I never understood the sudden intensity with which the West turned on Assad. While he was a dictator, sure, there are a lot of dictators and I'd never heard that he was especially or particularly monstrous. Were there political murders thought to be associated with him? Sure - but quite a lot of pe...

Jump to postWell you forgot Duterte and the Philippines, Japan under Abe, British nationalism with Brexit, all the various movements in mainland Europe, and down the list we go.

Jump to postAnd the fact is, this country is not a functional Democracy when the loser of the popular vote, by such a margin, becomes the leader.
