    Okay his subservient attitude towards Israel is certainly something to criticize him for, but the ISIS thing is straight up misinformation. He participated in the Iraqi insurgency until 2006, aka he was blowing up/shooting American soldiers in Iraq, an objectively good act. He was arrested just before things started to spiral out of control.

      He was not on isis but with el qaida.

      El qaida in Iraq was responsible of targeting Shi’a populations, markets, religious sites, and public gatherings with car bombs

      His soldiers have been massacring Alawites, Christians and Druze and tearing down statues because they’re blasphemous. He’s a Sunni extremist but because he is a vassal to the US Empire, is busy crushing Palestinian resistance in Syria and willing to hand over the Golan Heights to Israel, he is a “great guy” as per Trump and the darling of Western liberals
