Syria’s violent jihadist leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, who changed his name to Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa to fool gullible Westerners into thinking he changed his views and goals along with his name, is still the same ruthless jihadist he always was —from his days leading Jabhat al-Nusra/Al-Nusra Front.
But not for ToyBoy Macron. For him, this head chopper has just the right credentials to be a bona fide business partner.

French President Macron Asks EU and USA to Drop Sanctions Against Al-Qaeda in Syria
We have witnessed a lot of crazy in the past several years, but this just about takes the proverbial cake.
Current Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, was the leader of al-Qaeda in Syria and had a $10 million bounty on his head as a designated terrorist only a few months ago. Today, French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed him to the presidential palace and called for the EU and USA to drop sanctions against the terrorist network.
PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron called on the United States and the European Union to lift sanctions against Syria on Wednesday after hosting the Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa on his first visit to Europe.
The French leader said Washington should “rush to lift sanctions,” maintain troops in Syria and then review the situation at a later date.
“The interest of all, including of the Americans, is today to act and accompany us in lifting sanctions on the Syrian people,” Macron said at a press conference alongside al-Sharaa.
Al-Sharaa, a former Al Qaeda member, has received a cautious welcome from the international community after his forces toppled brutal Syrian dictator Bashar Assad late last year.
