There's always a Tweet.

So the Caliph blew himself up

Well nice to have some good news from Syria for a change.

I mean I don't know how relevant that guy is anymore but still now ISIS has to distract itself finding his successor.

It's interesting he was found right under the noses of the Turks around the Western backed "moderate" opposition. Idlib needs a good scouring.

It's geoblocked here, what did he say?

Basically summarizing the retarded behavior of Trump over the last weeks with regards to Syria, the reactions, and its implications

Moderate western-backed opposition was in the south, along the Jordan border, not around Idleb. Idleb was Al-Qaida, other islamist groups and Erdogan's playground.

Agreed.  I've been wondering what we expect to do there given that Isis is mostly gone. Assad isn't going to be overthrown by the remaining rebels and if the US is supporting them then who are they and what are their goals.

They haven't been able to win for years and these jihadists should be killed off. Been kept on life support as a cynical leverage against the Syrian government.

As ever, what does he have against dogs?

The number of people he's fired like a dog, or have begged like a dog and now died like a dog is just kind of horrifying

Is this the dog days afternoon of a presidency?

He even called the K9 a dog FFS.

Not all dogs:

[Malthus]

Name not declassified - because knowing the dog's name might put his littermates at risk? 

[FunkMonk]

Future historians will write of the hero dog that personally ripped out Baghdadi's throat and shit on his corpse.

[Syt]

Trump's rambling speech announcing Baghdadi's death. Is it possible that he was shaken because he couldn't handle what was potentially rather violent/gory footage?
