We have witnessed a lot of crazy in the past several years, but this just about takes the proverbial cake.
Current Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, was the leader of al-Qaeda in Syria and had a $10 million bounty on his head as a designated terrorist only a few months ago. Today, French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed him to the presidential palace and called for the EU and USA to drop sanctions against the terrorist network.
PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron called on the United States and the European Union to lift sanctions against Syria on Wednesday after hosting the Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa on his first visit to Europe.
The French leader said Washington should “rush to lift sanctions,” maintain troops in Syria and then review the situation at a later date.
“The interest of all, including of the Americans, is today to act and accompany us in lifting sanctions on the Syrian people,” Macron said at a press conference alongside al-Sharaa.
Al-Sharaa, a former Al Qaeda member, has received a cautious welcome from the international community after his forces toppled brutal Syrian dictator Bashar Assad late last year.
He has vowed to protect minority groups in Syria and to pursue more inclusive policies. But sectarian violence in recent months, including two bloody days in March during which security forces killed hundreds of civilians, has raised fears that al-Sharaa is failing to rein in Syria’s extremist factions. The Syrian leader subsequently vowed to punish those responsible.
In Paris al-Sharaa argued that “elements of the former [Assad] regime took advantage of the situation to rekindle the war … we’ve launched an investigation committee and a reconciliation committee.”
The French president also called on the EU to stand by its decision to suspend sanctions against Syria. In February Brussels lifted restrictions in the areas of energy, transport and banking, but a June deadline for reviewing them is fast approaching.
“Several allied nations have hesitations, we will work toward dispelling those doubts,” Macron said. (more)
Ahh. Let me think about it….No
Of course he did…
I’m sure President Trump will get right on it.
I did not have to think about it. My mind was made up after finishing reading Sundance’s title to the post.
Anyone who has been observing Macron and his EU/Globalist cohorts and their despotic agendas would give this request the attention it deserves, DI.
What his proposal deserves is to be filed in the round file or, better yet, the burn bag.
I imagine this was the answer.
Sanctions against France! Harboring terrorists, providing them with material support. Treaty violations. Sanction France now!
Agreed! Best case scenario is all sanctions remain in place during your 10 year probationary period. THEN, we will consider it.
Once Syria becomes a Trump resort, I’m good with that.
Trump Links Libya with the world’s biggest sand trap
Not sure even 10 years is long enough. He should have to prove that he is not only a “former Al Qaeda member“, but that he actually and sincerely rejects their ideology and objectives before he gets the slightest positive consideration. Since he rose to be a leader in the group and was not just some half-hearted follower (if there are any of those), then Trump and everyone else (at least everyone smarter and more principled than Macron) needs to assume everything this guy is saying is a lie.
“You can trust the Communists…To Be Communists!”
In a similar fashion…
“You can trust murderous Islamic Jihadists…To Be Murderous Islamic Jihadists!”
Q.E.D.
Yes but just like you have bad NAZIS , and good NAZIs, you also have bad head-lopping Jihadist terrorists, and good head-lopping jihadist terrorists
You see, we just don’t get it yet. Our NAZIs and jihadists are the good sort, the rest apparently, are the bad kind.
That’s what you call a distinction without a difference!
Are we going to pay Macron the $10 million dollars “for information about al-Jawlani”?
Is this one of those dudes that met with Senator John McCain, Congressman Kinzinger and CIA McMullin way back when McCain and his buddies were visiting – and helping – the founding fathers of ISIS? I am guessing there is some connection as he is killing people in Syria.
Ha ha ha. They should have thrown in “women’s rights” “climate change” and “transgender men in women’s restrooms”.
“He has vowed to protect minority groups in Syria and to pursue more inclusive policies.”
Sure. Islam allows muslims to lie to the infidels if it advances their cause.
Same with democrats.
Well I certainly understand why this was tagged as “Big Stupid Government”! But then again it is Cougar Owned Macron, so as Forrest Gump might tag it; “stupid is as stupid does”.
Cougar or Nittany Lion?🤔
Either – same jerk.
No announcement from Paris on the date arranged to chat to the leader of the Yazidis and others massacred in their thousands by ISIS (deadname Al Qaeda).
Is Macron shilling for froggie weapons industries or banking or something?
The US weapons going into Ukraine has dried up hence the black market weapons being resold into Syria has dried up.
Now they need the sanctions lifted so they can buy their own until another black market avenue develops like Pakistan/India.
IMHO.
“”Meanwhile, Macron has been ramping up efforts to persuade France’s allies to move away from purchases of American military hardware, which dovetails with Canada’s rethink on F-35s and also coincides with mounting questions and concerns in Europe that European defences are overly dependent on U.S. weaponry, technical support and goodwill.””
Is this the backstory?

