Why do you support terrorists, /int/?
>>52388638
I'm pretty sure that the majority of /int/ supports Assad over the FSA and ISIS.
I posted similar pics yesterday. Iraq's Christian community was also destroyed by America. This 'middle east is only muslims' meme needs to be ended by western media
>>52388847
Not true.

Well maybe you don't, my mutilated friend.

most of int supports assad you twat
I don't support Assad, but I think co-operating with him to take down isis and having good terms for transition is what is needed. He's been bombing some hospitals because of this lack of cooperation.

I think most people on here realise the tragic reality of much of the middle east; that dictators are often the only way to ensure religious divisions don't spill out into outright, horrific civil war. It may not be democratic, it might be oppressive, but at least the population remains alive and the country keeps plodding along.
>>52389437
perhaps, but dictatorship is meant to be a transitional period. we have never left that region to solve it's problems on it's own, and I believe that is key for them to recover. during 1950s-1970s they were on a path to secular and democratic governments but then we came barging in
>>52389536
Yeah we probably fucked up a few decades ago, i'm not expert in that area so i won't give an ill informed opinion. It's pretty clear that the western efforts to install democracy in Iraq, Afganistan, and perhaps Libya too, have been a failure.

hahaha we are samefags
The Middle East could have been a paradise of secular, democratic countries.
Too bad the US had to fuck it all over.
The US is responsible for every single bad thing that happened since WWII and there is no way to argue about that.
It is a fact and the truth.
The US fucked the whole world over.

Interview with President Bashar al-Assad

>Santa visits children of martyrs and wounded in Homs, Syria.
And you fuckers think Assad is the bad guy.
>don't be Americas cuck = terrorist dictator
Kill yourselves Americans.
>>52390824
he really looks like a good man
>>52390992
I know, I was mad as fuck after watching this interview
>>52388638
>rt
opinion discarded
>>52390992
He is a good man, he's literally the only reason why christians in syria haven't been slaughtered en masse by islamist retards
>>52391104
>the cuck
Yea Assad is hugely unlucky that he went ironfist on the protests so hard that a lot of his own army rebelled.
He got caught up in the whole "Arab spring" shit and meme'd to death with this idea that Syrians want a democratic government which isn't true at all
Shit is really tough for him, if he gives in then Syria just falls down the failed state hole like Libya and he'll be a wanted man living underground for the rest of his life.
>>52391134
>incredibly biased news source
>"c-cuck"
even faux news or pmsnbc are better than the government mouthpiece of RT
>>52391191
ok
>DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Syrian President Bashar al Assad attended Christmas choir preparations in an ancient church close to a frontline area in the capital Damascus where his army is engaged in heavy fighting with rebels, state media said on Saturday.

>>52390021
>the pictures are photoshopped!
Assad looks like the dad I always wanted
>shia muslim protecting christians.
of course they want to get rid of him. that's too much stability in that region
>>52391657
Alewites are very syncretic. They even have masses where they drink sacramental wine
>>52391188
It's a heavy load on one mans shoulders and he seems to be holding up well.
>inb4 CIA kills him
Pretty sure /int/ is just the most anti-islam, anti-ME, anti-notUSA conservative mini /pol/
I have come to term with that and only shitpost here because there are better place for serious opinion.
>>52390824
