SAA has nothing to win from bombing civilians. It simply makes no sense. In modern wars, you need to win heart and minds. The airforce always targets militants - remember there are ten of thousands of jihadists - and sometimes civilians get killed in the process.https://twitter.com/sakirkhader/status/1155166935497265157 …
They have tons to win. Like killing the pop. that runs the critical functions of life that allow a rebellion to continue. Every civilian killed is one less person farming food, one less person to fix broken vehicles, etc. They're intentionally killing civilians you asswaffle.

And you understand that. You fully get it. And you're okay with it. You're good with he Syria regime killing as many civilians as it takes to end the rebellion. You just won't say it out loud, because that would be admitting what a wreteched waste of life you are.

It is their EXACT strategy to murder everyone beyond their control, to sap both the will to resist, and to deny the rebellion any source of support, food, healthcare, etc etc etc. It's a CONSCIOUS decision that says "it is worth killing our own people if it makes it harder for

Exactly. If Assad has ”nothing to win” then why does he do it? He kills civilians to “teach them a lesson”: this is what you deserve for trying to take me out of power. “Assad or we burn the country.” And he has. Every village, every town, markets, schools, hospitals, & people.pic.twitter.com/uiBLJj2VwM

Well said. This was Obama's in deciding not to contest Russian intervention in Sept. '15...he thought Russia would end up in a quagmire. He fundamentally miscalculated that Russia doesn't play by int'l rules. Genocide to win a war is all just a fair day's work for them.

It’s the logical unethical extension of fighting for the control of the population. Denying the population to your enemy is a “win”

Assad won the war -> guys sitting in the U.S. cheering for "the rebels" (who are either al-Qaeda, or are allied to al-Qaeda) are sick in the head

You are so much braver than I. I can't even think about Syria without crying. Let alone debate. Does anyone else remember the Arab Women of History convention in Damascus in 2008? No? Just me? Ok well the whole city is rubble now. *defeated sigh. goes to sleep for a decade*
