IDK, while it sounds nice, seems unlikely that the Syrian loyalist army or Assad would fall for such a peaceful little power play. IMO.
I would also like to point out, when I said 'take him out' I did not mean to the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. I stand by what I said.
Of course I do not want to see casualties. Those poor Syrian people have been put through enough. Having said that, I do not want to see inaction. The whole regime needs to be changed. Assad's family are in key pivotal government roles.
Russia is not supporting this intervention. Clearly, there is higher political workings at play. You cannot give this Assad carte blanche to murder people.
His actions almost seem to be provoking the US. So he murders a bunch of innocent people to pick a fight with the US, and then worse, deny it. It's all so evil.
100 000+ people have been murdered throughout this conflict. Those peoples lives matter. If that was you HoTD or your family, I would be vocal too and call for justice. He needs to be made accountable.
