DogFox123 1,379 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Quick question to BGD, why does Assad still enjoy public support in Syria despite these atrocities he commits?????He has support among the Alawites because they're his ethnic group and he hasn't been bombing the f**k out of them for the last 5 years. You really think he has support of the majority of the citizens of Syria? Well if that's the case he won't need propping up by Russia and the West will he? I assume he'll be holding free and fair elections any day now to prove how popular he is among the population Who are the people he's bombing then???? Don't tell me, innocent civilians....

Three quarters of the population of Aleppo have been killed or displaced by bombing since 2012, were they all armed militants? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assume he'll be holding free and fair elections any day now to prove how popular he is among the population Suppose a respectable opinion poll found that Bashar al-Assad has more support than the Western-backed opposition.

OK then.A bit like ISIS, they are also bombing innocent civilians, difference is they are purposely targeting innocent civilians. And when some of these innocent civilians are possibly yours or my own family then it is a worrying problem. Edited October 13, 2016 by DogFox123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogFox123 1,379 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) The narrative you're pushing in this thread is incredibly contradictory, first he's a strongman dictator keeping hold of power by cracking down on the population with an iron fist and then he's a beloved elected leader with the support of huge swathes of the population, which is it?The western world likes to call him a dictator don't they? One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.... Edited October 13, 2016 by DogFox123 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ragumup Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Why did the civil war start and why is it continuing? Goes back to the Sunnis vs Shia divide. Assad is Shia and most of syrian population the Sunni. Edited October 13, 2016 by ragumup Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who do you think has killed more of the Syrian population, Assad and Russia or ISIS? I'd say the West wouldn't you? Russian bombing is wiping out ISIS, Western bombing strengthens them.... It was all going nicely to plan for the Yanks until Putin stepped in.... If you want a Europe filled with refugees (I know this gives you a boner) and terrorist attacks then I can see why you support western actions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's debatable unless you group all the rebels in as ISIS. I didn't ask who's bombing supports ISIS the most anyway, I asked who's killed the most civilians. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So leveling cities and wiping out civilian populations is perfectly fine as long as whoever is doing it has a "legitimate right" to be in the country, righto. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it only Assad and the Russians killing innocent civilians????? The Americans are not quite so pinpoint accurate as you might think...
