We are all being duped. Propaganda coming out from the MSM uses general terms like "Syrians" and "moderate Muslims" and "allies".
Trump and I would like them to be more specific. Seems to me they all have one thing in common, they want to establish a caliphate and kill off all the Christians.
Assad is also a Muslim. He is trying to uphold his very unstable system, where 12% of the population of Syria - his Alawite religious group - rules over the rest. He has f*cked up in every possible way and now doesn’t seem to care about anyone but himself.
