Assad is one of the greatest leaders alive today, better than what we have in America currently. These wars for 'Jewish Supremacy' in the Middle East must stop!

[@KristopherWilliams_tahmson]

assad went into his presidency with actions towards more modernized society. he opened public political discussion, began to disassemble the economic hold the elite had over key markets ... he lived in Europe working as a doctor, and has a great respect for Western societies. of course this war has halted his governments work, but the statement of the 99 and the statement of the 1000 are publications by the people of syria, that were only possible due to bashar slowly opening debate on the state of the nation. obviously there is a lot of work to do, but I do believe that bashar al asad has the intellect, will and government to fulfill at least partially, what reforms the people want.

It’s called a “facade” like how on the surface it appears Obama is good but you cannot deny the war crimes. Same with Putin and Assad. They are maniacs.

[@ivaniliev2272]

Because it is propaganda and this is how it works. It manipulate emotions. I am not saying that western countries are innocent, but in reality quality of life in Europe, US, Japan etc is not even comparable with Syria, Russia, Iran etc. And the last one while enemies of US and blaming it for whatever, they still threat their own people as s*it, something that cannot be blamed on another country .

[@alexabihabib8215]

@@ebrahimshaheen2774 @hema sh problem is those chemical attacks were fake. I have family in Syria, who didn't leave their homeland. Chemical attacks, even if Syria wanted to use them, always seem to appear in the media when Assad is winning. Chemical weapons are a last resort, not a weapon you use lightly. Read some proper news by Robert Fisk and you'll see all the inconsistencies in the American made-up narrative. There is a lot you can criticize Bashar on, and even more so his father, but the story of chemical weapons is nothing but a story

[@ManPursueExcellence]

Interesting, as I listened to this, Brian (the reporter), sounded like a child or a naive person compared to Assad. Assad, sounded not only sounded reasonable but also, a man of principle which is rare these days, at least rare in America especially as it pertains to adult men. The reporter spends more energy trying to bait Assad in questioning or impose guilty feelings at an attempt to rattle Assad or emotionally control him. This reporter would use any slip up to justify any action we may take in opposition to Assad. Brian and the network he's representing has no genuine interest to learn from Assad's side or comprehend the bigger picture as it relates to terrorism or global stability. It is quite clear that the interest is to defeat Assad ideologically. Assad is quite patient.
