Something like war rarely has a singular narrative. Multiple views can be true, which makes getting at the truth to be a complex problem. An account from the POV of Assad’s side is going to clash with those of the rebels, with those of the Kurds, and with those of Daesh. All probably employ some sort of propaganda in crafting their narrative and there is probably some truth found in all of them. Assad is not blameless here and pretending he’s not a petty dictator is just as bad as pretending that are receiving support from the west are rebels with pure motives in mind.
Also, how did this turn into a discussion on Syria when it’s a thread about India?
