When will western leaders stop faffing about and decimate those savages? As long as they have a base of operation in the Levant, their sympathisers will continue to flock to their campaign of terror.

When we figure out a viable replacement to fill the power vacuum that always forms whenever we topple any sort of government. Problem is, we don't have a viable option outside of letting Assad back in, and that doesn't fly with some of our allies in the region. Russia and Iran are all for it of course, but the Saudis? Hell no, they want to curb Iran's influence as much as possible.

The real question in the Middle East is how should we really be looking at the two major regional powers, Saudi Arabia and Iran? Which horse should we be backing?

I vote for neither.

So conservative media has invented an event that's not actually happening called "Day of Rage" which apparently was created by muslims and promoted by anonymous and involves black people rioting.

I mean, it has all the elements of a perfect Fox headline!

Wow. I did not know this. Apparently, its today. I didn't notice anything, but since it is completely fake, that is to be expected.

To be fair (and balanced) to Fox News, the only place the word "rage" appears on its website right now is as part of the word "coverage".

No one actually knows where that came from. It originated back in 2014. Not surprised to see sites get hoaxed, it's not exactly uncommon on the left or the right.

The dude didn't abide, looks like he's staying. Coups d'état are so passé.

It's one thing to pass along a hoax story in a report or online story that goes up and stays up, but Hannity has been going on about this Night of Rage shit for 3 days now, despite the fact that with roughly 0.1% effort you could find out it's a hoax.

Facts don't matter if lies fit your narrative.
