Assad is not even a brutal dictator. He's from a minority, the Alawites, and created a coalition with other minorities (Christians, Yazidis) and they are all being attacked since 2011 by the Muslim brotherhood that was propped up in the Arab spring by the Obama administration + the UK, Israel and the Saudis. He's defended all these Yazidis, Christians and others against ISIS that sometimes succeeded in chopping their heads off. Biden just confirmed with those strikes that he still supports ISIS.

The irony?

There is a dictator that took complete control of his entire country a decade back, even castrating the legislature and turning it into a club of yes-men through his power grab of their political infrastructure. He then made these multiple positions life terms, making it impossible to remove him through legal means. They supposedly have a "republic," but he declared it was and every fulcrum of justice in the whole country now answers to him directly. While the country has had a pretty dark past with some minority populations, he has expanded it to full blown genocide of multiple groups. More worryingly, he's now actively fomenting hostilities with his neighbors in a clear sign of wars of aggression soon to come.

We're now celebrating our closer ties with this dictator.

You don't know much about the Assad family, do you? (fyi: Assad and Hillary used to be on quite close and amiable terms; until each wanted something the other didn't, but before that...!). Of course, this would make sense: the Assads have strong connections to the Arab Socialist Party...something Hillary couldn't help but like.

Assad has also been an Iranian proxy for quite some time (in this he has been completely idiotic -- his father was a vicious bastard, but knew better than to let his country become another's puppet). The mullahs have been quite clever in using socialists to further their agenda one might say.

Yeah, so...are you a Syrian who supports Assad?

If that's the case, then could you perhaps be just a wee bit biased?

As for the data: what did I cherry pick? You brought up the accusation, prove it (other than "I lived there"....an antifa member could make the same claim "I live in America, so I know").

About socialist name calling... This is extremely dumb, like when Trump was called a socialist for putting tariffs on China and not trusting the free market or an isolationist and a nazi for wanting strong borders. On Iran support: you are idiotic if you think he could have survived without Russia and Iran. The maniacs today are those that do these character assassinations ("Assad used chemical weapons!"), THAT is the big lie. Some nazi propaganda stuff. The BBC has even shown a phony video when alleged burned victims were touching walls and floors (in reality burns always make you avoid contact at all cost). You must really be sick in the head to make false claims of chemical attacks against any leader in the world. It's insane and uncivilized. And arming "Syrian rebels" + radicalizing them through social media is a direct call for violence against civilians living there (the Arab Spring was operated by our intel agencies with propaganda sent on their smartphones in their language to create mass anger against a targeted leader but it quickly went out of control).

All this anger and weaponization of Sunni muslims against Assad (calling Assad an Infidel because he's an Alawite) CREATED ISIS, the WORST TERROR GROUP THAT EVER EXISTED IN TERMS OF TERROR IMAGERY AND IMMEDIATE REACH. Ask a Yazidi mother that ate parts of her own son or what it feels to be asked to rape your own mother to save her life but they kill her anyway.

They started to recruit Europeans, Americans, Canadians (also on social media) and later attacked here.

You are the definition of what's wrong in the world. You believe fake narratives, in supporting them you contribute to start terrorist groups (aaah the beauty of democratic Syrian rebels) and then blame others when you are ashamed of your creation. Assad did nothing wrong. The Arab spring was planned in the UK. I hope those who started it will be put on trial for their war crimes.

Ok, so if I'm so wrong about the Assad family's connections with the Baathists, please show some evidence.

You have no argument. Assad is the most reasonable, honest leader in the region right now who is trying to protect Syrian people from a Muslim brotherhood manufactured insurgency in five countries (coordinated on social media). His government was trying to help the people with legitimate issues when radical Islamists backed by Obama (MB) inflamed small protests, trying to turn them into a war against Assad. He was smeared by our intel agencies for simply pushing back and killing the terrorists that were taking the population hostage and trying to destabilize the whole country (they succeeded in part but the majority of the population has always kept supporting Assad). That's your phony civil war. Foreigners infiltrating protests, online propaganda and radical character assassination campaigns produced by the same corrupt intel agencies that wanted to do to Assad what they did to Kaddafi. His family banned chemical weapons from the Syrian army a long time ago, and the chlorine plants were under U.S. controlled territory when the phony accusations and the evidence free video came up in 2018. The video shows adult men rinsing children irritated eyes and it was enough for Macron to claim that it was a chemical attack. Few days later, Macron, Trump, and Theresa May launched strikes on Syria based on that unverified and ridiculous video. The other side are Al-Qaida and ISIS mixing up in the population with the west backing that up. Trump was right again. Time for CIA/MI6 to assume their creation, the evil liars.
