But now the FSA is mostly crushed after 7 years of assad using weapons of mass destruction. Now the most powerful rebels are alquada rebels. So assad is responsible for the war and he is also responsible for crushing the syrian revolutionist rebels. And he is responsible for most of the casualties killed in the war because he dops missile bombs and barrel bombs on civilians populated areas and on your homes.

+teako north The British and the french have ignited lots of conflicts in the middle eastern areas aswell as many parts of Africa through very advanced but simple psychology. Pay attention to what is said 2:11 through the presentation, when they established the borders by mixing different religions and ideologies within the same areas. Nice recipy for conflict you think not?

[@trollmaster898]

+teako north I am confused by the bullshit that "the guardian" comes up with. Actually, the colonialist powers divided the middle east after WW2. France controlled Syria. Which is probably why it belongs to the nations that are the more fucked up ones. And no. Al Assad isn't even close to the most brutal force in Syria. Among the demonstrators, were also an offshoot from the Muslim Brotherhood - Al Nusra, a faction that has since pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda. So no, the demonstrations weren't that peaceful. It is unclear who fired the first shots. There are many sources that state the government forces did, others point the finger to Al Nusra. Either way, Al Assad's government chose to generalize among the rebels and saw no difference between them. Al Nusra masked its identity openly, as a democratic rebel group and was financed by the lovely and democracy loving CIA, together with other factions. The escalation of violence last year, in neighboring Iraq led to ISIS seizing large parts of Syria and the Syrian civil war became more complicated. There was division amongst the rebels so they joined forces under one flag: the FSA (Free Syrian Army), but where each faction have their own motives, objectives and alliances. Al Nusra, as a typical Islamist terrorist organization declared war on YPG (the Kurdistan based rebel faction that fights for a secular democracy) and ISIS (too similar to Al Nusra for both to coexist). They are also at war with the Syrian government, Hezbollah, Iran and Russia since a few months ISIS is a terrorist organization based on national socialistic and Islamist ideals adopted for guerrilla tactics. They are at war with everyone. They were primarily funded from Saudi Arabia before they received the PR they have today. FSA (except Al Nusra) are at war with Al Assad, ISIS, Hezbollah, Iran and Russia. You will find everything from secular rebels, fighting for freedom and democracy, to hardcore Islamist terrorists. YPG are at war with ISIS and Al Nusra. Not a rebel faction, they are a self protection militia, killing Islamist terrorists. The regime, Hezbollah, Iran and Russia are at war with the FSA and ISIS. Syria would have collapsed without Russia's intervention. Barrel bombs are dropped on enemy positions. Killing civilians in large amounts. CIA - fucking shit up, everywhere they go. The closest we get of the horsemen of the apocalypse in reality. Funded Al Nusra and other factions of the FSA in the beginning of the conflict. The anti- ISIS coalition - a coalition with different agendas. USA bombs ISIS and Al Nusra (which they used to fund). Saudi Arabia funded ISIS and are now supporting their defeat, still funding Al Nusra. Turkey are bombing the YPG. Out of over 70 coalition members, only 11 are bombing something. Out of these, the targets can vary a lot. It's a mess. And as always, we, the west are on the wrong side. Instead of funding the only group that have a similar ideology to us (YPG), we funded the FSA, which includes allies of Al Qaeda. As of now, the best for Syria would probably be to let Al Assad seize power again.
