^^^Um, Assad is a fucking
Democratically Elected president with 80% approval rating of his citizens (infinitely higher than our own current president I might add). There is no "regime" in Syria. Assad is LESS a "regime" than Trump who did NOT win the popular vote and therefore could be argued he is under our laws
legallypresident, but not certainly not a "democratically" elected one.
No, Assad and Russia are fighting
AMERICAN trained, backed and funded ISIS terrorists. That's why Assad has always, and continues to have the rating approval he does. His elections have not been rigged. His opponents have not been jailed. The women in his country can vote. And the people of Syria went through great lengths, through war and famine, literally crawling over the rubble of their homes and walking for hours/days to find a polling station to vote for him. He is a secular and contemporary leader in a seething morass of muslim Daesh extremism. If Assad and Putin are not successful, Syria will be a muslim state and another war-torn third world member of the caliphate, and Putin will not get his pipelines. Saudi Arabia will tho. He is not there for altruism's sake. Past American leadership/SAUDIS do not want Putin to have the pipelines, just one of the many causes of this war, but a major one.
Putin is a murderer and a plutocrat. But our CIA overthrows democratically elected officials and slaughters innocents before most fat Americans have taken their first donut of the morning. Please. Hawaii is only a state because we overthrew and overtook the existing happy government there. Bay of Pigs, Operation Mongoose, Grenada, Haiti, Holy Fucking Nicaragua where we are responsible for the deaths and disappearance of thousands and thousands of people. I could go on, but I'm not sure any one give a fuck.
Anyone trying to shore up American moral superiority over Putin is either willfully ignorant, or deeply intellectually dishonest. Go back to sleep guys. Put on American Pickers, put that donut in your face, pull back that Laz-E-Boy turn on CNN and/or FOX and let them do the thinking for you. It's pretty clear watching you Lefties and Righties dogfight over bleached bones here on this thread y'alls brains have evacuated through your nether fundament.
RIP Prophet George
