Assad protects the Syrian Christian minority. I consider that better than the kurds.
Maybe that’s why these Kurds are attacking the Christian minority, not that that justifies it. I carry no brief for overthrowing Assad anyway, mainly because I don’t think a major confrontation with Russia is worth it. If he wants to protect Christians while he’s at it, all power to him. If the Russians demanded it of him, all power to them. Whoever would replace Assad will be horrible to one degree or another, Kurds are no exception. Assad himself is horrible. WTF America is doing sticking its hand into this bowl of crap is beyond me.
