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.

@basilfawlty89 "Bloody dictator" - definition: A term used by the U.S. military and State Department to describe a leader whose policies are considered hostile to U.S. interests, with the implication that such a leader should be removed from power, either through political processes like voting or by means of rebellion, in order to further U.S. objectives.

@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.