Starting from scratch in the mid-1980s, David de Rothschild sought to emulate his arch-rival. He rebuilt the bank his father had lost to the state around Paris Orléans, a listed company that was later rebranded Rothschild & Co and holds the family’s banking interests. David lured young civil servants such as current French president Emmanuel Macron. Like David-Weill before him, who unified Lazard’s Paris, London and New York teams after creating Eurazeo in 2001, David de Rothschild used Paris Orléans to unite his bank with the British merchant banking arm of the Rothschild dynasties in 2012. For both banking scions, these were attempts to reconcile retaining family control and growth.””

“”The common factor uniting Macron and Zelensky is Rothschild & Co.
In 2022, Rothschild & Co acted as a financial advisor to Kiev.
As a result of this work, Zelensky was able to achieve the restructuring of Ukraine’s debt to foreign creditors in the amount of $ 20 billion.
Now the Rothschild Bank is involved in a deal to buy Milleis Banque, which could become Zelensky’s financial foothold in France.””

“”Nov. 4, 2021 (EIRNS)—It is clear from the remarks of Prince Charles’s central banker Mark Carney, Sir Michael Bloomberg, and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink at the Glasgow “Suicide Summit” called COP26, that they have a) great financial momentum in organizing the worldwide 1% to cut off new fossil fuel investment, and b) a great problem—the “green finance” investments are failures.””

And a man.
I pray for and hope that Pakistan and India will both tell the CCP-PRC to take a hike, get the hell out of THEIR region, their borders, stop agitating regarding Kashmir – it is the CCP-PRC desperately agitating on Kashmir to get World War III going somewhere, somehow –
If peace-loving people in Pakistan and India could say “just get the hell out, everyone else – stop trying to get us involved in your proxy wars, like Ukraine – and no proxy war over Kashmir” – IMHO, Kashmir is being looked at as another potential “flash point” to foment a Ukraine-like situation, to get the money flowing from the US.
Imran Kahn did a pretty good thing that was in the direction of real peacemaking – he had a lot of work done on the massive Sikh temple that is inside the border of Pakistan and also made it possible to for Sikh people in India to peacefully view it and even to come visit it on a special occasion. But now Imran Kahn is in prison because he did not go along with the American pressure to go against Russia re Ukraine. Why in the heck does our country have any right to go over to Pakistan and get their leader put in prison for not going along with “the plan”?
Perhaps by some miracle we will see Imran Kahn and Modi working together to resolve Kashmir and for the people to live peaceably, to recognize it for what it really is, “divide and conquer” just as the British did in the days of “Empire” whether pitting the Irish Catholics against the Irish Protestants or breaking down the people in Africa and Asia. Fan every flame.
Now too the CCP-PRC has been using that as well to agitate and break down sovereign people. If the Nobel Prize people were really for real, about peace, they would recognize that and would reward people refusing the meddling of the EU, the USA and the CCP-PRC in their affairs.
I agree with all.
Think about those who were attempting to improve their countries and their citizens:
Jovenel Moise, Haiti, assassinated.
Shinzo Abe, Japan, assassinated.
President trump, USA, attempted assassination x2
Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil, arrested, imprisoned.
The Romanian election results tossed
Orban of Hungary disliked by EU.
Pakistan’s Imran Khan arrested imprisoned.
I know there are many more.
And now, this article from The Atlantic.
David Frum and Anne Applebaum claim Trump to be the most corrupt president in US history.
Biden was the most corrupt president in our history and is painted as capable and successful 46.
The world is upside down.
I hope people are right with their heavenly Father.

