Syrian civil war

Could’ve ended years ago if it wasn’t for outside powers sticking their nose in other people business 🤦🏽‍♂️ More on reddit.com

I'm not a fan of US intervention in any country. Every time the US intervenes in a country, it ends up making things worse. Its imperialist policies create enemies everywhere it goes, and we end up footing the bill. US and British interventions in Iran led to the Islamic Revolution in the 70s, and interventions in Afghanistan created the Taliban; both of which spread to Syria, and then to fight them, you funded and supported the SDF, and now we're stuck fighting them all. I wish America would just stop dragging the planet to hell and F off to be honest. More on reddit.com

My friend, it will be very difficult to summarize the whole conflict and the truth is very muddled with lies. However, I will try to explain the main points of the conflict and how it started as unbiased as I can be. First things first, Hafez Al-Assad assumed power in 1971 after serving two years as a prime minister. He ruled the country as a police state and massacred any opposition, some of which were Islamist and some secular, so don’t listen to anyone that says he was fighting “terrorism.” But to play the devil's advocate, he did some good things like the correction movement in which he built the Tabqa dam that helped increase the arable land around the Euphrates and provided electricity for a big population. He also built a couple of hospitals in the main cities and a lot more prisons too so he could imprison all his opposition. At the same time, he was waging a war on Israel and used the Palestinian case as a propaganda tool to brainwash the bootlickers and label any opposition as Zionists/traitors even though a lot of the opposition at the time actually cared about the Palestinian case way more than him. Just to clarify so I don’t get banned, I’m pro-Palestine but I’m also a realist that can admit that we weren’t in any position to take that kind of military action at the time and we would have actually helped the case more if we played the political game better and used deception and not showed our cards like the Zionist occupation does. He also at some point did a Saddam Hussein move and invaded a neighboring country to show that he had a big dick and his bootlickers and army of psychopaths did a lot of damage and raped and pillaged like ISIS did, which started the grudge a lot of Lebanese hold against us. Anyway, Bashar Al-Assad, his oldest living son, of course, inherited the country like it was their own and the bootlickers in our version of the congress actually changed the constitution so he could jump on daddy's seat and play warlord too. Like father like son, Bashar ruled the country as a police state and there wasn’t any room for opposition, but he also did some good things like he modernized a lot of the infrastructure and opened the trade routes with neighboring countries which allowed for some economic growth. But of course, since the country was a police state ran by nepotism, only his bootlickers and extended family benefited the most and I can’t lie, there was some improvement in the middle class because of it, but a lot of people were still left behind and most of these people were from areas that opposed his father's rule. And he also used the Palestinian case as a propaganda tool, making the average person think that we actually had a leader that cared about our brothers and sisters, which in fact was all a show and nothing but lies. Before we move on to 2011, I would like to mention that most of the opposition were not better though and were Islamist trying to force their rule on minorities which only served the Assad family to brainwash the minorities into thinking they were protectors and that they would get massacred without them, which is a belief a lot of minorities still hold. And I have to mention that Hafez also brutalized the Kurds like his daddy Saddam because they were thinking of separation, but instead of opening a conversation and uniting with the biggest minority in the country, he did a Saddam move which pushed the Kurds further into the idea that they needed to separate to protect themselves. Moving on into 2011, after the Arab Spring that tried to get rid of the rule of a lot of tyrants in our world, some of the kids from these areas I mentioned that were left behind wrote some graffiti demanding the removal of the Assad regime, which the psychopath Assad bootlickers didn’t like and tortured these poor kids that had a dream until they died. Then the opposition grew some balls and went into the streets with numbers demanding the removal of the regime. The protests started as peaceful and unarmed, which Bashar, like his daddy, responded to by unleashing his psychopaths on our brothers and sisters to suppress them. This didn’t work and made more people join the movement. At this time people were killed, and not in small numbers but under 100. And Bashar the stupid, instead of opening a conversation and actually putting his psychopaths into his massive prisons for killing Syrians asking for more freedom and equality, doubled down and used the Zionist/traitors label and killed even more people, which in turn spilled more blood and escalated the situation because the opposition, rightfully so, started to carry guns to protect themselves from the tyrant. Now the truth is also the opposition, whether my rebel brothers and sisters admit it or not, were infiltrated by Islamists and extremists like the Brotherhood and other factions hungry to take over like what happened in Egypt, which scared the fuck out of minorities and made them worship daddy Bashar even more and start counter-protests and send their kids and young people to what in their mind was to protect their way of life but only started a civil war and divided the country more. Bashar, of course, fucking loved it, seeing his picture and shit, which grew his little ego more and he started to believe his own lies which turned him into an actual warlord like he is now. And both sides made a huge mistake by letting foreign powers get involved: Bashar went to Russia and Iran, and the opposition went to Turkey and NATO. And the foreign powers loved it, they got to get involved and steal our resources and help turn the country into the hell it is now with a “good excuse.” Basically, and I hate to say it, it was us, the Syrian people, who did this to ourselves whether we like it or not. Instead of uniting and opening a conversation to go against the tyrants and traitors, we turned on each other and killed each other believing the lies of the Assad regime and the Islamists. But there’s much more nuance and factors that played into it that I really can’t fit nor remember which I recommend researching, As I try to be as unbiased as possible, I welcome all corrections and opinions that are civil from my brothers and sisters.
