    Assad gone is a good thing

    Why?

    however it remains to be seen that it’s a good thing for the people of Syria,

    Assad being gone would only be a good thing, if it was good for the people of Syria.

    From the Tankie perspective, they couldn’t give a flying fuck about the people of Syria

    Strawman

    only what it means for the “unity” of anti-US aligned countries such as Iran & Russia.

    Yeah, the weakening of the axis of resistance is probably a bad thing for the future of the middle east.

      Why?

      You’re asking why a dictator who uses chemical weapons on people being removed is a good thing?

      I was basing it on threads I saw on Lemmygrad and Hexbear. Their only concern is about the impact is has on Russia, Iran & China.

        Yes. How will this lead to a better outcome for Syria? I don’t really see anyway how it can.

        I’m asking how is it a good thing when the replacement is ISIS. The brave mujaheddins of Afghanistan all over again.
