Syrian President plays basketball with US military commanders

An astonishing video of Syrian President Ahmed al Sharaa playing basketball with Admiral Brad Cooper (Centcom Commander) and Brigadier General Kevin Lambert (Operation Inherent Resolve  Commander).

President al Sharaa is a former al-Qaeda leader, and was designated a global terrorist in 2013.

To see him playing basketball with top US commanders is surreal (and his foreign minister posted the video).

He is far from an angel, but he is the best hope for a more peaceful Syria in future. It is good to see the US having positive relations with him.
