Quote from: Fox "Turkey" Mulder on August 05, 2016, 10:35:51 AMI'd still believe the theory that he's just a figurehead for his family. You don't go from being a mild-mannered, westernized optometrist to a tyrant overnight. He was next in line, so he had to do it. Still complicit, but I don't he's the boogeyman he's made out to be.There's nothing mild mannered about Assad. He had been ordering the abduction and torture of Syrian civilians for a long time, as well as many other atrocities.

Living and studying in the West for a period of time doesnt make you Westernised, supporting Western ideals does.

The point is that he may very well just be a puppet or figurehead for his tyranical family because he was next in line.Did the family explicitly set up a monarchy?It seems like a dictator's position wouldn't be subject to things like line of succession.

Bluepilled Kikes in this bread
Both sides are fucked up. It's hard to stand against Assad in the US when this country is literally funding the rebels who rip out the hearts of their dead enemies and eat them.
