Should we believe that the “rebels” are better, worse or the same as the Assad regime from the standpoint of the US and the West?

Or do we have no clue?

Worse.

But remember in 2016, Obama was in charge.

Today it's Biden

My opinion: Muslim rebels that will impose a Muslim theocracy is worse than bad guy secular dictator. We saw that with Iraq, Libya, and other Middle East Countries. You might even throw Iran in there, although I don’t think the Shah was that bad. Neither side in Syria is good, but one is worse than the other. And as bad as Assad is, he at least protected the Syrian Christians (as far as I know).
