My analysis on why Iran abandoned Assad & relinquished everything it had built in Syria over four decades. A monumental development that will reshape the balance of power in the Middle East: nytimes.com/2024/12/07/wor…

"Why #Assad’s Regime Is Collapsing So Quickly -- While nobody was looking, #Syria's regime was increasingly hollowing out." My latest for @ForeignPolicy: foreignpolicy.com/2024/12/05/syr…

More history in the making - Syrians in Jaramana, a SE #Damascus suburb, tear down the Hafez al-#Assad statue. The end is near.

Extraordinary - opposition fighters from #Daraa are escorting #Syria’s Prime Minister out of his office & to the Four Seasons Hotel, in a move intended to symbolize the transfer of power & removal of #Assad regime rule.

Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.

🚨 BREAKING: Black GEORGIA voters say life is "FAR WORSE" under Harris/Biden, was BETTER under Trump, and that she is too focused on "emotion" but no action "Everything that glitters ain't gold. [She] looks great on paper. But I'm not sure it could translate to policies" "If you put her next to Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama there's no comparison... they would eat her up" “If you look at the statistics now, we’re far more worse now than we were before. Everything is worse now with Biden and Harris.” "I feel like she did an appeal to emotion in her debate, which is nice, but that doesn't really answer the facts of what you're about to do "She kept saying that she's a warrior, she's gonna fight, but I don't know... I mean, I get it, what you feel, but I don't think you are strong" "My thing is her strength. Is she going to be able to take a punch and give one?"

Can't wait to read this. I remember Lindsey telling me how important it was to read poetry as a reporter and how much it reveals about the human condition and the impact of war. So glad she's captured some of the poems that helped her understand so many key moments in history.

The football was amazing last night and we are so blessed to have brilliant commentators in the UK. John Hunt is one of the best and his world was ripped apart yesterday when his wife and daughters were murdered. Mark Chapman knows himself how brutal life can be at times. Give yourself a moment to listen to how he introduced the football after the news about his colleague and friend had just been reported in the bulletin before he started 💔
