Aris Roussinos Retweeted Shadi Hamid

Which Syrians? Very few supporters of either Assad or the PYD would relish rule by the warlords now in control of much of northern Syria, which is what this policy amounts to. Comparisons between Syria & Libya are almost meaningless in any case: the faultlines are so differenthttps://twitter.com/shadihamid/status/1216779646173425664…

Yes, we hear people talking about how bad Libya is (understandably). Yet for Syrians, a Libya scenario would have have a Godsend. Most importantly it would have saved lives and given them a fighting chance, something they might not have again for decades to come https://twitter.com/tahabito/status/1216749506051612672 …

      Libya scenario in the sense of having direct US military action against Assad. By Libya scenario, I'm referring to the intervention but also the aftermath of intervention, as I lay out here in more detail:https://www.vox.com/2016/4/5/11363288/libya-intervention-success…

      I’ve read it- at the time as well- and disagree with your argument for multiple reasons

      Can't say for sure but probably would be a lot less dead if Syria got the Libya treatment. Forget about what rule people prefer, keeping assad in power has led to 10x the death of Libya, not to mention the industrial scale torture.

      Those 'warlords' wouldn't exist if Assad had been stopped from barrel bombing his way to victory.
