US sanctions on Syria lifted
The bully has
lifted
US sanctions against Syria.
I think this is the right thing to do, given the new government made up
of those who fought Assad. Of course, we can't be sure how much this
government will respect human rights, but it is likely to do more
if that if we give it the benefit of the doubt.
I am still concerned about the fate of Rojava, and we can't assume
that the bully
shares that concern at all. However, last I heard, the new government
sought a peaceful
accommodation
with Rojava.
