    It’s a double edged sword. Assad gone is a good thing, however it remains to be seen that it’s a good thing for the people of Syria, only time will tell. But you can’t cling onto a shitty dictator on the off chance that things might be worse. The people of Syria certainly seem to be happy about it.

    From the Tankie perspective, they couldn’t give a flying fuck about the people of Syria, only what it means for the “unity” of anti-US aligned countries such as Iran & Russia.

      Why?

      however it remains to be seen that it’s a good thing for the people of Syria,

      Assad being gone would only be a good thing, if it was good for the people of Syria.

      only what it means for the “unity” of anti-US aligned countries such as Iran & Russia.

      Yeah, the weakening of the axis of resistance is probably a bad thing for the future of the middle east.

        Why?

        You’re asking why a dictator who uses chemical weapons on people being removed is a good thing?

        Strawman

        I was basing it on threads I saw on Lemmygrad and Hexbear. Their only concern is about the impact is has on Russia, Iran & China.
