Like Robin Hood has said, the only country that is on the right side of the law in Syria is Russia. Not the opposition and definitely not the coalition. So your assertion about the coalitions preferences Paphitis really don't matter. They are acting like a criminal cartel. Their preference is to install another "Butcher of Damascus" that will be their puppet, who will do what they say and not be friendly to Russia. Just like they did in the Ukraine.

Some 55% of Syrians want Assad to stay - (this was 4 years ago)

Assad's popularity, Arab League observers, US military involvement: all distorted in the west's propaganda war

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfre ... propaganda


Really? The 13 million odd Sunni Syrians want their say in the countries future.

That is what is going to happen and if a QATARI pipeline then so be it. The days where the Alawites exclusively control Syria are over!

Ass ad's position is untenable. Pootin knows it too.


No, you are missing the point.

The point is Assad refused the Qatari pipeline first and then there was a 'civil war'. The civil war was engineered as a result and you have become a casualty of western distortions and propaganda about the situation.

You dont want to understand that the coalitions involvement in Syria is illegal and goes against the UN charter.

Russia is the only foreign country that has legitimacy regarding the situation in Syria.


Sorry, but the Syrians started their Revolutionary Spring first for a more open a free Government and Assad started the Civil War by killing peaceful demonstrators on the streets.

Again, legitimacy is pure semantics in this case because the Coalition has a strong moral argument and defacto legality as per the wishes of other groups and minorities in Syria.


No, they did not start their revolutionary spring first and since when do minorities dictate to the majority?

The coalition has no legitimacy here. They are hypocrites.

Exactly! Since when do minorities dictate to the majority?

We want everyone to have their say, Alawites included. The Sunnis comprise 70% of the population.

Yes they started the Spring alright in 2010.

The Coalition is here to stay until the job is finished. Even if it takes us a while we are still going to finish it and Assad can blow us!

Prepare yourself for the transition. Get that white hanky out and prepare to say Bye Bye to Assad. We got Pootin singing our tune now.

What is it about Assad that you hate and what is it about Syria that you love that you would be willing to commit blood and money to resolve?

What is it that you hate about Assad and love about Syria?


Oh such an easy question to answer. So easy its a stupid question to even ask.

What's so good about him?

He is an Alawite Government representing only 30% of Syria. That makes him a Community Leader. Now the other 70% will get their chance and be equal to the Alawites.

And the mere fact that Christofias invited him to Cyprus brings shame to all of us as Cypriots for allowing this despot to set foot on our island.

I may have asked a stupid question in your view but that is better than making stupid mistakes, which is what you are doing in my view.

He has 55% of the vote. He has majority vote!

Further more, how would you know he is a despot?

I offered you some interviews of him a while back, which you wouldnt even watch. You wont even listen to him to make your mind up and to get the rest of the story. The western MSM has done that for you. Stupid mistakes !

No he doesn't because the Sunnis don't have a vote.

Common knowledge. The stories of his tyranny mainly originate from Syrians. We didn't manufacture any of it.

Millions of Syrians are denied any representation and of course they are not allowed to vote.

Of course he was a despot. I visited Syria in the past as a tourist. Every taxi had a picture of Assad where our taxi drivers usually put a cross or jesus or the picture of a saint. Gigantic posters and graffity of him where placed on all important buildings. Assad the father and Assad the son had their faces artistically carved on all sorts of buildings as though they were Roman deities. The view outside my hotel included a huge statue of Assad.

It was as though everyone in Syria lived in Assad's shadow. Having said that, what started as the Arab spring in Syria was high jacked by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, the USA and the UK and transformed into this maelstrom called ISIS.

Not every group is supported by Saudi Arabia. And the same is true that Syria itself has been hijacked by Iran. The thing is, if it is ok for Iran, then it is ok for Saudi Arabia and Qatar to attempt to redress it. The chooks are home to roost.

The key here is that there are many ethnicities, religions, and Islamic Sects in Syria and all of them have rights. Many of them were denied because they were not part of the Alawite Purple Circle.

Big changes are about to occur in Syria.
