🍝 Today's Sitdown: Syrian presidency to send new force to halt clashes in south

🍝 THE DAILY SITDOWN 🍝 Where News Gets Made... Tony Style

Syrian presidency to send new force to halt clashes in south

Date: 7/19/2025 Original Source: BBC (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0m87d4p9gvo)

TONY SAYS:

So, listen to this bullshit, Paulie. This whole thing in Syria… it’s a goddamn mess, worse than a plate of gabagool after a three-day bender. You got these Bedouins and Druze, whaddya know about these guys? Fuckin’ tribes, right? Always scrappin’, like two mutts over a bone. Only this bone is a whole fuckin’ province, Suweida, they call it. Near six hundred people dead already, according to the whispers… a real bloodbath, worse than that time we whacked Mikey Palmice.

This Sharaa fella, the interim president – sounds like a character outta one of those cheesy spy movies, right? – says they’re sendin’ in troops. Troops? Like that’s gonna solve anything! These guys are already accused of killin’ Druze civilians. Extrajudicial executions they call it, like they’re some fancy lawyers instead of a bunch of goons with AK-47s. It’s the same song and dance, only with camels instead of Cadillacs. These people are more savage than a pack of rats in a dumpster.

Then you got Israel, jumpin’ in like a freakin’ bull in a china shop. Bombin’ the shit outta the place to get their troops outta there. Sounds like a little “You hit my guy, I hit your guy” situation, except on a much bigger, more fucked up scale.

Now, this Tom Barrack, the US ambassador – this guy sounds like a real winner. Posts on X, says Netanyahu and Sharaa agreed to a ceasefire. A ceasefire? He says they “embraced” it. Embraced it? Sounds like some kind of f***in’ hug after a good fuckin’ beatdown. Nobody's publicly sayin’ shit, of course. These guys are tighter than a drum, and they’re all playin’ their own game. Cazzo.

The whole thing is a goddamn onion, right? You peel back one layer, and you find another layer of bullshit. Before Sharaa announces his "peacekeeping" deployment, some Israeli official says they'll let Syrian security forces in for 48 hours to "protect" the Druze. Forty-eight hours? That’s like giving a junkie a single-use bag of smack. It’s barely enough to scratch the itch.

This Lina Sinjab from the BBC, she says this violence is spreadin’ across the country. The UN is involved too. Sounds like a freakin’ United Nations of bullshit, if you ask me.

(Tony takes a long sip of his espresso)

Look, this whole Syria thing…it's a reminder, see? Even in this crazy world of ours…the principles remain the same. It’s all about power, Paulie. Control. Who holds the gun, who calls the shots. These guys, these presidents, these ambassadors…they're all just playing a different version of our game. Only their stakes are a little higher…and their consequences a whole lot messier. Capisce? Fuhgeddaboudit. Now, where’s that cannoli? I’m starving.
