Syria's al Sharaa speaks with former US Army General David Petraeus during the Concordia Annual Summit in New York
In a personal question, Petraeus asked how he manages the pressure of leading a country after years of conflict. "I draw my strength from God [BLASPHEMOUS], from my team, and from the resilience of the Syrian nation," the Syrian leader answered. "I spent 25 of my 43 years in conflict and crisis, so I am used to hardship. Decisions that carry the destiny of a nation must be taken with calm and an open mind."
The event took place at the Concordia Annual Summit on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, marking a rare encounter between Syria's president and a former top US official.
Sharaa's visit to the US comes amid ongoing debates over sanctions and Syria's future. Damascus seeks the permanent lifting of US sanctions that remain in effect despite recent easing measures. Much of the sanctions stem from a 2019 US law, which sanctioned the former Assad regime for war crimes during the civil war.
Cut-throat murderers from Al Qaeda are messengers of SATAN.

"You say they're terrorists, I say they're freedom fighters. And I want to instill the same jihadic feeling in our peoples' heart, in the Aryan race, that they have for their father, who they call Allah."
A long haul, today under MAGA, Trump and "Stand with Israel" the terrorists have succeeded.

Jeffrey Sachs Goes Nuclear on Trump, Drops Bombshell on Ukraine War | Times Now World |
Watch as Renowned economist and global affairs expert Professor Jeffrey Sachs sits down with to deliver a candid, clear-eyed analysis of today's tangled geopolitics. From Trump's looming summit with Putin to the origins of the Russia-Ukraine war, NATO expansion, and the real motive behind U.S. tariffs on India, Sachs brings historical clarity and modern insight.
In this wide-ranging conversation, he explains why the West, not just Russia, bears responsibility for the war in Ukraine, dissects U.S. protectionism and Washington's true stance toward India ("don't trust U.S. politicians!"), and outlines why India should pursue a truly multipolar export strategy--including closer ties with China and joining Asia-Pacific trade groups.
Sachs argues the current world order is overdue for change: India and China, together representing 40% of the world's population, must transcend border disputes and help reshape global governance--including at the United Nations. Hear his unsparing views on why the U.S. resents rising powers, what BRICS must do next, and why global peace depends on ending Washington's delusions of hegemony.
Don't miss Professor Sachs' sharp, accessible, and often provocative take on the shifting political and economic landscape.
