Satire and Symbolism: Assad's Fall and Syria's Future

This chapter humorously celebrates the public's joyous reactions to the end of the Assad regime in Syria, as they topple statues of the dictator and engage in unexpected looting.

The commentary rounds off with a satirical critique of Donald Trump, highlighting his unconventional behavior and a bizarre marketing moment with Jill Biden.
