Old friend Benjamin Bald, showing the Syria the MSM denied existed & to prove it they tried to get the US to wipe it off the map.

The foreign jihadis, al Nusra, al-Qaida, ISIS, all tried to take the country from the people & their government, by force, by terror, by acts of such barbarism, that other people couldn't believe it, until they saw the results.

With the help of the Russian military &, almost incidentally President Trump, the Syrian people got control of most of their country, though there is factional conflict going on to this day, between the various clan-held territories, towns, farming areas etc.

The democratically elected President, is still in office, having been re-elected by an overwhelming number of votes.
