Assad has killed hundreds of thousands in Syria and forced millions out of his destroyed country. Now that his fellow war criminal Putin came and propped him up with more horrific crimes, Assad is still in power, but he does not yet control the portions of Syria liberated from the IS by the Kurds and native Syrians who are from or near the territories which the IS controlled. The Kurds may continue the rebellion against Assad if he comes in and bombs and destroys them as he has the rest of his country. If and when this happens, what would the USA do to support these groups, whom they supported in their fight against the IS?
Boomers need to understand that Assad is Syria's legitimate government. Syria is a sovereign state and is not bound by western laws. Boomers have to accept that the Syrian government is the legitimate authority within Syria's sovereign boundaries.
Should he be overthrown as was Satan Hussein in Iraq, nobody will need a horoscope to predict his fate. Necktie party if he survives. Genocide is good for a hanging.