Bingo. I’m not thrilled with President Trump going to Qatar next week.
I want President Trump to cut off money going to Qatar (financial state sponsor for terrorists).
The CIA supports Qatar.
Maybe that’s why President Trump is going. 🤷♀️ 👍
Is there any doubt that the IC is the greatest frustration to peace in the Middle East?
Any doubt at all?
The Derp State, writ Global, is indeed the obstacle to peace in the Middle East.
Same as everywhere else it covets chaos.
None doubt.

Maybe after France throws out Le Penn’s convictions and restores her standing for elections
Duh, Marco…Macron…like just 5 days ago Syrian forces were still doing the violence against Syria’s Druze community.
Just one question to the world,
(dont take this wrong cause Im a little person myself):
How come all those little men seem to think they will rise to power over the whole world? 😛
US: Violence against Syria’s Druze is unacceptable, authorities must stop the fighting
The US slams attacks on Syria’s Druze community, urging interim authorities to halt violence, punish perpetrators, and protect minorities.
May 2, 2025, 5:19 AM (GMT+3)
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/407728
Excerpt:
The United States on Thursday condemned the violence against Syria’s Druze community, calling on the country’s interim authorities to hold perpetrators accountable.
“The recent violence and inflammatory rhetoric targeting members of the Druze community in Syria is reprehensible and unacceptable. The interim authorities must stop the fighting, hold perpetrators of violence and civilian harm accountable for their actions, and ensure the security of all Syrians,” said State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce in a statement.
“Sectarianism will only sink Syria and the region into chaos and more violence. We have seen that Syrians can solve their disputes peacefully through negotiations. We call for a representative future government that protects and integrates all of Syria’s communities, including ethnic and religious minorities,” she added.
The statement follows clashes in Syria, sparked by the circulation of an audio recording attributed to a Druze citizen and deemed blasphemous.
Wait. Wasn’t al-Sharaa’s 2024 ouster of Syria’s former leader Assad a CIA / EU / Mossad / Globalist objective?
So why would we support that?
“Just say no.”
PS – “brutal Syrian dictator Assad” is selective BS. When the press and cameras aren’t present, every religious or secular leader in the Middle East is a “brutal dictator”, elected or not.
Judge orders Trump to lift sanctions in 3, 2,……
Macron is so desperate for some sort of relevance
Macron has proven once again that the only flag the French love, is the white flag of surrender!!!
Oh, actually, you underestimate the actual resistance of the French people. The French are the first to the streets when the government engages in F’ery.
The French are on the edge of extinction due to their no-go zones…
WEF is a suicide pact for the West on behalf of China.
Run by The City.
Actually, all of Europe.
The entire world seems to be going completely insane.
Why? For the love of power, control, and, most importantly, money.
If this runaway, corrupt train is not stopped soon, the satanic, demonic ideologies of the globalist leftists will destroy humanity. I am not hopeful in the least. May Jesus come for the second time, soon. We need Him so badly.
Godspeed to one and all.
God gave us a 4 year reprieve. That doesn’t mean the rest of the world isn’t still headed straight to Hell. Prepare wisely.

