I know people love to turn him into a meme, but it's pretty tone-deaf.

    I really hope the post is for us to dunk on this meme

    Assad prevailing in the syria conflict over any other even remotely realistic alternative (and the ones that were and are founded by the westagainst him), overcoming US imperialist attacks and underming and stabilizing his government represents a significant reduction in death, pain ,hunger and suffering for 10+ million syrians and for the surrounding ereas as well. I dont know how anyone with a pair of fucking eyes cant see that in the whole situation. It doesnt matter what you personaly think about Assad. Any leftist would be absolutely right to support him

    Yeah its harm reduction. An actual and significant one for that country. The point isnt to NEVER support any harm reduction. Otherwise you yankee fuckers shouldnt have supported Bernie either. (Who btw has voted for and supported worse war crimes than Assad has ever committed ,even accused of committing,so I didnt see y'all thinking it twice back then). And even that isnt comparable to the harm reduction even someone like Assad is against the great Satan .Its absolutrely moronic to compare and equate that struggle and choice of support to fucking hillary clinton in the US elections.

    Again im Greek. I literally have syrians displaced by the destruction of Syria brought by the empire living in my neighbourhood. I have met and talked with dozens of syrians doing work with refugees. Maybe you wanna ask them a question about this?

    jfc posts like these really anger me even tho they shouldnt. How detatched from the conflict and armchaired you must be to make memes like this

    And what War Crimes especially. The chemichal attacks that have been the no 1 talking point for years and have been utterly debunked? Im sure there are legit ones, i know there are. But at least after that coming out maybe people should think twice about yelling about "Assads war crimes"

    Hope you get a bit of shame and delete this

      Also nowdays being against Assad means nothing now that the Civil war is basically over with the current map looking like this the best case scenario now is if the Kurds make a Deal with Assad to gain autonomy over the land they have and unite against the Turks and the islamists.

      But the USA keep pushing Independence for the Kurds only to prolong the conflict for no reason except for military contracts and Syrian oil.

      Nice, detailed response.

      It's the dunk tank, after all.
