There is no real alternative to the Assad government. What does a post Assad Syria look like to you? It's weird that the Assad family rules for years and they were good enough for Angelina Jolie to pal around with. Fact is, civil wars are brutal. The French revolution made this one look pretty tame in many ways. They chopped off 40K+ heads. So many they had to automate it.
In this case, it's made even worse by innumerable outside interests being involved, ensuring maximum suffering. The U.S. in reality doesn't care about that, though. That's merely the excuse used to push our interests in the ongoing war over resources, namely who's pipeline is going to feed Europe.
Do you consider Russian interests in your narrative?