For all of those things you cite, plus the absolute lack of any religious belief. What is that quote?
G.K. Chesterton — “When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.”
Oh, look honey: a terrorist in a suit!!!
Take a picture!
Look at the way the snake has his tongue out…
F that French queer loser shoot the sand monkey to death.
Who was really fighting the “War On Terror: in Syria, Russia, or Obama’s handlers?
It looks like the terrorist is trying to rub the frogs hand on his man parts like Will Ferrell did to Zach Galifinakis in the silly political film..
So how much is the bounty now?
And does anyone know what hotel the clan is staying at?
Macron must know how irrelevant he is because he’s certainly trying to get in the headlines.
First, he barges into the Zelensky-Trump meeting in Rome until President Trump told him he didn’t belong there.
Now he ups the ante with this.
He must not have a clue as to how stupid he looks as he pursues his quest.
Surrender monkey.
Macron has been called a “Rothschild errand boy” by Russian analyst Andrei Martyanov. The latter is too polite. So, the question is not “what is Macron up to?” but “what are Macron’s owners up to?”
We can be sure that trade deals, probably energy related, are behind this move, and are DIRECTLY related to Rothschild profits. They have to make up for all the money they lost after their failed Ukrainian/Russian adventure. All this internationalism just drives unending wars for profit.
Macron is a puppet and will do and say what ever the hand up his a** makes him do.
Believe it or not, the wacky stories about his… *ahem*… “wife” are shaping up to be totally legit. In that regard, I’d say Macron is a very dangerous man… a cornered little rat…
He was literally an investment banker for Rothchild & Co. Even the legacy media regularly referred to him as the “former Rothchild banker”
…whats the mackroon get out of this idiocy? all i see are the arms makers and dealers capturing all the unfozen assets, thereby opening the spigot on KICKBACKS!
WHEEEEEEEEEE!
…this is all about a fat Christmas bonus…
I sure as Hades hope not. Is this more of an indication of the tenuous position France finds itself vis a vis Islam?
“brutal Syrian dictator Bashar Assad”
Assad, ISIS… ISIS, Assad… tough one… gonna hafta go with Assad here, I think…
That guy on the bottom is in our House of Representatives now isn’t he?
Had to laugh at that one. But, hey, I would believe it given how stupid some of our countrymen are.
These EU types are beyond pathetic
just came to read all the guesses or comments on it. I have no clue. This is a weird one done in the open.
Once a fool, always a fool!
Y’know, I do believe I can see why Micron likes him.
Meanwhile, also in Paris, Micron has vowed to punish those responsible for the enormous increase in rapes, murders, arson, thefts and terror attacks in France. He argues that they are the fault of the extreme right, which wants to remove and punish those causing those crimes, because all his government-paid scientific studies and investigative committees and anti-terror bureaucracies show that lack of inclusiveness is what triggers criminals.
I forget the word for it, but Islam has a policy of calling for (and lying about the reasons for) truces while rearming preparing for the next round of religiously inspired murders.
Taqiyya is one word for permitted lying.
Macron continues to demonstrate that he is the world’s greatest Fool.
No wonder France didn’t last a month when WW2 broke out . . . 🤡 He’s no smarter than that “peace for our time” British guy . . .
EU has opened their borders to become the caliphate so of course, lilMacron welcomes their subhumans w/open arms….
The EU is toast
France has nuclear weapons, as does the UK. If the EU is toast, we might just get toasted too.
The slimy little Rothchild banker is quite the verbal contortionist.
al-Sharaa is better known around the world by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Julani. But the Julani name is associated more with all the massacres, al Qaeda and ISIS ties and the kidnapping of Alawite and Druze girls into sex slavery. So apparently now the media is referring to him as al-Sharaa when they want to clean up his image and make him appear to be an acceptable political leader.
Gee, He looks nice.
France surrenders on behalf of the EU and US. Always first.
How about sanctions against France for their persecution of LePen.
So now that he’s in charge of Syria the bounty is dropped and he’s welcomed with open arms. What does Syria have that France wants?
Why should there sanctions on Syria ?? It’s none of our business who they have governing the country
Sounds like Macron is just trying to be relevant. LOL – Not a chance in my mind.
Why on Earth would we even consider doing that? Macron needs to retire and keep his mouth shut.
Three possible reasons:
A. Macron is stupid.
B. Macron has been purchased by the Muslim terrorists.
C. All of the above
Macron hoisted the 🏳 & he wants the US to to pay for it. Hard pass.
Why not ask? We give money to the Taliban. We gave a windfall gift to Iran; cargo planes full of cold cash. We were “running guns” out of Benghazi. Macron just looks and acts stupid, but our country has a track record of honoring such ignorant and evil requests.
USA Gave money to Al queada too, as well as arming terrorists in Niger and Burkina Faso who were kidnapping young girls. The list goes on.
Syria is methodically wiping out it’s Christian population. So why all the fuss says Macron?
Hey Macron what you do with your Grandma oh sorry I mean your wife? Macron must have fallen on his head.
Ummmmm NO we are going to blast terrorists to Kingdom Come!!
The man is a moron!!💁🏻♀️
Micron has probably been told that the ever growing muslim population in France will create havoc beyond his worst nightmares if he steps out of line. He’s not trying to be important or relevant, he’s just scared- and rightly so.
