He is unable to control Syria because people do not want him. Actually he is the one who dragged Syria into civil war. If he wins this war somehow, It will only sow the seeds of next civil war to harvest .How long his dynasty will rule ?
This true story will address several of your questions ... let me know if I am wrong
Lets go back few years .... I am not even referring decades
Syria is one of the most popular travel destination in the whole region .. economically very stable .. most moderate (next to lebanon in region)
Army is strong ... so strong that they have troops deployed in Lebanon too to deal with the threat of Israel ..
They are openly supporting Hizbullah and Hasan Nasrulla party in Lebanon ...
then israel attacks lebanon ... syria provides full support to Hasan Nasrullah and Lebanon won ...
then year later .. rafiq Hariri gets killed and Syria is blamed... there is so much international pressure they withdraw troops ..
then ISIS is formed on the other side ..
they attack Syria on one front ... moderate rebels appear on the other side ..
US/Turkey/Saudi on third front ? Israel on the 4th ... doesnt it feel odd ?
person who was able to control syria for decades ... whose people were generally happy then suddenly becomes unhappy ? if yes, then why only syrian people ? why not people of Saudi, Jordan, Behrain, Qatar etc ?
I truly believe if people have peaceful environment, flourishing business they give a damn about the leadership even if they dont like it .... why would they risk their family lives because of damn leadership ?
and check impartial videos on youtube related to syria created by humanitarian workers ... those prove most of the people didnt care about leadership
They were not interested in their own country and denial response was too late, weak and feeble
No it wasnt .... join the news website on facebook related to Iran/Russia ... their denial was there hour after attack.
It shows who really cares
Its not about who cares ... no one cares ...
May be Trump's victory in US elections, European confusion and Russian support emboldened Asad and he decided to win war as early as possible by terrorizing Syrian people.
That doesnt make any sense ... Everyone knows chemical weapons and nuclear weapons are big NO NO for smaller countries ...
why would they even risk loosing support of Russia and China over this ...
they have been demanding to UN from day 1 to form an independent commission to trace out facts ... why it isnt formed yet ?
Situation in Libya and Iraq is way better than Syria and only Syrian people can bring stability through ballot
That's not even close to truth dude ...
If you believe ballot is success in Syria/Iraq then you are wrong ... first, they are at the stage of ballot because US was able to kill Saddam and Qaddafi ...
in Syria, they arent ...
secondly .. lybia is at the verge of economic collapse ... crime rate is tremendous ...
Iraq has ISIS .. nothing can top that ...
I do not see him fighting ISIS and Israel.
He is only fighting rebels
How fighting Saudi Arabia, Turkey and US is a commendable thing ?
Most of this is answered earlier ..
Israel attacked more than 10 times in last 3 months I believe ...
they have fought several battles against ISIS ... didnt they won palmyra war last month ? just to name one
About last sentence, I just mean, if US, Turkey, Saudi, Israel, ISIS, rebels are against a country, then they must be right on something ... dont you think ?
