Assad is the last semi-secular leader in the middle east.
The last one who even attempts to protect Christians, Jews, and other non-muslims in his nation..
Yes, Assad is Shia, but as a member of the Alawite sect he is hated by the iranian mullahs almost as much as the Sunni. He is as much, maybe more, a buffer to the Iranian Mullah’s expansion as he is a conduit to him.
And if he is taken out, the void will be filled by the victor of the fight between those same Iranian Mullahs, ISIS, Al Qaeda groups or run of the mill Muslim Brotherhood Jihadis. Either way, Syria will become yet another Jihadi nation, exporting terror worldwide
You really want to go to war with Russia? Because if we do try to bomb Assad, we have to either slip past or take out Russian military to do it.
“Assad is the last semi-secular leader in the middle east.”
If the Negro from Nairobi and Madame Clintesterone are against him, that’s enough for me: we should be supporting him.
