Russia intervened on the invitation of the legal Syrian government. The USA was not requested to get involved.
The brutal Assad dictatorship is Russia's pawn in the region, so of course it issued an 'invitation'. So what? Either condemn all imperialist and neo-imperialist interventions in the region, or none, and at least be consistent.
Is he brutal? Who says so? Where is the evidence? The Syrian people a while back, voted him and his government back into power ........... does that not tell you something?
70% of Syrian territory is now in Government hands and about 80% of the population, including all the displaced Syrians are now under the protection of the Syrian Army. In Alleppo it has been the Russians that have been providing all the aid and medical facilities ....... where was the UN? The US supported terrorists are losing the battle and the war!
The terrorists have been driven into an enclave in Idlib and, day by day, the rebel held areas are shrinking. Now try turning on your brain ....... QUI BONO? Who benefitted from this US intervention, in fact an act of war? Certainly not Assad!
The 2013 Ghouta incident was shown after all the evidence was considered, more likely to have been instigated and carried out by rebel (Terrorist) factions than Assad. Assad had nothing to gain, like now ......... the rebels had everything to gain by getting the dumb-assed west to take on Assad and save them the trouble. Thanks to Russian intervention that trick failed and the problem was solved without any destruction or civilian deaths!
But, guess what .......... the west has fallen for the same trick again!!!!
