Hopefully the Russians are having buyers remorse on Assad and orchestrate some type of coup to take him out and replace him with a more rational individual who is still friendly to them. I don’t see how having a loose cannon like this as an ally is beneficial to them. They can’t have sanctioned this action. This makes them look very bad. I know Putin could care less that women and children were gassed, but he’s certainly aware that the PR hit from using WMD far outweighs any tactical advantage gained.
Assad a loose cannon?
wtf?
Syria was utterly stable under him. Predictable.
