Abu Mohammed al-Jolani may as well be described as the Syrian/2024’s version of Juan Guaido, who most will recall was the “random guy” from Venezuela – of whom United States officials and the Donald Trump administration had the supreme arrogance to name/designate the new president of Venezuela.

Imagine the immense legal hot water your average, everyday citizen would have to endure if he/she hired mercenary killers to murder tens or hundreds of his/her neighbors. Such is not the case for government officials who devise, advocate, and “successfully” carry out covert plans where mercenary killers are paid, fed, armed, transported, provided training and logistical support etc.; such behind-the-scenes criminal wars of aggression operators rarely, if ever, find themselves in immensely hot legal water.

The whole point of all this is that Washington and friends want to completely dominate every square millimeter of the planet and they will do whatever it takes to do that–killing millions, torturing, assassinating and probably, if they knew how, making a deal with Satan to achieve their goals. All this to fulfill the European dream of a new Roman Empire (they finally dispensed with the “Holy” as is appropriate.
