Assad’s family has a history of genocide in Syria, but it’s highly unlikely he had anything to do with this. After all, he’s pals with putin, who everyone knows is a paladin of Christianity, like Assad. putin was just a poor boy from the small Russian village of Leningrad forced to become a KGB Colonel; it’s highly naïve to think he’d use terror or associate with those who do to destroy his enemies.
