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.
Saturday, late afternoon, the remanants of a cup of coffee have gone cold, the fire is warm, making the room seem cosier than it would otherwise be. The rain is intermittent, but a downpour is sure to come. Got a stinker of a cold, so informed Deacon that unfortunately, I won't be attending service tomorrow.
Going to have a nice hot meal, of roast beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic & herbs, with a side of steamed savoy cabbage, done over the pan of pot's.
I think a hot bath and early bed, are definitely on the cards for tonight, I'll read until I can't, then I'll put out the light & go to sleep. I've got cocoa, so a big mug of steaming hot cocoa beteween exiting the bath & going to bed, will be a nice way to end the evening.
I hope you are well & remembering to live, as well as being the worker/fixer/boss/co-owner/whatever. We must be mindful of the welfare of others, at all times, at all times except when we need to put ourselves first, temporarily, when it's time to recharge ...
