    This is ridiculous. I’m no expert on Syria that shit is bananas complicated.

    But a guy aspiring to get closer to gulf states along with Israel, France, the US and Turkey is not a good guy. He’s also literally al qaeda.

    Assad ain’t good. But weapons and support flowed through Syria to hezbollah and the Palestinian resistance during his government. Objectively a good thing.

      Thanks for pointing out the realpolitik of Assad’s Syria vs CIA/ISIS-controlled Syria re: the axis of resistance.

        Not an expert, that civil war has way too much going on. Acting like Jolani is the good guy is… I really can’t think of a worse set of characteristics.
