This is extremely reductive, the asaad regime ( current and previous ) had to go, they've caused immense pain to syrians since the 80s.. The idea that this is some consorted effort by global hegemony to topple them ignores the effort of the rebels themselves, and how much the war in ukraine have costed russia..

> XYZ just had to go

Yes, this worked out so well in the past. You people will definitely never learn. I honestly dread the times when your diplomats turn their gazes on my country.

Have the leaders of your country recently used chemical weapons on women and children, like Assad had? If not you're probably safe.

All of started with protests from Syrian people back in 2011. Assad responded with murder. This then all escalated in the civil war.

There isn't some sort of foreign forced regime change going on here.

Syria became a proxy flexing ground for Russia. We are about to enter negotiations on a major war. We have all kinds of money and rockets moving around the world in deliberate subversive ways.
