret the end of the Soviet Union and the fall of communism. Maybe they miss crushing poverty, suppression, state murders, lack of freedom and gulags? Amazing how quickly people forget the abuses of communism …

    Popular Front protest dispatch, looking at the situation on the ground in , is out now. It’s not a lot because we got kettled non-stop and weren’t allowed to move freely, but I put something half-decent together I think. Have a watch:

    The issue was never the US staying, just leaving while giving its local proxies a deal to reintegrate with Damascus that allowed them a modicum of autonomy. A Trump deal directly with Assad would most likely have been better than this.

    This nightmarish “compromise” effectively obliterates the largest Kurdish areas in Syria, & would put most Assyrian areas under Turkish heel as well. Damascus would reassume control of mostly Arab areas aside from devastated Khabur & a smattering of Jaziran Kurd+Ezidi villages.

    Our best guess as to what Jazeera Region is in 6-12 months time after US withdraws its forces & airpower- major urban areas in Deir Azzour & South Raqqah Provinces will be taken by the Regime/Iran - Northern…

    Meandering Roman streets of Trajan's "Market" complex in central Rome. The area is so well preserved, it is easy to forget that it was built in the early 2nd century, c.110 AD, when the deserted streets would once have been bustling with metropolitan ancient Romans.
