He personally oversaw the beheading of women and children.

This is Zionist propaganda, his main benefactors.

    I'm not saying he is a good person. I am saying that the current Syrian government with him as leader does not appear extremist. HTS made and then abolished a religious police force well before toppling Assad. Allowing education of women and worship of other faiths in a state that is over 90% Muslim is far less extreme than other Muslim countries in the region.

    Past actions would have him as an extremist, terrorist, and war criminal, current actions show him as a relative moderate. That doesn't mean forgiveness but when judging Syria via him you should maybe look more at the present than the past.

    Sure a lot of western countries supported the overthrow of Assad, would need some support for the zionist sentiment though. How does having a Muslim country out of civil war and reunified help zionists?

    Yeah, because Assad banned women from education?????🤔

    Whatever keeps the oil flowing to the richest nations in the world and maintains the occupation, right. Aid the Jihadists, kill the Jihadists, aid the Jihadists, and on and on and on. We can forget and remember like a switch.

    Israel invaded and took some of their territory.

    Are you mad because Assad was Russia's boy and everything that hurts Russia must be because of Israel/the West?

    Usually there's some kind of resistance to an "invasion". The Jihadist have never once attacked Israel in the entire decade+ long civil war.🤔

    This is about oil, pipelines and extending the occupation from the start. That's all the "global war on terrorism" has been about from the start.

    But, yeah Russia. Sure. Okay. 🤤👍

    Isn't Russia the one championing the "global war on terrorism/islamism" themselves right now?

    I honestly don't really care about oil/pipelines/whatever as long as the end result is better for the working class, which in this case, it is.

    But sure, cover your eyes and ears and bury your head in the sand.

    Maybe you're thinking of how Russia is helping the Sahel free itself from centuries of European colonialism.

    Say what you want about them, they're better than countries like France. I'd choose BRICS over CFA franc any day of the week.

    Every accusation is a confession. 🙄
