#1 US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the situation as "complicated" but said it looked like a "misunderstanding".

Actually, a whole series of misunderstandings.
(1) Americans': who despite all the negative past experience, keep looking for "reasonable Arabs".
(2) The terrorist's Ahmed al-Sharaa misunderstanding - you can butcher all the Alawites you want bonbon, but don't touch the Druze!
(3) Trump/Rubio misunderstanding - you should fire all ME desk USDOS employees.

#2 /\ Trump/Rubio misunderstanding - you should fire all ME desk USDOS employees.

Yes, but with the realization some at the regional desks are not actual DoS employees. Their roots are in king making and regime change.

#4 #2 As teenager I was horrified to read, in "Connecticut Yankee", that Mark Twain justifies French Terror. Nowadays, having lived under the heel of the new aristocracy, I agree with Twain.
