So. Syria.
There's a lot going on over there, but the CliffsNotes version is this: about two weeks ago, Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and other rebels launched an attack in the north, and quickly overtook the city of Aleppo before moving on Damascus. Yesterday, Damascus fell and Bashar al-Assad stepped down after ruling since his father died in 2000.
Despite Kamala Harris' asinine claim during the debates that there were no American troops in combat zones, there are 900 troops in Syria right now, and President Biden (yeah, he's still president, we guess) is going to address the nation about it:
JUST IN - Biden to address the nation on Syria.

What could possibly go wrong?
He probably thinks they said Santa

Yeah. It's not going to go well.
Will he explain how another country fell on his watch?

No, but he'll blame Trump and tell us how much of our tax dollars he's sending to Syria now.
Please don’t. https://t.co/siDsDf5REj

This.
Serious question: Who is funding the Syrian rebels? https://t.co/mEHhSDBHx1

We have a sneaking suspicion we'll find out.
How many Syrians whom we can't vet are we importing, and how much money are we sending? https://t.co/chOU3ltsvW

We're wondering that, too.
I look forward to the mumbling and incoherent thoughts. https://t.co/dgOH9jkxdm

At least the potential memes will be lit.
