I have the second most upvoted comment on that post: https://mander.xyz/comment/19100228
He's literally cozying up to Israel and the US and ignoring their occupation of/attacks on his lands, which ramped up when he overthrew the previous regime, weakening the country in the midst of extreme Zionist aggression.
I'd also love to know how he's "protecting ethnic minorities" by launching raids against them and threatening to invade them to seize their towns.
My apologies. I tried to control-F and apparently that doesn't work on usernames.
In any case, my take is essentially just, "Hands off Syria." I didn't think we should arm him, I don't think we should sanction him, etc. I don't really think that's a shit take, but it's certainly drawn some criticism over the years.
