Yeah, I'm very serious. The country is literally overrun by jihadists now. If you don't understand that people are going to be fleeing what's happening you're living in a fantasy world. Even reuters understands what's happening https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/up-15-million-people-could-flee-syrian-escalation-un-official-says-2024-12-06/

Your reference predates Assad's toppling and the very URL mentions people fleeing due to escalation, so it doesn't contradict the comment to which you replied, nor does it substantiate your statements. Do you have a better corroboration?

Syria has now been invaded by Turkey and Israel, with a whole bunch of different groups fighting each other there for dominance now. If you don't understand how this is going to result in a massive refugee crisis then I don't know what to tell you. I guess you'll just have to wait a few months and see for yourself

Oh my, and you accuse of living knowledge a fantasy world...

They literally just unearthed a mass grave of approximately 150.000 people that have been murdered by Assad...
