  1. They both learned at Putin's knee.

  2.  @maxsmart645  The US had high hope for this Assad, as he was educated in the west. The US didn't start the Syrian war, or unleash ISIL on Assad. Assad was viewed as weak by other alawites, because of his western ways, so he doubled down on the cruelty and despotism. When there was a famine, due to drought in the US, Russia and middle east, he could have fed his people. He didn't, and as they starved, they protested. His response, kill the people, both Sunni and Kurd, drive out the Sunni majority, and bring in ISIL and Iranian backed militias.

  3. The Kurds we betrayed were in Syria.

  4. So Biden has remained in the presidency election after election? And Biden's father was president before him? If not, it sounds nothing like Biden's election.

  5. Iran is aiding Assad. He is bringing in Shiite militia groups with Iran's backing.

  6. Except, Assad seemed to welcome ISIL. Hopefully a Sunni coalition, with the Kurds, will fill the vacuum. I don't hold much hope, but that would be the best result.

  7.  @hopeneverdies3649  This is why only a secret ballot is fair, because it prevents coercion.

  9. Kind of not.

  10. Worse than Belarus, the Sunni majority has been driven from their country, and Shiites brought in to replace them (courtesy of Iran).

  11. If we'd had a sham election, Trump would still be in power.

  12.  @hopeneverdies3649  Your beloved dictator was killing his own people with chemical weapons. That is the only reason the US intervened. Russia had its own reasons, probably the constant need for a warm water port.

  13. That Lebanese "accident" was due to improper storage of bombs by Hezbollah, aided by Iran. A lot of the tragedy in Syria comes from Iranian backed militia groups.

  14. No, it's what Trump wanted, not what happened.

  15.  Ggjj Ghj  Trump likes some dictators, like Kim, Putin and Erdogan, but he never cozied up to Assad.

  16.  @crabpeople2137  This had nothing to do with the Arab Spring. The whole mess started when a world wide drought caused starvation, and when the Syrian people protested, begging for bread, Assad killed them.

  17.  @hopeneverdies3649  No, Damascus is untouched because that is where Assad lives. Russia just does what Assad wants, and the US has done very little bombing, and what the US did was directed by our Kurdish allies. The destruction is due to Assad, and he's not gong to bomb his home.

  18.  @hopeneverdies3649  I know what you're trying to say, but "intelligent" means smart, clever. What you want is: voting in front of intelligence agents, without privacy, prevents a free choice, definitely not a free and fair election. btw Good luck freeing your country from the dictator.
