Believe it or not, an ex-terrorist puppet is not fit to run a government. I see no world in which Syrians have dignity, as part of their country is being occupied and the new rulers are ok with it. If Syria ever establishes a democracy, the first issue will be liberating occupied territory.
Nobody wants to replace the tyrannical Baathist regime with a western puppet, but this seems to be the case. I don’t expect this government to hold onto power long, as they are quickly making themselves enemies of the public.
If we ever get a democracy it will:
A- Need a shit ton of time because most people are not politically aware
B- Isreal would glass our ass before that becomes a thing
And FWIW most people are happy that the majority Sunni are in charge regardless of their actions, makes you wonder...
This dude fought a bloody war against enemies that systematically destroyed hospitals, schools, and entire neighborhoods

Did you really expect him to look like a Swedish feminist lawyer ?
This dude has his fair share of war crimes. He didn't fought against the bloody regime just to save Syrian civilians but to serve Israel, the USA and turkey interests
His group war crimes are well documented , it is not merely an Iran propaganda point

Also don't you find weird that he want a good relation with Russia and Israel who is occupying big chunk of Syria right now and breached Syrian sovereignty by killing Syrian under pretext of protecting the Druze?

This is ridiculous. I'm no expert on Syria that shit is bananas complicated.
But a guy aspiring to get closer to gulf states along with Israel, France, the US and Turkey is not a good guy. He's also literally al qaeda.
Assad ain't good. But weapons and support flowed through Syria to hezbollah and the Palestinian resistance during his government. Objectively a good thing.
Thanks for pointing out the realpolitik of Assad’s Syria vs CIA/ISIS-controlled Syria re: the axis of resistance.
Not an expert, that civil war has way too much going on. Acting like Jolani is the good guy is... I really can't think of a worse set of characteristics.
