I think it’s worth calling Putin out on his statement that they “advocated peaceful dialogue enabling Syrians to develop a compromise plan for their own future.” that ignores the truth that they sold the Assad regime billions in armaments, and have significant financial/strategic benefit if Assad continues in power. While hopefully most well educated people know this, it’s not untoward to have a comic talking about it. I think you can appreciate that, yes, it’s better to have peace, but appreciate that Russia has a role in propping up the Assad regime. I would love a diplomatic solution, but also would like one that doesn’t mean that Assad can leisurely exterminate all opposition to his regime.
