This way of thinking is the reason why so many countries have gotten destroyed. People never learn from history and from others. Now they want to turn Venezuela into Syria 2.0, Libya 2.0, Iraq 2.0, and so many others simply because nobody reads history! Not history of a million years ago, history of past 20 freaking years!!!

You think the governments of any of these countries I just named were so good and without corruption? Do you really think the government in the US and in EU and in any other place is so good and without corruption?

If you think your government is illegitimate, then it is YOUR responsibility to deal with it but when a foreign bloodthirsty regime is threatening your country you must stand against it and with your government not with the foreign enemy.
Why? Because that bloodthirsty enemy would turn you into one of those countries I just named.

Let me give you a quick summary of what happened in Syria.
Syrians had a good life with a good standard of living once. The Ba'athi party was in power, it had its problems like any other government in the world but it was protecting the country and its people and the economy was good. Then came the NATO with its so called Coalition of Willing calling their president a "dictator" and started sanctioning them and by them I don't mean Ba'athi party and Bashar al-Assad; no no. I mean they sanctioned the people. The Syrian economy started shrinking and getting worse every day.

Their NATO neighbor, a weasel called Erdogan also started cutting their water with multiple dams he kept building on the rivers that went into Syria, all at the behest of his boss ie. the US regime. Slowly but surely farmers were left without water, villages and then cities were emptied and people started migrating toward the capital while the economy kept getting worse and worse due to US regime's economic terrorism against the people of Syria. Meanwhile the mouthpieces kept saying it is all the so called "dictator's" fault.

Protests began as millions were living in the edge of the city without work and food while blaming the government. Calling their own legitimately elected government stuff similar to "illegitimate president of the republic".

All of a sudden came a group of armed men whom were referred to with different terms depending on which side you were on. The US regime was calling them "people protesting against Assad regime" and their foreign minister was saying that US is arming them; the rest of the world however knew them as Da'esh aka ISIS, a multi-national group of radical Wahhabi terrorists.

That tore apart their country, before people knew it the eastern Syria was occupied by extremists/separatists backed and armed by the US regime while majority of their oil and gas fields were in full control of US stealing their resources. And as Trump once said about the reason why they still remain in Syria: "it's all for the oil". They don't give a shit about dictators, if they did they wouldn't shake hands with the Arab dictators. Part of the north was occupied by Erdogan and the other part was occupied with Takfiri terrorists who were remainder of US-backed ISIS and al-Qaeda (in Idlib mostly) and their country was being bombed regularly by another terrorist organization to their west called Israel.
Why did all this happen? Because many Syrians cheered when NATO invaded instead of fighting the invaders!

During this time their economy got worse, obviously the government could not even sell its own oil (US regime was stealing it). To the point where people had to stand in line with their identity cards to get a small loaf of bread.

But that wasn't the end, the US regime didn't give up. They revived ISIS on November last year and an internationally recognized terrorist who was a deputy of ISIS named Joulani now rules the capital. Trump even shook hands with him, thanking him for destroying Syria.
These terrorists have already slaughtered tens of thousands of Syrians over the past 8-9 months.

Do you know whom the Syrians are begging to return these days? The same Assad they called a dictator.
Do you know whom the Libyans are begging to return these days that their people are being traded on slaves on open markets? The same Gaddafi they once called a dictator.
A better question, did you know the quality of life Libyans had before NATO invasion was something that Americans and Europeans cannot even see in their dreams at night?
