If Syrians voted, would they reelect president Assad? Would they vote for the new military rulers?
Syrians elected Assad by a wide margin recently - would they do it again, only to be told 'no' by the militia?

@Burnley123 you would understand that the vote wasn't really popular, and yet war Will be. Gahead, y'all in the West - show us our path to the future.

Impossible to know. Any country that has been subject to regime change only get to have stage managed elections.
They can vote as long as they vote the way the bigger players want them to. Look at Egypt. They now have a US backed military dictatorship because they "voted wrong" when it was actually left up to Egyptians to vote for their leader.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow odd how polling them does not occur to the West.

@Roundandroundwego The west doesn't care what the people of Syria actually want.

It's tricky. After the monumental catastrophe that was Iraq, post Saddam, many Iraqi people admitted they preferred life under the insane dictator. It's still very much in the balance.

Assad was a bloody dictator, but I worry that the opposition won't be much better. Especially with the Turkish interference. Already Erdoğan wants to carve up parts of Syria. I worry for the Syrian Christian population.
The only group that has my support is Rojava.

@Jokersswild so you deny that Assad killed his own people and tortured and imprisoned them?
@basilfawlty89 Did the U.S. imprison the January 6th insurrectionists? Assad imprisoned rebels, many of whom were terrorists or coordinating with groups like HTS, which is essentially Al-Qaeda in Syria. While I don’t know the full extent of the torture, what I do know is that much of what has been said is simply propaganda. Like the claim that Assad used "gasses" on his own people. That has been disproven; it was actually the rebels who used the chemical weapons. The entire plan to oust Assad was orchestrated by the U.S. and Israel, who began planning it in 1996. They said the same thing about Saddam Hussein, claiming that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. In this case, the U.S. and Netanyahu paid proxies to overthrow the Syrian government, many of them weren’t even Syrian citizens. Some of these rebels came from far off places in Europe and China.

@Jokersswild okay. Let me clarify a few points. I'm not a fan of Assad, nor am I a fan of the Syrian Rebels. I do not support Salafi Jihadism. The group I stand the most are the Christians of Syria. I do not trust Israel nor Turkey.
I support the SDF which is compromised of Kurds, Armenians, Assyrians in the majority.
